We Quit Like Fuck

[Grizzly25]

As for the 120 day funk, I'm going to button down the hatches and prepare for the worst. I'm making a conscious effort to ween myself off of the fake dip. Quite frankly I'm just tired of shoving shit in my lip. My quit is growing stronger though. The more days I put under my belt, the more I cherish my new found freedom. It is so nice not to have to clean 4 nasty spit bottles out of my car that reek from sitting in the hot vehicle. I'm happy that I don't have to spit in those nasty bottles when I don't have an empty spitter. I'm happy that the inside of my car isn't caked with dried tobacco droppings. I'm happy that I don't have 5 cans sitting on the kitchen counter for my step sons and wife to look at every day. I'm glad I don't have 5 empty plastic bottles sitting next the sink just so I can always have a clean spitter. I'm glad I don't stop at gas stations to buy a bottle of water just to pour it out so I have a clean spitter. I'm glad that I don't have to avoid conversations with people because I'm dipping. I'm relieved that I no longer contemplate my slow painful death from cancer every day. I'm relieved that I no longer contemplate what it's going to be like to not have a lower jaw. I'm relieved that I don't have to stress dentist appointments anymore. I'm glad that my baseball players no longer have to watch their coach dip in front of them. I'm glad that I've met dozens of crazy fuckers that are going through the exact same shit I'm experiencing. I'm glad that I now get the feeling that I'm helping others with their quits. These are but a few of the things that I cherish about my new found freedom. 120 day funk? Bring it on bitch, I'm ready for your games.

All of this because my dentist told me that my gum tissue looked like shit and my wife told me to try out this website she thought would help me quit....Killthecan.org.

(Coach Steve climbs atop the glass soapbox of April 12 to address a concept that plagues newbs and long time quitters alike.....the concept of forever or the rest of your life)

First of all, as most of you reading this should already know, the concept of quitting forever is not the means here at KTC. The means is to make your promise not to use nicotine one day at time. This is the "means to an end" with the end goal being the rest of your life. As I've recently described to a newb, your addict brain can grasp the concept of one day at a time while the concept of forever may seem daunting and unendurable.

Although we preach the concept of one day at time for good reason, it still troubles me that people have such a difficult time with the concept of quitting for the rest of your life. For those quitters that choose to lament about the concept of quitting forever, I must ask you why you came here in the first place? Certainly it wasn't to just quit for 100 days or 200 days. No....you posted Day 1 so that you could free yourself from the chains of your nicotine addiction for the rest of your life. Did you not? Was that not the ultimate goal? If so, then why is it that the thought of achieving the ultimate goal (albeit one day at a time) simultaneously creates a sense of anxiety?

I cannot for the life of me understand why the concept of forever is such a downer for some quitters. Lets think of it in different terms. For those of you that are married you remember the "till death do you part" words that you repeated to one another during the ceremony. Did you want a divorce on Day 10 because the concept of forever was too much to handle? Did your spouse look at you and say, "It's ok honey, just take it one day at a time?" For those of you that have children, when your first child was born did you run away on Day 15 because the concept of having a child for the rest of your life was too much to handle? I hope you answered "NO" to all of the above questions. If so, then why do you balk at the concept of quitting for the rest of your life?

I believe the answer lies in concept of addiction and the whispers of the nic bitch. This is why it is important to focus on quitting one day at a time as the "means" to the "end" of quitting for the rest of your life. The nic bitch is much less convincing if you force it to convince you one day at a time that you are not able to achieve your ultimate goal. After all, that is what the addiction is doing to your brain.....attempting to convince you that you can't stay quit. However, you must not let your addiction convince you that the ultimate goal is unachievable. In order to achieve the ultimate goal, you must quit one day at a time while simultaneously embracing the concept of the rest of your life.

good post Coach Steve. I've been really struggling with why there are so many who come to this site, use and appreciate the tremendous resources here but fail to grasp this concept. It's like they truely are here to just stop. They are also purposely leaving the door cracked open (practically planning) for a future cave.
We all came here to quit tobacco (I presume). The goal is forever, the implementation is 1 day at a time. They go hand in hand.

Well Said!!!!!!!

Keep your eye on the prize!

i will not say i am quit forever and i don't have to.... i will quit today and do that tomorrow and 'forever" will get worked out in the proces....

Damned good quote there TCope!! One day at a time brother, a system that will not fail!

Aside from feeding your addiction, what do / did you really enjoy about dipping?

Be careful, it's a trick question.

I enjoyed....... the being a rebel of it!

I liked going against the grain and it elevated me, seems very stupid now since I feel even more elevated since I quit.

I liked the texture and the flavor.....kodiak

So you liked to "pinch the bear?" What do you enjoy the most about being quit?

(Coach Steve pulls into the driveway of the glass house of April 12 after a full day of baseball practice and general activity. Only a few quitters are home but those present are gathered in the hallway gazing upon a note placed on the Wall of Fame. The note is from CrockettÂ…Â….)

Dear Sheepfuckers,

IÂ’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately when IÂ’m not busy courting sheep. I actually like you guys....which is not cool for me. IÂ’m Crockett, so I canÂ’t allow myself to actually like a bunch of faceless internet strangers. ThatÂ’s why I tell you guys that you suck when I really like all of you. Also, this site (and all the time I spend here) is getting in the way of my super busy sheepfucking ways.

Sincerely,

'chief'

p.s. IÂ’m moving to Lite on April 30th because they condone beastilialty

Coach Steve: What the hell is this shit?
Texasjack: I guess we got that “peace, I’m out” post I was talking about
Coach Steve: YeahÂ…but this oneÂ’s differentÂ…
Texasjack: How soÂ…..?
Dethan: EhhhhhÂ…..feck em! The guy likes to have sex with farhm animalsÂ…just feckin weird
(Just then, a mystery quitter walks in through the back door)
Matt W: Not been on line much, but still quit. Thank god for the somewhat decent fake stuff, C-ya!!
Vadge: Sure thing Matt. I am also thankful for fake. And..........who are you?
jj price: A mystery...
(Matt W quickly runs out of the back door)
Coach Steve: OkÂ…Â…..
Dethan: Ya see what happens when you hang around with people that have sex with farhm animals?
Auburn: {walking into the room wearing his uni-tard} This short bus to 200 is like premature pork sword lift off
Texasjack: {shielding his eyes} Do you have quit wood!?
Auburn: {looking down and then looking right in TexasjackÂ’s eyes} It certainly appears that way doesnÂ’t it?
Dethan: {averting his eyes} It sure does dere AubsÂ…
(Bluebonnetman walks into the living room from the kitchen)
Bluebonnetman: Hey Coach I want to get back into these narrativesÂ…Â…Â….{his jaw drops as he sees Auburn}
Bluebonnetman: {slowly tip toeing backwards into the kitchen} Perhaps now is a bad timeÂ…Â…Â…
Auburn: {placing his fists on his hip Superman style} I plan on jerking the ole pork sword at many times as I have days quit! Right now IÂ’m on 68 and IÂ’m badly in need of some lube to get to 98
jj price: {shaking his head} Why am I always in the narrativeÂ’s with Auburn jerking it?
(Auburn turns to face jj price and accidently brushes the pork sword against JTArmsÂ’ shoulder while heÂ’s sitting on the couch)
JTArms: {jumping up from the couch} Holy fuck! What is that thing?!
Auburn: Sorry about thatÂ…the pork sword has a mind of its own sometimes
(The group hears a knock at the door and the door opens, Bruce317 walks into the living room)
Bruce: So guys I just wanted to stop by and say congrats.....{freezing as he sees Auburn} Oh....my.....goodnessÂ…Â…..
Auburn: Hi Bruce!
Bruce: Yeah....um.....is this a bad time?
Auburn: Not at all...why do you ask?
Bruce: {pointing at the pork sword while trying not to look} It just seems like you guys are in the middle of something
Auburn: {turning to face Bruce} Just looking for some lube.....
JT Arms: {ducking the pork sword as Auburn turns} Geez....us!!!!
(Just then, a faint fap, fap, fap sound is heard coming from the bushes next to the glass house of April. The group turns to see Luby peeping into the window and making a motion with his right hand. As soon as he sees that he's been spotted, he pulls up his pants, looks at his fake watch, and does the fake elevator trick again)
JT Arms: You know....I'm really sorry I asked about what else goes on in this group
(Pavetheway strolls into the room with his trademark pimp strut)
Dethan: Oh lookÂ….its the sex cavatah!
PTW: glass house of April.....Auburn jerking it all dayÂ…Â…..fap fap fap fap fap

PTW: OkÂ…really? No haiku responses? Lame!
(Crockett walks in through the front door)
Crockett: I like your HaikuÂ…Â….But mine's way the fuck betterÂ…Â…Suck that, sheepfucker
(Crockett and PTW stare at each other, the wind kicks up and a tumbleweed rolls past, the theme from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly kicks up in the background)
PTW: Heard you were leavinÂ…Â….
Crockett: Maybe I amÂ…Â…
PTW: Headin over to Lite huhÂ…Â…..?
Crockett: YeahÂ….
Vadge: {exiting the bathroom} You guys are mos defÂ…Â…ghey as ghey can beÂ…Â…Â….rainbows, Grim-Jaw, and Sex-cave
(Just then, a grappling hook breaks through the living room window and IRISH zip lines into the living room wearing a little green leprechaun hat)
IRISH: Crockett just loves to fuck sheepÂ…Â…The dude can rage in his sleepÂ…Â….But sheep he will fuckÂ…Â….And pushing his luckÂ…Â….For a lot of sheep pussy to reap
Coach Steve: Now thatÂ…is a fucking limerick bitches!!
BWB: Really.......? I'm gone for a few hours and I have to come back to this shit?

For those of you that have children, when your first child was born did you run away on Day 15 because the concept of having a child for the rest of your life was too much to handle?
