Headed to the lease this weekend for my 40th birthday. I had cell service before so this time shouldn't be any different. There's a 100% chance of rain on Saturday but that's why they make 52 horsepower Polaris Ranger 800s. Mud? Yeah ok, whatever. I quit with y'all today.

I've actually always been poetic. The speech won't be anything special but it will have proper grammar and correct spelling. Thank you though.

Great point about yesterday's forum problems - it really had my day out of sync. Having a couple of people to text about it was a lifeline. I wonder of that had anything to do with your dip dream?

It's a great sign of strength that in your dream you went right into the maw of caving and held strong.

You also seem to be getting very poetic lately. Is your HOF speech a sonnet?

Dip dream #2 last night. I was at a truck stop getting diesel and I went in and bought a can. I didn't take a dip though. It was almost like I knew I quit 107 days ago and I just stood there staring at the can until I woke up. Maybe I'm finally going to start dreaming about my quit...but, then again, maybe not. This much is true however, had I not posted my first roll at day 40 and maintained my quit with KTC, I would have caved shortly thereafter. I even doubt I would have made it to day 50. That's the power of this site. Without it you will cave and you will fail. If you don't believe me, ask a caver. You'll never hear one say that they caved while being fully engaged in this site and actively using their contact list is a time of need.

One more thing, this site being down yesterday highlighted how important it is to have offline contacts. Don't be scared, don't be a wuss, give your number out, you big old puss.

If you want to have success killing the can
And live a good long life as a free man,
You have to be strong and own your quit
Including posting daily roll and giving a shit
Because the bitch will always be there
Patiently waiting for you to forget to care
Once you do, she quickly swoops back in
To comfort you with cancer packed in a tin.

One of the perks of not dipping is when you wear a balaclava or a respirator.
Even better when you have to don the mask and it doesn't smell like a cat shit inside it.

Congrats on hitting the HOF!!

Get owning your quit and never lose focus that is the quickest way to cave, which for you is not an option.

You folks give me more strength than anything. Caving is not an option because doing so would not only be a major disappointment for me but an unforgivable assault on my quit family and all of the groups I posted support roll in. Folks that cave really need to think outside themselves before they put in a dip. You're not only screwing yourself but trampling all over the trust and respect you've built up over the days. Never take trust and respect for granted because once you lose them, getting them back is very difficult but not impossible (some of the best quit coaches on here are retreads). To all the folks that read this, do me a favor, if you feel the need to cave please contact someone on KTC first. Don't throw any progress, trust, respect, and most importantly, your life away. Give us the first chance to change your mind.
Thank you.
