I'm done with Copenhagen

[Punkin]

Day 21!!!!

Its almost in the books. My quit is going good. Im still having cravings but I squash them by eating metric tons of seeds and copious amounts of Smokey Mountain. Sleep still evades me most nights but its still better than cancer. In my 21 days on this sight, I have talked to more complete strangers than I have in my entire life. Ive enjoyed talking to everyone that has called and texted. It seems to me that the more active I am here, the easier my quit becomes. Im getting the hang of chat and have talked to a bunch of people in there.

Im saying all of this to tell all of the new guys in my group to not be afraid to ask for numbers and to give your numbers out. Jump into chat and raise hell on people. Its fun. You get out of this place exactly what you put into it

My wifes ankle is still giving her fits but its on the mend. I feel bad that Im not home to help with the kids and stuff but Ive been on evening shift this week. My 9yr old has been stepping up and helping her. Shes the best daughter a dad could ask for. She got her first report card of the schoolyear and she made the Honor Roll which is a first. She takes after her ol Dad in the school department, lol

Have a great night y'all. Proud to be quit with all of you!

Sorry to hear about the wife's ankle, that stinks.

I am glad you are holding out so strong. I know you are going to beat this thing.

Stay strong!

Punkin,

Did your trip to the mountains have any involvment with your trip to the hospital? Ive been there, but usually for my self. Tell me about it if you get a chance and dont gobble up her painkillers for the temporary reprieve. I tried that years ago as a quit method and well, cleary, im here now.
Gotta say ryan here is an inspiration. That guy texted me first thing this morning and set my day on a great path. Thanks for your leadership with our class and hope all works out with the homelife.

Day- 16
Today has been a trying day. My wife sprained her ankle pretty bad while picking up out daughter last friday from school. Fast forward to this morning, she was walking through the house (without her crutches because shes stubborn as a mule) and tripped over a pair of my daughters shoes. She ended up rolliing her ankle and fell on it. Shes screaming bloody murder, I jump out of bed and race to the living room and find her on the floor. I pick her up and put her on the couch and proceed to get the kids out of bed and get them dressed. I get everybody in the car and we go to the hospital. Beckys ankle looks NASTY. Its so swollen, it hurts your eyes to look at it and its about 6 shades of black and green. The kids were worried about momma. They xrayed her ankle and said that she tore some ligaments from the bone and upon doing that, some chunks of bone came off with the ligaments. Suckfest. They give her the option to either get a cast or a rigid boot so she opted for the boot. Shes resting with her foot up and seems to be doing good.

Im not the best at playing Mr. Mom but I can hold my own. My 9 yr old was a big help. I owe her a lot of thanks for helping out with her baby brother. Back when I was under the influence of copenhagen, today would have easily been a 2 can type of day. Plenty of stress today but I held firm on my promise and remained Nicotine free all day. ODAAT.

On a side note. I met up with a fellow quitter late last night. I met up with RoamCountry and had a cup of coffee with him before he had to roam on down the road. Super nice guy. I cant wait to meet up with him again.

Have a great night everbody

Rough day for a day 16. Congrats on the win punkin. What state did you meet Roam in? He gets around doesnt he. Hence the name I guess.

Keep it up.

I live right on the border of WV and KY. I drove across the border to Kentucky and met him at the flying j truck stop. He's a good dude. He cracked me up when he said that he gets a picture of every member that he meets, behind the wheel of his truck. That's a sweet rig that he drives

That is stress. You are a strong one man. Keep it up and my best to the Mrs.

[Mike from AB]

You have a good night too! Congrats on making it all through what would've been a 2 can day as a ZERO can day today! Or maybe 2 cans of the fake stuff, but it's all good. Prayers sent up for your wife for sure.

Day 13--You guys crack me up.  Today has been so much better.  I finally slept halfway decent last night which was welcomed.  I finished up my midnight shifts yesterday morning so ill be on a halfway normal schedule for the next 3 weeks until my midnights roll back around.  Cravings have been tolerable and the fog is thinning out. 

Lots of my fellow Killers have been reaching out which kicks ass.  Thanks for helping a brother out.

Oh and by the way, Im a pretty big dude so by default, Im a pretty good hugger. LOL :D

I'll just say congrats on making it through day 13! :D

Punkin....you are doing great my man! Keep battling ODAAT! 13 days of freedom is awesome! Quitting with you today and will wake up and be quit with u tomorrow as well. Rock on!

Glad things are looking up a bit punkin. That is great. Celebrate each small victory, but remain vigilant. Keep your guard up always and keep your newly learned tools close at hand. Use these good times to prepare for the hard times. If you are anything most of these quitters, hard times will come. Will you be ready?? I quit with you today.

I am pretty new to this quitting stuff myself but I have a decent handle on telling when someone has the fortitude to really quit and when they are just going to post roll for a week, not get involved in the forum and just go away in 7 days.

Punkin has got some serious quit in him, heck, they have a pretty strong looking group.

Plus, with a name like Punkin...I just kind of wanna hug him.... :o

'getaroom'


haha I agree, though, Punkin is clearly a fine addition to KTC!

Stop acting like we don't hug...... :wub:

'Kiss' and we do this...

Sometimes we even do this... 'sos' , or this if you're lucky (chose your side) 'bj' . But, I will agree, after seeing Punkin on the secret Jackwagin FB page... I would like to hug him.
