Hit the 9th floor today. Was going to come here and drop something profound but I got nothing.
I haven't been spending as much time here as I used to. I've just been living life like a "normal guy".
I've stopped defining myself as an addict (yes, I know I still am) and just think of myself as a guy who used to chew. That has really seemed to help for some reason. Maybe because I actually believe it, now.
I think I read something once that said if you put 10,000 hours of practice into a particular sport you could become a professional. Well, I put about 130,000 hours into chewing so I was pretty much a grand master.
Thankfully I stuck to the game plan laid out by those who came before me and over time things became easier for me.
While I may not be here as frequently as I once was, I never forget this place and those who have helped me get to where I am today. There's no way I could have made it to 900 days alone. I am eternally grateful for all the support this site has provided.
To any noobs reading this...stick with the program. Lean on your brothers and sisters and I PROMISE that over time things will get easier. Going from a grand master of chewing to a grand master of quit, is an incredible feeling.
Quit on...
