There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

Day 193

Today is Friday January 13, 2017. It is the second Friday of the year, and a week before my 200 days. My life and my quit have changed a lot in 200 days. Do you know how good it felt to mark myself as a non-nicotine user for work when I signed up for insurance? You know how wonderful it is to not feel constant nagging of the nic bitch? And before you say anything, yes she is still there, and yes she still whispers to me. I have learned to tune her out most of the time.

In the beginning I raged with the best of the. I would jump into any fight that I could find on ktc just to get myself focused on something else. A lot of times I wouldn't make much sense, and I loved to chew people out. Slowly, my senses started to return to me. It is amazing to sit here today, over 6 months after my last chew, and loving life. I find it funny most of the time to see the new quitters, as I se the same statements and arguments repeat themselves over and over often ending in the same fashion. These days, I choose to use a more level headed and logical approach to helping the new quitters.

I empithize for the cavers. They are the losers on KTC, not because they failed us, but because they failed themselves.

My goal everyday is to stay quit, better myself, and hopefully help someone else quit.

I hope and pray that someday, KTC will be pointless, that this cancerous drug is no longer sold to anyone anywhere.

Stay Strong, Stay Quit
And... it's just that simple!

Get involved and stay involved!

The freedom... damn. The Freedom! It's a weight lifted from you that you didn't know you were lugging around. No more managing the addiction... you just get to live life, ups and downs, like it was meant to be lived. All concentration aimed at, finally, being the real you.

Well done, brutha.

And... at 1,368 days, let me tell you... it just gets better.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Well,

This one is gonna be a little more serious. Today is day 150, haven't updated in a while, but I thought it was definitely time. Ironically, it is December 1st. It is the start of a joyus month. I have been selected and chosen to accept the honor of HOF Conductor for the month of December, I never thought about it until it was offered to me.

This year, this Christmas, I have so much to be thankful for. I am nicotine free, my health is improving, I have met an amazing woman, and I have met many amazing friends. At just 150 days, day 1 seems like a distant memory. It has been a while since I have craved on a regular day. I still get those specific trigger craves, but they pass quickly, and I can handle them. I have started to use my experience quitting chew to try and improve other parts of my liffe. If I can quit this nasty addiction cold turkey, why can't I eat healthier or exercise more. The simple answer is will power, quitting is 100% about will power, and if you have the will power to quit, you can do anything.

2016 has been and continues to be a magical year for me.

Typed this up in January 16' to a rather "famous caver Bsarno" but, I felt that even if it doesn't help him, It helped me and hopefully others:

Do you have any idea how hard 100% is? I can tell you right now, you are not 100% committed. If you were "100%" then you would have thought out an diligantly answered the 3 questions!

Do you even understand why we ask the 3 questions? Do you understand that, in reality, the answers are not for us, but for you. The 3 questions, are legitimately important to all of us. In fact, successful quitters answer those 3 questions. They either answer them after failing themselves and their brothers and sisters on KTC or for those of us who succeed on our first go around on KTC, we answer those to ourselves before ever joining.

Matter of fact, to make my point stronger, allow me to give you my answers.

1. What happened? Well I said for the millionth time, I am going to quit. But, because I am a punk ass bitch, I went my usual 24 hours before saying fuck it and grabbing another can from the gas station.

2. Why did it happen? It happened because I am not capable of beating this addiction on my own. I recognize I am an addict and I would prefer to keep my brain happy and die sooner rather than suffer through hell, though I am at fault for the hell I must suffer to beat this addiction.

3. What am I going to do differently this time? This time I am going to join a site called Kill The Can. They use an accountibilty system via a roll call to quit. There is almost 30,000 quitters on that site, and I wil be able to get advice on how to keep going from them. I am going to see how active I can be on the site, because I think that can and will help me quit.

This time, I am gonna get the massive amount of seeds, gum, mints, toothpicks, and whatever else I can jam in my mouth to quit. I am going to exercise when I can to help deal with my rage.

Thank you TJ. I am doing my best.
Congrats! 'wave'

We celebrate 100 days because it is a nice round number and reaching it shows a real commitment to quitting. There isn't a finish line here. Stay active and stay quit! Too simple! :)
