Day 65 ( The 2nd Funk)

There's a relativity new move in scholastics wrestling called "the funk". I've read on here about a 2nd funk showing up in ones quit. I think I'm experiencing that right now. My quit is as solid as ever, but I'm finding my fuse is shorter and little things piss me off.
Take yesterday... some poor blind squirrel (Space Lord) stumbled into the Sultans page and got flamed. Claimed he had 60 days quit and in my honest opinion, was seeking helped. He definitely was out of line in his response to Spitstickler. I get that...but he's a fucked up addict like you and me with 60 days of quit ALONE! My advise to Space Lord is to join the Nov Jive Hive and start posting as if it's your DAY-1.
You and I know it's not...but in the long range of quit...it's just a number. Help lead those fellow jive turkeys addicts.
Another guy in the October or November group got his nuts handed to him for posting late in the day...yet had 100% participation. I got no dog in that fight, but I want to own my quit - - I don't need my hand held - - if I do I'll call or PM.
If there's one thing Old ES knows and I quote - - -
"It is only when you see a mosquito land on your testicles that you realize that there is always a way to solve problems without using violence" - - - Old ES

Its amazing the reflexes that we had, it got to a point that we never even thought about it,

and now as we quit, we focus more on the thought, more on the information and how bad we treated our minds and bodies, and we remove that reflex for what we did.

I will stand beside you each and every day, any and every where that we may be.

Proud to be quit with you ES. Thanks for your honesty and perspective. I'm looking forward to hunting without the ugly whore bitch this fall.

I myself was not hooked on the oral fixation, but early in my quit triggers called for the fake to get me through a moment, or at least it did get me through moments. My Dentist shared that anything I put there was going to fuck up my gums, the balance I struck was gumlines could be fixed when I was done.

I still carry a can of fake with me just in case but that damn can hasn't been opened in over 6 months now. I could probably cut the tie but like still having a lifeline if I fall into a cave and are unable to post roll or send/receive text messages.
topic - Hard to Believe -

I'm going to be doing something next week that I've never, ever done with my wife and kids...go on our annual family vacation to the beach without the CAN. It's embarrassing to have to put that in writing but also very therapeutic... 34 years with the can wart on my butt. For you younger guys out there, don't be a meatstick like Old ES - stay quit and guard it like your life depends on it....because it does fellas. I got a feeling some triggers/craves are going to rear they're head next week, but a good coach always has a game plan. If the buck tooth bitch starts to sneak up behind me, I going to turn around and kick HER right in the SACK! "take a suck, sweetie"

enjoy your time, and make some new memories without the poison that we had lived with for so long.

that I think is one thing that gets us. we always remember that it was there, but we may forget the rest. Well make it know this time that the 'rest' is the important part. The family, the scenery, the times is what is important. Not what we have left behind.

well done and keep up the great work.
I remember a camping trip before we had kids, and I was FREAKING OUT because we were up in Canada, on this little island, and I hadn't packed enough. I made it four days with one measly can. I re-dipped that can all weekend.

This year, we took all three kids camping for the 4th of July, and I didn't think about dipping, not one freaking time. My wife and kids had 100% of my attention the entire time. We rented a kayak, swam in the ocean, played games. Had a great time.

You're going to love this vacation in so many ways ES - enjoy!
Enough stuff, you are a wrestling coach so you should know about grinding, grinding in practice, grinding on the mat, grinding through cutting weight etc. Quiting dip is nothing iof it is not a grind. So make your daily promise and be a man and live up to ity. It does not take someone strong to dip, it takes someone strong to quit. Good luck.
I got back from my first beach vacation without dip in a LONG time a couple weeks ago. (Maybe not as long as "Old ES, but it had been a while!) It was actually liberating not worrying about dip the whole time. I still swam with my little kids and I actually took naps while the kids were napping. I think we all know what we used to do while the kids were napping!

I remember saying to my mom a while back that I can't nap anymore. Looking back it was actually that I couldn't waste a potential quiet/alone moment napping when I could be stuffing my face with shit! Amazing how that works...
You'll probably be nervous leading up to the vacation. And it will probably be the best vacation of your life. You don't need nicotine to do anything, especially to enjoy your vacation! Freedom is sweet, brother.
ES, you have set your mind to be quit (finally), and you strike me as the kind of man that will get what you set your mind to get, and you have proven that you do not need the poison to get through today! You will have a great vacation without the poison!
Thanks for the best wishes fellas. Worktowin not nervous in the least...lets call it excited - I've been doin push ups everyday since I'm quit and I thought I saw a twinkle in Mrs Enough's eyes this morning. I thinks she likes what she sees.
B-lomatt - - mindset says it all to old ES - - - I will not let that the fat ass, buck tooth, two bit floozy win. She wants to play hardball....I'll play fuckin Hardball.
mid vacation week and all is solid with this quit. She tried to shout out to me the other day, but she was quickly kicked in her buckteeth and told to "take a suck". I haven't felt this alive in 3 decades. Never again sweetie-
Old ES
Best vacation ever....

Freedom. Enjoy it ES. The vacations keep getting better.


"Brain Fart"

It's been 30 years since the last time I fished without a chew in. Last night I grabbed my fly rod and headed to my favorite bass pond. As I was exiting the truck I subconsciously reached for the console where I always kept the can. WTF...slap palm of hand to forehead and sat there giggling. I said to myself, you are a sneaky nic bitch, fat ass. I stuck in a tootsie pop and had one of the best nights fishing in my life.

I myself was not hooked on the oral fixation, but early in my quit triggers called for the fake to get me through a moment, or at least it did get me through moments. My Dentist shared that anything I put there was going to fuck up my gums, the balance I struck was gumlines could be fixed when I was done.

I still carry a can of fake with me just in case but that damn can hasn't been opened in over 6 months now. I could probably cut the tie but like still having a lifeline if I fall into a cave and are unable to post roll or send/receive text messages.

I'm going to be doing something next week that I've never, ever done with my wife and kids...go on our annual family vacation to the beach without the CAN. It's embarrassing to have to put that in writing but also very therapeutic... 34 years with the can wart on my butt. For you younger guys out there, don't be a meatstick like Old ES - stay quit and guard it like your life depends on it....because it does fellas. I got a feeling some triggers/craves are going to rear they're head next week, but a good coach always has a game plan. If the buck tooth bitch starts to sneak up behind me, I going to turn around and kick HER right in the SACK! "take a suck, sweetie"

enjoy your time, and make some new memories without the poison that we had lived with for so long.

that I think is one thing that gets us. we always remember that it was there, but we may forget the rest. Well make it know this time that the 'rest' is the important part. The family, the scenery, the times is what is important. Not what we have left behind.

well done and keep up the great work.
I remember a camping trip before we had kids, and I was FREAKING OUT because we were up in Canada, on this little island, and I hadn't packed enough. I made it four days with one measly can. I re-dipped that can all weekend.

This year, we took all three kids camping for the 4th of July, and I didn't think about dipping, not one freaking time. My wife and kids had 100% of my attention the entire time. We rented a kayak, swam in the ocean, played games. Had a great time.

You're going to love this vacation in so many ways ES - enjoy!
Enough stuff, you are a wrestling coach so you should know about grinding, grinding in practice, grinding on the mat, grinding through cutting weight etc. Quiting dip is nothing iof it is not a grind. So make your daily promise and be a man and live up to ity. It does not take someone strong to dip, it takes someone strong to quit. Good luck.
I got back from my first beach vacation without dip in a LONG time a couple weeks ago. (Maybe not as long as "Old ES, but it had been a while!) It was actually liberating not worrying about dip the whole time. I still swam with my little kids and I actually took naps while the kids were napping. I think we all know what we used to do while the kids were napping!

I remember saying to my mom a while back that I can't nap anymore. Looking back it was actually that I couldn't waste a potential quiet/alone moment napping when I could be stuffing my face with shit! Amazing how that works...
