It only makes sense that I would congratulate you on the 2nd floor on the "eve" of such. It feels a little ... off, which of course just feels right in this case! In all seriousness bro, proud as hell to call you a DD brother, and also of the job you do here at KTC. You carry the glint of quit in your eyes ... and you stare into the soul of newbies to make them feel it! At least ... I think that's the glint of quit. Why are you looking at me like that bro? Wait, what is that behind your back ... is that, is that a knife? Dude ... I was j .................................
Instead of 8meds, I'll call you compost, just like the time I made it to 200 days at dontkillahobo.org ....and to your beneficiaries, thanks!
Congrats thumb. Your work here is greatly appreciated.
Thumble, great accomplishment, for a great quitter. Keep doing what you do.

So Day 99 just so happens to be a monthly poker game that I haven't been to since February (pre-quit). Depending on how I was doing I could go through most of a can on some night, so this was a big trigger night. I talked about it in chat, and had my legs and balls threatened if I caved 1 day before HoF. So I prepped before I went, toothpicks, cell phone, chat in the KTC chat before, plus I told my non-nic business partner who also plays poker about the triggers and such, so he had my back.

It was a light crowd, 23 players, and of course the random draw puts my next to the only dipper in the room. This is a very friendly game, so we all know each other, but karma dictated that I sit next to him. The shit stunk, and I had no issues.

So we get to break, and I'm lamenting with my partner on how bad I suck at poker, and the dude joins our convo. I ask him how much he chews a day, to which he responds "oh, you chew, did you need some?". Before I could refuse, my partner jumps in with "no, he quit a long time ago" ( he knows too well, he went through the first month of hell where I was bitchy to all). So the dude immediately starts hitting me up with questions on how and why. I gave him my card, so if you see another N. MI quitter in the future, it could be him. Mid 30's, 2 kids, Tim is his name.

Call this a testimonial on how KTC works, not only did I not have a crave, I was trying to recruit.

And I really suck at poker.
Congrats on the HOF, I'm sure you will look delicious in your yellow blazer.

Whenever a guy hits a 100 days I go back and read their entire intro. Yours was very very interesting. First of you're a stud and have come a long way. Secondly you got some unnecessary shit from guys who don't know how to read.

The site needs more quitters like you. Guys who face some shit and prevail, rather than dick tuck and bail. I can sense you will be a great asset for future quitters as well.

Also, speaking of Northern Michigan, me and the fam are headed north Wednesday morning to Charlevoix for 4 nights and then hitting Boyne for a night. My kids love water parks...

We may hit Traverse City (cherry festival is over, right?) as well, so if you smell a string odor of quit floating about, it's just me. What does quit smell like? Lavender and Jasmine.

Again, congrats on the HOF!!!

Quit on...
Thanks Diesel, I prepare taxes for 7 different cops including the Chief of Police, so the authorities have been notified to shut down 131  72 if a wave of flowery quit musk crosses the bay during the weekend.
Thumblewort, you and I haven't had much interaction, but I agree with Diesel that you are a huge asset to KTC. I love reading your stuff and proud to quit with ya.

Thumble that was great to read! It sounds like you have a solid brother there looking out for you. You are surrounded by people dedicated to your quit. I agree wholeheartedly with Diesel and Mogul. You are a huge part of KTC. Glad you are here! See you tomorrow! ;Ironman:

Glad to hear the quit sailed through the game. Poker is my big time hobby and it had gotten to the point where I never played without a dip. I'm not sure if I could have continued to play after quitting without the fake stuff. Some of the folks I play with continue to dip, but my craves are pretty much satisfied with Smokey Mountain. I hope they turn to me for quit info like that guy at your game did.
I gnawwed up a dozen toothpicks in 2 hours, but I am always nervous playing. Love the rush of going all in, win or lose, and the $20 fee for 2 hours is worth it. Love to be better, but I do not have a poker face.
TW, great win, risky as hell but glad to see you had the resolve to kick ass. I am one of those sadistic mofos that loves being around other dippers now. No I don't envy them, but that rotten ass smell emitting from their mouths reminds me why I quit.

Quit on brother,
P
Pinched, I decided to go Friday because it was day 99. If I can't face a large trigger once and for all I didn't deserve day 100. I skipped May and June's game because of the craves it would cause, so it is a good victory to have under my belt now. Quit with ya all day long!


J2B, here;s how I play..........blinds are 5/10, no pre-raise, flop comes, I hit my straight, no bets to me, and I blurt out $300. fold, fold, one dude says nice straight fella...........sigh. $20 buy in for $1000 in chips, re-buys for an hour, made it through with no re-buy but got blinded out withing the next hour.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

So Day 99 just so happens to be a monthly poker game that I haven't been to since February (pre-quit). Depending on how I was doing I could go through most of a can on some night, so this was a big trigger night. I talked about it in chat, and had my legs and balls threatened if I caved 1 day before HoF. So I prepped before I went, toothpicks, cell phone, chat in the KTC chat before, plus I told my non-nic business partner who also plays poker about the triggers and such, so he had my back.

It was a light crowd, 23 players, and of course the random draw puts my next to the only dipper in the room. This is a very friendly game, so we all know each other, but karma dictated that I sit next to him. The shit stunk, and I had no issues.

So we get to break, and I'm lamenting with my partner on how bad I suck at poker, and the dude joins our convo. I ask him how much he chews a day, to which he responds "oh, you chew, did you need some?". Before I could refuse, my partner jumps in with "no, he quit a long time ago" ( he knows too well, he went through the first month of hell where I was bitchy to all). So the dude immediately starts hitting me up with questions on how and why. I gave him my card, so if you see another N. MI quitter in the future, it could be him. Mid 30's, 2 kids, Tim is his name.

Call this a testimonial on how KTC works, not only did I not have a crave, I was trying to recruit.

And I really suck at poker.
Glad to hear the quit sailed through the game. Poker is my big time hobby and it had gotten to the point where I never played without a dip. I'm not sure if I could have continued to play after quitting without the fake stuff. Some of the folks I play with continue to dip, but my craves are pretty much satisfied with Smokey Mountain. I hope they turn to me for quit info like that guy at your game did.
I gnawwed up a dozen toothpicks in 2 hours, but I am always nervous playing. Love the rush of going all in, win or lose, and the $20 fee for 2 hours is worth it. Love to be better, but I do not have a poker face.
TW, great win, risky as hell but glad to see you had the resolve to kick ass. I am one of those sadistic mofos that loves being around other dippers now. No I don't envy them, but that rotten ass smell emitting from their mouths reminds me why I quit.

Quit on brother,
P
