day 1. No cigarettes, no cope, no nicotine

[KayakKurt]

Someone had not seen my official quit plan despite me having posted it. So here it is in my intro thread for everyone to refer to when they feel the need to call me out on not having one.

Kurt's quit plan:

1)I post roll every morning. I give my word to my group that I'm nic free today. My dad always said a man is only as good as his word. So I keep my word. No matter how bad shit gets today, nicotine is NOT an option for me today

2)Get on the forum. READ, READ, READ!

3)I'm stocked up with fake dip, the mint stuff, jolly ranchers, and wintergreen life savers.

4)I have 7 numbers of guys (and the list is growing by the day) who make sure I post roll everyday and vice versa (except for the vets numbers I have, I dont make sure they post roll because they usually did it before i'm up) So I have to ask all of them for permission to cave and get permission from ALL of them and then...

5)I have to get permission from my girlfriend and close family members to cave and have their permission to chooce nicotine over a full life with them.

Steps 1 - 3 are a daily routine for me. Though hopefully step 3 becomes less frequent.

Ideally step 1 says it all. Keep my word. And ideally it never gets past step 3.
Post roll. Keep my word. It's as simple as that.
I try to stay active on the forum but isn't always that easy, but I at least make sure to take the time to post roll everyday.

License Plates

California
Now I'm from California so I can talk shit about it.
First of all what is up with the gay cursive writing.
It screams Fag Francisco all over it.
Like some gay fairy saying in a flamboyant voice "Hey everyone! Come to California"

The golden state should have something bad ass for it's license plates. Like John Muir giving the middle finger to the O'Shaugnessy Dam.

Or a miner from 1849 with a fat gold nugget in one hand and a bottle of canadian whiskey in the other.

But red cursive is just gay.

Oregon
One tree.
Really? One tree??
The beaver state should have something better than that. Like a big hairy beaver.

I'm not talking about those little furry woodland creatures that gnaw down trees and dam rivers. I mean a big hairy pussy on it's license plates.

That would adequately describe how everyone in Portland and every subaru driver out there drives. Like a BIG HAIRY PUSSY!

Washington
I love Washington. I just moved here in October.
Mt. Rainier is pretty cool, but I've got a more bad ass idea for a license plate.

Mount Saint Helens erupting.
Underneath it instead of saying "The Evergreen State"
It would read:
"Don't come to Washington; When it's not raining volcanoes are erupting"

British Columbia
Most of you probably haven't seen these license plates but I live in Whatcom County which shares it's northern border with british columbia.

Just come to the Bellingham Costco, Mall, or Wal Mart and you will see a plague of canadians.

Their License plates say "Beautiful British Columbia" (GAY, and who would want to be associated with the British??)

Some of them say underneath "The Greatest Place on Earth"

Quick question, if BC is so fucking beautiful and the greatest place on earth why are you all over here??

The difference between canadians and americans is that we had the balls to give the British a big fucking middle finger and  to tell them to fuck off. The canadians were bitches to the british.

Montana
My dad's from great falls, I have a lot of family here.

This is for you Grandpa D. (R.I.P.)
The sky is NOT any bigger in Montana than in any other state. When you come across from Wyoming the sky doesn't magically get bigger.

Big Sky Country, MY ASS
It's the treasure state, damn it!!

Idaho
"Scenic Idaho"

"Famous Potatoes"

Good job, Idaho... Because really that's all they're good for.

Nevada
The Silver State.

If California is the golden state then the only way nevada would win silver is if they were in the special olympics.



I don't feel like adding more, but you can guys add on to this list. Add on some east coast states if you'd like.

The "old" California plates were cool; the old school blue/gold ones or the ones with the bear. The new ones are, I agree, gay.

Plates from states where I've lived and I'm entitled to mock:

Arizona
Grew up there. They have the coolest flag in the union and always come out with colorful plates. They need to change the motto from the "Grand Canyon State" to the "Grand Dragon State", due to the quantity of bigoted, racist, ultraconservative white grandmas and grandpas in the state now. They have a long tradition of electing wacko governors as well.

New Mexico
Was stationed in Albuquerque for two years back on the early '90s. Cool town. Should change the state motto and plate from "Land of Enchantment" to "Land of Entrapment". I still dig NM, though, cool place if you avoid the shitty petroleum refining towns. Oh, and Las Cruces is a dump.

Texas
My current home for the last decade. Pretty cool place to live and raise a family, lots of jobs and no state income tax. Place is becoming overrun with rednecks and shitty drivers, though.

I spent some time in Tucson, that's probably one of the better cities in AZ, but i know what ya mean. Also it's too damn hot for me there.

The old school california plates were cool.

Also, NM should be land of entrapment? Care to explain that one, I've never been to NM.

TX I haven't really been to; I've just had lay overs in dallas/fort worth going to and from Paris in high school.
I remember coming through customs after leaving Paris and some big ol white guy with a thick texan accent says to me "Welcome home"

I know he meant, welcome home as in welcome back to america.
But I wanted to say, BITCH texas is not my home! hahaha
I restrained myself.

[KayakKurt]

I am a Seattle native, sentenced to oregon now for the wife's job but I still spend about half my time in Seattle in the summers. Welcome to the great NW it is a great place to enjoy the freedom you are earning everyday. Would love to live in Bellingham that is a great town.
So welcome fellow Northwesterner, I'll quit with you today.

Hey thanks, Luby!
I appreciate it. Bellingham is great. As you can tell by the screen name I like to kayak, so Bellingham is paradise for me. Got pretty decent hunting grounds nearby and lots of places to fish.

But it rains every single day, so don't move here ;)

Sorry to hear that you're sentenced to Oregon right now. I really genuinely feel for ya. Where in the beav state are you?

NIC BITCH I FUCKING HATE YOU!

I HATE HOW I WORK ALL WEEK AND SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON A PRODUCT THAT WILL ONE DAY LEAD TO MY DEATH!

I HATE HOW EVEN THOUGH I WAS RUNNING LATE YOU MADE ME STOP AT THE 711 AND WAIT IN LINE WITH THE OTHER FUCKING IDIOTS TO GET MY FIX!

NIC BITCH I DON'T NEED YOU!

NO SHUT UP! I DON'T NEED YOU!

MY HEAD HURTS, MY TEMPER IS SHORT AND I CAN'T SLEEP BUT I DO NOT NEED YOU!!!



I'm finally beginning to get my first tastes of freedom. I don't need nicotine. Today on february 29th, I will stay quit and I will make a point to tell everyone in my life about my decision to stay quit.

Here's to 11, approaching 2 weeks of quit...

Hey Kurt,
Hang in there, Chief. I think you and I are on the same quit day, I'm hitting day 11 today as well. I have good days and not so good days as well. Lately, my sleep has been fucked with. Regardless, I'm quit for good.
I agree with you, I don't miss standing in line at the convenience store waiting for Cooter to pick up ten lottery tickets and a two packs of camels. I also don't miss not seeing any of those sorry mofo's behind the counter. Most of them knew me by sight and would grin and grab a can of Red seal for me when I got to the front of the line.

TAKE YOUR READ SEAL AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS, SURESH. I QUIT!!

Later.

[KayakKurt]

You're at a place right now where the wounds are open and raw, Kurt. Dig me? You're going to have to pay attention to them. Take care of them. Let them heal. Once they scar over, they'll always feel weird. ALWAYS. But you won't pay them much mind. They'll only bother you if you fuck around with them and tear them open again. That's a cave. That's fucking yourself.

Jesus Dean that's a perfect analogy. Well put.

PS. I by no means was insinuating that Dean is Jesus with that comment. Dean...please don't be offended.

Smoking is what got me hooked, too, Kurt. I'd fucked around with both cigarettes and chewing tobacco since I was 10 or 11, because I was curious and wanted to be awesome and a trendsetter, and because setting trends that are wholesome (like Eagle Scouting or doing homework) was for crybabies and boys who could do perfect cartwheels.

Up until I was just about 16, nicotine's barbs hadn't penetrated me. But I distinctly remember making the shift. Camel Lights. Easy to inhale. Joy and intoxication ensued. Fun was had by all.

I smoked, mainly, until I was 19ish. Then dipped for several years. Then smoked again in my mid-20s. Then back to dip. And so on.

It didn't stop until March 2009. That's when I ripped the hooks out of my skin. The wounds are still there. Or, I should say, the scars.

You're at a place right now where the wounds are open and raw, Kurt. Dig me? You're going to have to pay attention to them. Take care of them. Let them heal. Once they scar over, they'll always feel weird. ALWAYS. But you won't pay them much mind. They'll only bother you if you fuck around with them and tear them open again. That's a cave. That's fucking yourself.

And that's the best way I can describe things.

Deanthecunt, I appreciate your words. Also I am honored that you have graced my thread with your presence.

Not to sound super ghey, but I found your thread and was laughing at your shit.

I decided to go to the first page, and read your entire thread. It took me about 2 days (obviously not 48 hours, I have to work and sleep and fuck my girlfriend)

But you and SWJ have some funny shit in there. Now I'm reading SWJ's page.

Good shit, man. Once again I appreciate your words
