Day 212

So since I'm QUIT for good (well, at least today) and have worked on a healthier non-nicotine me, I figured I would take care of another nicotine-using issue -- stained teeth.  Chewing does a hell of a job tanning up the teeth.  So I go in this morning to the dentist and have this teeth whitening procedure done called "Zoom!"  Well, I can see the difference for sure but DAMN, it was 2 hours in the chair and now my teeth hurt like shit (VERY sensitive).  I went to lunch and couldn't even eat this damn salad cause the lettuce was too cold! Hoping this shit goes away soon. 

Anyway, good problem to have...sore teeth.  Cause only have the sore teeth cause had the whitening procedure since I'm QUIT.
Don't sweat it. It will go away. Your teeth are dehydrated from the procedure and will be sensitive for a period of time. You'll be fine in a day or so.

Congrats. nice way to reward yourself. i did that as well
Whew, it DID go away by the next day. Thank goodness.

Day 196

So I'm sitting in a deposition (as I type) with a whole bunch of attorneys in the room.  I notice this one dude across the room with a fatty in trying to be discreet when he spits.  I email him with the number "196" in the subject line and in the body I just put "Days of Freedom without that shit in my mouth".  He was confused by the message I guess because he walks over to me with his can to hand to me, assuming I guess that I was asking to bum one, ha.  Funny.  I just told him to go back and read the email again because he misunderstood.  Freedom IS a good thing.  Even when he extended his hand to me with that can of crap I didn't feel even the slightest desire for it.  So glad I do not look like a moron in the corner spitting in a cup.
That, my friend, is how you kick nic in the ass. Well done! Hard to believe we were ever that stupid, isn't it?
:) I am glad you are here. Freedom is the shit.
Good for you broski. Good for you.

Early congrats on the second floor. OL LOOT'll may the trek down the stairs and straighten the place up a bit for you.

Now...be ready for another round of funk at about 250. It will only last for a week to 10 days or so. It will pass. They always do. Forewarned is foreskinned.

Again...early congrats on 200. Well done.
Oh no, someone mentioned a funk around fAglawyer.

I hear you man. I used to be that dumbass spitting in a coffee cup and thinking no one knew.
Thanks for the early congrats - yeah, I CANNOT believe I'm almost to 200. Insane. Freedom is da shit!

Ha, gmann...as a ninja though, I would just run to the car and pop one in during a break for like 5 minutes.

Right on AG. Feels good to see that may be our mentality of "awakening" from the lies of nicotine use exists in the masses.

Good luck on the eulogy. I've given a handful in my time. I take the approach of start them laughing but leave them crying to bring across the joy they brought into the world for everyone and the joy they brought to me specifically.

Day 172

The days sure do fly by. Nothing profound to report here but for the fact it has been a couple of weeks and figured I'd check in to my little corner of KTC. One thing that does pop in my head on occasion is when I read Introduction posts from some newbies who fill the page with motivation about how they are QUIT and plan to embrace this community.........................then, they disappear.

If only they knew what we know. That freedom is a wonderful thing and that they, too, can have it. All it takes is a promise (and a little bit of testicle fortitude).

As an aside, my wife's grandmother passed away yesterday at the old age of 91. Bless her soul, she lived a grand life and was a special lady. Anyway, I was nominated by the family to deliver the eulogy so I've been sifting thru photographs and such and I can't help but always notice the nicotine users from the old days. These days you don't see as many people flaunting the cigarettes in photos (except maybe at a bar) but in these pictures from the 40's, 50's, 60's you can't find a picture without someone holding a cancer stick (including my wife's grandfather, who died of lung cancer at the age of 56).

Anyway, enough of my ramblings. I shall quit with ALL of you.
