The Old Man Quits

[DonkeyMN]

Here it is day 98-- I wish I could go on about how much easier it has become to continue this quit. I can't--the fog hits for shorter periods of time (yaaaa!) but the craves- Man there is no change!! They come whenever!! It seems every thing is a "trigger". I know for a fact that my promise each morning is my only hope of staying quit! No stopping now!! HOF- Bring it!! Last couple of days I've been sad, for lack of a more descriptive word. Yes-- SAD!
Today I realized that I am mourning the passing of the person I used to be--even though that person was a slave to Nicotine!! RIP slave-- now GTFOOH!

Don't be sad. Take comfort and pride that the person that you are now, on here, plays a major part in other people's quits. I know you are a big part of mine even though we don't talk that often.

Couldn't be more glad that you joined here, and you are almost to HOF!

I quit with you today LMcB!

Posted by WildIrish May 5,2017-- one of our May quitters has decided to stop posting roll --I think after the HOF train leaves our station---

I see his point
I was going to leave too
Right after my June 2016 group finished boarding the train.
Then there were a few guys in July
that I wanted to stick around and celebrate with.
I had to conduct August onto the train.
Oh, September has a few bad ass quitters.
I had to celebrate with them.
I am leaving though
Right after the celebrations are over.

One reason I celebrate Zeroes EDD!

Ob—observing the hypocrites.
Yeah!
Mingle with the good people we meet.
Yeah!
Good friends we have. Oh.
Good friends we have lost along the way. Yeah!
In this great future you can't forget your past.
So dry your tears, I say.
Yeah..... Marley--No Woman No Cry

cause—'cause—'cause I remember when a we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown,
Ob—observing the hypocrites.
Yeah!
Mingle with the good people we meet.
Yeah!
Good friends we have. Oh.
Good friends we have lost along the way. Yeah!
In this great future you can't forget your past.

Some call it heavenly in its brilliance........(Our May17)
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream........(Outsiders and Others)
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft.......(all of you)
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping........(the clutches of the nicotine slaver)
This is the land where the Pharaoh died......(but the quit freely remains)

I have been using this area as sort of an experimental zone!
Where I can try to create more posts that have---
more color
different sized text
you know
dress it up a bit

I also have kinda created a storage bin for links and "stuff" I like.


There may not be any apparent rhyme or reason.
99!

let us see what this does!

In case you may not know it, we have a TEST THREAD for this very purpose. 'archer'

When you finish, you can either leave it, or erase everything and leave a "poof" behind.

There's also a NotePad section in your "Preferences" link where you can keep notes, links, and whatnot that you don't want to share with the rest of us.

Why do I dislike getting bumped from roll or seeing some one else get bumped???
I don't know--could be because I equate it to being elbowed out of the way by a rude ass line jumper--
-No self respecting redneck is gonna put up with that!!
Not the worst thing in the world just one I don't tolerate well.

This group is getting a bit more quiet, maybe the rage (well except for Mojo) is subsiding and we are left to enjoy each other's company

What the hell are you talking about??We don't rage!! Who the fuck are you coming in here and fuckin telling us what we do......
What??
Oh really?
When?
That much?


Never mind!
here are the 2 responses I have gotten to this post---

Lmfao! Sick em' boy.....Haha....and

I've come to far in this process to say the hec with it.
Gonna keep grinding it out

One gets it the other thinks it suggests some sort of capitulation in his pursuit of the quit! Go figure
I also got one thumbs up-- nobody else got it I guess.
