Today is the day!
Good morning sir. Now, I'm going to ask you first to step back for a minute and pretend that you are at an AA meeting. Can you envision a conversation of "throw out the vodka, and switch to beer. It will help you taper off?" Or a substance abuse counselor advising a heroin addict to just cut back a little, or maybe switch to cocaine?
Patches, lozenges, gum, e cigs.... Man they are all little tools in the toolbox of big tobacco deigned to keep you as a consumer. I have a kid at work who eats losenges like a man possessed. Then he smokes about 1/2 a pack a day. "I can quit whenever I want." Uh... Yeah.
983 days ago I came to Ktc. I was scared. I was a 25 year Kodiak can a day user. I tried to quit hundreds... Fuck probably thousands of times. I posted some pathetic intro about how I was really gonna miss my good friend Kodiak and how I had a lot of good time with it. And BOOM I got slapped down... I was schooled quickly. And I listened.
I hope you do too. Quitting at first sucks candoit's balls. At first it seems hopeless. But here there is hope. We've all been there... Done that. And we all survived. And then, weirdly, these benefits that we never anticipated became clear... Food tastes better. We aren't ashamed and hide. We don't have to make up excuses to run to the store. We save thousands of after tax dollars. I could go on and on...
But the process won't start until you set ALL nicotine in the dumpster and you MAN UP and quit. Join us. Listen to us. Suck on candoits balls (ok you don't really have to do that) but get in here and quit! Yell at us. Cry and cuss at us. Dude whatever you gotta do... I swear to God, I was every bit the junkie you are. 983 days ago I actually remember tears running down my face. Never again my friend. Thanks to this place.
Ball is in your court. Carpe diem
