Hello

[billybill3934]

Everything is going great, I'll be damned if I'm not going to sneak up on day 40 this week.

I'm just keeping my intro near the top so it will be easy to find when I hit HOF and then day 200 and then day 300...

QLF and proud to be in this fine group.

Damn, you are rolling up on 40 already? Fantastic!! Funny how those plus ones add up in a hurry. Great job getting on here, reading and posting even when things are going well. That shows your dedication to your quit, an understanding of how you will stay quit, and a sense of responsibility to this place and those that come after us.
I am proud to be quit with you.

Great to hear that you plan on sticking around for more than your HOF! keep your quit close and chug the KTC Kool Aid because there will be a day when you get tired of posting roll and think you can travel the quit highway on your own and that's when the Nic Bitch sets her gps to your front fucking door step and sucks you right back in Stay vigilant always!! GOOO DUCKS!

I was only about 1/2 dick this weekend which is pretty much just me.

Fun weekend full of biking with my wife and a few drinks on Saturday by the pool.

No real big craves, still have a slight empty feeling when I have my morning coffee.

Seriously time to get hardcore on my diet. My legs and body feel heavy on the bike but it's still 100 degrees outside so I'm not that worried about it.

Really, now that I think about it, I haven't been missing Cope when I bike anymore...right there is a big win that I didn't even notice.

Now...that I remembered that last part...I'm just as happy as I can be...

Thanks guys, I don't want to sound like I am too wrapped up in the money situation. I am in Medical Sales and always have been. Money and commission plans come and go and everything is always changing. I make good money and it will still be pretty good after a 40% cut so it will be fine.

The big deal was being an ass to my wife. I am going to commit to being real careful on that from now own.

Good job realizing the way you are being with your wife. Me and my wife got into a couple of fights during my first 100 and they were not good. I found out that I just couldn't handle it. Your Brain has to relearn everything. You have been living desensitized by nicotine for years.

Your wife will have a very hard time understanding. Mine did!! She tried, but she didn't understand and I didn't expect her to. My wife thought I should have been healed a long time before the first 100 days. Lol..

You will have a rough time when getting into negative situations with the wife and family for a while. I began handling negative situations with more control over my emotions around day 150.

As a matter of fact, we just got into an argument the other day and it seems i'm right back to the same right as usual me. Lol

I think i'm still working on a better me and it's showing. That's what I would like to get across to you. Quitting actually has made me rethink the way I handled a lot of negative situations and made me realize I could come out a better man. I still got work to do, but this quit has just begun.

Nic Bitch was knocking hard at my door yesterday. I said "are you kidding me bitch, go away, no dippers live here".

Freaking powerful and nasty little drug.

The fog was also back yesterday, that sucks.

That's right, you don't do that shit anymore!

You are doing great PDawg!

Hang tough Brother!

Oh....I forgot to add the fact that I was a total dick to my wife last night too.

A lot of stress happened at once yesterday.

I found out that my commission plan is dropping by almost 40% at work. Yeah Sales Jobs...

I found out that my AC is going out in my house. Yeah a $5,600 bill.

I found out the IntelliChlor unit went out in my pool. Yeah a $1,000.

I was overwhelmed and chased the demon with some whisky and then became a total dick.

I didn't even almost dip but I did have to pull out all my tools.

Great job on your quit bike man. You are in it to with it without a doubt.

The poison can knock all it wants because you had bolt locks all down the sides of the door and there was no entry allowed. You Posted a sign that said keep out as soon as you posted roll yesterday.

Not only is the door bolt locked but you have several watch dogs inside. All your ktc brothers and sisters are there keeping watch. You get into trouble all you got to do is give the order.

Proud of you bro,,, keep it up. Very pleased with your quit.

PDawg - That is some shit hitting you all at once. Remember though dipping is just adding another fucking problem on top of all the other shit.

3 problems + nic = 4 problems.

Keep using those tools. You can get a new job and you can get new pool equipment, But last I checked, lips and jaws are not easily replaced.

I haven't had to deal with shit like you are during with my quit so, I admire your resolve on this. But I also know guys who lost way more and stayed quit. You can do it. You will do it.

Let me know if I can help,

Right here with you bro

Thanks guys.

I got my ass handed to me on the bike yesterday. A 10 lb weight gain on a bike is like cutting a foot off of a runner. I felt so sluggish and like I was retaining fluid so I couldn't breath right or control my heart rate.

One of my buddies dropped back to check on me. He asked what was wrong so I told him that I gained 10 lbs after I quit dipping. We had never discussed dipping before and his response was "it's impressive that you haven't dipped in 30 days, you will look a lot cooler on a bike if you are slow vs if you had no lips''.

One of the other guys, whom I never saw again, until we were back at the trail head, said "man, I heard you quit dipping". He then stated that he knows what I am going through as he quit 1.5 years ago.

All that being said, sometimes you just have an off day so I may be making too much out of it.

On the other hand....I don't like losing in anything so I started my diet last night. I can drop 10 lbs in 2 weeks without losing strength. I can drop it in 1 week but that's too fast to do it correctly.

Way to be a quitter PD. 10 lbs is nothing to take off, particularly if you are a competative rider (and not an old fart like me)... Agree 2-3 weeks is more healthy than 1. Good job keeping your quit a priority...

I am an old fart but that doesn't seem to slow me down much. I will be 49 in September and all my riding buddies are low to mid 30's.

One funny thing I forgot to mention and I have heard other's mention on here.

I got my first real whiff on nasty ass tobacco breath since being clean earlier this week. My Barber who has been cutting my hair for quite a while smokes and dips. I have never noticed the smell before or when I did, it was really mild. This time, I was seriously about to gag while he was cutting my hair. It was so bad, I may actually switch to a different place. Man, I bet I had that breath for years....

As always,, I like reading your posts. I can see your in it to win it brother. Bro, you mentioned you had a difficult ride and you didn't feel that great. First off,, you are around day 30, right? That where I really started to feel like crap for a while. Realize it's just a part of quitting. Every now and then you will feel the depressed/mullygrubs/doldrums. It usually don't last long and with your exercising you will overcome it quickly. Keep on keepen on brother. You got this.

Pdawg -

Your wife told me you still have that breath.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Sorry - you just tee'd it up so nicely for me.

Hold tight, let me flip your wife back over so I can ask her how your breath smells.....

No...he...didn't.... :o
