Quit on Monday

[Notdeadyet]

So today I get the call. From the doctor's office that is.

"We need to schedule you for an appointment with Dr. $%*^. The earliest day we can get you in to see her will be on Monday, September 10th, that is her surgery day."

"But I just needed to follow up with her regarding my ultrasound test"

"Yes well, the doctor said she will have to take a biopsy and she'll explain why when you arrive that day. Is morning or afternoon a better time for you?"

This is NOT some made up shit fellas! This is my fucking life, right here, right now! Just got off the horn with the receptionist and that is the dialogue still playing through my head. Don't know what or how to think, still processing I guess. Fuck it, if it was serious they'd get me in sooner right? Other side of my brain says, if it's not serious, why the fucking biopsy?

In all honesty, I have not been this worked up in my life for a helluva long time. The fact is, when I do not have control over a situation, I get anxious. And right now, I'm anxious as hell. Gonna be doing some serious extra praying from now till then and hope the Good Lord eases my concerns.

Take what you will from this and I know you've all heard plenty worse and read about the tragedies of addictions; just reach out to someone you know who is addicted and tell them how you feel, what thoughts cross your mind now that you are quit and free, and how lucky we all are to live a full life; not a life full of regret.

Peace

i'd be calling them back and demand answers!

Agreed. You need to know what is up.

Call them back and tell them you need to speak to the doctor and ask why a biopsy is necessary.

Went to see the Dr. about 3 weeks ago due to some strange pains and chronic fatigue.  Standard check up you have every 10 years (that was the last time I went to see them), they ordered some blood labs and completed an overall evaluation.  They noticed some swelling in my neck and throat area and could not explain the other symptoms.  So, on to step 2:

Lab results - all normal
Gave me an antibiotic due to swelling in my neck and throat - ran that cycle through, still had swelling afterward.

Follow up appointment with Dr about a week and half ago, they ordered an ultrasound on my neck and throat.

Ultrasound results - I have a clotted cyst in my neck that will require a biopsy.  They said it will either be nothing or really something. 

Talk about fucking anxiety.  Now waiting on the call from the endocrinologist office to get this scheduled and find out the results.

Hang in there man, everything will work out, just remember not to let the bitch back into your life. Keep that coffin shut and in the past.

We will all get through this. Yell if ya need anything

Agree w/Derek. All will be fine, we are with you all the way brother. Stay close to your quit, anxiety only has as much power as you give her. No different from the bitch. And we know you can kick that ass like nobody's business. Same intensity, same support group till we get through it together. Call me if you need me...

X2 brother!

Hey brother just wanted to let you know I am with you just like everyone else. Stay Strong!!! Stay Quit!!!

62 active quits for Oct12 as the new Pre-HOF Nov12 rolls into view.

28 lost quits as lack of honor, integrity, commitment, and intelligence still remain pinned in our view.

How we as a group hold true to our word will go a long way in deciding the overall success of our group. I, for one, will be vigilant in the fight and determined to be accountable to my quit brethren each and every day of this journey.

Proud to be quit you all and keep on QLAFM!

With you till the end! Quit with you today! QLAFM

am all in with you, my armor is on and ready to combat that nic bitch for whenever she appears. I've shoved my sword into her once, I will do it again as I QLAFM.

Madmen forever.

Keep up the determination and resolve brothers you will need it also it serves to inspire and re-energize the vets!!

keep on keeping on!

Hey brother I'm right here with you in the trenches. No matter how shitty it gets we will prevail. Quittin' like a mother fucker!!!

That is the take away for today:

dip + any problem = 2 problems.

dip is a problem. It solves nothing. The notion that it does is merely a lie delivered by our addict brain.

I quit with you today.

30 is right. Nicotine does NOTHING but keep you addicted to Nicotine.

Stay quit no matter what. Freedom is worth fighting for!

I quit with you today!
