Another story just like the others

Day 364-  Hard to believe that one year ago I was a complete mess.  I had come to the realization that I am an addict.  I could not believe that I had the ability to quit, nobody knew what it was like, chewing was different than smoking, I was different, I was special.  I now know that all of that was bullshit, all of it was addict speak.  I am an addict just like the next guy.  I had found KTC at this point but was still weary of the methods and while I am normally a truthful person, I could not believe that I would keep my word to a bunch of strangers.  What the fuck is a jackwagin?  On the 28th I would throw out the last of my chew and proceed with my quit.  I quit for the first 10 or 11 days by myself, only reading here.  I would get on here and read and read and read for hours on end.  When I finally posted roll it was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I knew I could keep my word.  It was not all roses for sure, but I made the choice everyday to not poison myself.

I would like to thank everyone that helped me through my quit, you probably have even if you don't realize it.  The vets with their words of wisdom and to all of the newbs that remind me of where I do not ever want to go again.  Embrace the suck, but damn I do not want to go back.  Proud to be quit with all of you, Proud to be a Jackwagin!

Congrats on a year JBradley, that's some impressive work!!

Some fine quitting j.... Damn glad to be quit with you....

proud to be a jackwagin with you. this past year has changed a lot of our lives one of mine is becoming friends with you.

I was in a fog 50 weeks ago, jb, and had forgotten that your first roll post was anything other than a 1. We're all a lot better off thanks to the fact that you decided to join the party. (Although it sure didn't feel like a party for the first couple months). Thank YOU for helping me over the past year.

Day 290- a few thought from my head.....

I learned last night that a quitter that I have not only been in chat with, posted support with, texted with, and met in person, caved Friday night. Thankfully this does not affect my quit and I will continue to stay the course of being free, but it does hurt on a personal level. I didn't get a phone call or a text asking for help or even just to talk. I did know something was going on but certainly did not think it would end this way. If you believe that the site works then you need to use the tools that we give you. The sooner you can admit that you are an addict the quicker life goes on.

Friday night in chat Allen Carr's EASYWAY book came up. It has been recommended around the forum several times and I have always blown it off. Well I started reading it on Friday night and read almost all day on Saturday. There is some good information in that book. I wish that I had read that 290 days earlier. It certainly helped cement my resolve that I am doing the right things and helped explain why things happen the way they happen.

That is all for now.....

Just got back from fishing and let me tell you guys, it was awesome not having to worry about my next fix.  I was worried that it would be a huge trigger for me.  It wasn't a problem.

There were a couple of users on the boat, one guy had cigs, chew, and dip going at different times through the day.  I wouldn't be surprised if he had a patch on at the same time.  But instead of being jealous of them, I felt pity for them.  I felt bad for them still shackled and chained to their master.  Still blindfolded to the truth that you do not need any of it to live a fulfilling life.

Thank you to all of you here, you have saved my life.  I am  proud to be quit with each and everyone of you.

Thank you Cmark for meeting up to have dinner and talk fishing.

Good deal jbrad. Wagin' stlye! Making us proud.

Totally awesome! And this place is part of what saved you, but you saved yourself as well, you went thru the hell of the suck and it is you every time you get a crave that choses higher ground by being a man of your word and keeping the promise of your roll post for over a hundred days. And guys like me are proud to be behind you following you to the path of freedom! Yep jbradley your a bad ass bro!

Day 271- Plan right now is to leave for San Diego on Friday early afternoon. Hopefully as soon as I get there I will be meeting Cmark for dinner. The plan after that is to hop on an overnight fishing boat and go fishing the net day. I have some major concerns about this as this will be a huge trigger for me. I know that nic can't make me catch more fish, or bigger fish, or have a good time. Just one of those things that I will have to face and conquer one minute at a time.

JB you got this have fun you always got my number to call

Been a while since I updated.....

Day 254- I had one of the most amazing things happen tonight. I went to a small quitter get together, Sage, ToeTag, and Blazer1975 were there. The amazing part was that there was no awkward moments, no weird uncomfortable silence moments. Just 4 quitters that happened to get together for some dinner and great company. I have to encourage you to join one of these get togethers when they happen in your area. These are real people that are or have gone through the same things you are. I want to thank those that came, and invite those that could not come to make the next one.

This week I took 11 Scouts to summer camp for 8 days. I can honestly say I did not miss nic at all this week. It does help that I was too busy to stop and think for 5 minutes at a time. It really was awesome and I got to see some new areas of camp, and outside of camp as well. The 11 boys that I took to camp have made memories that they will never forget, but I am the lucky one because I was there to share with them these life moments.

Thank you to those that checked in with me through the week. I did manage to post roll everyday, but had minimal cell service to get texts and emails. I had to hike a ways to get to the camp wifi spot, and then hike back to camp usually with a time crunch. But I took the time to get it done everyday. My quit is still very important to me and I am willing to fight blisters on both feet to make my promise to each and every one of you. You have saved my life, it is the least I can do.

Good stuff buddy. I quit with you again today.
