Introduction

[Its_Got2Happen]

Thanks for all the congratulations on 300. The truth is it will have wait a few days.� I did indeed kill the can 300 days ago. Dumped 2 full cans in the toilet after a NY Eve party. But here is why I can't celebrate today. Somewhere in the dense fog of day 2 or 3, ( can't remember), I went through the garbage can in my garage and put in an already dipped megawad of grizzly wintergreen for ride to work. Not proud. It was a real low for me. There is no doubt in my mind that I am an addict. I found KTC the next day and everything changed. I had forgotten about that whole wretched episode until several months later. I will adjust that day count from here on out.

IG2H QFT day 298, and like ole LOOT taught me, "never forget day one".�

I will never forget what nicotine did to me, and what I did to myself with nicotine.

Answer the 3 questions!!!!

Just kidding, Ryan. I actually had to kinda laugh at this one. It is pathetic what we did, but it is amazing what we have done. Be it today or in 2 more... Welcome to 3. You pulled and pushed me through the fog, and without you I don't believe I would have made it.

After today I won't bring up the dumpster dive again! Proud of you, and quit with you.

--worktowin

Well,,,,,, you could have,,,, should have,,,, changed the days many days ago, some would say. I say your a bad ass that has earned the stripes as such. I f-Ed up my number of days for several months while back until a fellow quitter called my hand on it. Congrats either way and thanks for the support you've shown me. I quit with you. Erussell day 181.

Paradigm dawg has a timeline of how his quit has progressed - I think we can advance the timeline to... 300 - honesty with ourselves and others as to the extent of our addiction. I sent you this in a text but I'll also post here - it took me 300 days to tell my wife, who I would take a bullet for with no hesitation, the extent of my addiction. I understand completely, and am just relieved that your moment of weakness didn't throw that whole train off the tracks. Because you've helped pull a lot of us up on the hall of fame train and beyond. I quit with you again today, and view this as another healing milestone from an honorable man battling a wicked addiction.

Happy 299 today.

I guess you're right ER. But I can't post what I can't remember. That fog was thick boy, you remember it? I do.

298?

299?

300?

However the hell we want to count it I don't give a shit. From the day I found the site I have been 100% nic free. The only day that matters to me now is today.

I got a few texts that said I was lying all this time, etc. My apologies if I offended anyone with post or may "inaccurate" day count. From here on out its a plus one.

The point of the post, don't forget where you came from, and don't forget what got you here. The day that I forget I am an addict, I am in danger of failure. That goes for day 300 or 3000.

And thanks a lot Worktowin. I think you get it.

I guess back at the time I didn't "fix the count", because I was in denial about admitting that I was a pathetic junkie. I don't know exactly when, but something changed. And now I font mind at all. Again, my apologies to anyone offended. Please understand it was not well thought out or premeditated. I only ever thought about twice. Around 200, and now at 300.

Ryan,, Enough said bro!! I read this last night and didn't lose no sleep. Those first 3 days will make a person do some pretty stupid things. Day 300 can make you do some pretty amazing things.. Another reason to never go back. I'm quit with you today....

please don't be a plus one-er

Whatever you did prior to posting on KTC is irrelevant as far as "caving". There was no cave involved whatsoever because you weren't here. I don't give a shit what anyone did prior to posting Day One here. However, I believe you should be posting whatever day it is from the day you joined KTC though so sounds like you're doing the right thing. Quit with you everyday bro. Gives you a milestone to look forward to tomorrow.

Thanks Morgan1. I think you hit the nail on the head.

Got2,
Three hundred days sounds awesome but i dont think that is your real number. You see, your quit has snowballed. Yours enabled mine, so that is at least 324. Now i know im not your only project so lets say conservatively you've helped 10 others. They likely average around 50 days each, again, a conservative estimate. That brings the total up to 800+. Now we have something, but it goes on. Those folks you have aided have done the same for other newbies. They are only worth 1/2 credit but their numbers grew exponetially. And what happens when that third generation makes a forth?
The point is your single decision to quit has effected an infinite number of people. Im proud to be one of them.
Thanks,
Grizzfall.

What a great day to be quit.   282 I think? 

Last week I took my first hunting trip without the poison.  The car ride played some mind games on me, but I used the tools.  I chatted with quitters almost all the way from Detroit, MI to Madison, IN.  Once I got there I went into hunt mode.  Guess what?   You can shoot a bow without dip, you can put up tree stands without dip, you can kill deer without dip.  How could I have been so worried about a real non issue.  What a dumb ass.  I stressed about that trip for weeks.  Had a terrible dip dream the night before I left.  Oh well, now I know.  Hunting had nothing to do with dip. NOTHING!!

Gorgeous fall day here in southern Michigan.  Spent the day at the cider mill with wife and kids.  Tractor ride, fall colors, apple cider, donuts, picking pumpkins, etc.  Not once did I think about dip.  Not once.  It is amazing that our bodies and minds can really heal over time. 

I remember avoiding this outing in the past.  I would instead choose to sit home and dip by myself and let my wife take the kids without me.  I was "too busy".  House work, yard work, whatever the excuse of the day was.  What a shit head I was, I had no idea what I was missing. 

New quitters, you may not see it yet, but quitting can be done.  And it is so worth it.  It will get easier.  You have to fight through it.  Quit today, focus on today.  One day at a time.

Had anyone told us, and they did, 282 days ago how we would feel and how much better life would be now, we wouldn't have believed them. We didn't believe them.

Now we are the ones that are laughing. Enjoy the cider! Proud to be quit with you again today.

So this is what it means to quit in "beast mode". Thank you for sharing your hunting story. We can do so many things without dip. I continue to quit each day for myself. And bad ass vets like you help make it easier. Quit on brother.

Glad you are enjoying your hard fought freedom! I have been trusting you that things get better from the beginning of my quit so don't stop telling the newbs how good it will get if you just fight through.

I will be right be hind you. I am going to go into the blind soon and dispel all the beliefs that she has put in my melon that I need her to be good at what I am doing. I just have to focus on my technique concentrate on the kill zone and let my arrow go...

Thanks for sharing the hunt lets us know we can do it too.

What a great day to be quit.   282 I think? 

Last week I took my first hunting trip without the poison.  The car ride played some mind games on me, but I used the tools.  I chatted with quitters almost all the way from Detroit, MI to Madison, IN.  Once I got there I went into hunt mode.  Guess what?   You can shoot a bow without dip, you can put up tree stands without dip, you can kill deer without dip.  How could I have been so worried about a real non issue.  What a dumb ass.  I stressed about that trip for weeks.  Had a terrible dip dream the night before I left.  Oh well, now I know.  Hunting had nothing to do with dip. NOTHING!!
