So yesterday I receive a pamphlet in the mail from my insurance provider stating that they are offering a $150 incentive to anyone that quits tobacco, all you have to do is sign up for a quit program at webcoach.net, which is run by the American cancer society. So I do that and one of the requirements is that I participate in 5 calls from my quit coach. About 20 minutes after I sign up my phone rings and it is my quit coach and she wants to get some information, the usual- how long have I used, when the was the last time etc, etc. She tells me that they can help with the payment of nic gum and prescrip meds and I tell her that I do not want any of that, that I am doing this cold turkey. She then asks what my strategy was, and I told her that, among other things, I signed up on an online forum and that the only thing I do is give my word that I will not use today, everyday. Her response was "that website wouldnt happen to be killthecan would it? to which I obviously reply yes, and she said that they recommend this site to everyone that calls in trying to quit and that I was the 1st person she has talked to that actually used it. So to the wonderful addicts that created this site, well done, the ACS even believes in this method!

I have a larger garden that I try to take care of (1500 acres)

My garden consists of a 4'x8' box that I built :lol:

I love the analogy to the garden, I have a larger garden that I try to take care of (1500 acres) but the principle is exactly the same. The time that you put into caring for your garden or quit is directly proportional to the outcome you can expect. But we also have got to be alert to outside influences, for my farm it is weather, bugs, weeds and unlimited other things. For our quit there are craves, triggers, hell just walking into the convience store. The TOOLS that we pick up here on KTC will help to eliminate or deal with those outside influences.
Shoogie I'm still learning things that I can do without a dip. This week it is baling alfalfa. (still looking for something to keep me awake) I've found that our crutch NICOTINE was more like a bubble that kept us from dealing with real life rather than a crutch to help us through life. It isolated me from life and controlled my every action.
I'm proud to be quit with you! No more hiding our face from the kids or others. Look them straight in the face and smile. LOOK NO MORE DIP!

day 30- Believe it or not, yard work can be done without a dip!! I've been outside all day pulling weeds, mowing and tending to my little garden and not once did I crave a cancer turd.

I was laughing at myself while I was out there becuase I was thinking how I used to do yard work. I would always put just enough dip in to where it was not very noticeable, you know in case my kids would happen to look out the window, and then the whole time I was out there I would make sure that my face was always turned away from the windows- FUCKING PATHETIC

And this is going to sound corny as fuck, but I dont care, while I was tending my little garden box, I noticed that my watermelons were starting to sprout, little melons no more the size of a grape, but there they were, and it got me thinking that my garden is a lot like my quit. It needs special attention EVERY day, there is no "I'm too busy to get out there and water it and pull the weeds" because you know what happens to a garden that is deprived of attention- it dies and all the hard work that I put into it was for nothing. My quit is like that, if I dont acknowledge it EVERY day (post roll), then I am neglecting my quit and am putting it in jeopardy, however, if I am diligent in my quit like I am my garden, then it too will flourish.

I am quit.

That's pretty cool.

Yesterday was my twin boys 5th birthday. We spent about an hour in the toy store letting them spend their gift cards that they got at their party, and then we met their nana for lunch. It was a very good day, had I still been using, it would have been a horrible day as I would not have gotten a fix for several hours.

Also, I had my 3rd dip dream last night, only this time I put a big fatty of Smokey Mountain Herbal chew in. My quit is so strong that I am now kicking the nic bitch in the cunt in my dreams.

I am quit- day 26

That is fan fucking tastic!!!!

It is a true enjoyment to be quit with badasses! Way to stay strong and feel the freedom of quit!!!!

Had my 2nd dip dream last night and it was F'ed up. All it involved was me lying on the ground and opening can after can and just smelling them  :wacko:  I never put a dip in or even thought about it, just smelled it. Woke up thinking what the fuck just happened???

I am Day 18 quit and loving life.

Phil,

You should start your intro thread, I don't want to hijack Shoogies page.

But when do you plan to "take the command and quit".

(cheat sheet- The answer is right now!)
