I am 10 days in

[Mike from AB]

Awesome congrats on day 86!

[CaliforniaSlim]

Day 86- So I am all moved up to the San Francisco bay area, and have started working at my new firm- so far, so good.
Two quit related items from yesterday- First, I was finally setting up my computer at home. I took a blow-dryer to the keyboard to clean it out... Holy crap!!. About a half a can of dried up nasty chew I had spilled on it over the years came flying out. I was starting to forget just how disgusting it was to have that crap everywhere.

Second, I took my son to the movies. I realized, it was one major trigger I hadn't run into in my quit yet. Back in the day (86 days actually) I would obsess over making sure I had a can and a soda cup before watching a movie. This time, as we were on our way out the door, I had to utter a few audible "Hell no, I aint dipping today"s to knock some sense into myself. Pulled out my phone to text Derk40, but felt on solid ground so I put it back. It was the first time in a while that I had what could be called a craving. I am kind of happy about it. It feels good to know that my nic-slaying sword is still sharp. Of course, I enjoyed the dip free movie (as much as one can enjoy Riddick) and the thoughts never came back.

Today I am quit with everyone who doesn't dip at the movies anymore.

Day 59 ramblings,
Moving to Northern California at the end of the month. Cleaning the garage and tossing stuff. Found an old humidor with a few cubans in it I had boxed up.   Tossed them with the rest of the junk in that box.  I thought,  oh well, guess I can't smoke cigars ever again.   Never did much anyway, but the important part, was that was all there was to it.  No great crave, no dilemma, no sadness,  just a realization.
I take that two ways.... first, I take it as a sign that my quit is strong.
  Second,  I take it as a sign that the nic-bitch is trying to lull me complacency, and to fight that I need to get on KTC and read and post.  So, here I have been.

my humidor is now used to keep my broad heads and hunting licenses I would say it is now a cedar lined momento box.

Strong work keep up the quit

I love how you call that "day 59 ramblings"... Awesome bro! Way to execute your quit plan. I love the fact that you know what has to be done and are not turning back. You wake in the morning... got to post roll. Just the way it is now. You find a box of cubans... oh well, can't smoke cigars anymore so I am dumping this now. Thoughts of complacency... go to KTC site and regain my focus. That is how you roll!

Slim... You are slaying this quit ODAAT  I am really enjoying being quit with you brother!

You got some sharp assed quit tools Slim! By the book nic bitch beatdowns are now second nature for you, and then you get on the KTC website to do some quit push-ups! Well played sir.

Not sure where to post this, so, I will just put it here on my intro. This is either going to be a pep-rally or bitch session... we will see how it plays out.

When I get on this site, and take a look at the new intros I often see a newbie who has just quit and made their first post. Some will have 10+ views without anyone popping up to say "Welcome" or "Glad to be quit with you"

It isn't that hard to do. You don't need to be a HOFer to offer some advice and welcome someone. I think newbies appreciate people who have quit numbers within their sight. I did. We were all a little unsure and alone when we started this journey. Remember how it felt when people actually responded to you? Let's pay this site back a little bit for what it has given us. If you are on here anyway, just post a response. It will help their quit, as well as your own. That much I know.

Rant over... continue with life... Stay quit

Well said and kudos for having the gumption to point it out.

I think that is a rightful bitch session. I really did appreciate anyone really posting on my intro and still it motivates my quit when I welcome a new member.

Today is Day 45.  I haven't had the chance to be on this site as much as I like to be.   I still make sure to keep reading this KTC quitopedia on my phone when I am in line, or have a few minutes.

Never too busy to post roll though, that is like brushing teeth in the morning.  One just does it.  100% and proud. 

Drove up to Northern California this weekend with my wife.  I got a good job offer up there, so we will be moving the family.  The important part, is that I used to make that drive fairly often with a turd-lip.  Not this time, or ever again.  Had seeds at the ready and all mind-prepped to fight a crave battle that never came.  I know that when I am prepared for battle, nic thinks twice about coming at me.  I try not to give the bitch the chance for an ambush.

Shook my head at the guy in front of me at the gas station who was upset that they didn't have long cut and was making the clerk go through all the cans to find some form of death he liked more than the next.  Just 45 days ago I was him exactly.  The control that crap had-sheesh.  It seems like a lifetime ago and yet, seems like yesterday.  I am never going to be that guy again. Freedom tastes too good. Quitting with all of you one damn day at a time.

Very nice update. This is so simple yet it works. Post roll. Keep your word. Repeat tomorrow.

Congrats on the new gig!

Congrats! You are owning this QUIT! Knowledge is power

Congrat on the new job! You are right on with posting roll every morning... it is something we just do. Proud to be quit with a bad man like you!

Quit on brother! Great story and keep up the success.

Keep that gaurd up Slim and the nic bitch won't dare mess with you!

Nice job slim, way to be a quitter! Keep those +1's piling up....
