What I'm Thankful For

So with my wedding coming up there are several things I'm thankful for now that I'm quit.

- I don't have to dodge the camera on my bachelor party/fishing trip b/c I don't want to have a picture taken of me with a turd in my mouth.

- I don't have to plan the events of my wedding day and reception around when I'm going to sneak in a dip. No leaving the party to put a fatty in for 10 minutes around the corner.

- I don't have to pack 5+ cans of cancer for my week long honeymoon in Jamaica. I also don't have to worry about having the TSA search my bags and pull out all those can in front of a crowd of disgusted onlookers.

- Finally I don't have to worry about where I'm going to get dip in another country if I happen to run out, which would turn into me freaking out, getting irritable and ruining our honeymoon more than likely.

Thank God I'm Free!!
Good post man. I don't think people realize how much their life is affected by this crap until they are QUIT

This place is so boring in the morning!

Everyone posting roll. No arguments to enjoy. BORING!

Where's the action??

span style='font-family:Optima'Not all Blahs are dip related/span

Every bad mood or general hazy blah feeling is not necessarily dip related.

Today I'm feeling extremely shitty. The blahs have me. But I know they aren't dip related, I can feel it. They are just the general blahs that all of us feel from time to time as normal human beings.

I think it's important to recognize the difference. For some reason. I don't know, today sucks and needs to end.

Fuck it.

FYI

So I listen to podcasts and other crap throughout my work day normally. I like good talk radio. So I thought I would throw out my top 3 radio programs I listen to just incase any of you are looking for something to listen to.

1. Howard Stern - SiriusXM (or you can find places to download it for free) - He's barely on anymore but his show is still the best out there.

2. Dan Patrick Show - FM Radio, stream from his website, or podcast - IMO the best sports radio show available by far. Excellent entertainment.

3. Stuff You Should Know - Podcast - Just a really interesting podcast if you like to keep on learning yet still be entertained. I downloaded the last 4 years of it back in January and am still a year away from being caught up.

So that's the jjprice Top 3 Playlist!

Listen here fucksticks. I have a little something to say about making that little extra promise of 200, 300, 400, and so on.

It's true, all that is asked here is to make a daily promise and to keep that promise. That's it. But those two things are wrapped in the greater idea of ACCOUNTABILITY.

The more accountability, the stronger the quit. That's why I choose to let 15 assholes flood my inbox with nonsense and pictures of tonka trucks mining vaginas. That's also why I made the more overarching promise of 200 days to add to my daily promise of quit. ACCOUNTABILITY.

Now, onto the subject of life after 100. A lot of people seem to think it's ok to leave after day 100. Some are even claiming that it may be better for their quit! Crazy right!

Now in my early days of quit (first month) I didn't come on here every day, I wanted to block dipping from my mind completely and obviously being on here would be counter to that. That was a dangerous move on my part, however I feel it would be even more dangerous now. If I don't come here every day and post roll I could easily slip into the mind set that 'hey I've got this' which morphs into 'I'm not an addict' which eventually mutates into the devil spawn of 'I can have just one.'

At this point it would be easy to say 'I don't need the site anymore.' Afterall, I don't have physical craves, it's all mental. In fact I can't remember my last crave that laster over 5 minutes. But the craves are there.

Even those of you with 1000 days know what I'm talking about. You're standing there at the counter of your local convenience store. Picking up your special ordered extra large magnum condums with triple reservoir tip. You glance over the shoulder of the cashier who's been undressing you with her eyes and see that row of cans. Just looking to see if they still carry your particular brand. You see it and you're mind pauses for a minute or two. It happens to all of us.

Now what happens next depends on the person.

For me, my next thought is 'what kind of fucking hell would I have to go through if I took a dip and didn't post roll tomorrow.' Notice that I didn't say what kind of hell would I get if I posted a day 1, I'm just talking about the hell I would get from not posting at all!

For some, the next thought might be 'fuck it, I can have just one.' Nothing to be accountable for and no one to be accountable too.

Now I'm not saying hang out here all day. I understand needing a break. But all I ask is that you come once a day. Post. Keep your promise. Come back tomorrow.

How hard is that.

That's all I got for now mfers!
Good stuff.

Another thing to consider is one needs to be here to help the quitter that shows up next month. Volunteering to help new quitters strengthens your quit and give purpose to your life.
Seriously, I am addicted to this place. I love it. You all have taught me so much.

There may be some dysfunction but I lean to this site for more than my quit. Yes I post roll, yes I am a posting whore. I love to read intros and make a comment. I love to share thought and read comments.

I just feel like we are a team working for individual quits. Takes me back to my wrestling days. Your matches where individual but your personal victories contributed to your team. So you gave everything you had. Every insight and every move to help everyone win. Then each person had to go on the matt and battle on their own.

JJPrice: Don't know you from Adam but props to your statement. Also, Thank you for this...."Listen here fucksticks" and "That's why I choose to let 15 assholes flood my inbox with nonsense and pictures of tonka trucks mining vaginas."

'crackup' 'crackup' 'crackup'

This is a fun show. 'Popcorn' You have the plot, side plots the conflicts, victories and reslove. This place beats reality TV anyday.

LOVE BEING QUIT. PART OF WHY I WONT CAVE is becacause of all you Fucktards!!! 'crackup'
Quit And Be Free

There are tons of examples on this board of people who "had this"

It is really very simple for me. I have yet to see one person who posts regularly cave. Hasn't happened. I have seen many that wander from the site and post another 1.

We will always be addicts. The second any of us forget that we are fucked.

So no morning wood today. Does that mean I'm getting older?
Maybe.....or your dick is already practicing for married life.

'crackup'
My dick is really smart.

My dick is the Einstein of dicks. Very smart with crazy hair.
So.....your dick has a moustache and failed math in primary school?
Yes, and it was a patent clerk.
My ex-girlfriend's grandfather once told us a story about how he nearly ran over Einstein with a single horse drawn buggy while riding around Princeton's campus back in the 1930's or 40's. According to John, it was a snowy morning and Einstein was walking with his hands clasped behind his back obviously deep in thought. John had to rear back the reins and barely missed running him over. The most interesting part of the story was that Einstein never once looked up or broke his stride. Dude was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice he was about to get trampled by a horse. True story.....or so I was told.
Same thing happened to my dick.

Cool story though. He would be a rock star today, though from what I've read and seen he was back then too.
