So just rolled into Houston for a couple of days of business here and in Beaumont and I'm a tad early for a meeting so figure I'd pop in on the iPhone and re-affirm my quit. This is now my third road trip since my quit and I have to say it is nice rolling in being nic-free. No more scrambling to find somewhere to dump the spit cans and no more straining in the mirror trying to floss out the tobacco before meeting my client. I stopped at Bucees on the highway and while checking out I glared at the cans of Grizzly, stocked and stacked ready for their new home with the next addict who stops in for a can. The last couple of trips I verbalized my disdain toward Grizzly. This time I just glared. My business partner is with me and he said, "damn, I saw you staring at it...must be hard." I said, "nah, she just isn't worth my time anymore - I was staring at it to show it that I'm strong and have no desire for it." Yeah, corny - but in my little mind it helps me defeat the mind games and mindfuck. Chalk up another win for AgLawyer.
Freedom is a great thing.
At day 84 for me, the taste of freedom is as sweet and beautiful as it was on day 7. Freedom is an amazing thing and we deprived ourselves from it for so long. No more slave, no more hiding. I'll take a large order of Freedom today with you, Ag.
I'm in, Denney. On second thought, let's super size it.
Count me in Denny and AG. Triple super-size it. Freedom is priceless.

Ha, that's great AG. No I hadn't heard that but I love it. Thanks for posting.
Thanks, man. Any bit of motivational help is good for my quit and CONTINUED quit. However, the boat burned so no turning back now! Freaking love that story. I'm gonna use it to motivate my kiddos.

Thanks to Ready and redyota for telling me about a story called Burn Your Boat....fitting for many aspects of life, and especially fitting for what we are doing here, being quit with no chance of turning back to cave to the nicotine beast in our heads. Finally picked an avatar and found a picture of a burning boat which can signify my inability (even if I ever thought I wanted) to return to using nicotine.

Sporting XXX today - nice little even number for a weak chump like me. Ordered a couple of KTC wristbands and just came in a few minutes ago so on the wrist as a constant reminder and to further aid my mental push toward the daily QUIT.
