I am quitting

[Sh4string]

I don't know who all reads my intro but hopefully after this post everyone will. Last night I spent my evening crashed in the waiting room for the ICU at southen ohio medical center in Portsmouth ohio.

There was a fortyish woman crashed in there too. This morning we started talking a little and I found out her father is in really bad shape. I try not to be too nosy. She notices my jar of coffee and she sees my take a bite. She asked me why I was doing that. I told her that I recently gave up dipping snuff and that it helps me deal with it.

Immediately, she just breaks down. I am asking myself, "what the fuck did I do?"Ã, 

After a few moments she composes herself and says "daddy's in here because of that stuff".

As we talk more, she tells me that her father has dipped for over fifty years and has cancer that has metastasized and spread throughout his body. She invited me in to see him and what I see is a skinny man who looks like he has been in a concentration camp. After a few minutes of being in there, I had to leave.

The shit just got real. I couldn't take it. I saw myself on that hospital bed.

She said the doctor said he doesn't have much time. So please pray for Missy and John

So although that was an extremely horrible situation, seeing John like that strengthened my quit one million fold.

To anyone who hasn't quit yet, just imagine yourself laying in a hospital bed as a mere fraction of what you are now and nothing can really be done to save you. To know that it isn't long until that awful ugly dirty fucking whore, the nic Bitch and her filthy fucking partner, US Tobacco takes your life away.

No fucking way. I have too much to live for!!

Paul, thanks for sharing. Very powerful. Also, I hope you being the hospital does not mean you or your loved ones are having more serious issues. I think I remember you having a scare with your daughter. Is everything OK on your side?

Thanks for the dose of reality!!! Sometimes I still need a reminder

just unreal...thank you for sharing!

The bitch ain't playing folks. She plays for keeps. We all need to fight back with the same level of tenacity or it could be any of us on that hospital bed.

Fuck tobacco

Damn straight.....fuck tobacco.....I hate it

[Coach Steve]

There are others as well that have helped.

TCELL, J2B (aka cocksucker, just kidding, he gets it) Wastepanel, Coach Steve, Grizz, D2Maine, Zam and I am sure lotsa of others

"Helped" is the key word. You've owned your quit and taken control one day at a time. Quit like fuck with you today Paul!

p.s. J2B is also a jizzlicker.

Stolen from someone who has become what I like to think of as my big brother on here:

CBirdÃ,’s Top Ten
1 Quit for you. This decision to abstain from ANY and ALL NICOTINE is not based on fear or for anyone else.
2. Post roll every damn day. Affirm daily to yourself and to the brotherhood your decision to protect your quit and theirs.
3. Keep you word. Sounds simple until every hits the fan at once but if you canÃ,’t look yourself in the mirror honestly then you are a weak link.
4. Hold your brothers accountable to posting and protecting their quit This will require open lines of communication.
5. Have a sense of humor. Life is serious enough and quitting sucks. We did this to ourselves so own your quit.
6. Special butterflies need not apply regardless of your life story or circumstances. Your finger print is the only unique thing about you. Follow the time tested precepts. You are not GodÃ,’s gift to Ã,“quitÃ,” and KTC isnÃ,’t broken nor DOES IT NEED FIXING OR REINVENTING!
7. Take what you can and leave the rest. ItÃ,’s called life Ã,â€" roll with the good and bad.
8. Protect your quit daily and if you have extra energy help a brother out. (old or new, we all need encouragement sometimes) the pay it backward and forward principle. Note help may include a boot in the ass every now and then or a 2x4 upside a thick foggy skull
9. No cure, pill or silver bullet to erase our history of nicotine abuse.
10. Wake up and repeat

LIKE - We need one of these buttons here.

Oh shit...see #6 :-)
