People with a quit date of 9/24/2006 - 10/24/2006, this is your Quit Group.

Post #2000

I was walking to my truck after work today and I was thinking "whats the big deal about 2000 posts?". At first I said nothing, of course, but then I looked a little deeper. No huge revelation popped out at me except the fact that for me to stay dip free I had to get involved with my group. I tried hanging back like fadowdow, joe, blangford, carwashing and whoever else I am forgetting. I am not geared like those guys. How they have made 250+ days with less than 200 posts is beyond me. More power to them. I caved about 3 times before hitting the LTQ (who chose that fucking name anyway?) and I was willing to try something different - becoming accountable. Before hitting the LTQ I had never called a brother and asked for help, I would just cave. Over the last few months I have made a few true friendships that I cherish as much as my "real" friends. I know that dosn't explain it well - but all of you know what I am saying.

Geo - Always there to get things started every day - thank you
6string - you are the first person I called from the site - thanks for being there
Killer - thanks for the laughs, great times.
Mikey - I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
Joseph - where the hell are you? Bring your chaps and post roll plz.
Mav - I am glad you landed in the LTQ - we need someone smart in here.
Allswell - You keep things interesting, and you scare me a little.
JJC, Xman - You guys keep posting in here where you belong.
DIBS - I am so glad you finally grew a pair of nuts and are giving this thing an honest try - you really crack me up - stick around it gets better.
DNM, Skratty and TBK - thanks for allowing me in your room, it is my second home.

Do I still want to dip? Yep. But fuck it, not today! It truly does get easier to say no.

The LTQ is the best god damn room on the site! I'll fight anyone who says it isn't.

Congratulations on 2000 posts Jason. I remember around our HOF time I actually had passed you in the number of posts. I guess I just don't have much to say anymore. And I'm still quit because of you, but remember, the day that you cave is the day I'm buying me a roll of Copenhagen Black.

I'm ready for a goddamm fight too. This is the weekend I'm trying to move my stuff in to storage so I can move into the new place next Friday. So I rented one of those storage units last week, put a lock on the thing and got my code. So today, my day off, it decides to rain all fucking day, so I spend all that time boxing shit up. Finally in the evening it quits raining. I load up the truck, drive all the way to Midwest City to beat the next round of rain that's coming in and my fucking code don't work. No one answered the 24 hour service. I called the office number no one answers.Then it rains. All my shit gets wet. Mother fuckers. Yes, I'm ready for a fight. I haven't experienced rage like this since day 20. Fuck you.

I'll go last, so I don't ruin it for the rest of ya. ;)

Just a blast from the past from our friend, Gi Kea...

Why this group rocks....one brother not afraid to ask for help, and another brother not afraid to give it.

Trying to look back in the early days (before I was even here), this appears to be the first time "Licensed To Quit" was used in the roll call. There does not appear to be any discussion prior to or after as to making this the official name (though I didn't go through all the days, just a couple before and after). For those that were around back then, is this how we ended up with this name...by default, with no vote or discussion?

Did the name Ass Bandits ever come up?

There was a discussion and general consensus on it. Sorry, no point for litigation here. ;)

Yeah, someone posted it at roll because the new Bond movie was coming out that week and after a general discussion, we thought that was a pretty cool name for the group. Better than Turtle fuckers which was recommended by some asshole.

All right. That was all before I got here. I just never understand why these new groups want to choose a name before they even close up to new members. It leaves some people out of the decision. At least we didn't end up being called "Harry Potter and the Quitters of Azkabam" or some crap like that.

that does have a nice ring to it.

Turtle fuckers are cool!

Junkie, burn-out, addict, drug abuser,
drunk, alcoholic, chew-a-holic
________________________________________


Some people would argue that chew-a-holic is just a cute euphemism which should not be compared to what they consider degrading syndromes. Contrary to this belief, nicotine addiction can be equally as strong and deadly as any of these other conditions. In fact, if you total the number of people who die yearly of all these other conditions combined, they would not add up to the number of premature deaths attributed to chewing and smoking.

Until recent times, the idea of nicotine being a physiologically addictive substance was controversial in the world-wide medical community. For a drug to be considered addictive, it must meet certain criteria. First, it must be capable of inducing physical withdrawal upon cessation. Nicotine abstinence syndrome is a well documented, established fact.

Second, tolerance to the drug usually develops. Increasingly larger doses become necessary to achieve the same desired effects. Chewers experience this phenomenon as their chew consumption gradually increases from what probably was sporadic occasional use to a required daily consumption of one or more cans.

The third criterion is that an addictive substance becomes a totally consuming necessity to its user, usually resulting in what is considered by a society as anti-social behavior. Many have argued that chewing and smoking fail to fulfill this requirement. True, most chewers do not resort to deviant behaviors to maintain their dependency, but this is because most chewers do manage to easily obtain the full complement of chews they need to satisfy the addiction. When chewers are deprived of easy accessibility to chews, the situation is totally different.

During World War II, in concentration camps in Germany, prisoners were not given enough food to fulfill minimum caloric nutritional requirements. They were literally starving to death. A common practice among smoking prisoners was to trade away their scarce supplies of life sustaining food for smokes. Even today, in underdeveloped countries, such as Bangladesh, parents with starving children barter away essential food for smokes. This is not normal behavior.

During the "stop smoking clinics" I conduct, numerous participants admit to going through ashtrays, garbage cans and, if necessary, gutters looking for butts which may still have a salvageable value of a few dips when their own supplies are depleted due to carelessness or unforeseen circumstances. To them, it is sick to think that they ever performed such a grotesque act, but many realize that if they were currently chewing or smoking and again caught in a similar predicament, they would be fully capable of repeating the repulsive incident.

Nicotine is a drug. It is addictive. And if you let it, it can be a killer. Consider this when you get the urge for a chew. One dip can and most often will reinforce the addiction. Don't take that chance.

Man, I thought I was the only one who remembered the turtle fuckers. Actually I think it was the turtle rapists, as suggested by Chewie and inspired by that link.

Made the trip from Atlanta to DC to see my family yesterday. That's a long damn drive. WNSIMM. I think it's going to be nice to have a little time off. Anyhow. I'll porbably be here a lot the next few days, so I'll catch y'all later.
