Day 138

So I just got home from the C-store.  Needed a single can of beer for my chili.

Guy in front of me is buying typical C-store shit when he asks for a can of Copenhagen WinterGreen Long Cut.  That was my preference of poision.

Anyway, I strike up small talk with the guy...eventually getting to the point of, "You know that shits gonna kill you?"

He agreed that it would, indeed, kill him one day, but not today.

He did say that he's thought of quitting many times.  I asked him, "what's stopping you from quitting?"  Says he will, "eventually quit dipping one day"

Isn't that just about par for the course for an addict.  The lies we told ourselves to make us feel better about continuing our addiction.

I am here quitting with all of you today, ODAAT!

-Jeff
These kinds of interactions will continue to pile up for you and they never stop being meaningful and adding another stone to your foundation. Thanks for sharing your story. A quote you might like on the power of stories.....

“Stories have power. Gleemen’s tales, and bards’ epics, and rumors in the street alike. They stir passions, and change the way men see the world.”

Keep racking up these kinds of wins brother, ODAAT.

“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

I love having those conversations with people out of the blue now. The addict speak is strong and unrelenting. Thanks Jeff for stepping up and all you do.

Day 110

If you happen to stumble across this, it isn't a fluke.  I came across KTC in my search to quit dip. 

What has happened is absolutely amazing.

I have made connections on here with folks who I am damn proud to call friends.

I don't have all the answers, but what I do have is a positive outlet for quitting that shit in your lip.

Post your promise each morning.  Simple concept.  Difficult to execute at times.

When I post my promise to my brothers and sisters of quit, it makes it fucking impossible for me to break my word.

My dad used to say that even if you don't have 2 nickels to rub together, what you do have is your word, and your word is invaluable.

I am fucking quit today, and never going back to being a slave to the can.

I could never do it alone.

Thanks to my KTC family.

-Jeff

Perfectly stated Jeff! Proud to be a FreeBird and quit with you!!

Thanks for the shout out Jeff. 357 magnum is special to me as I remember going squirrel hunting with my dad and that was the gun he used. We were always amazed by his shots but he was a marksman in the Army. He also reloaded his own so we were fascinated as little boys by that. I haven’t seen that gun in 35 years and haven’t seen my dad in almost a year thanks to this genocide from china.
Keep doing what you are doing here on KTC and it is nice to see new people step up and help. You have a special talent and I am so glad to see you utilize it here. We need more people to be involved and not just post and ghost. PTBQWYT
@Thefranks5

Those types of memories are gold!  I can imagine the awe you had watching him fire his .357!

Thanks for the kind words brother!  KTC has provided a great outlet for anyone willing to step up and grab life by the balls!
