Day 75... not much happened today. Saw a movie with my girls, went shopping, ate food, practiced a few new songs for recording, hopped in chat, posted a few things, posted roll and support in a couple spots, hoping to have a li'l dirty time with Mrs. Apple...

Never thought of dip once today.

Not.
Once.

Not much happened today but... it was a miraculous day.
Love you man! We shared a prefered flavor of poison, which led you to be one of the first KTC members to get into my quit (not possible without first your desire to own your own quit and get involved in others' quits'); therefore, you are one of my quit heros ( added acountability for you 'cause it would crush me if ever you cave)... I am day 33-34 right now, and have had my first day with no craves and no thoughts of dip other than my thoughts about KTC and my daily promise... Glad to see you are having some 'easy' days too. Keep it up! Looiking forward to reading your HOF speech.
AJ..it is not ghey to say I love you since I am a girl. Love your day quit with your girls. Makes me happy. :wub:
If Sage thought it sounded ghey cause I am a dude, and said "I love you man!" just remember those old bud light commercials...
Hey bro we did it 75+ days of quit proud of you leader of our group. Well hope you got to sport your quit wood today during ur naughty time.....hahaha
I had to come back and add more than just the fact that you are a total bad ass, you are a special quitter and a leader. This site works because of people like you apple. You were the first quitter to send me digits, you reach out to me often just to check on me, and you were my first call when i had my panic attack. Yes sir Mr Apple, I am an apprentice quitter to you bro!
I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.

Got a guy who works for me... He's a dumbass. I don't see him all that much... I like him but, he's a dumbass. I got a chance to work around him recently and I noticed a few things. He's a smoker of the worst sort. He's a whore for it... Will smoke anything and everything you put in front of him with perverse joy. He has a Pig-Pen like cloud of odor about him... Flavored pipe tobacco. I actually kinda dig that because it reminds me of my grandfather. Doesn't set me to craving or anything... It's a very nostalgic, homey memory. Love it... 'Nuff said.

Anyway... My worker, Dumbass, whips out a li'l e-cig dildo and starts puffing away rhapsodizing his nicotine being vaporized so he can enjoy it in "Blueberry Champagne" (gay) flavor. Pissed me off - he knows I quit. BUT... The brief thought of ingesting any form of that crap almost made me physically ill. Almost had to leave it was so intense. Also... I pitied Dumbass for his perverse joy.

I read something Morgan 1 wrote today... It resonated. BIG.
"If you understand that everything about nicotine is a lie then a 'quitting is FUN' attitude can be obtained... I quit all day everyday and I celebrate it!"

Right there... Gonna WORK on that attitude. I dig it. I wanna be there.
Amen! That's the attitude we all need to have! Quitting is hard, but it doesn't have to be torture! Embrace it! We are doing something GOOD! It's all about our mind set! Own it and Enjoy the victory! I'm "working" on having that attitude today myself!
You a li'l high strung bro? 'crackup'
I am the last few days. 'Crazy'
only the last few day? hmmm
I can related to the pleasurable association. Both of my maternal grandparents died of cancer when I was young. My grandfather when I was about three. My grandmotthrer when I was about five.

I only have one memory for each of them. Each time my grandfather lit a cigarette of cigar, maybe even his pipe, he used a Zippo lighter. That initial smell of the butane reminds me of him. Each time I smell it I think of him and wish that I got to know him. He was a butcher and had a butcher shop on the first floor of their two-flat graystone in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood. I'm sure that my passion for butchering, cooking, and for food in gerenal are from him. Too bad cancer toook him away. Too bad my mom was without both her parents for the past 35 years.

That lighter, even though it was a direct link to his death, is a pleasant memory. I don't think I romanticize the smell, but I don't want to hate it either. It's all I have of him so hating that lighter/cigar/cancer/death association would leave me with nothing.

Keep it in perspective.
I hate those damn e cigs. Even though we all used to dip, we were only hurting ourselves, not others.(unless your ex drinks your dip spit, notice the EX).Still happier then hell to never put that shit in my lip ever again. Quit on brother!
Lovin' this stuff. Ringing bells with me . quit with you all everyday as it comes...

He's a smoker of the worst sort. He's a whore for it... Will smoke anything and everything you put in front of him with perverse joy. He has a Pig-Pen like cloud of odor about him... Flavored pipe tobacco. I actually kinda dig that because it reminds me of my grandfather. Doesn't set me to craving or anything... It's a very nostalgic, homey memory. Love it... 'Nuff said.

Anyway... My worker, Dumbass, whips out a li'l e-cig dildo and starts puffing away rhapsodizing his nicotine being vaporized so he can enjoy it in "Blueberry Champagne" (gay) flavor. Pissed me off - he knows I quit. BUT... The brief thought of ingesting any form of that crap almost made me physically ill. Almost had to leave it was so intense. Also... I pitied Dumbass for his perverse joy.

I read something Morgan 1 wrote today... It resonated. BIG.
"If you understand that everything about nicotine is a lie then a 'quitting is FUN' attitude can be obtained... I quit all day everyday and I celebrate it!"

Right there... Gonna WORK on that attitude. I dig it. I wanna be there.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.
