Sitting on one full revolution around the sun...reflecting on a quit from hell
The first two weeks were just a blur, nothing but fog. Plus it took 2.5 weeks for a real "normal" vowel movement too. So yes I was absolutely full of shit then. The rest if that month was hell, but like many other weeks from hell they too were worth it. The rest of the 100 days were filled with my being a raging overly defensive asshole. No one was safe, I was ready to fight for any reason whatsoever. However, I still managed to be a dad a good citizen and a hard working guy. I helped build a new company during this time.
The next hundred were filled with many tests as well; followed by even more tests the next 100 days. My diagnosed with breast cancer, fighting with spouse, betrayal, deceit, work problems, fighting over my lat father's possessions, sickness, travel (and loads of it)...I never once felt my quit was in danger. I was an asshole dipper, the in your face kind of packing my whol lower lip full of shit, spit in your store, leave spit cups/cans everywhere. My kids just thought that was daddy...what an asshole. I would have rather been a ninja now that I look back on it. My wife is a saint there is no way around it, why she ever let me kiss her, fell in love with me or married me is a mystery to me (yeah we even have wedding photos of me dipping...asshole).
Yet here I sit, a quitter, I have no doubt that I will not dip again; though I am and always will be an addict I have tools and brothers in quit that have helped me for one year. I could just pack my bags and leave here and probably could remain quit; but I kind of like it here. I would miss the crazy uncle, the brothers, the lovely sisters and all of the others that are always willing to help a brother out when in need. A simple text, call, post it PM can really mean the difference between a cave and success. I see the path, and like the wonderful life it leads too, I will remain here until I am cured of my addiction. I now desire and honest and clean life, so I can enjoy being a father and husband that offers more good examples than bad; plus I want to have a tongue so later in life if I am blessed I can tell my grand kids stories about the silly shut their parents did.
KTC retirees, admins, mods, members and newbies thank you from the bottom of my heart. I may not be here writing this message if not for all of you,
>Corey<
Well done Marine! Proud to be quit with you all day!
Thank you for giving back. You keep writing and I'll keep reading.
Glad you're here. Rdad said it best: "you've given more than you've taken." Thanks. Congrats on the single digit.
Congratulation Corey! A year is a great accomplishment, but I can promise you more upside ahead! Thank you for all of your help over the past year. You are one of the cigs in this great machine of quit! Enjoy a great day today!
You have awesome quit and moreover you're an inspiring quitter. I'm glad you're here; congratulations.
Freudian slip on my part. Cogs. Not cigs. Lol.
Great job on a year. Keep it going.
Great job brother. I've enjoyed having been quit with you and watching you quit. You have been an inspiration to so many here! Carry on Marine. Need to see a +1 tomorrow morning, ASAP... Always proud to be quit with you another day!
Great job Corey. No one has represented the Ducks like you have. Proud to be in your quit group. Keep rocking.
A year! And I know it was ODAAT, nicely done sir ...
What do I say to you.... It has been a wild ride this past year and I can't think of anyone better to share it with, craziness with group mates caving right before we hit the HOF, the craziness of conducting the November '13 HOF Train, "paddygate" .... what a year brother. Congrats!! 'Cheers' congrats Corey! Nicely done!
Nice job. and thanks for bringing her back.
Another victory for all us quitters to share! Way to be Pinched. That is outstanding Sir! Enjoy your day. You fucking deserve it!
Congrats my friend. That's a hell of an accomplishment. I've always felt stronger for having you in my corner. You've been an inspiration as well as a motivation. See you tomorrow buddy.
One year! The one year mark was huge for me. Congrats Marine. Bravo Zulu!
You. Are. Awesome!
Well Done Sir!!!
Congrats. Well done.
Never again, for any reason. Damn proud of you!
Strength and honor soldier. Congratulations on one year.
Keep killing it Marine! You are a model of how to QLF KTC style! Proud to be quit with you.
I quit with you today and everyday!! I love you describing yourself as an A-hole dipper. Makes me think back to how I would spit on the carpet in a department store and rub it in with my foot, spit between clothes on a clothes rack or behind cans or boxes in a grocery store. Proud we have more respect now. Kdip - Day 2142 You are always an inspiration to me Corey!!!!

Day 380 - 7/29/14
"Reflections of me"
I am an recovering addict, I have been a complete asshole. I trust that time will heal wounds, But it will never return the life I stole.
Though I have done selfless acts, I have also been a bad influence. Anyone who may have looked up to me, Should be aware of the consequence.
When I started it was because of my hero, Whom is no longer here to be proud. Unfortunately all the good die young, I salute you sir as I point my brow to the cloud.
I can only hope that I quit in time, To spare a couple years with my kids. Life is precious and not one of us knows, When everything will hit the skids.
The loss of a loved one strikes deep, Yet the loss of a hero can't be filled. That person you could tell anything, Is no longer here to help you build.
I know life must go on, But damn it is hard. My addiction is fading each day, But I will always be on guard.
My life and family have suffered, But at last enough is enough. Bring it on as I stand my ground, Ready and stubborn, not a cream puff.
I am not here to be a role model, I simply want to be a positive example. Nothing can take this away from me, My first part of life was a sample.
No longer will I be a bumbling, And useless piece of shit. Never again will I be walking around, Looking for a place to spit.
I am not saying I would ever, Take my previous life back. However, never again for any reason, Will I let my quit or life jump off track.
Nothing in my life has ever been easy, That's the life of a sinner I guess. It's time to stop taking life for granted, And start being a real success.

>Day 387 - 8/5/14< This day started out like most...phone goes ape shit from group texts from KTC quitters, I post roll and then shit, shower, shave and head to work. The one key difference today is that my beautiful wife was not laying beside me since I am yet again travelling for work. Then I get to work, deal with some BS drama that my project team is facing for the morning, it's like fucking middle school here from time to time. At least when my own kids argue they are cute and they get the fuck over it later.
Then, I start reading intros on here. Damn we run quite the gambit of people on here, those who give sage advice, those who ignore good advice, those who I am convinced cannot read, and those who give bad advice. However, at times even bad advice is better than not responding at all. All in all if a quitter really wants to be quit it doesn't matter what any of us say to them, they have made up their mind and they will quit. Those who rebuttal or respond negatively to advice are either way in the fog or just don't get it. Sometimes it is hard to get it because your body and mind have been changed by years or nicotine abuse. Typically those of us who offer the advice are opening a door to what our quit experiences have been.
Just like any other invitation you receive from others, learn how to see an open door and a person who is there to support you. This war against nicotine is not easy, if it was none of us would be here. I learned early on that I could not quit without KTC. I have a very loving and supportive spouse and she is there for me, but she doesn't get it. I needed a veteran, I needed people that want to hold me accountable, I needed a guide. I still need them too, not every day but there are still times when I need that text, or that call from another quitter. You will also find that like me you need those people too.
So, the next time you decide that you are going to light someone up for calling you on your bullshit, think about it and decide who is being the bigger asshole and who is being the bigger man. I didn't come here to make friends, but oddly enough I have met many brothers and sisters here.
The ball is in your court everyday, now you decide if you are going to punt or go the extra yard,
>P<

Well said pinched. In closing, you had mentinoed that the ball is in my court & that I have the option to punt or go the extra yard. Since I am a Chargers fan though I'm not quite sure I'm tracking on what going the "extra yard" looks like so can I punt it back over to you but still be nicotine free? 'Crazy'

Just a few days away from 400 and more reflecting today due to the posts from others has helped me recall a few things from my quit that through KTC that have helped me stay here, made me consider leaving here and ultimately helped me drive my own quit daily...still to this day.
Early in my quit I had some asshole in chat, not a comedic or funny asshole but yeah a real asshole whom I wanted to plant in the ground. In the mix of my wanting to hand that person their ass, out of no where comes a veteran quitter, who reminds me that some people are just stupid. Thanks Biscut
I later got asked out for my first ever quitter meetup. Sounds gay but I was nervous at first, meeting some dude through a website, wondering if I was going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a note for me to call 9-1-1 later. Turns out the Jason didn't need my kidneys but was a really cool guy. I was two days away from hitting my HOF and he hands me his coin; that he had carried in his pocket for every day since his HOF (no pressure). Thanks Jason
Around the same time I had a fellow quitter that mistook emotional support for my saying "yeah sure dude I will send you money", don't get me wrong help when and how you can but damn...did I mention that he later caved as well? Not mentioning this one's name but most will remember "Pinched Savings and Loan"
Another quitter whom was seeming quiet and reserved reached out to me one day to ask if I was "OK". He asked not because I was writing about raging or having issues but because I was posting the minimum ">Pinched< - 395", not having more to say than that. At first I was caught off guard (note probably because I was a volatile asshole), but I responded with yeah thank you I am. As it turns out he selectively does that when he thinks a quitter needs either reached or a reach around...Thanks Derek.
I later met another quitter from Denver, awesome dude, easy to talk to and has now become the KTC whore. He helped me meet other Denver quitters and since we try to meet as often as we can. Thanks Brett, Tony & Rand
Another couple of quitters latched on to me immediately and have been a couple of my soothsayers when I need help. Thanks NOLAQ & SFGE - Semper Fi
Chat in another area of the site that has helped me meet many other great quitters that are awesome supporters. Depending on your mood there is always someone in there to help lighten the room. Thanks KDip, Tarpon, Frannie, 224, Suds, iziPhilister, P23, KKLIINC, MN_Ben, Bronc, Marcus Arielius, Derek, and many other countless quitters I have chatted with or laughed at while in chat.
There are also those few people that just seem to get it at the right times or can also call you on bullshit that make it again worth being here. Thanks Derk, Duathman, RacetrackCowgirl, B-Lo-Matt, CBird, Worktowin, Traumagnet, Diesel, Syndrome, WMCatty, Scowick, Bean, Eric from Pitt, AppleJack, DiplessInJax, Buck, SamCat, Mule, Corn, Dougie, gmann, and even more that I know I am missing.
Then the status quo of your original quit group the OG Duck Fips that were there with you daily as you were oblivious to the big picture of all KTC being one group. Without these guys there is no way in hell I would be here today; no ifs, ands or buts about it: JLud, Dagranger, Minny, J-Rod, Boomer Sooner, Paradigm Dawg, Fightin Ignorance, Felcie, NSG, Wozman, Brandt, Callaway...just wish they were all still here. None the less my quit is safe as I continue to post roll.
Then there was that month of being a conductor, holy shit Jeff and I had our hands full but we did it. Those of you from November that are still here it is great to see all of you hitting one year and sticking it out: BearHawk, Midwest, Construction 24-7, Mike form AB
Then there are always those people that you know are there to support you or better yet put a foot in your ass if you decide to fade away, beyond all of the above people are: Rdad, DocChewFree, GrizzlyhasClaws, jPine, klark and hopefully every single person here who has ben barked at or jumped on for caving or just plain doing something stupid. I myself speak my mind and quite freely, I do that not to be an asshole but because it is my personality. Plus it goes back to my favorite quote "I am weaving a web of accountability so big that if I cave there will be a line of people ready to hand me my ass".
I stick around here because it works, and yeah there is always seemingly drama about different shit on different days but in my honest opinion anytime that you throw Cessation, Addiction, Political Stances, Religious Beliefs, an Adult Chatroom, Raging Hormones and a handful of Crazies into a blender you are always going to wind up with some kind of tumultuous times and perhaps even a bad taste from time to time. Why I am coming back tomorrow though is because today alone at least one quitter did something that made me smile. Either they helped out a brother or sister, gave great advice, told me a funny joke or the avatar is worth looking at again. At this point the business agenda or perceptions of an agenda behind the scenes at KTC so be it. I help run a business in the real world and I "get it", so until someone asks me to pay a cover charge or tells me I have to pay a fee per post (retroactively even) I will be back.
To all the Mods & Admins, keep on doing what your doing. If you can make a $1,000,000.00 dollars or $1.00 off of things then I say have at it, because KTC has helped me quit. PERIOD!

Then there was that month of being a conductor, holy shit Jeff and I had our hands full but we did it. Those of you from November that are still here it is great to see all of you hitting one year and sticking it out: BearHawk, Midwest, Construction 24-7, Mike form AB
Then there are always those people that you know are there to support you or better yet put a foot in your ass if you decide to fade away, beyond all of the above people are: Rdad, DocChewFree, GrizzlyhasClaws, jPine, klark and hopefully every single person here who has ben barked at or jumped on for caving or just plain doing something stupid. I myself speak my mind and quite freely, I do that not to be an asshole but because it is my personality. Plus it goes back to my favorite quote "I am weaving a web of accountability so big that if I cave there will be a line of people ready to hand me my ass".
I stick around here because it works, and yeah there is always seemingly drama about different shit on different days but in my honest opinion anytime that you throw Cessation, Addiction, Political Stances, Religious Beliefs, an Adult Chatroom, Raging Hormones and a handful of Crazies into a blender you are always going to wind up with some kind of tumultuous times and perhaps even a bad taste from time to time. Why I am coming back tomorrow though is because today alone at least one quitter did something that made me smile. Either they helped out a brother or sister, gave great advice, told me a funny joke or the avatar is worth looking at again. At this point the business agenda or perceptions of an agenda behind the scenes at KTC so be it. I help run a business in the real world and I "get it", so until someone asks me to pay a cover charge or tells me I have to pay a fee per post (retroactively even) I will be back.
To all the Mods & Admins, keep on doing what your doing. If you can make a $1,000,000.00 dollars or $1.00 off of things then I say have at it, because KTC has helped me quit. PERIOD!

Just a few days away from 400 and more reflecting today due to the posts from others has helped me recall a few things from my quit that through KTC that have helped me stay here, made me consider leaving here and ultimately helped me drive my own quit daily...still to this day.
Early in my quit I had some asshole in chat, not a comedic or funny asshole but yeah a real asshole whom I wanted to plant in the ground. In the mix of my wanting to hand that person their ass, out of no where comes a veteran quitter, who reminds me that some people are just stupid. Thanks Biscut
I later got asked out for my first ever quitter meetup. Sounds gay but I was nervous at first, meeting some dude through a website, wondering if I was going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a note for me to call 9-1-1 later. Turns out the Jason didn't need my kidneys but was a really cool guy. I was two days away from hitting my HOF and he hands me his coin; that he had carried in his pocket for every day since his HOF (no pressure). Thanks Jason
Around the same time I had a fellow quitter that mistook emotional support for my saying "yeah sure dude I will send you money", don't get me wrong help when and how you can but damn...did I mention that he later caved as well? Not mentioning this one's name but most will remember "Pinched Savings and Loan"
Another quitter whom was seeming quiet and reserved reached out to me one day to ask if I was "OK". He asked not because I was writing about raging or having issues but because I was posting the minimum ">Pinched< - 395", not having more to say than that. At first I was caught off guard (note probably because I was a volatile asshole), but I responded with yeah thank you I am. As it turns out he selectively does that when he thinks a quitter needs either reached or a reach around...Thanks Derek.
I later met another quitter from Denver, awesome dude, easy to talk to and has now become the KTC whore. He helped me meet other Denver quitters and since we try to meet as often as we can. Thanks Brett, Tony & Rand
Another couple of quitters latched on to me immediately and have been a couple of my soothsayers when I need help. Thanks NOLAQ & SFGE - Semper Fi
Chat in another area of the site that has helped me meet many other great quitters that are awesome supporters. Depending on your mood there is always someone in there to help lighten the room. Thanks KDip, Tarpon, Frannie, 224, Suds, iziPhilister, P23, KKLIINC, MN_Ben, Bronc, Marcus Arielius, Derek, and many other countless quitters I have chatted with or laughed at while in chat.
There are also those few people that just seem to get it at the right times or can also call you on bullshit that make it again worth being here. Thanks Derk, Duathman, RacetrackCowgirl, B-Lo-Matt, CBird, Worktowin, Traumagnet, Diesel, Syndrome, WMCatty, Scowick, Bean, Eric from Pitt, AppleJack, DiplessInJax, Buck, SamCat, Mule, Corn, Dougie, gmann, and even more that I know I am missing.
Then the status quo of your original quit group the OG Duck Fips that were there with you daily as you were oblivious to the big picture of all KTC being one group. Without these guys there is no way in hell I would be here today; no ifs, ands or buts about it: JLud, Dagranger, Minny, J-Rod, Boomer Sooner, Paradigm Dawg, Fightin Ignorance, Felcie, NSG, Wozman, Brandt, Callaway...just wish they were all still here.

Don't think that the like button is enough. well stated on your reflection my friend. My friend, and I'm happy to call you my friend, thanks for what you've done for my quit. I'm glad you stuck around for your almost 400 days. I'm thankful for the jogging chick avatar and now the easter egg avatar. I'm thankful that I've got to watch you help quitter after quitter get signed up on the site from the time they bumbled into the chat room. I'm grateful that you've taken the time to post your thoughts and feelings on various pages throughout the site. You have never been a guy that has taken and left the rest. No, you received a gift with honor and humility and added to the collective pool so others could receive this gift of quit too. For you, I give you the Poon Saloon Salute - BAM! Right in the ass!

"This is not a try and try again system." ~ Duathman “Until you want to quit as badly as you wanted to breathe, you’ll never be successful. It has to be the single most important thing in your life to the exclusion of all other distractions. When you can achieve that, you will not only be quit, you will remain quit.” “If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin.” - Ivan Turgenev
