100 down, an eternity to go. That’s how I started this journey but not, thankfully, how I’m traveling now. Tomorrow is the big day, the day I reach that first coveted floor and enter the hallowed Hall of Fame. At least, that how I envision it in my head. My … Continue reading
I started this journey well over a year ago when I realized how bad things had really gotten. I used the google machine to type in does dipping cause cancer. You can really get a good laugh as an addict there are some things you do not want to admit. … Continue reading
Here I am at 100 days (well 104 now but who is counting….). The fog is gone, the craves are less. I’m off the jolly ranchers (thank god), and only eat seeds to and from work. I’ve recently got myself back into a consistent work out regimen, running 4-6 days … Continue reading
Hi all, So here I am writing another hall of fame speech. Let me be an example of how even if you pass the 100 day mark, throw dip away for several years, that you are not free from your addiction. It is easy to fall off the wagon, and … Continue reading

I have voluntarily ingested nicotine and all the other goodies that come with big tobacco products for about the last 12 years, prior to toeing the line here at KTC. For much of that time, my can-a-day chewing (or pack-a-day smoking for the first couple of years) was costing me … Continue reading
Here I sit, broken hearted, tried to shi…. wait a second. Oops, other speech. So there I was, on the corner, at truck stops, joe’s bar & grille….I was doing unspeakable things to get my fix. To hide it from my family and coworkers I wouldn’t just put in a … Continue reading
I hate nicotine. It is expensive, it is controlling, it is altering, nicotine destroys your quality of life and the longevity of your life. Why would I ever pay for, and willingly use something that is so awful? Because I’m an addict. I’ve heard people scoff at the notion of … Continue reading
