Popular Post Jedi Posted November 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2023 100 days ago I was just like everyone else when they arrived. A pathetic slave. Chomping away day in and day out getting my fix. 100 days ago I made a decision like all of those here before me. To change. To quit being a slave. To take back control of my life and to quit putting cancer into my body. 100 days ago I found QD. I didn’t understand a fucking thing when I first joined. I didn’t even know what I didn’t know. I just knew I needed to post my daily number but I didn’t understand anything else. The more I was on the site the more power I felt to combat my withdrawals though so I just kept logging in and reading. But it still wasn’t enough. I still struggled even after the fog was lifted. I was missing something. Then about two weeks into my quit I was made aware that I wasn’t doing enough. See, I was missing the second piece of the puzzle. I was present, I was posting scroll, but I wasn’t engaging and becoming a part of the brotherhood. Once that was made clear to me, I saw the full picture. I became truly powerful. No more struggling. In that moment of clarity I understood this place and knew I wanted to be here indefinitely. I didn’t just buy in on QD, I became a lifetime subscriber. What is Quit to me? Quit is more than just not using nicotine. Quit is freedom. Quit is a mindset. It’s knowing that you’ll never use nicotine again under any circumstance and being fucking proud knowing that. Quit will also open your eyes to all the things you’ve missed out on and all the things you get to start being a part of again. Being quit has changed me. It has reprogrammed my thinking. What started with me just being tired of dipping has evolved into a mentality of “fuck nicotine” always present in my mind. I rarely think of dipping anymore but if I do it will always get the mental middle finger. Just 100 days quit? Nah. I'm not just quit up to my day count. I’m quit for life; those days just haven’t gotten here yet. What’s 100 compared to forever? The number on my scroll only compliments my quit. It’s a promise to my brothers and myself that I will never touch that shit ever again. NAFAR. So, what now? Now that I’ve reached my first checkpoint, will QD be an unwanted remembrance of my old life every time I log in and bring me down? Fuck No. This place isn’t a penance, it’s a fucking privilege to be here. It’s an honor to continue carrying the quit torch and to be here to help light someone else’s down the road. For those who join this site behind me and are undecided or struggling, it’s time to make a decision. You CAN do this. Many have done it before you, many will do it after you. What one man can do, another can do. You just have to take that first step and change your mind. Change your mind and it will change your life. Change the way you view nicotine and the decision will already be made. It’s that simple. But you have to want it. I mean really want it. You have to want to be quit more than you want to breathe, or you won’t make it. You have to put quit above all else. Above everything. It needs to be the most important thing in your life. Bottom line: Either you can be the end of nicotine or nicotine can be the end of you. That plant causes CANCER. Fuck around and find out. Thank you to all my brothers here at QD that have helped guide me, correct me, and build me up to the quitter I am today. You’ll never know just how much you mean to me. I vow to continue adding to my quit layers, to build relationships with you all, and to meet you in person. I’m proud to be quit with you all this day and every day for the rest of my days. The quit is always with me. May the quit be with you. -Jedi 13 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
