New Quitter

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Day 261 - 4/1/14
Rough patches suck, but no matter if I am fighting with family, having a rough go at work, have an unrealistic client with unrealistic expectations or have IT issues I am quit, yet the quit is not running or ruining my life.

I have had a short fuse and a volatile temper my whole life, quitting made that worse on certain days, but fore the past 75 days that has not been an issue.  I do what I want and I take what I deserve, only what I deserve though.  This is how I was raised and that is how I will be.  I don't need someone to give me a hug and tell me that it is going to be alright.  I love the sucky patches in life, as they remind me just how well I do in fact have it.

Last night I was coaching baseball practice for my 8u team for one hour and then my 12u team for 2 hours.  Being an oblivious coach who used to dip in front of both of these groups I have a 11 year old walk up to me after a brutal round of throwing techniques and drills and he hits me with a bomb that almost made me lose it in front of everyone.

Here I am expecting a question about rotational throwing or following through only the have him come over and ask to shake my hand and say "coach I just wanted to say I am proud of you for quitting".  It is not often that I am speechless but damn.

So Nick I quit for you today buddy!  I didn't realize that my addiction caused me to impact your life in more than I originally intended.

Thank you,

Coach Corey

Woosh....that is cool and hits home. Isn't life funny, sometimes we have no idea of the impact we have on others, good or bad. Live the best you can. Awesome Pinch!

Nice job Coach. Winning the hearts and minds. Quit on!

Bad example turned roll model. This is the value of Quit. Well done.

That's a great story Pinched. What you did taught him something much more important than how to pitch. Proud to be your Brother!

You may have saved some kids' lives by quitting. Good job.

Day 255 - 3/26/14
Well About 250 days into my quit life changes continue to happen.� Going through a very rough patch of life but I am quit, there hasn't even been a single time where I contemplated if a dip would make it better.�

I am well aware that I am human which means I am always one dumb ass move away form going right back into addict behavior.� That is why I continue to carry a can of fake dip with me, hell this can has been in my pocket for well over a month and the seal hasn't been broken yet.� It is kind of my "break glass in case of emergency" stash.

I have preached not doing the minimum for a while now, yet here lately I travel so much and lack patience to post in every group from my damn phone.� I post as much as I can when I can, but I never hesitate to post with my DFs in October 2013.�

I have seen the highs and lows of quit so far and I can say the his are much better than the lows.� Looking forward to coaching baseball practice again tonight dip free and finally saying I can be a role� model for these boys.

Today I quit, there is no chance of that little weed calling me back today.� I gave my word and right now that is all that matters.� So until tomorrow� 'Finger' Nicotine.

P

Quit with you P! Life indeed has it highs and lows....I have been really struggling at work with some things that are beyond my control, but I know, as you do, that any thought that having a dip would somehow make it better is a flat out lie. In fact, we know it would simply make it so much worse. Set the example for the youngsters you coach and the family you love, at the end of the day it is those activities that define who you are and strive to be. You are an inspiration in my quit and the time you are able to spend here has made difference.

Awesome job P. Just so you know, I was exactly where you were in the 200's. That is where I finally felt like I could function. I put my fake dip can down, too. Kept one in my truck for a couple months, but never used it. Finally threw it out one day.

Life sucks sometimes, and other times it's great. As you are learning, nicotine doesn't make anything better, only worse.

Drive on, Recon.

Nice to have you back P. Thanks for the update. No one worries about your quit commitment! I'll quit with you every damn day.

Pinched you are a fighter. A fighter with determination and humility. That is very, very, hard for your enemies to conquer.

Quit with you every day.

It gets better.

Never again, for any reason.

Holler if you need to.

You got this. You have the tools. You know how to use them. Nothing can derail your quit unless you give up on yourself. Quit on!

I liken quit to running. Some days you are in the zone and the wind is at your back no matter which direction you turn and its all down hill. Others days, it is the dreaded uphill both ways with a blue Northerner raining ice pellets in your face. This isn't a sprint and some days you just need the 'off day' (doesn't mean you shouldn't post w the DF's every damn day) but maybe throttle it back elsewhere.
You've got an arsenal of weapons to use so stay frosty.

Good job pinch. You've come a long ways. I'm feeling a lot like you lately, believe me. I'm thankful this month didn't happen last year.

We read, learned, posted, kept our word and now have the tools to defeat this addiction daily. No way we give this freedom up. NOT FOR ANYONE OR ANYTHING! We now don't depend on the poison to get us through life's challenges. We depend on what the lord has given us. Quit with you today my friend.

Its a hellacious thing to actually be able to stand before everyone here and admit that life is hard, and then even harder, and yet you don't dip the shit anymore to cope with it. What a feeling that is. Thanks for your words of encouragement both past and future pinched. You get it man!!!

Well About 250 days into my quit life changes continue to happen.  Going through a very rough patch of life but I am quit, there hasn't even been a single time where I contemplated if a dip would make it better. 

I am well aware that I am human which means I am always one dumb ass move away form going right back into addict behavior.  That is why I continue to carry a can of fake dip with me, hell this can has been in my pocket for well over a month and the seal hasn't been broken yet.  It is kind of my "break glass in case of emergency" stash.

I have preached not doing the minimum for a while now, yet here lately I travel so much and lack patience to post in every group from my damn phone.  I post as much as I can when I can, but I never hesitate to post with my DFs in October 2013. 

I have seen the highs and lows of quit so far and I can say the his are much better than the lows.  Looking forward to coaching baseball practice again tonight dip free and finally saying I can be a role  model for these boys.

Today I quit, there is no chance of that little weed calling me back today.  I gave my word and right now that is all that matters.  So until tomorrow  'Finger' Nicotine.

P

Quit with you P! Life indeed has it highs and lows....I have been really struggling at work with some things that are beyond my control, but I know, as you do, that any thought that having a dip would somehow make it better is a flat out lie. In fact, we know it would simply make it so much worse. Set the example for the youngsters you coach and the family you love, at the end of the day it is those activities that define who you are and strive to be. You are an inspiration in my quit and the time you are able to spend here has made difference.

Awesome job P. Just so you know, I was exactly where you were in the 200's. That is where I finally felt like I could function. I put my fake dip can down, too. Kept one in my truck for a couple months, but never used it. Finally threw it out one day.

Life sucks sometimes, and other times it's great. As you are learning, nicotine doesn't make anything better, only worse.

Drive on, Recon.

Nice to have you back P. Thanks for the update. No one worries about your quit commitment! I'll quit with you every damn day.
