Ahhhh, a good day!

Did we put men on the moon by a bunch of guys sitting around NASA saying, “Well, we could try, but I don’t know.”  Fuck no...Who’s with me?

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??? 'archer'

I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture on someones part...

Mr. Blutarski....ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go thru college son...

Ahhhh, I LOVE that movie. I had a buddy in college that was a Mr. Blutarski one semester. He actually made a 0.00....he also did a few other things like got a chick pregnant, picked up the clap and crabs. Quite a semester for him.

I think you have a buddy on KTC that did it as well.

Now I can walk through walls and my quit can talk to god. That's right. Crazy voodoo magic quit.

That's some wicked righteous crazy shit right there - I want to see that light.

I like me some crazy voodoo magic quit!

When I first quit and I came in here with a superfied-swollen-vagina like attitude, NOLAQ was the first person to put a boot in my ass. He's wise.

Now I can walk through walls and my quit can talk to god. That's right. Crazy voodoo magic quit.

Nice work AG. Keep fighting.

[AgLawyer]

NOLAQ posted something today that really fired me up. I like to use this page as somewhat of a personal blog so that I can go back and periodically review my "quit journey" and as such, I want to be able to find this so I'm copying here. Just want to make sure HE gets the credit for these fine words. Well done, NOLAQ!

High Expectations

What has mediocrity every produced? What has ‘giving it your best shot’ but falling short ever accomplished?

Did we put men on the moon by a bunch of guys sitting around NASA saying, “Well, we could try, but I don’t know.” Fuck no.

High expectations wield high results. Here, at KTC we have Higher Expectations of you than you have of yourself.

If you’ve ever competed for anything in your life (sports championship, job, etc) and WON, then you know what I’m talking about. If you went into your job interview and sat down and said, “Well sir, I’m pretty much average at everything I do”, and then were SHOCKED you didn’t get the job, you don’t know what I’m talking about.

If you have kids and praise them when they get a C in classÂ…stop reading now.

Ok, enough analogies. You get my point? Good.

Now apply that to your quit. EXPECT success. No, Let me re-phrase – DEMAND success. Why? Cuz we’re going to EXPECT and DEMAND it from you. We are not fucking around here. I DEMAND success from myself. I EXPECT success from my quit. When we see re-treads come in, it is obvious that they were not holding themselves to as high a standard as we demand here.

We are COMMITTED to Excellence at KTC as far as I can see, and I will NOT settle for mediocrity, attempts, or anything less than 100% success.

WhoÂ’s with me?

Day 88

Just a comment - something from church this morning. The sermon series deals with these qualities and characteristics we should strive for. Today there was a discussion regarding "self-control". I think it applies here in our quit...the verse was as follows:

"It teaches us to say "no" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age." Titus 2:12 NIV84

Anyway, it reminded me of the self-discipline and self-control we must exhibit here to dismiss the craves. Use it as you will. Part of me wanted to post to also memorialize for myself as a reminder since I like to thumb thru my Intro page.

Happy quitting...

Day 87

Just a quick comment - reason #1,983,403 to quit dipping...

So I get regular check-ups at the doc which includes lab work to check for cholesterol and shit like that.  I have had these jacked up elevated liver enzymes and such.  Anyway, this week had first check-up since being nicotine free and labs came back normal in that regard.  So, my point is (for anyone out there who happens to read my nonsense) that there are an innumerable number of reasons to quit dipping!

As an aside, I did gain a freshman 10 since the last visit but the doc gave me a pass since he was proud of me for being quit FINALLY after his yearly nagging - I pointed out that his nagging was not the reason I was able to quit though.

Anyway, bidding you a happy and nicotine free weekend!

That is Awesome and encouraging. i am on Day 5. Cant wait till I am on 87! Way to GO!!!!!!!!!

Clint:

Stay the course man - I was on Day 5 yesterday it seems. 87 isn't much compared to most of the guys here but one thing I can tell you is that it gets MUCH easier the further away you get from those first few days. At 5 you are pretty much to a point where the addiction is almost exclusively mental. Well done, man.

Bullshit.

5 days is tremendous as is 87. Day 1 is tremendous. You bastards have nut sack. You bastards have a will to live. The moment you actualized this by saying "I QUIT" you became different men. You put your foot down to take control of your lives.

I quit with both you two nightmares of the nic bitch. She's haunted by your power while I feed on it.

I have lowered my blood preasure which was borderline prior to my quit--now it is normal. The benefits keep mounting up!


Ag great job on 87--let he countdown begin to HOF!

Clint-- 5 days is a great foundation--one day at a time and HOF will be here before you know it.


Ag I enjoy this thread and so do the newbs---kepp writing. I wish everyone would keep a quit journal thread. When I first came to this site, I read through the intro threads like every day. This thread will help Newbs for years to come!


Peace Out

Day 82

The days sure do fly by. Last time I posted in here was 8 day ago at Day 74. I know, some are probably thinking, "Ag, please, you're a fucking post whore" - HA...well yes, I am, I kinda enjoy being addicted to posting on KTC...besides, it is quite therapeutic and I feel that it has actually helped me transition that much easier from a Grizzly-can-a-day little whore to a hardcore motivated quitter. And I AM fucking motivated about it - at this point I just cannot believe I was such a bitch to it. I'm disgusted with the "old me" and guaran-motherfucking-tee I ain't going back.

...Anyway...I know that time is your friend when it comes to battling this addiction and those with many more days are beating it on a level beyond me but I, too, feel that I am so done.

If any newbies read this, understand this that it gets better and I notice it every step of the way. Day 74 was so much better than day 50. Now at day 82, it is so much better than day 74. In fact, on day 80 I realized at the end of the day that I didn't even have a craving! It was a day spent with my son at a college football game and then a few hours on the road home, the whole time talking and just having a real good time - point is, I was kept busy and it just didn't cross my mind.

I know at this relatively early point that these "crave-less" days are an anomaly (even had a little bitty bullshit crave already this morning) but they are proof positive that my mind is conditioning to be "dip-less".

I love Mondays and love being QUIT on Day 82! Yeah, I'm gonna kick nic's ass today, just like yesterday. 'tough'

Hey Newbs,

A fine example of a very strong QUIT. Pay attention!
