Pretty F'n Scary!

EVERYONE needs to go into the 'Hall of Legends' forum and check out Dean the Coots' post.... Fuckin' inspiring. Made me think about my quit a little differently. I am closing the door.

Stolen from Greg5280 over at whackthepack.org:

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

-Tecumseh

Always loved that writing.

Quit on bro...

Man the evenings are tough! I'm on Day 6 today and it hasn't gotten any easier yet. It's not so bad during the day but my cravings really kick in in the evening. And I'm still not sleeping very well. I wake up alomst every hour.... Still hanging in there though.

Great job picker of strings. I remember those evening,, especially early in my quit. I remember sitting there one night in particular. I was sitting there feeling sorry for my self,, tears streaming down. I looked at my wife, told her I didn't know if I could do this.

I dug deep and made it through that night. I used the site, wife, determination and drive. Most importantly I made a promise earlier that day that I could not break. I made it through that evening and guess what. The next evening was a little easier. The next a little more easier. You see where I'm going with this.

You keep pushing through my friend. Things do get better, that I can promise. Now I sit here in the same seat and can't believe how much of a slave I was. I can't believe I ever shed one tear for the poison. The poison sucks. My life is so much better. You will get where i'm at my friend one day at a time. You can do it,, You know how I know?? I did!!!

I guess the tougher these early days are, the less likely I am to cave later.... I figure if I put myself through this shit why would I want to relapse and have to do it all over again.... Bring the suck!

You got this brother. To be honest not every day early in my quit sucked...just the ones that ended in Y.

I am here if you ever need me brother. Stay strong today, and quit like a beast again!

Well I went to bed as planned and did not mess with the humidor at all. The way I was feeling last night it was just best to stay away and get rid of then today. They're gone now. No cave here!

Great. Want to see you succeed my friend. One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it. Need another number let me know.

Well done. Way to nut up and abolish Tobacco from the house.

Yeah its tough to destroy pricey cigars but screw it. It had to be done.

Congrats on doing that! You're really kicking this!

Day 4 started well. I felt rested and strong. That lasted most of the day. For dinner I ate a shit load of pizza and was really full after.... of course you all know what you want after a big meal right? I sucked on some life savers and smoky mountain and played with the kids.... got through it. Then I remembered my humidor. See I have some really fucking good cigars in there and I haven't thought about the humidor at all since I began my quit earlier this week. Instead of going to the humidor I came down to my office and logged on here and started reading, replying, and hanging out on the site. That's where I am now. When I'm done here I'll go up to bed.... not going anywhere near the humidor. Not even to destroy the cigars. If I open it up I may be more tempted so I'll stay away from it today and will get rid of them tomorrow.

Welcome to the site. One recommendation. Destroy the cigars NOW!!! The pure fact your thinking of them is proof of that... Why do you still have them (rhetorical question that needs not answered)?

[Mike from AB]

Sounds like a good evening! Ha, the after meal one huh? That's a huge trigger for sure! For a dip or a cigar or both! Glad to hear you decided to come on here instead for sure.
