Day 236 - 3/7/14

I am two days away from my first Nicotine free birthday since I turned 12.  Although I am very excited for this next milestone I am down right embarrassed to admit that shit.  What kind of idiot start an nasty addiction at that age?  What kind of asshole would condone someone at the age of 12 starting that habit?  How can an Eagle Scout, a retired Marine, a father, a professional man let some little piece of shit weed control their life for that long?

Oh well, fuck it I am quit today and that is going strong for 236 days now, we are taught not to look ahead and see the future but the past is a great reminder of why I am quit.  My own son will turn 12 this month too, and all I can hope is that he is smarter than his dumbass old man was/is.

On a lighter note, I have been driving my new truck now for a little over a week.  It is quite nice not having that Copenhagen smell, finding those little dip turds dried up all over the place (in the glove box, center console, door panel, ashtray, carpet...).

I look forward to many more hurdles, milestones and more of these happy days taking my life back from addictions and afflictions.

>P<

Looking forward to being right there with you buddy- crusing the adventure of whatever life throws. Your son has a good start, and that's all you can do for him. You're a natural leader and give so much to this little community of life saving heros. Glad to know you'll be around for a long time.

And, enjoy that Birthday!

Your son is a lucky Kid to have a Father like you!

The past is a good reminder however, I really like this quote:

Life should be more like a car windshield, a lot of area devoted to looking at where you are and a very small amount devoted to a rear view mirror.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. As of 5:00pm 3/7/2014. I will quit chewing. I have had enough of the lies to my kids and family. Been chewing for 25 years, everyday. Going to watch my boys play in a 4th grade AAU tournament and want to be able to watch them for many years to come. I'm nervous.

Day 236 - 3/7/14

I am two days away from my first Nicotine free birthday since I turned 12.  Although I am very excited for this next milestone I am down right embarrassed to admit that shit.  What kind of idiot start an nasty addiction at that age?  What kind of asshole would condone someone at the age of 12 starting that habit?  How can an Eagle Scout, a retired Marine, a father, a professional man let some little piece of shit weed control their life for that long?

Oh well, fuck it I am quit today and that is going strong for 236 days now, we are taught not to look ahead and see the future but the past is a great reminder of why I am quit.  My own son will turn 12 this month too, and all I can hope is that he is smarter than his dumbass old man was/is.

On a lighter note, I have been driving my new truck now for a little over a week.  It is quite nice not having that Copenhagen smell, finding those little dip turds dried up all over the place (in the glove box, center console, door panel, ashtray, carpet...).

I look forward to many more hurdles, milestones and more of these happy days taking my life back from addictions and afflictions.

>P<

Happy Birthday Pinched!

Congrats on the nic free Birthday, the new car & the kick ass example for your boy. So many of us are walking the same path, trying to set better examples for our kids.....

The past is a good reminder however, I really like this quote:
"When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past. ~Author Unknown"
Life should be more like a car windshield, a lot of area devoted to looking at where you are and a very small amount devoted to a rear view mirror.

WT getting philosophical wid it. I like it!

Good work P, head up and keep looking forward.

That's what I am doing today first dip free bday since the ice age. Proud of you Pinched you are here everyday in the trenches kickin ass. Like reading your thread. keep up the good work and enjoy that day you deserve it.

Freedom.

Happy Birthday.

Awesome post. I remember my first nicotine free B-day, it was almost on my HOF day. I too started dipping at a very young age, and I too have a young son, (10 years old). I talk with him and my younger son about tobacco and other drugs all the time. Quitting has opened up some awesome dialogue for us on these subjects. They know the dangers, they know what addiction is, they watched me struggle. They watched their grandfather have half his neck cut out due to smoking. They know that their friends will be dipping and smoking and doing other drugs and hopefully............................God willing................................they will make better choices than you and I did. Happy Birthday Pinched.
