I quit 20 days ago new to ktc

[pab1964]

Day 85,
All is going good. I had a bad cave dream a few days ago but I woke up knowing that I was still quit and still strong. I've been busy lately so I haven't had a lot of free time. I'm going to my friends party tonight and it's going to be a blast. People will be dipping and smoking but I won't be. Quit on my friends.

I've got a story for you!

Tonight my wife and I went shopping at a really really nice indoor shopping mall. This place looks like a Christmas explosion happened. Multistory tall wreaths, a big inflatable snow globe you can go in for pictures, all kinds of stupid. There were families with strollers. The women all looked like they were in heaven. The kids eyes didn't know where to stop. Most of the men were even having fun - because their families sure as heck were. Except...

There was this young family - I'm guessing mid 20s. One little boy around three that had arms and legs moving in all directions. Another boy probably around 6. The lady was trying to get them arranged in front of a wreath to get a family picture. The kids were being kids - lots of visual stimulation there and they were hard to corral. The dad was PISSED and was screaming at both kids and her. Loud enough that people were looking at him. He had some serious rage.

The woman was trying hard to get her family arranged. He wasn't helping at all. Yelling, but just standing there. My wife was in a store spending money on something she didn't need, and I just stood there taking it all in...and then, GB, as she is trying to arrange her 2 little boys just so in order to ask a stranger to take a picture of her family to tuck in her Christmas cards next week, this jackass husband pulls out a ton of Copenhagen and shoves his lip full. She ssid "what are you doing, we are getting a family picture for Christmas"? And he screamed "I having a goddamn dip, it is none of your business! These kids are driving me crazy! Let's get this stupid picture done so I can go home." The picture wasn't taken. She corralled the kids and I saw them moving toward the exit escalator. And she was dabbing her eyes when the husband wasn't looking. Which was the whole time... Because he was in his own selfish little world.

You won't be that guy. A lot of us were. But not you.

Proud to quit with you today.

Man. I never got this bad, but I wasn't far off. I'm proud as hell that I am no longer close to this. I am an addict but I am clean. I will never again be selfish enough to fill my lip up at the expense of my family. Love this story W2W, even if I feel badly for this family. I am no longer "that guy".

Damn! I'm sure most of us aren't that blatantly disrespectful, but how many times have we put the Nic Bitch ahead of our loved ones? I'm ashamed of all the times I choose Nic over my wife. For 320 days I've had the pleasure of reevaluating my priorities. Thankfully the Nic Bitch isn't on my list. Freedom really is worth any momentary discomfort quitting causes. This is our lives after all.

GB don't slow down my friend! You're winning this time!

Day 70,

Friends are actually starting to accept the fact that I'm quitting. Tonight I didn't get asked to have a dip or cigarette. It feels great to know my friends support my quit.

-gb321

Your friends tripped you up the last time right gb321? If they ever offer you a can or a cigarette just drop it on the floor and step on it!. B)B

I'm glad to see you succeeding in our December 15 group. Shortly we will be into our Hall of Fame month. That will be a reflection back on the 100 days each of us has accomplished. But it is just a milestone, you still need to be on our roll EDD.

I quit with you today!

I quit with you as well my friend. I get offered a lot and people smoke and dip around me a lot. I have to stand away when they do it because it disgusts me. All I can say is I'm glad to be quit.

December is a bad ass group. You've had a bumpy ride, GB, but you are also in shoes a lot younger than the ones many of us have on. I would do anything to travel back in time and smack the smart ass GB aged worktowin around s few times before he bought those 9,000 cans of Kodiak. I wish I were as smart as you, but I'll just say this ... You inspire me. I'm watching you quit the right way.

Day 63,

Haven't updated in like 2 weeks. Anyways, it's going really well for the most part. No craves at all, never think about it. Two of my friends are now trying to quit too which makes it a little easier. One is doing the cold turkey no nicotine at all, the other bought a vape which is nicotine but not tobacco, it sucks but it's almost a start in his mind. I'm personally against it because I have to stand 10 feet away from him so I don't have his Vape smoke or whatever you want to call it blowing in my face. I found out last week that my uncles father (not grandfather, other side of the family) was diagnosed with cancer. It is stage 4 and he has about 2 years left. This made me upset because even though I don't see him often, he is a wonderful guy to have a conversation with. He quit smoking a while back and I believe that may have something to do with it. I hate smokers, why do it man? Not only does it hurt you, it affects everyone around you too. Whenever someone smokes and I come across them, I hold my breath until I'm far enough away that I can breath without inhaling the taste of chemicals. Secondhand smoke is nasty, one of my biggest pet peaves. Anyways quit on my friends! - gb321

Quit on GB321. I'm quit with you today.

Vaping is a joke. It is not possible to look like a bigger douchebag than to have a big vape thing hanging out of your mouth.

Unless, of course, you have tobacco spit all over your clothes.

A lot of people are watching you. A lot of people are watching your quit with a guarded eye. Keep posting those days. Keep winning. And avoid loser douchebags.

Keep it up GB, you make your life what you want.

Thanks all,

I will be ordering more grinds this week. Until then I'm going cold turkey, I'll make it, I know I will. I have reached out and gotten help from my parents which is amazing. They understand and are helping me. Not telling them was a big mistake last time.

Carry on, stay quit, go Patriots!
