Day 39 – The quit seems to be on cruise control. All the days seem to be good days with very little infrequent naggings from the nic bitch. I wrote this in a text earlier today but it defiantly sums up how I have felt lately,
Quote
The grass is way greener on the quit side of the fence.
Can I just say quitting chew has been fucking awesome! Good riddance forever nicotine, I do not miss you!


Quit Perspective
The past couple of days I have been thinking about Quit Perspective. This is something that can literally change your quit. For me Quit Perspective is something like this:

If someone says, “Hey Asshole, grow some balls and quit.” You can perceive that statement in a couple of different ways.

There is the person who is looking for any open door to cave and can choose this opportunity to be offended and return to his poison treatments.

Or there is the person who knows while quitting we all become assholes sometimes [or if you are using then you are literally an asshole cause you have shit in your mouth] and it definitely takes someone who is mentally and physically tough to protect their quit (i.e. “balls”). I guess that person would take the opportunity to say, "Thank You!” to the KTC brother or sister who at least took some time for you.

To all my new brothers  sisters here at KTC, I hope you assholes grow some balls and quit.

Day 30 – 3rd step up from hell. One of the many benefits to this site is that we are all climbing away from our former user selves and the battles and demons that I fight have been and are being beaten down and conquered by other KTC warriors. Sometimes my addicted self would have me believe that my battles are worse or easier and that I am alone in this fight. Well, that’s not true and I know that is some sub-conscience bullshit which my addicted self is using to throw me off my quit game. Well, I will not be thrown from my quit.
Thats some solid determination there. Keep it up for when shit hits the fan later.

way to keep the determination man keep the quit going
You've got it, the mind games are the bitches last ditch effort to fight her way back.

Day 23 – I’m in Denver pretty excited to see the game. I am more excited that I’ll be doing it without nicotine. Win, loose, or draw for the Broncos, I still get the win. On a side note, I want to make sure to thank everyone in my accountability network especially my wife. You are a bunch of badasses and quitting with you makes me also feel like as badass. Thank You.
Bravo sir, and keep up the great work.

I'm still bitter about the 80s so I won't be rooting for he broncos today (browns fan).

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Great job on your quit ihc.

The fog is back with some really strong craves.


Your going to have some good days and bad. Some days your going to feel like you got this. Some days your going to wonder why the world is spinning backwards. Keep pressing forward. The good days will become more frequent and the bad days will decrease. You've come to far now. Might as well get to that next door.

276 days quit and i can tell you first hand, life is so much better without the poison. As I write these words on your intro I thank myself for enduring everything I went through in the early days. It was so worth it! Thanks ktc for showing me a way better life. Quit with you today.

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.
