cbird65 to cbird to bird ... either way here's the back story

[cbird65]

Applies to every quitter

Milestone accomplishments are potential pitfalls. YouÂ’ve hit your first or latest goal and for many of you this is the longest time your body has been off nicotine since the first time you put that shit in your body and became a slave. If you do not continue to set new goals for your quit, many of you will fade away. Unfortunately, the grim reality is, several of those who do fade will be finger banging a can soon.
Stay engaged here. Continue to monitor your spreadsheet and call out the guys how have committed to the ‘next level’. Get outside of these four walls here and find some foggy quitter to help or pop into some ‘old’ group and add your support to them.
We are addicts, plain and simple. If you allow yourself wiggle room, the nic bitch will creep back into your life and whisper sweet poisonous nothings in your ear.

Someone slap me up side the head if I ever forget this!

Day 539

BirdÂ’s Top Ten
1 Quit for you.  This decision to abstain from ANY and ALL NICOTINE is not based on fear or for anyone else. 
2.  Post roll every damn day.  Affirm daily to yourself and to the brotherhood your decision to protect your quit and theirs.
3.  Keep you word.  Sounds simple until every hits the fan at once but if you can’t look yourself in the mirror honestly then you are a weak link.
4. Hold your brothers accountable to posting and protecting their quit  This will require open lines of communication.
5.  Have a sense of humor.  Life is serious enough and quitting sucks.  We did this to ourselves so own your quit. 
6.  Special butterflies need not apply regardless of your life story or circumstances.  Your finger print is the only unique thing about you.  Follow the time tested precepts.  You are not God’s gift to “quit” and KTC isn’t broken nor DOES IT NEED FIXING OR REINVENTING!
7.  Take what you can and leave the rest.  It’s called life – roll with the good and bad.
8.  Protect your quit daily and if you have extra energy help a brother out.  (old or new, we all need encouragement sometimes)  the pay it backward and forward principle.  Note help may include a boot in the ass every now and then or a 2x4 upside a thick foggy skull
9.  No cure, pill or silver bullet to erase our history of nicotine abuse.
10.  Wake up and repeat

Boom, follow that every damn day.

Cbird,
As always, I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!!! 'bang head'
I will follow the Top 10 until I quit breathing. :)
NAFAR and ODAAT 'bang head'

I am not a unique and special butterfly. I am a drug addict. I quit with CBird.

So the Rocketman and I and sharing a mfkuss sandwich last night while he's visiting the oven we call Texas and the table behind us has a business dude still wearing his tie spitting into a beer bottle.

Rocket says "that was us a while ago" and we continued to share our stories toasting to accountability brotherhood and success!!

Anytime you gheys travel to another town - do some research and find out if there are any KTC quitters around -

MAKE THE EFFORT!!!!!

Sorry I couldnt join you fellas, but Mrs. Razd's B-Day takes precidents.

My yard needs mowed. All two Acres.

You busy tomorrow?

:D

You don't have to be the fastest or the smartest gazelle in the pack, just not the slowest or dumbest. The nic bitch always claims those.

You just made part of my signature! I like it!

'getaroom'

PS- goo stuff in here, cbird.

[Evil_Won]

I just found the perfect analogy (video) for all these blowhards who claim to have dip controlled or want to argue the fact they are not addicts and the guys here who fight our addiction openly every day are slaves

This is what happens when you Tempt the Bitch or think you have all the answers and can fly solo.

Keep your guard up.

Awesome analogy!!
Thank you Cbird for posting this. :)
I'm gonna keep my guard up and protect my quit at all costs. It is a life or death decision I will make every a.m. by posting roll and keeping my word. 'bang head'

This analog had this week written all over it. Why would you want to put your guard down with An enemy that has no pity. No remorse. An enemy that can and will knock you slap out. Thanks cbird.

Perfect. Good work cbird.
