Thoughts On 300
Today marks 300 days quit for me, and I really want to share my thoughts about it. First off the freedom seems extra special today but that is not what I will remember about today. I have had a hard time getting excited as I’ve hit the Hall of Fame, and the 2nd floor but [...]
The Wife…or Spousal Issue
I’ve been meaning to post this for some time now as I’ve put some kind of thought into my quit and what effect it has had around me. While I sit and pat myself on the back about how happy I am with myself and my quit, sometimes it feels as though the world is [...]
Bundle Your Quit
What do I mean by “bundle your quit?” Make quitting dip just one part of an overall plan to change your life for the better. Bundle your quit with a new diet, another needed quit, going to the gym or starting a new and more aggressive gym routine, begin meditating, learning to play an instrument, [...]
Learn From Your Failures
In a perfect world, when you quit you quit. Unfortunately this isn’t the Garden of Eden and for most of us our first quit isn’t our last. The trick is to learn from those failed quits. I myself have had two prior lengthy quits. Amazingly I have no memory of the early days of those [...]
Having a Good Day? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Take it Easy!
I’ve felt pretty good about myself and my quit these past couple of days. I’ve had moments of being refreshed and excited. I wanted to shout it to the world! Only to take a step back and say “slow down fella, at any one moment you’re about 2 seconds from caving, take it easy.” It [...]
365 Days of Freedom
365 Days of Freedom I met nicotine for the first time about 34 years ago, back on a little league field in a small rural town in upstate NY. Baseball and chewing tobacco, they went together like America and apple pie. At 10 , I really didn’t think about the consequences of chewing. Many of [...]
Stop “Sugar Coating” it
I am still stunned to this day about the way tobacco addiction is looked at by society. It seems people feel the need to intervene on every addiction to save the people they love. I think about the show Intervention and see how families and friends try to get people help with their addiction to [...]
Quit Now, Not Tomorrow
Everyone knows a story of someone close to them who is dying or has died from something very random and “undeserved.” I’m struggling with that right now as a close friend of mine has been diagnosed with Leukemia in the past couple of weeks, just before Christmas. He has already gone through a round of [...]
Keep Paying it Forward My Brothers and Sisters
What I have found over the past couple hundred days of my quit is that many things contribute to it. Yes, my own resolve is one of the biggest factors, but the influence and support of KTC members has also been key. As I look at my inbox, I see a multitude of names. Some [...]
Be Mindful of Your Surroundings
I haven’t had a lot of time over the holiday season to be on KTC for perusing or chatting, just posting. But in going through some of the present HOF class threads, I read about a few caves. One of them had to do with a major vet that now had to post day 1 [...]
