T-Cell's Quit!

[jake frawley]

Day 537
Thought I'd share a little more of my background today so you all know where I come from...
Started chewing at age 13 along with most of the other boys and girls where I grew up in north central Washington state. Grew up rural, on/near the Colville Reservation, chewing was just a major way of life, as were hunting, fishing and drinking (not necessarily in that order).
Firmly addicted by college age, never a ninja dipper. Always out in the open about it. Got married. Got my BS. Had two children with my wonderful wife. Got my MS. Got progressively better jobs. Moved to CO. Wife went through major cancer treatments, gave up smoking. I kept chewing. Kids were militant about trying to get me to quit, but I wasn't ready...
38 years later I no longer enjoyed copenhagen, but I kept stuffing it in my now damaged piehole. Suffered through tooth loss and gum/bone loss. Was a "pusher" at work for other ninja addicts... Started becoming aware at just how much of a slave to the can I really was...
Finally pulled the trigger on quitting Feb 10, 2012 when a pal introduced me to KTC. Thanks DW3 for that.
Now 537 days later, I'm quit and I'm rabid about quitting.
If I can do it, anyone can do it. You just gotta want it and be true to yourself...

Epically awesome!!!! Stay strong. You are an inspiration to those around you!!

Quit life is great, but I did have a little setback recently trying to provide support to a newbie. Dude asked for my help after a cave. Did well for about a dozen days (I posted for him twice in that time after bugging him via text), then he somehow lost his phone in the lake, quit posting and quit responding to PMs. After he asked for my help!
Dude wasn't ready to quit. Even worse, he isn't ready to be honest with himself about what he wants. 'bang head'
Quitting is simple, but it isn't easy. It doesn't just happen because you join KTC, you have to jump all the way in, drink the kool aide and learn how to build a big quit. Not everyone can do it, but there are thousands of ktc quitters around to prove it can be done...

T-Cell, Don't get too discouraged. For every person that isn't ready, there is somebody that will soak up the 500+ days of quit knowledge you bring to the table. Guys like me look at that 500 number and say.. He does it one day at a time, Damnit, that must be how it is done. We march along to that same song.
Glad to be quit with you, and glad you are still here bringing inspiration.

Day 534
So quitters, when was the last time you stuck your finger in your eye and got that juicy finger tobacco burn? Or even better, got your tobacco in some else's eye?
Just a couple of addict behaviors I don't have to perform any more...
Or how about spitting on: 1) your shoes, 2) someone else's shoes, or 3) you dick at the urinal.
A couple more addict behaviors I don't do any more...

Or how about spitting on someone else dic...ummm never mind.

Quit on.

Yep, me too. May I add that I am very happy I no longer accidentally spit into the good soda, or drink from the spitcan.

Day 526
Starting a new intro today, my old one had issues and had to go away. I hadn't been keeping up with it anyway, much prefer to read others. But I will now say this to all newbies thinking about quitting...
DO IT! Absolutely the best decision I've made in many many years. You to can be quit. One day at a time. The recipe here at KTC works, you just have to own it.

Thanks for sharing in your new thread T-cell your a bad ass quitter and I really appreciate all the advice I read of yours. Quit today worry about tomorrow then...it isn't easy but it is simple. Thanks T
