[T-Cell]

Congrats CBird! shocker

[brettlees]

Watch!  something pretty cool going on, below vvvvvvv

Wastepanel smiles and unlocks his chest for for the second time today. The rubber suit we stepped up in so many times rested in his green hands. The single white glove that adorned his hand during his calling card move (the stab) sparkled in its protective envelope still at the bottom of the chest.

Finally...It...has....happened. Somebody has been quit served.

He had never been as excited for a combination like this since Reece did his thing with chocolate and peanut butter and ABC merged musicals with police shows in Cop Rock.

hint- it's not really "stepping" that's so cool...

Uh....shit fuckface....Quickly tosses suit back in chest and slams it shut...Every fucking day!

A tear falls down his green face. The world is just not ready for that...again.

now wait a minute! wai-wai-wait a minute! (scratch-style)


What if Waste stepped AND SERVED?!?!?!

ok now THAT would be cool! I'd pay to see it.

[Coach Steve]

(Coach Steve awakens on the second floor of the Glass House of April 2012 and stretches his arms. Leaning onto one elbow, he peers out of a break in the curtains. Beyond the glints of morning sun CS can hear Ziesmer in the backyard of his August 2012 House of 'Finger', tending to his herd of smart ass miniature horses. Out of the corner of his eye CS sees someone sitting in the small wooden chair in the corner of his room. As he turns, CS sees Cbird seated in the chair wearing a blue robe, running shoes and holding a cup of coffee)

Cbird: Good morning sunshine!
CS: Good morning Watcher...thanks for stopping in today
Cbird: Sorry I missed the last few days of watching you wake up, but I had to....um...catch up on a few things
CS: Not a problem really...having someone watch you wake up is totally overrated
Cbird: Glad you understand, well {standing up}...I'd better get going...gotta do 13.87 miles today
CS: Cool, see ya later
( Cbird turns toward the door and pauses reaching for the handle)
Cbird: {turning back} So Coach.....
CS: {sitting up} Yeah Bird?
Cbird: {sigh} Do you notice anything different about me?
CS: Not really....what are you getting at?
Cbird: {shrugging his shoulders} I dunno, I just feel a little 'blue' lately...
CS: {getting out of bed} You probably need more electrolytes
(CS puts on his glass slippers and as he looks back Cbird has vanished in a puff of smoke....)
CS: Hate it when he does that....
(Just then, CS gets a text from Gmann)
Gmann texting: You should check out CbirdÂ’s new look....
CS texting: Just saw him...looks normal to me
Gmann texting: OMG!!!! Does he do that every morning?
CS texting: Totes
Gmann texting: K
CS texting: No K
Gmann texting: que?
CS texting: What?
(CS closes his flip phone, gets dressed and heads down stairs to the Hallway Like Fuck. As he turns the corner into the Glass Kitchen, CS sees pavetheway, Bigwhitebeast, ERDVM and Rated sitting at the breakfast table eating Cheerios and bantering amongst theyselves)
Rated: Hey Coach, maybe you can help us figure this out...
CS: Figure what out?
Rated: It's Cbird...we think something's up with him lately....
CS: Like what?
BWB: Well Coach...do you remember back in the early quit when we couldn't figure out if you were a man or a woman?
CS: {furrowing his brow} Vaguely...yes
BWB: Well its kinda like that, except different
CS: So you guys think Cbird is a woman?
ERDVM (Vadge): No, no Coach...haha, that's not it at all. What Beastie is trying to say is that CbirdÂ’s color seems a bit different these days...
CS: I saw him this morning....looks the same to me
Pave: {turning in his chair} Does he wake you up every morning?
CS: Well...almost every morning...he's missed the past few days
Rated: {standing up and pointing his finger in the air} Ah ha! I knew something was up with Cbird!
(Just then, Texasjack comes running into the Glass Kitchen wearing rain boots and an American flag speedo)
TJ: Guys come quick, there's breaking news on the Dramatron!
(The gang rushes into the viewing room where they see Evil Won anchoring the KTC News Desk)
Evil Won: Fellow quitters, we've just been informed that Loot has ended his months long sabbatical and has returned to bring accountability to the mud huts of May 2014
Pave: Do you guys know haw hard it is to sexcavate in the mud?
TJ: I always imagined it would be like midget mud wrestling
Vadge: Remind me to tell you guys a story later....
Evil Won: Now weÂ’re going to go live to our correspondent on the sceneÂ…what can you tell us Wastepanel?
Wastepanel: Thanks EWÂ…well we know that Loot arrived at the mud huts of May 2014 sometime this morning accompanied by his security team
Evil Won: What else can you tell us WP?
WP: As I said Loot arrived this morning and, according to eye witnesses, entered the mud huts of May 2014 and began poking quitters with his cane. Some of the May 2014 quitters simply ignored Loot, posted roll and left for the day, while others just laid there with blank stares
Evil Won: Wow. You would think a retired ADMIN with 3000+ days of quit wouldnÂ’t just get ignored when he reaches out to a new group
WP: YouÂ’re absolutely right EW, but the fact is a lot of these newbs just donÂ’t put in the effort of reading and understanding all that KTC has to offer. It seems like the prevailing mentality these days is post once a day through 100 and youÂ’re cured
(Just then, CS jumps out of his chair and rushes to the Dramatron)
CS: {pointing} Rewind that back! I think I saw something!
Rated: What was it Coach?
CS: Just rewind the damn thing!
Rated: Ok, ok, geezÂ….
BWB: Coach do you need a Snickers bar? You get a little klark when youÂ’re hungry
(Rated rewinds the DVR)
CS: Stop! {pointing} You guys see what I see?
Vadge: Is that CbirdÂ….?
Pave: Damn sure isÂ…..why is he wearing a blue jump suit?
Rated: OMG! Do you guys even listen when I talk? I told you something was up with Cbird!
BWB: Calm down Rated
Rated: OkÂ…sorry for yelling, but what is Cbird doing in a blue jump suit!?
CS: ThereÂ’s only one way to find outÂ….Beast, fire up that truck, weÂ’re taking a ride down to the mud huts of May 2014
(The Glass House quitters pile into the bed of the truck, and Beastie peels out onto 2012 HOF Groups Street. After hauling ass down KTC Boulevard, Beastie pulls onto the 2014 Pre-HOF Groups Dirt Road and the quitters can see a large crowd gathered outside of the mud huts. Beastie parks the truck and CS hops out of the bed and sees T Cell standing behind the crowd)
CS: Have you seen Cbird?
T Cell: Sure havenÂ’t, but thereÂ’s a lot of commotion and he could be in the middle of it
CS: WhatÂ’s this all about?
T Cell: One of the May 2014 quitters asked everyone to step
Vadge: Step? Like take steps?
Rated: Like do the two step? {square dancing} I call this the Hawkeye Two Step!
T Cell: No not like thatÂ…
Vadge: Is he tallÂ….? Maybe he was offering someone a stepping stool so they can conversate at eye level?
T Cell: No, noÂ….he had an aggressive tone, and then he did this little dance
Rated: Like this?
T Cell: More like this
CS: Oh…I see. So did anyone ‘step’?
BWB: These guys need to ‘step’ to the Nic Bitch
Vadge: Agreed. IÂ’ll step all over the nic whoreÂ’s face
(Just then, the lights dim and it starts raining. The crowd forms a dance off circle around the May 2014 quitter. The music starts up and Bean walks out of the crowd, shirtless, with lights on his hands, and begins stepping)
CS: What in the fuck is going on here?
Vadge: I dunno, but Bean has some sick moves
(Bean finishes his dance and jlewis begins his stepping routine to a chorus of boos from the other quitters in the crowd. Just then, the music scratches to a halt and another May 2014 quitter steps into the dance circle)
Lipizzaner: Fuck all of you whiny old cunts!
Diesel: Fuck you back
Lipizzaner: Your bitch fest is getting old
Diesel: But IÂ’m just warming upÂ…
(Just then, the crowd quiets as three loud rasps fill the air)
Rated: What the hell was that?
CS: Shhh! ItÂ’s himÂ…..
Rated: Him who?
CS: Loot
(The crowd stirs and then quiets again as Loot is seen approaching the dance off circle wearing a white robe. J2B and Gmann follow behind wearing red robes. Loot lifts his right hand to address the crowdÂ….)
Loot: Does any quitter hailing from the tribe of May 2014 ever speak?
Lipizzaner: Who are you old ass dude?
Loot: IÂ’m here to quit. IÂ’ m here to never forget day one. IÂ’m here to hold you accountable. ThatÂ’s who the fuck Loot is.
(Just then, J2B raises his golden staff)
J2B: To the quit!
Crowd: {fists raised} QUIT!
(Gmann approaches the crowd and claps his hands)
Gmann: Ok everyone thatÂ’s a wrap for this eveningÂ…remember you are all invited to the House of April 2011 for beverages!
(As the crowd begins dispersing the familiar sound of sirens and the rumbling of the MOD Squad Crown Vic can be heard skidding onto 2014 Pre-HOF Groups Dirt Road and screeching to a halt just in front of the Glass House Quitters. The front door flies open and Cbird steps out of the MOD Squad Crown Vic.)
Cbird: Howdy boysÂ….how bout a ride along?
CS: Fuck yeah
(Texasjack attempts to slide across the hood and falls off. The rest of the quitters pile into the Crown Vic. Before getting in, CS turns to jlewis1)
CS: Hey man, you wanna come along?
Jlewis1: IÂ’m busy
CS: {smiling} Well thatÂ’s too bad
(CS hops into the MOD Squad Crown Vic and Cbird peels out leaving a cloud of dust over the crowd)
J2B: {dusting himself off} I canÂ’t believe we made him a MOD
Gmann: Oh come on it isnÂ’t that badÂ….kinda funny actually

(As the Glass House Quitters and 1 newly minted MOD screech down the 2014 Pre-HOF Groups Dirt Road, BWB can be seen leaning out of the rear passenger side window throwing a bowling ball at the January 2014 Group mailbox)

Rehash

things I wished I had learned in the first week here

The "tools plus the personal contacts made on KTC are like bullets." They must be loaded with determination, the gun must be aimed accurately and then the trigger must be pulled in order to hit your target.

Building friendships among your quit brothers adds another layer to your quit but it is action oriented and for many it will take you out of your comfort level. It takes time to seek someone out, to get to know them, to share with them and soon trust them. How likely are you to cheat on your friend?

Get outside of yourself and stop focusing only on you. But IÂ’m hurting you say. I reply, go find someone who is hurting more. Find a way to encourage or challenge your brother to take one more step. When you stop focusing on your own pain and help another, two quits are strengthened in the process.

Use the ChatLive room- a whole different environment all together

Exercise coupled with an increase of water consumption, to date, has been one of the best activities to combat the nic bitch. Exercise and water will help flush out the poison we've ingested for years and it is good for every aspect of your quit. The release of the anxiousness, pent up anger or rage with the benefit of dedicated thought time. Start becoming a better man/woman. If the stress and rage becomes too much, log on and vent to your group. Never, and I mean never vent on your family.

WeÂ’re learning to recondition our thought and response methods. ItÂ’s funny how we like to romance our history with nicotine. We had all the same emotional ups and downs we have now. What did nicotine really do ~ nothing. There is no clarity enhancing characteristic in the chemical compound of nicotine, we just associated it and choose to remember it that way.

No fingerprint is identical; neither is the quit for any member here; however, you are joining an organization created by quitters and this site has seen it all. Remember this: “It ain’t personal, it’s about the quit” and in most cases the guys offering you advice are trying to help you so just listen. Your "quit is in infancy stage" so park your attitude and ego. You are not a special butterfly.

This site is based on honor, brotherhood, accountability and success. What are you doing with your quit when no one is watching?

Great advice!

Two years quit -- and waves and waves of ripple effect from staying deeply involved in quitting. Way to go!!!!

'BanDog'

AHHHH!!!
I've been 'COACHED'

I find this gif hilarious as I keep getting stuck wondering what the banana taking it is thinking. He's not fighting too much, but the look of shock suggests surprise sex. He's wondering whether he likes it or not. He may be contemplating the ride home, or may have just been busted by his significant other (BTW...why am I assuming gay banana sex here? Could be a female...).

So many questions unanswered (like that dog on a skateboard years ago)...

The receiving banana is probably wondering how the ride home will be and what to do if their eyes meet again...they could end up in another hotel or looking for the exit. Or maybe he was just walking through the woods and heard banjo music but it was too late to respond because the banjo player was a marathoner like you and Cbird... no point in running from a marathoner is prolly what he is thinking.

Heard thereÂ’s a new soap box somewhere in April 12 but IÂ’ll be damned if I can find it

A new gentle and calming wind seams to tickle the ears now but that’s NOT what got me here today (714).  The revolving door of ‘failed quits’ looks like a fan due the number of caves.  Their story is the same: ‘I stopped posting roll regularly and I drifted”.  Some think they have nothing to pay forward and feel they have benefited from the site but don’t need it any longer. Some will use the excuse ‘this site makes me think `of Copenhagen too much (my drug of choice for nearly 35 yrs) .  My only response to that is no shit Sherlock – we are addicts in an inactive stage and we should be intentional and determined about our quit.

The lack of chatter in the rooms is deafening.  No room chatter equates to no synergy of the group and no bonding.  I guess all the chatter is behind the scenes via text.

Be active, be diligent and pay it forward.  Like any organization, we will only grow if you are actively quit, use the tools learned from this site and spread the word.

No I know what the "C" stands for in CBird65!

Thank you Confucius!

Inspirational threads belong at the top. This thread should have 16000 views. Read and learn from the Cbird.

Cbird, you're sort of like a yoda of quit!
