BAT Says… Have a Plan

Hello, new quitters…

You don’t see me on here too often.  I am in the point of my quit (almost 2 years now – 708 days) where I check-in periodically.  Some of you will get to the same point.  Others will be more involved, continuing to post daily, maybe even becoming moderators or admin.  Unfortunately, some of you will not make it to 100 days, let alone 2 years.

Know this – HAVE A PLAN!  If you stick to the plan, then you WILL make it as far as you want.  There has yet to be a post that starts “….I felt like caving, so I called (insert fellow quitter’s name here), followed the rest of my plan (whatever that is), and still caved……”  BE BIGGER THAN THE URGE – your family, friends, and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, you deserve that.

I just found out that my best friend has throat cancer.  He is 40 years old, and is a “part-time” chewer.  He would often go 6+ months without a chew.  Oddly enough, he is the one that introduced me to Kodiak.  I am in a bit of a haze right now, trying to process what I have just learned.  While I do, I felt it important to let you new quitters know that THIS SHIT IS NO JOKE!  It will kill you without hesitation.  It will control you, own you, and eventually destroy you.

Stay strong to your quits.  If any of you need another number, PM me  it’s yours.

Very Truly Yours,

BAT
