SKOAL MONSTER

[Evil_Won]

My friend Billy died of liver failure today, he wasn't even 40, and he did it to himself.

I wish I could say" I don't understand how a person could continue to abuse a substance they know is killing them."

But I do.............. and if your here, I suspect you do too.

It isn't the addiction itself that is the problem. It is the difficulty in finally accepting that your an addict, and living with that reality.

Stop pretending you have control, stop lying to yourself and just admit that you look at the world thru nicotine colored glasses. Using nicotine is suicide on the installment plan, stop ignoring that fact.

  Let go. You don't need it. You have been strong your whole life in spite of nicotine not because of it.

You deserve better than dying young in a hospital bed still craving the drug that killed you.

There is no" just one" , I cannot control my use of nicotine. I am an addict.  I accept this.


Lean into the fall my friends, life can be amazing without nicotine. It's just a matter of choice.

Leaning into the fall.

sorry for your loss SM, well written and heart felt...

Proud to be quit with you sM. Prayers sent.

I'm Kubrick and I'm a nicotine addict even though I have not ingested any for 531 days.

That's why I come here each and every day. To remind myself that I will always be one, but I don't have to give in. Not today.

Sorry to hear about your friend. It's tough to watch someone do that to themselves when there is nothing you can do.

Sorry for your loss. I appreciate your taking the time to share it with us. Quit on, SM

thoughts  prayers for you  your loss skoal.. quit with you everyday..

My heart aches reading this. I don't know Billy but I had a "Billy" in my life. Witnessing the decline and not being able to stop it....It hurts. There isn't comfort in this but you are not alone.

Resolved to be quit with you. I guess how we help is living quit and proving that it can and should be done.....Thanks for sharing your experience.

I watched my friend Tommy fall as well battling demons.

You don't want to be fighting for your life while battling withdrawals. You will be flanked. You will lose.

Prayers my friend.

Deeply sorry for your loss SM. Can't say anything else about it other that I'm quit, and I'm glad you quit and leading the way for many others.

[Mike from AB]

Sorry to hear for sure SM, prayers sent up for sure

[Dougie]

"Put the sheep in a couple of dog crates and put em in the back seat"

What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

For starters,

Don't go out and drink 8 Makers Marks the night before hauling the sheep. While giving me courage to contend with the cat sized caterwauling puff balls it also gave me a top 10 career hangover. 

I cant properly describe what a car full of wet sheep stuffed in dog crates smells like after 8 hours when you have the windows closed because of rain. I have never been more miserable.  Sheep are loud when they're hungry, and when they relieved themselves in the crates........... there was vomit.  I tried to drown myself by hanging my head out the window in the rain and opening my mouth, but no luck, I mostly lived.  I've decided Makers Marks are out.

Don't go to the Strip Club.

If Klark Griswald decorated a doublewide trailer and all the strippers looked like Elvis after a meth bender, it would be Planet Lockwood.  I fell in love. She had a moustache and could carry a bale of hay under each arm and swing around the pole just holding on with her teeth.   A muscle dude called me Dougie Howser....... I called him my bitch and threw a dollar at him. My brother decided we should go. Strip clubs are out.

Don't stop to feed the sheep.

You ever watch two grown men bottle feed 6 baby sheep outside  the rest area bathroom? One guy has to clamp the shit stained noisy little bundle of sweaters in a full nelson while the other stands in front of it with a bottle shoved in its grass muncher. From 25 feet out it was hard to see the sheep. I didn't realize that everybody staring at us could just see one dude on his knees in front of another dude who was holding something at waist level.  I thought they all just liked baby sheep. Perverts. In retrospect.... loudly saying " just take it" , " put it in your mouth you fuzzy bastard"  " suck on it" probably confused people who couldn't actually see the sheep.

After 8 hours in sheepy hell we arrived home. My wife gagged from a distance of 3 feet when I opened the car door. Next week she said I can come back inside.

Please tell me this is not a real story...OMG I would have loved to see this sight. I am not sure where you come from but don't they have pick up trucks out there. This is a great read I am not sure if I wanna party with you cowboy or not...

'chief' That's all I have to say on this matter. 'crackup'

Hell, I'd rather build a chicken coop..............

So where are these porn stars now?

Sheep are happy out on the family farm, the truck has been detailed twice and I'm starting to like the smell. At 42 I realize that ....... I make baaaaaaaad decisions....

'crackup' great story sm! Almost spewed coffee all over my computer screen....

God I hope that is realy because I just about lost my shit all over the keyboard this morning... I'm just glad no one was around so I didnt have to explain that story outloud.... 'crackup' 'crackup' Moreover, don't blame the maker's mark... I fucking shower in that shit...

Thank you! 'crackup'
