So here's the deal KTC family...there is about the be a new addition to my actual family! Thats right, i knocked up mrs. jayd41 again...That makes two for us and 4 for me all together.  We are 10 weeks in confirmed today and that would mean that puts the due date right around the first of November.  So why am i telling you all this...well partly to brag...i'm a proud papa.  And the other is to tell you that there are many excuses to dip...excuses and reasons are two different things....i had every excuse in the book and i normally rationalized those excuses to continue to abuse nicotine.  And although i am overly excited to be a dad again i can tell you that this would have been another excuse to continue using for another 26-30 weeks...all of the other parents on this site can attest that being a parent while being the most fulfilling thing you can do, can also be the most stressful thing to do...especially to prepare for! Spouses get hormonal and you are wrong if you say the sky is blue some days...nerves are frayed just a bit especially as the end of the pregnancy gets near...and last time around we got to throw in colic baby with asthma which was just super!  Anyhow...all of that is many excuses to cave and go back to dipping and/or smoking...but for today, that little peanut growing inside my wonderful wife...is my reason to stay quit...tomorrow i'll get back to quitting for me.  There is always an EXCUSE to use, there is never a REASON.  There is never an EXCUSE to quit...but only a REASON.  if that makes any sense.
That's awesome, man. Congrats!
Congratulations jayd!!!
Keep it in your pants....... Congrats bro. This child will never see you with a dip in. Good thought huh?
hahaha....i will NOT keep it in my pants...well at least with my wife...other places i will...and thanks! It will be fun going through it all completely nic free!
Congratulations jayd41!
Life is gooder without the poison...ODAAT and NAFAR

Congrats Dude, my youngest just turned 11. I miss those days.

If you live below the Mason Dixon line you wouldn't understand my excitement for this weekend...this is the first weekend up here that it has been over 60 degrees! Planning on playing golf Saturday and Sunday and actually pretty jacked to do that nic free! Going to cook some pig on the grill and have some cold beer and maybe mix in a little rum. Can't fucking wait! Normally i'm excited for this kind of weather but this year i'm on overdrive because i get to enjoy it without the nic bitch hanging around! Quit on fellas and ladies
Boy I sure could use a beer right about now!

Nice work. I have some cans of hooch on hand just in case shit gets hairy. I don't use it but just in case. Keep the focus on your quit. Pm me if you need someone to help you eat drywall. It's better than stuffing dogshit in your mouth!
20 days.... damn bro! You are doing it and doing it well. Seems like only yesterday I was afraid you were going to cyber fight the world. Now I see positive reports every time I see your posts. Keep going. This is why you quit!

Just read an awesome quote by Coach K on twitter---"Mental toughness can take you straight to the top, and mental weakness can take you straight to the bottom." We own our quits.  That's mental toughness.
Hmmmmm, great thought, since quitting is all mental after 3 days I have to agree this aplies to us. Thanks for sharing Jayd
Mental toughness becomes easier as we focus on the right things in our quit. Post roll, honor your word. Watch your mental toughness grow.
