Day 54 this sucks

I am helping my brother move after his wife left him.....

He had finally beat his alcoholism and then she left him

:angry:

Not sure about life sometimes

Stay quit guys and always remember QUIT FOR YOURSELF! NO ONE ELSE!

Grizz, sorry to hear that.

It may suck to close a chapter...maybe it needs to close because the next chapter is going to be awesome. There has to be a positive there. If only hope for a new beginning?

Hey Grizz,
  Congrats on making 50, dude.  Must feel great.  I'm quit with you today.

That's cool grizz! Happy Hump day.

Thanks guys!

I like knowing I am going into this battle with some kickass quiters!!

Post it Live it Remember it!!!!

You should celebrate. We are supposed to be celebrating milestones, even little ones. I haven't because of the "busyness" of life but wow, 50 days is big and you deserve to reward yourself somehow.

Anyone celebrating milestones yet? If so, how? Looking for suggestions.

I am rewarding myself with a good evening well spent with my awesome kids knowing they will have their dad around for awhile longer!

I know it may sound dumb but the encouragement from them has been off the charts!

Makes me one very happy dad thats for sure!

Quit on quiters!!!!!

Grizz, congrats on making the 50 brother!! Half way to the HOF, awesome job so far man!! You got one bad ass quit going on, keep up the good work..!!

Day 49....

I have had a thought this morning and well I wanted to put it down so I can come back and read it when things start taking a turn for the worse.....

I have stayed quit for 49 days and crossed these hurdles without caving....


-went to work everyday at a job I really dont like
-watched and coached my youngest sons wrestling matches
-watched my oldest sons basketball games and tournaments where the games were stacked against them and not to mention the parents  officials were awful
-went on 2 long trips
-drank some beer got buzzed and almost to the point of drunkenness
-had meetings with my boss who is impossible on the best days
-had meetings in my newly appointed public arena job
-had arguments and discussions with my in-laws
-had arguments with my wife
-had disagreements with my oldest daughter
-had ridiculous road rage incidents that did not include me in the rage

These are just a few of ther hurddles I feel very proud of crossing, some of these are very minor and truthfully almost all of them are.

The best thing for me and my quit is to stay near this site and read, rage, or post!

I find lots of good calming energy from being at on or near this site mainly cause if I am thinking it or if I am pissed about it there is always someone who also has had the same issue or dealt with the same issue and for me that takes my rage from a 10 down to a 2 and makes me a much more level person!

I doubt if these words will help anyone except for me but if they do just realize guys you are here for a reason, the reasons dont always show themselves right away but stay strong and stay active and good things will follow.

Some words that help me thru the day:

Nothing easy is ever worth having!

Stay the course and continue to move forward!

Be diligent and commited never have your word in doubt!

Good post Grizz25. Count life's little triumps.
I quit with you today. We are all here for the same reasons.

Very good post and yes, it helped me. Congrats on 50 - good quitting and I quit with you today sir.

Awesome!!- I count these as WINS and adding another layer on top of my quit foundation- Keep building your quit confidence but never forget Day 1
Keep it up and stay quit!

Captains log....Day 44.....

Somedays I think my quit has turned me into a rat with some slight does of A.D.D. .......

I have many times a day where I leave my office only to make a very quick walk thru my shop and come right back and sit at my office not even remembering why I got up in the first place..... 'Crazy'

I have also noticed how I now just blurp out whatever is on my mind..... sometimes its ok and well sometimes not......

Take for instance earlier today, we had a female sales rep come into the office and well she has always been easy on the eyes as well as one of those cool chicks that can talk buisness and trucks without getting all prissy!

anyway....

She comes walking in and wouldnt you know it she is 4 months pregnant!!!! The first words out of my mouth were......"Its not mine!!!!" :wacko:

Now that might not seem like it was in to bad of company but the President of my company was also walking in with her! That made for one slighlty awkward funny embarassing situation.

This seems to be happening more and more and I notice between my running around my office shop and house with what on somedays seems like an enormous amount of energy, I have had more instances where I for no reason just blurp out stuff that should be kept to my inner monolouge.....

I have had these types of issues in past stopages but it is never this late into the process usually its the first week where I am fighting the urges and well just flat pissed at everyone I would come into contact with.

I was wondering if anyone else has had these types of issues, either the Partial A.D.D. or just the lack of inner monolouge 'Crazy'

I know what you're talking about. I thought the joke was funny. For me it is little annoyances. I think my son just wants to talk to me. I don't mind talking. However, he opens the fridge pulls out a potato in tin-foil. He says, what is this, its warm. I look at him and say, "its a hot dog son" He say's, "why are you so mad" I said, "I'm not mad, its just that I don't know why you ask questions that you already know the answer to."

He walks off and I wonder, why did I say that, act that way? In my head still...I don't know why he would hold up a baked potato and ask me what it was?

Oh and I hate the weather men. Why is local news so focused on the weather. If it is news worthy, talk about the weather. If it isn't...go to sports. (I have actually conversation with my T.V. I yell at the weather men. My wife thinks it is hilarious.)

BTW, I love your posts. They really help me too. :asskiss:

Its just strange 'zombie' crazy shit ......... 'Crazy'
