Quitting today - Intro

[Thumblewort]

Just want to document this one for future reading.

Played golf today for the 1st time in the 167 days I've been quit. Everything was a trigger as I was a nicotine fiend, but golf was easily top 3. I had to rush out of the house this morning so I didn't post roll in the morning. I was playing with my boss and a client and I never would've dipped in front of them in the past so during the round was no issue. This is course is badass as its hosted multiple PGA's/Ryder Cups/US Opens, etc. Anyway after the round we shot the shit and had a few beers. On the way home I had a nice buzz and passed about 20 C-stores and I'll be damned if the nic bitch wasn't hollering at me as I passed each one. I had gum/seeds in the car and I wasn't in any real danger of stopping but it just goes to show that the nic bitch is always laying in wait and just the fact that 1 day I hadn't posted roll in the morning, and she was trying to seize on the opportunity.

Protect your quits at all times and don't for a minute think that the nic bitch has moved on, because she hasn't.

Lighty, I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again. I'm damn proud to quit with you every day. You are one bad ass quitter.

And I wanna hump your avatar. Quit with Lighty today.

Been a while since I posted in my intro - now on Day 76.

Had an interesting experience yesterday. I was in line at Kroger and it happened to be the "poison aisle" with all the nicotine products. My eyes locked on a tin of Kodiak and it was like a lightning bolt from my self-conscious hit my brain screaming, "Hey, I remember that. I want that again". It was a fleeting thought and as I walked away from the check-out line I realized that was the first time I laid eyes on a tin of Kodiak in the 76 days I've been quit. I've seen other brands buying Smokey Mountain at Wal-Mart but they don't sell Kodiak.

It hasn't been a fully conscious decision, but I guess I haven't actually gone into any of the old gas stations where I used to buy dip. I have walked by the tobacco section in Sam's but I hadn't actually seen a tin of Kodiak. Not looking for any insight on this, but I just wanted to type it out and also note that right after the lightning bolt hit my brain I firmly said "Nope - never again" as I was walking away.

I really like this quit! Way to keep kicking ass

Lighty, I procured my poison at a specific 7-11 for years as it was 1 block away from my place. While I went in a couple times for seeds and jerky during the first couple of weeks, that early in my quit I consciously avoided eye contact with the wall.

I moved to a different building in the neighborhood around day 15-20, but I haven't been back in that specific store, or any 7-11s since. I dont really want to buy anything from them again. They've profited enough from my dumbass.

Or town and country's I say no no no to convention stores. I go to walmart and avoid the tabacco line and it's so much cheaper for my soda pop and chips anyways.

I avoided them in the beginning. I was always worried that the clerk would recognize me and ask, "Grizzly Wintergreen, right?"

Now, I almost want them to ask me so I can say, "go to hell."

Has anyone else consciously or subconsciously avoided the old c-stores they bought dip in?
