So Day 99 just so happens to be a monthly poker game that I haven't been to since February (pre-quit). Depending on how I was doing I could go through most of a can on some night, so this was a big trigger night. I talked about it in chat, and had my legs and balls threatened if I caved 1 day before HoF. So I prepped before I went, toothpicks, cell phone, chat in the KTC chat before, plus I told my non-nic business partner who also plays poker about the triggers and such, so he had my back.
It was a light crowd, 23 players, and of course the random draw puts my next to the only dipper in the room. This is a very friendly game, so we all know each other, but karma dictated that I sit next to him. The shit stunk, and I had no issues.
So we get to break, and I'm lamenting with my partner on how bad I suck at poker, and the dude joins our convo. I ask him how much he chews a day, to which he responds "oh, you chew, did you need some?". Before I could refuse, my partner jumps in with "no, he quit a long time ago" ( he knows too well, he went through the first month of hell where I was bitchy to all). So the dude immediately starts hitting me up with questions on how and why. I gave him my card, so if you see another N. MI quitter in the future, it could be him. Mid 30's, 2 kids, Tim is his name.
Call this a testimonial on how KTC works, not only did I not have a crave, I was trying to recruit.
And I really suck at poker.
Congrats on the HOF, I'm sure you will look delicious in your yellow blazer.
Whenever a guy hits a 100 days I go back and read their entire intro. Yours was very very interesting. First of you're a stud and have come a long way. Secondly you got some unnecessary shit from guys who don't know how to read.
The site needs more quitters like you. Guys who face some shit and prevail, rather than dick tuck and bail. I can sense you will be a great asset for future quitters as well.
Also, speaking of Northern Michigan, me and the fam are headed north Wednesday morning to Charlevoix for 4 nights and then hitting Boyne for a night. My kids love water parks...
We may hit Traverse City (cherry festival is over, right?) as well, so if you smell a string odor of quit floating about, it's just me. What does quit smell like? Lavender and Jasmine.
Again, congrats on the HOF!!!
Quit on...
