The Old Man Quits

[lmcb]

Day 1 HOF May1

At some point in the middle of my dipping career I thought dipping was great as well. That it made everything better. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was a slave and that being a slave was doing so much more harm than the illusion of good. At the end I realized how badly things had gotten. I remember just feeling like shit all the time and really feeling disgusted with myself that I couldn't just quit. I couldn't believe that I just kept shoving that shit in my mouth every waking moment even though it was painful. I was so "Ready" to quit. And maybe that right there is why I may have a different perspective. So keep that in mind when you guys are reading anything that I post.

I can also tell you that my quality of life after quitting has probably never been better. And that the benefits of remaining quit may just be incalculable. I don't want to dip anymore. I don't even think about it anymore. It's a non-issue. Even when I'm on this site it's like it's two different things. As crazy as this sounds, I don't associate this site with dipping in the sense that when I'm here I would want a dip. I really don't know why that is, it just is. I will tell you that I come here for a reason. I need to remember that there is something I'm not supposed to do. And coming here does that. Coming here and doing what I do here helps me. It doesn't hurt me in any way. How great is that? And it's free!

Posted by Ready--real good shit here!!

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!

Not bad--needs work for sure--out

Not a good day today. Just found out one of my best friend's 3 year old daughter probably has cancer. She recently started peeing like crazy and drinking water like crazy, so they thought it might be diabetes. But, now they've done an MRI and found a growth on her pituitary gland.

This is what KTC is all about--SST posted this for all of us to see-- because you see-- we are a banded, bonded brotherhood --assembled by chance-- to fight a common enemy--nicotine addiction!
I would not know any of you people if we passed on the street- but here in May17 we "know" exactly who you are. You are the one who helps us and if we are able -we are the one who helps you.

ftfy Edit: Happy birthday!!!! btw. I have two brothers who are older than you.

Looking forward to seeing you board the train. 'Sno'

Late start here on this introduction...

I really do not have a clue as to how this aspect of my quit will progress.
First mistake noted--I said "my quit"-- it is not my quit, It is most definitely OUR quit! We all know this... we sometimes balk at being assisted/helped-- it suggests weakness on our part. Well, the sooner each one of us embraces that weakness and accepts the help that is here at KTC, the better. IMHO (see I am learning Posting lingo).

Here is the personal info section...
born Houston Texas April 29 1948 left Houston area at age 19 and went where ever when ever I felt like it. West coast, Mountain West ......with an occasional stop over back here in Texas. Found a wife , lost her, found another(present wife of 30 yrs).
Went back to college and graduated with BSN Nursing at age 42-- before then construction and oil field 20 yrs.
Adopted some kids (3)- was a foster home for 9.5 years for medical needs children.
We moved back to Tx to our current location for me to complete my degree in Nsg. 26 yrs RN-now retired.

All of my daughters have American Indian heritage- as do I. Small in quantum large in heart. I was raised completely disconnected from our Indian heritage. Taking my kids to powwows got me going--I could feel the songs - they seemed familiar to me --I am wrapped up in Gourd dancing--and I am a member of the Kiowa Tia Piah Society of Carnegie Ok. I was brought into the organization 2 years ago after 14 years attending Gourd Dance.( look it up)
More later-- that brings us up to the present-mostly- sorta.
One thing you will find-- I am prone to yuck it up at times... so be warned.

I'm 2183 days in-- Today is the most important day of my quit-- I am quit with you-- today!

Looks like we have lost 2 people in the last few days--
just fade away-- not much response to help offered--pleas from some....
just gone MIQ after nearly 70+/- days!!
A total waste of good effort by the group.
Oh! You're welcome!
What's that about a door hitting a butt??
Oh well, I don't want to say it but there will be others--Not me--not today.
Old Man--out!

My first URL embedded in a post! A bad ass song to boot. With all the drama last night --I doubt very many took a look at it-- lyrics are very interesting.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you....from the gospel of John

Great start to today-- I finally nudged (pushed?) Brandon6 enough to get him to post roll before the end of the day. He did it today in the morning no less --hope he continues

update-- Hey guys just want to quickly say sorry for doing roll so late the past few days. I have my finals right now so I've been studying nonstop, but I'll be sure to post roll first thing in the morning from now on. Hope you're all doing well.

Brandon
That is the way to do it!
