You took a lot of shit from Nov. quitters. They lost an honorable man. Welcome to Dec. brother and lets stomp this shit together.

I am T-squared. Rob is my first name. I had 33 days under my belt. I live in Houston and have dipped Copengagen for 24 years. I started at 16. Do the math. It has been a HELL of a ride the last 40 days, particularly the last 5 (see below). I wish it on no one, but just like horses, I figure I better man-up, admit my failures, take the abuse, and get back on the horse. So here I am.................

I have posted part of the thread from my Nov 08 quit group below to help tell the story on why I am back here again.

Hurricane Ike hit us in the teeth.  14 hours of hell.  Still no power.  Went the first 48 hours with no sleep.  There is a crane across the street this morning pulling trees out of the neighbors roof like toothpicks out of a cupcake.  It's like living in Bosnia.  About 2AM I was fighiting the water from rolling in the back door when a transformer blew 20 feet from me.  I ran out of there with the rain pounding and the wind 95+mph in olympic speed.  People in Houston are really hurtin in some areas and unfazed in others. 

The storm was bad, but at 3AM it got nasty.  The tornados hit as the eye passed over downtown.  We never got the eye, just the eyewall, which is the nastiest part. 

That is when it happened.  We were all huddled in the halway at that time.  I grabbed my father-in-law's copenhagen and caved.  33 days gone.  Abuse me as I know you will, but I'll be moving on to another quite group and starting again. 

I apologize, gentlemen.  I must now leave the group and find another.

Well... I hope you realize now that it made nothng better about your situation...

Time to start over man...

wtf were you thinking? That you needed another thing to feel crappy about right now?

'bang head'

What are you going to do when faced with adversity next time? How will this next go-round be different?

Well, I'm sure that the rest of Texas is very grateful. When you put that dip in it surely stopped the winds from blowing and the rain from falling saving countless homes and lives. Please feel free to insert whatever other sarcastic remark you want here.

Bottom line you sent 33 days up the midwest with that storm. There are lots of excuses to cave everyday. Most of the time you don't even have to look very far for them. There is only one reason to stay quit, yourself. Until you realize that, you are only spinning your wheels.

I hope you realize that soon.

The last post is from ksweeney3 and is the gut wrencher. THis one is different because of my frame of mind. In the past I would have taken a week to "get my mind ready" to quit. That week would have turned into a month, and a month into a year. No more. Thank you Bones, ksweeney3, qferret and theo3wood for giving me the resolve to jump back in. I regret having to leave the Nov 08 group. Today, 9/18/08 is new day one.
