1st Day Quit

[chris2alaska]

As we all struggle to find our way through this maze of misinformation and half truths that the media and politicians keep trying to feed us, we need to keep our focus strong on our quits.  If you are prone to anxiety and find yourself stressing over the current world situation or, better yet, your own personal situation brought on by the world situation, just remember, you have brothers and sisters here that are willing and able to help.

Turning back to the nic bitch needs to be the farthest idea from your mind.  Make sure you have digits for other quitters and don't be afraid to use those digits.  If you would like mine, just send me a PM, I am happy to oblige.  Those digits could be the only thing standing between you and a cave.

Stay vigilante my friends, don't let the world get you down and if you need to talk to someone, pickup the damn phone and call one of us. 

As always, I am proud to quit with each and every one of you every damn day.

Chris

As I sit here on the eve of my 700th day of being quit from nicotine, I am unsure of my future.  I have lived the last 699 days one day at a time, never really planning into the future.  Now that I know I no longer need nicotine to live my life, I need to actually make plans to live it.  That being said, I am finally taking bake my life.  I have two surgeries scheduled for early next year, the first is in January to get my foot fixed (I have a huge bone spur on the back of my heal under the Achilles tendon).  Later in February, I am having a Sleeve Gastrectomy performed to help me get my weight under control.  I have lost 30 pounds so far on my own but I need to loose another 150 to get where I need to be. 

Once these have been done and my healing is mostly under way, I can then concentrate on doing things I have missed out on for so long, mostly spending time, and actually engaging in activities, with my family.  Things that being overweight and tied to a dead plant have robbed me of for so long.

I have been very depressed for the last year because of my situation and now I can finally start to see the light at the end of tunnel. 

Now, let's talk about nicotine.  Nicotine is in the top 5 most addictive chemicals known to man.  It has a 67% addiction rate for those that have tried cigarettes or chew.  That means that 6 out of every 9 people that try products containing nicotine will be addicted to it.  That, my friends, is really shitty odds.  You'd have a better chance of surviving a game of Russian Roulette.

Now, let's talk about the mortality rate.  Tobacco KILLS up to half of it's users.  More than 8,000,000 million deaths can be attributed to just cigarette smoking (1.2 million of those people were none smokers that died from second hand smoke exposure).  <----That was always my way of justifying my dip use, I would say, "well, at least I'm not hurting anyone else with my dip".

So let's recap, 6 of 9 people who try tobacco, will become addicted to it, 3 of those 6 will mostly likely die from tobacco use.  If I knew these statistics 33 years ago when I stuck that first dip in, I would probably have declined it that time.  Unfortunately, that was not the case, and here we are, addicts all of us hoping we have skirted the big C.  Some of us will not make it out alive, but we can sure live free from our addiction until that day comes.

So what is my point today?  I don't know.  I just had some thoughts rolling around and they needed to find there way here.  Who knows, something in this diatribe might help someone.

Anyway, tomorrow is day 700 for me.  I am truly thankful to all those who have supported me and continue to do so.  I only hope I have been able to support all of you the same.

Thank you.  God bless all of you.  I love you all as brothers and sisters.

Chris

I will be by your side through the ups and downs, anything you need my brother... anything.

Congrats Chris on your 700 day eve.  You are one of the vets that I remember from early in my quit...first couple weeks when I was fully in the suck.  Just the fact that I remember you from that time means that you were active in our Oct '19 group, supporting my quit brothers and sisters, always encouraging.  You've helped to prove that, no matter the odds, with the will and help from others we can beat just about anything.  You have the will to overcome your future challenges and there's no doubt in my mind that you will find the support right here.  Personally, I look forward to the opportunity to return some of that support that you so unselfishly showered upon me and my group over the past several weeks.  We have your back brother.  Go get it!

Congrats on 700, the same day I hit 365.  Pretty weird sitting here typing this now, when I remember thinking on day 1 when you wrote in my intro and PMed me your number how weird that was at the time.  LOL but, it’s what we do.  Thanks for setting a good example of what a quitter should be around here.  Happy 700!

Congrats on 700 and let em know if I can help in any way. Proud to quit with you.

Congrats on 7-HUNDOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Proud to quit with you and honored by your support!!!!!

This calls for POM POMS!!!

Damn proud to be quit with you today brother!! Congrats on the 7th floor!!

congrats!  Well done!

Ahh. I remember that day we crossed paths so long ago. You were there when I had my first moose, showed me the ropes, what to do, and (ouch) what not to do. The beaver incident (how was I supposed to know?!), how finding pepper spray in bear shit is a bad sign, salmon kissing etc.  I'll never forget it. or you. I still have that wolf skin thong.
Congratulations my friend - 700 never looked so good.
