Title: First and Only Quit
Post by: Maddog59 on April 20, 2016, 01:57:00 PM
Today I am quit 71 days and doing fairly well. I have dipped for over 35 years and this is my first time quitting. To be honest, I never had an interest in quitting. I defended the poison to the end. My original reason for quitting was giving it up for Lent, hence the 2/10 quit date. After Lent was over I decided to stay quit for several reasons. My daughter is a 4th year medical student who is going to specialize in Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) and I didn't want to be her first patient and another is because of KTC. The support here has been incredible. The quit has had its ups and downs but every time I needed a lift I found it here. Thanks to so many awesome people in KTC that have helped me get this far. My May 16 group is also incredible. Looking forward to my HOF soon. Thanks KTC!!!!

It's amazing how we build a life around a poison. You must be very proud of your daughter and I bet she is very proud of your quit.

100%. Insane how we adjust our schedule around, spend exorbitant sums of money on, and put above loved ones something that could end up killing us..

Only 1 explanation.. Hello, my name is Josh. And I am an addict.

Proud to quit with you today MadDog!

Day 86 and the quit goes on. I think I have been confusing the "fog" for cravings. I thought I was having severe cravings but I think that it is actually fog. Seems last week and a half or so the fog has intensified. I hear that is normal so I am dealing with it and not letting it get the best of me.

I am getting on that train no matter what!!!

Your doing great man. There are still some bumps in the road ahead( the 120's) but nothing like anything you have dealt with already. I still use the very very occasional fake but honestly I could get by without it. Just keep racking up those +1s!

Congrats man, I just joined KTC recently and am a 3rd year medical student. I just wanted to let you know that your daughter is a fucking rockstar if she's going into ENT. I'm just praying I'll get a degree at the end of this thing, ENT is competitive as hell! I'm sure you are really proud of her, just like we are all proud of you for reaching the HOF... I'll see you there in 85 days!
