Day +1

I often think of something I seen early in my quit.  It's a short story, but it really is something that stuck with me after I seen it.  I believe it will help everyone's quit today that reads it.

I had just got done watching my girls volleyball game.  Real good game.  Went the distance, which took about 2 hours, or maybe more.  I was real early in my quit and having a rough time with craves and everything else we have to deal with early in our quits.   

As I walked out I was in back of an elderly couple (70's, possibibly 80's).  I hear them bickering back and forth and then I couldn't believe what I heard.  The woman stated you'll be to the truck fast enough so you can get your dip.  Then I heard the elderly man state I sat there for over two hours,,,  I need a dip.

I began to wonder who he was watching at the game.  Possibly his grand-daughter would be my best guess.  Then I thought.  what lucky grand-daughter had this man as her grand-dad.  I wondered how much of the game he enjoyed before the poison got his attention off of it and his granddaughter.  It was apparent that at the end of the game he didn't care what the score was, how good his grand-daughter played.  He apparently didn't care if his wife enjoyed the game.  He didn't care about anything or anyone at the moment.  He only cared about on thing.  His one true love,,  the POISON.  HOW SAD!!!  Lets stay quit today.  Lets enjoy life and what it has to offer.  Screw the poison!!!!
Good read for me this morning. I haven't had too hard of a time lately but today has started out rough. I feel like I'm back at day one suddenly! I have and know my tools, so I am much better equipped then I was on day one, But it's good to reflect on what we went through in the beginning, I think I'm entering the Funk I've been warned about!
Good read SRANS, I can remember my sons in full jabber in the back seat of my truck talking to me and I had checked out waiting for the poison to hit my veins n I could get my cells to stop screaming at me to poison up before we really start screaming. New found freedom rocks one less damn thing to round up in the morning when I am racing out the door....or if I was hiding it in my truck to get my am fix....less forgetful of shit I need for the day.
Complacency sucks, one moment of it is the difference between being a user and a quitter....OIB

That is awesome- and spot on. I think about how many times I ended social visits earlier than what my wife wanted because I needed to get home to my bitch. Loving the new found freedom.

thanks Srans- QLF

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

day 143. 

We've had a couple days now with out someone coming on and admitting a cave.  I know the day is not over, but so far so good. 

I say that to say this. When I came to ktc I had already tried on my own several times to quit without success.  I believe most come here because of the same reason.  This addiction is no joke!  It must be taken seriously or it will not take you serious.  I read, learned and payed attention.  I knew I didn't know how to quit.  I had already proven that over and over.  

When I joined I reeeeeellly waaannntted to QUIT.  I stumbled onto ktc by divine intervention, luck whatever you want to call it.  Now there are a lot of things I've learned with ktc.  This is one I want to share that some may need to really pay attention to and learn.     

POST ROLL AND KEEP YOUR WORD!! 

You want to STAY QUIT for today, then follow this rule.  Enough excuses!!! Enough letting the poison get back in!!!!    Enough!!!!!  The poison isn't going to just give you your life back,,,  You have to TAKE IT!!!!  Quit on brothers and sisters.
Well said brother! Well....said...
Amen! Some people act like being quit is a free gift they get by joining this site! Fuck no! It's a reward we get after fighting like hell for it every day! In the words of a wise man..... You got to HATE the poison!
Very goo stuff right here !!
#1 weapon in the arsenal of quit is posting roll for sure! Not easy, but simple.

Well the update on my friend is not a good one.  Tests have confirmed cancer in the throat.  He has had a feeding tube inserted and the diagnosis is he has a year at best.  This has been crushing news for family and friends.   

His background was smoking and dipping.  He quit years ago, but I don't know how many.  I would guess 5, probably not even close.  It don't matter, he smoked and dipped for years.   

I told you of my mother in law who died of lung cancer and another family friend who died of throat cancer. Both of them smoked for years.  Mother in law quit a few years before her death, but same thing applies.  She smoked for years. 

For those of you that have never read my signature line read it now.  All of this is why it's there.  Don't ever let the poison fool you.  It causes cancer, bottom line. Don't tell me it don't, I will give you an ear full of truth.  I will not sugar coat it.  The poison will kill you, don't think it won't.  It does only one thing well,,,,,    TAKE!!! 

Say it with me now,,,,,,,    I HATE THE POISON!!  Glat to be quit with all of you poison haters.
I am very sorry about your friend srans.

I am hating the poison right beside you today. Fuck dip, fuck smoking, fuck NRT, fuck e-cig water vapor bullshit, fuck Phillip Morris and big tobacco, fuck em all.

Quit with you all day man!!
Sorry 2 hear about that diagnosis. I am hating that poison with u today. I am standing by u in this quit brother. Stay strong.
A good hatred for UST and the products they sell will help you often in your quit. I despise everything about them all... It is indeed and evil weed.

STAY QUIT
Greg
As loud as I can scream I say with Srans " I HATE THE POISON glad to be quit with all u poison haters"!!!
sorry about your friend.. it brings the realism to all of this. the choices we make have consequences. I choose to be quit with all of you, and yes, I hate the poison..
I F'ing HATE the poison! My deepest sympathies. Your friend and his family are in my prayers. Nice selective war on drugs America!
