New Quitter

[kana]

Day 33 - 8/16/13
Today started much the same as normal, wake up grab iPad post roll with my Ducks, kiss wife, run 7.2 Miles, do pull=ups (write down number to remind son), Shit, Shave, Shower and drive to work.  Get to work, post roll in several other groups continuing to add to my accountability list.  Then read Intros, stories from October Group, fix bumps and update QAS.

However, today was different..I couldn't figure it out for a bit but now I know why.  I haven't even put in a fake dip yet, that is 4 hours of moving and no fake dip, no craving nothing.  I don't want to get excited but WINNING ODAAT.

Sure helping with the QAS makes more work for me, but the accountability it adds is great.  The best thing I can do is own my quit and be responsible for it and I will continue to do that.  However, knowing that others struggle and open themselves up to complete strangers inspires me for all the +1s I can get.

Keep the sand out of your Vaginas and quit strong.

Good post pinch. Been keeping an eye on your quit and i'll have to agree. You are owning it.

Your doing great in your group. I like how you've been holding people accountable and giving words of encouragement. All this will work for you in your quit. Like you stated, you didn't even think about the fake for hours this morning. That's excellent!! That would be a mark in the win column.

I'm at 183 now and I can tell you it's so worth it. I go most of my days now without thinking of the poison. When I do it's not because I want it, but because i'm loving my new life and thinking of how it use to be. My craves are nothing. I still have them occasionally but they are weak at best. I easily kick them aside.

Keep doing what you are doing pinch. Proud to be quit with you.

Nice work pinch.. a man with a plan, is a smart man.. keeping yourself busy, exercising, (new) routine, this will all strengthen your quit. I didn't use the fake until after HOF.. I thought I needed it, but it didn't last long. I actually noticed I liked gum better.. After awhile I would have those same thoughts.. At the end of a long day, work, yard work, chores, etc... I would think to myself, wow I went all day without a piece of gum? You're re-programming now, and doing great. Quit with you!

Yep its amazing how fucking stOOOOOpid peeps look with a full lip. My first real run where I saw dippers out the ass was at a PBR event. I had a doosh sit right in front of me that not only had one can in his pocket he had two. He bought a 5 dollar water poured it out so he could have a spitter. Bout half way through the event his son had stuffed his lip full of popcorn and said now I look like daddy.

That just means that your wife likes gross dudes...lol....

Proud of you buddy.

I quit with you.

QLF!

Day 32 - 8/15/13
Last night I sat and watched my 7YO son at his soccer practice.  While sitting there as a QUITTER I finally got to observe other dads.  I coach baseball and softball teams for each of my kids, I ninja dipped at all of them and didn't really know any better.  I observed the soccer coach sporting his lip full of shit along with 4 other dads three with lip fulls and one smoking like Nicotine addict.

I sat there quietly chewing through my Jim Beam BBQ Seeds and finished one whole bag.  What I noticed was that they were oblivious that everyone could tell.  All I could think about was how all of them were standing in a pool of their own spit, it actually disgusted me.

To think that I myself shared spit cups with others before, pinched out of other people's cans as though there was no risk and only reward.  My quit is stronger today after seeing that.  Not only is the happy bad for you it is just fucking gross.  How in the hell did my wife tolerate it and marry me?

I QUIT with you all today and this is my plus one.

It is amazing how much you are oblivious to when you are dancing with Nic. I remember going down to my favorite watering hole about a month after I had quit. I was finished eating dinner and one of the regulars came up to me and was talking to me. All I could smell was the Wintergreen Shit he had in his lip. His breath was terrible and I was ready to puke. This was a guy I chewed with and drank with endless times. Now I could barely look him in the face. I am ashamed of all of the bad impressions that I had made over the 18 years that I was addicted to that stuff!

One more reason to stay quit my brother!! Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and being a leader!!



Quit with you!

Day 31 - 8/14/13
I had a good nicotine free day yesterday and this morning started with off with 5 rounds of 20 ring pull-ups, 20 crunches, 20 hand stand push-ups, 20 185# OH squats, and then 220 seconds rowing.  I felt like shit before the work out, but I pushed through.

I know that if I continue to eat my weight in gum and sweets as my replacement for the Nic bitch then I will balloon.  So instead I choose to quit Nic and use my frustration to fuel my body to keep it in check.

My inspiration to quit is to lead by example finally by not using something that will shorten my life, plus I really like my family and I want to see them as long as possible.  The reason I do my fitness routines is because I like playing baseball, hiking, waterskiing, zip lining, etc. with them too.

I remember as a kid seeing the other kids that had active dad's and how much I wanted to have that too.  Don't get me wrong my dad was cool, taught me lots of stuff but wasn't really an athletic guy because what he let post Vietnam depression do to him.

However, that was his excuse.  I myself have post war depression but I am still fighting.  I fight for me but I certainly enjoy the benefits of being all the dad that I can be.  Plus it certainly doesn't hurt knowing that my wife enjoys that I am still conscious about my fitness.

I offer this to you all, if you ever need a reason to do both look at your family or recall your childhood and that should do it.  If you still need help call me I can and will help.

Nice post there are a lot of us running around with post war crap thanks for sharing. Yes I should have focused on the gym more in the beginning but I am now so that is all that matters. Weight is way easier of battle than cancer. I applaud your post. Quit w you today

Way to battle  set the example! Reading your posts have inspired me to get off my a$$ finally. I am not able to do 5 rounds what you did this am yet, but I am off to a start. Keep at it brother. You are winning this fight. Don't take your foot off her throat! QLF with you any/every day!

Wow Pinched...30 freaking days, that's awesome.

Your sweet posting makes me want to hug you and I am damn happy to be quit with you.

Day 30 - 8/13/13

HOLY SHIT 30 days have come and gone, I am starting my Durty Thurties today!  I have been warned that the thirties are bad, the 60-70 days are bad and then after that it is the 101 through life that is hard.

Well I have news for everyone and this may come as a shock to most.  I am a stubborn, hard headed, belligerent son of a bitch (no offense momma).  I am sincere in the words I say and by god if I promise something it will be done.  I promised myself that I would quit.  I daily rail on other quitters on here because they didn't post role or they caved.

I have done and will continue to do those things; not because I am an asshole but because I care and accountability means the world to me.  I do them because you need tough love; if you want a hug go cry to your momma, wife, husband or best friend, otherwise come see me.

I do it because I want to live; hell I want to watch my kids play with their kids, I want to be able to kiss my wife daily, I want to taste food, I want to smile.  Sure I can be an asshole, that is one of my endearing qualities, if you don't like what I have to say then either shut your ears or keep your damned promise.

I owe the KTC folks my life, that I am still getting back one day at a time.  I didn't come here to make friends but it turns out that I have.  I have not lead an easy or glamorous life but I sure as hell have enjoyed the last 30 days of it.

No longer do I need a place to spit, my fingers are clean, my truck doesn't smell like a rancid thermos of milk, my teeth are white, my breath doesn't wreak and my wallet is fatter and finally my jeans do not have a ring scar.  There are not empty water bottles sitting at the "ready" there are no empty cans scatter in my truck bed.  Most of all though I am not lying to myself, my family or any of you.  GOD DAMN that feels good too.  SO FUCK YOU UST, you will not be getting a Christmas bonus courtesy of me!

Congrats on 3-0 brother! Glad to be quit  in the fight with a bada$$ like you!

Well Fucking said! Good to know there are other assholes here with us! I was starting to feel lonely!
