A little reflection:

772 days ago I put the can down.  A little over three years before that I put the plug in the jug.  Many years before that I put mary jane down and left the booger sugar alone.  Over the years I have made many changes in my life, some for the better some not so great. 

This weekend the wife and I are going to New Orleans to run the Rock & Roll 1/2 marathon.  Prior to quitting dip I never would have dreamed of attempting such a feat.  We have both been running for two years now and completed a 12 week training program for this race.  Prior to quitting dip I would have been content to waste my spare time sitting on the couch with a lip full of Cope. 

I'm not sure if quitting dip was the smartest thing I have ever done, but as of right now it sure feels like it.  When I threw that last can out I opened a door to a part of me that I never knew was there. 

Did quitting dip change my life?  You bet your ass!!!!

Nicely done - looking forward to reading the race report!

I, too, was an out-of-shape blob compared to where I am now. Not ready to jump on a half yet, but steadily building to a 10k. Ran my first organized races a few weeks ago. I was honored to cross at least one of the 3 finish lines with some KTC brothers. You should plan to make the Critz Tybee Run Fest next year with us. It is an awesome time with lots of great quitters. A few summaries are available and next year's plans will be made in the GA get together section.

Enjoy the race! Thanks for your help.

I'm training for my first marathon.

Was a 270 pound huffing hot mess when I quit.

I ran 20 miles last week.

Jim is coming to GA next year without a doubt.

Good luck brother.

"Post roll. Post more if you want to. That's the beauty of the place: We ask you post roll. We ask you to be honest. That's all. No more. No less. Be there for your brothers and ask for help when you need it." - Wastepanel 10/6/14

"What would you do to save your own life? If you were fighting cancer today would you suffer through Chemo, surgeries, try new a therapy? change your diet, go to church? What intolerable hell would you endure to simply live. When you have thought long and hard about that, think on this. Why not apply that attitude to your quit. Suffer through the temporary discomfort of withdrawal to achieve your freedom from a slow painful demise via nicotine. Your in the ring already- fight like you mean it." - Skoal Monster 10/8/14

"Others can take away 99% of the shit in your life - the bank can take your house, truck, retirement, bitch ass ex-wife can take away your kids, cancer can take your loved ones but NO ONE can ever take your quit but YOU - rkymtnman"

How Long Will I Be Quit?
