Sapper's Intro

[Sap]

Well, when I'm not a raging lunatic, I'm a pretty decent guy.

Again thanks all for the support and also for the texts. I've already had to increase my texting plan for this month. Oh well, spending an extra $10 a month on unlimited texts is not breaking the bank when I'm saving $200 a month not buying dip.

I'm liking watching your quit take shape Sapper-- keep it up! You're going to appreciate this log you're creating too, a little farther down the road. Keep it rolling man you have some momentum building that's gonna carry you!

agree that this snowflake is solidifying so much that people better watch out as if they get hit in the head it may knock them out...

well done and not only keep up the good work, but see it all the way through...

[slug.go]

I think I'm no longer irrationally pissed either...

Oh, and by the way, the snowflake term actually has deeper ties to Project Mayhem than maybe any of us realized.

At the beginning of Project Mayhem when Tyler Durden is standing on the porch with the megaphone yelling at the Mayhem recruits who are working in the yard, I swear there is a point where he says, "You are not a unique and beautiful snowflake."

Perhaps I'm wrong. I need to IMDB that.

EDIT: I looked it up, and yes, that is exactly what he says. Full quote is as follows: "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile."

-Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 17

Keep it up, Tyler, keep it up!

What a great day.  No craves, well a little one when I was playing in the snow, but I smacked that shit down and threw her into low and climbed the snow covered 9% grade.  Truthfully, not sure what the grade was, it wasn't posted, but it wasn't mega steep, just pretty steep.  Probably about the most incline I'm comfortable climbing with nearly a foot of snow on it.  Sat out by my favorite summertime fishing spot and watched the snow fall on the frozen lake, listened to the mallards beg me for some bread.  All with no poison in my mouth and didn't really even miss it.

Isn't it amazing that previous "must dip" activities can now be enjoyed as pleasant past-times on their own merit. Nice job! Quit on my friend.

Yes it is. It was so nice to actually enjoy the day today. I watched a movie with my wife after putting the kids to bed (I've got three of those things... kids) and I wasn't wondering when I could run off and be by myself spitting into a plastic soda bottle, most likely sitting in my jeep out in some cold parking lot so I could pretend like I was hiding my addiction from my wife.

Don't look now, but it looks like the real Sapper is emerging from a long, nic-induced hibernation...and he sounds like he's truly enjoying the little things in life that in the past were either annoyances before being able to snuggle with the Nic Bitch, or vehicles themselves for the toxic relationship. So damn refreshing to see the transformation unfold before us. Thanks for sharing, bro. Quit with you all day, every day.

I feel the fog lifting today. Not dropping my guard, but today's the best day I've had in 11 days. I know it won't stay like this, but right now, my mind is clear, my anxiety level is down and my good nature is back.

I've quit and it feels good. I will continue to quit every day. every damn day, is that the term you kids are using these days? EDD?

Anyway, today is a good day so far.

Kids these days, bunch of foul-mouthed whipper snappers 'crackup'

[Mogul]

Sapper, I like your fire and your ability to celebrate the good times. I almost got trapped in week 3 by this same attitude. Let me explain..

I had just come out of a "classroom" from taking a very big and important "test". I passed and it was such a relief. I was ready to celebrate and guess who was there ready to start off my party. Yep, the bitch. She was not just whispering but blowing balloons, tossing confetti, and pouring the drinks. "Just one dip big boy, you can quit me anytime. Today we celebrate" she said.

Well, I just smiled at her cunning nature. I laughed because she really is that good. It surprised me how one minute she screams at you to take her and the next she's stroking your rod to get you back. She really is a Bitch.

Stay strong and don't trust her. KTC and all of us kids know the way. Stay with us and celebrate here.

That is great Sapper. Enjoy this feeling. Feels pretty damn good to be quit. Don't feel bad about having goods times... Those brief moments are glimpses into your future and they help you recharge for when it gets rough. I like how you are keeping your guard up because the fight is not over. You have to battle EDD. It will get better with time and the daily battle won't be as intense. For now, do whatever you got to do to keep NIC out your face and focus on being quit today! I'm QLF with you!

[Gdubya]

Yep that's it bro. EDD. Or QLFEDD !!! Bro, I gotta tell ya, it just keeps on getting better. Getting your freedom back is the best thing you'll ever do. It's so awesome !!! Proud to be quit with you.
