Just have to come on here and document the last 1-2 weeks after HOF. It's not been a cake walk. Headache today in fact, and just feeling out of sorts this past week. No real strong cravings that are causing me to jeopardize my quit, but just feeling kinda of in the fog again. Hopefully will climb out of this soon. It sure helps to get on KTC, and talk it out with the other BAQ's. Could imagine being at day 125 alone.

PS. still need to post my HOF speech. I know i have been busy with work/life, but need to take the time to put some words down.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Just read this intro for the first time - great journey Cycleman; a century ride you've been waiting way too long for. Congratulations! Hang on tight because the ride gets better and more exciting from here.

Quote from: Cycleman
I have come to understand that the nic bitch is a lot like Satan. Satan like's to attack those that are strong (BAQ's) and have a firm belief in God (THE QUIT), as Satan know's that if he can knock you down, he will keep you from making more disciples (QUITTERS).

one day before my HOF, my 16 year old decides to exercise that teenage attitude that everything revolves around me...i am my own universe. As any good parent would do, we step in swiftly with consequence as well as try to use this as a teachable moment Not so easy this time, what ensues is an irrational child going way to far to push mom and dads buttons, and not take ownership for their behavior. To the point where Dad has to remove himself from the situation or he may blow a gasket. Prior to my quit i would retreat into my man cave, and stuff my face with my cancer causing pacifier.....thinking that the nic bitch will make it all better.

It has been before my quit that i have had to endure a situation like this with one of my kids. Today I retreated to my man cave...and had to calm myself another way.....by going to my intro page and writing this out.

I'm all good now, but man was i tested today....the day before my HOF....NOT TODAY YOU BITCH!
Cycle....I just read your entire welcome thread. I am quit with you. Tomorrow is your day brother. Remember it forever, cuz you are never, ever going to be a slave again. Friend me on Facebook (I am Steve Moroski)

FUCK....I. LOVE.THIS.

quit with you today and tomorrow on our big day!!
Quit 04.02.2012 --- HOF 07.11.2012 --- 5 Years 04.02.2017

Now I am the Voice. I will LEAD, not follow. I will BELIEVE, not doubt. I will CREATE, not destroy. I am a Force for God. I am a Leader.

Defy the odds. Set a new standard. STEP UP!

You are killing the quit!
Thumblewort and Stanger, your support and comments mean a lot....muchas gracias

like many things in my life, when i want something I'm going to give 150% ...dipping was in that category unfortunately ..I guess you could say i have that addictive personality. Thank God i am through the worst of it. Now i can harness that same effort and put the "pedal to the medal" on my quit....fortify my position.....build my barriers....by using ALL the tools here at KTC, building my support network, so that Nic bitch never even makes it onto my lawn.

Had the pleasure of getting together with FishFlorida today for a great cuban lunch with an Italian, thief, waitress....only in S. Florida. Fish and i have businesses that are within 5 miles of each other, so we were long overdue.

Enjoyed getting to know you better Fish and learning that we have a lot in common. Thanks again for taking an active role in my quit.....your a scholar and a gentleman. Enjoyed the tour of your facility too...very fascinating.

Looking forward to our next get together....hopefully it will be on the water, wetting some lines.
Meeting others here really solidifies our quits. No one wants to meet cavers. You're doing great. Keep posting here and keep inspiring others. :)

I remember going through some very similar feelings around that time. Keep it up Cycleman! The nic bitch might never totally leave you alone, but I can guarantee she gets much quieter and easier to beat every time.
pky thanks for the encouraging words my friend. Without all the encouragement and support from everyone, this would be a very lonely and dark battle. Grateful for you all
