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.
Later in the day-- a member of our group caved bigger than shit-- weakest excuse ever.. as pathetic as it is to see someone blow off their promise to themselves , their family, and their group, at this point I see nothing gained for us that continue the quit, that warrants anymore energy being devoted to this betrayal. Officially I am done with that.
