Canvasback Intro

[Krusty]

Ladies and Gentleman of Kill the Can, I'm Canvasback,  I am 29 days into my quit, have posted roll everyday and am incredibly psyched to know you.

On January 1st, I drove 400 miles home from my in laws and chewed through 2 cans of Copenhagen long cut along the way- pretty normal stuff for me.

For the eight prior New year's days, I had listed "quit dip" as one of my resolutions. Well, I didn't really mean "quit dip" you know like that day or anything, just sometime during the year, I'd get around to buying patches and stuff and I'd quit.

Well, by the grace of God, I wound up spending just one minute too long on this site on the night of January 1, reading the articles, the HOF speeches, etc. About two hours later, I had come to understand that cold turkey, right then, right that second was the only way I was ever going to quit. I never looked back, and my life as absolutely improved ten fold-- because this site exists.

I was actually terrified during those two hours I was clicking around on my ipad- terrified that I might actually start drinking the kool-aid, and try something (quitting) that had scared me for nine years.

But I jumped in. I drank every last drop of the kool-aid, and have been successful each day of my quit. ODAAT.

I owe that to all of you, and intend to pay it forward.

As for me, I'm 26, from Georgia, living in DC. Married. Proud owner of a bad ass german shorthair. Would rather be in a duck blind or on a trout stream, but I enjoy every second I get to spend without a roof over my head.

I am eternally grateful for my brothers and sisters on this website, and Ill never know what I can do for you, unless you tell me, so please PM for support, or fashion advice or recipes or to borrow my make-up or shoes or just whatever.

From a new newbie to a more seasoned one, just wanted to say your post struck a chord and I can totally relate. Half-assed quitting promises that never amounted to much in the past, and then stumbling into the light  community of KTC. Amazed and inspired by all the stories, commitment, and common themes / resilience. Keep up the great work, Canvas -- I'd hunt / fish with you anytime.

It's interesting that you waited 29 days to post an introduction even though you post roll every day.  That would not have worked for me but apparently it is for you.  Keep a good quit going and I'm quit with you today! 'Remshot'

apogee: That comes out of my fear of quitting. I credit some of my nine years as a dipper to being afraid to quit- even though I knew I should. Ill also say that my limited public sharing is from fear of failure.

I did get some numbers early on and shared with those folks- lost a quit brother though and that hurt.

Figured an intro was a good way to meet others.

Ah, now I understand! Same reason I waited until day 3 to post my introduction. You were just more worried than I was about this bunch kicking your ass. 'na na'

Now you are all in buddy!! Cards are flipped over and its go time!! Let's get it and keep it done ODAAT!!

REALLY Quit with you now brother!

Canvas,
You've got a real sweet quit going on. Thanks for sharing that you signed on for one set of reasons (financial), and yet you keep your quit going on for other more profound reasons (health, family, and personal peace). Way to f***ing go! I feel like you've shed some light on what drives all of us forward on this collective journey. I quit with you every damn day! Thanks for posting.

Just read this and loved it. All in.
No over thinking... No second guessing... Just doing. That's exactly how you win against your addiction everyday... Doing it. Working it. Owning it. Nice job man. Keep it up and the days just get better. Message me if you'd like another quitter on your team...

Congrats on 29 days bro. Glad to have you here and have you quit. Sounds like you saw a light and decided to jump in the big kids pool. That is what it takes and now we keep our word. Keep at it today. I am quit with you all day long!

Awesome Tommy! Fellow hunter here and I also enjoy the outdoor cathedrals. I found this site on the first day of my quit....searching the web for ways to make it easy (patches, nic gum). Found KTC and spent a few hours on it and realized there was no easy way, no short cuts and faced the fact that I needed to just man up and go through it. I have spent a boat load of time on here in the last 25 days and share your gratitude. Proud to be quit and going through this with you.

Thanks, Sam. Appreciate the support.
