New Quitter

[SirDerek]

Day 146 - 12/7/13

Woke up at 0330 to piss and realized that the house was without power; damn kids have relocated every flashlight in the house.

Locate flashlights and candles, proceed to piss.  Nuts are freezing, so I go light fire in fireplace.  It is 6 degrees outside and colder than a witch's tit inside.

Get fire rolling and the next thing I do is post roll.  So unless you can give me a better excuse on why you didn't post roll fuck off.  I may not get to all my groups first thing this AM but know boys and girls I am quit with you however "powerless" right now.

You say powerless,, i say powerful quitter bro. I'll be quit with you all day. ;)

Stay warm bud -

and yes for those who have lost power, call/text on your cell. Get your promise out there (also let us know how you all are coming through this ice).

Day 145 - 12/6/13
Why should I care?

Why do I get upset when a quit brother drifts or disappears?
Why do I spend so much time on here?
Why do I feel obligated to let other people I have never met know how their piss poor decisions have affected me?
Why do I constantly reach out to new and veteran quitters?
Why do I give advice to random strangers?
Why do I reflect upon my own quit every day before I post roll?
Why do I post in so many fucking places on this site?

Fuck that, why don't you?

I do all of this shit because at least one person did it for me. You want to see brotherhood, you want to know the ABCs of quit? Read through my thread some time. I have only met a couple of fellow quitters face to face so far. I have a supportive family, many Marine brothers, some of the best friends a guy could ask for, yet I needed KTC. I didn't know I did but every day that need, that bond, that net grows.

I have strung a web of accountability in here so deep that if I disappear I know there will be a damned manhunt for me. The big difference between me and many of the recent cavers are that I haven't taken a break from KTC. Guess what I am not going to either.

Last night I read through a great cave story in a thread from a man that I looked up to early in my quit. Well guess what he fucked up and is restarting the clock. Then in my own group I have seen other quitters fall, thank goodness one of my early on quit brothers returned from the abyss today and is still quit (love you Matt but you did scare the fuck out of me, and had me ready for a road trip to Ohio). Then last night a quitter who is well into his quit since hitting the HOF in 2011 texted me saying thanks. I stared at that text wondering just what the fuck I did to deserve that. How could I at day 144 help him?

It's really that simple newbs, come post roll in your group, look around and pick one person and send them a PM, get to know them. Ask them why they stick around, why in the fuck after 1,000, or 2,000 or more days do you continue to do this.

I guarantee you will hear because it works. Look at the cavers we have had they did the fucking minimum and then faded. If you want to gamble with your life have fun boys and girls. I refuse to lose and big tobacco can kiss my white ass because they will never ever get a dime from me again.

Take the time this day, this weekend, this month to say hello, make a new friend, it just might save your life. Hell it might even strengthen other parts of your life too.

So you think your quit? I say flex your quit muscle and help someone other than yourself today.

Day 141 - 12/2/13

Made it through hunting turkey on Wednesday, cleaning, prepping and frying said turkey, cooking on Thursday, bearing all my in-laws and their two cents.  Got my truck back on Friday only to find that the new transmission was great, but the passenger side front hub assembly has a shot bearing, fuck me and no Trauma, Jake and Erussel I am not going to start driving anything other than my Ford.  This fucking thing might be a money pit lately, but it is my money pit not the bank's and I like that.  Plus the heated tailgate makes for cozy pushing. :D

Saturday I put up Xmas lights, Sunday I can't raked more leaves than I have ever seen on my trees.  i had tons of shit dropped on me at work today because other people cant shouldre their own load.  Then I come home and see tire tracks in my yard from fucking landscaper that decided it was easier to suck up curbside leaves by parking in my yard.  Great fucking plan assclowns, until you realize that I have a lawn irrigation system... 'bang head'

I had more reasons to fall back into old habits and slip into a cave like other vagicavers have done recently, but I remembered that I made my promise early this morning and gave my word to all of you.  So in lieu of rubbing vagisil all over the inside on my lip and gums, I popped the top on a beer, sat in my chair and smiled because I am quit.  So Nic Bitch you can lick my nuts, I am through with your ass today.  I will let life happen, and when I gets real bad I will log on here, or I will directly call one of the many supporters I have here.  I now they will be there for me as I will be for them.

Fuck You,

Shitty stretch, but I didn't read one reason to fall back into old habbits.

Yea that's the attitude right there bro, the more shit I endure in a day the happier I am to be quit! I enjoy your quit, it is strong and inspiring. Erussell 219.

[ParadigmDawg]

Let me first say that I really like how you look in that pink shirt as you run, you are one sexy Marine.

Sounds like a little life was thrown at you and you got through it. Win.

Good to be quit with you Brother!

Had a similarly frustrating holiday weekend. Wife volunteered Thanksgiving dinner at our house. What a way to turn a holiday into a stress day. Went to get new tires next day since sears was having a great deal. They said it should only take an hour but drove out about 5 hours later. Went to put Xmas lights up yesterday and literally every strand had huge sections out on those supposed staylit lights. All huge triggers and activities I previously associated with dips. Made it through which only makes us stronger in our quit. We are all scared of those scenarios we don't know if we can handle. We can if we take them one at a time with the help of our fellow quitters. We are in this together.

Day 137 - 11/28/13 - Thanksgiving Day

Yesterday I shot two Tom Turkeys both over 9" beards.  Picked up my boys around 11:00 and we drove to the hunting property, killed the birds, cleaned he birds and then drove home and started the prep for them to be cooked tomorrow (today).  I later got my truck back from the mechanic still with my boys.  My youngest son mentioned how nice it was to watch me clean a turkey without spitting on the floor...that little 40# turd almost turned his dad into a blubbering mess.  Damn I must have even looked like an idiot to him at the ripe age of 7.  After that I wrapped my day up filling out forms for a new physician, I ally can I check the non-smoker box "officially".  Yes I was the dickhead that always checked no and wrote in smokeless user like I was proud to not be a smoker and prouder to be a dipper.  What a fucking dick!

That day ended with a 2 hour drive by myself so lots of reflection.  I got a text from my oldest while driving that said "I am thankful for you this year dad";  damn these boys are plotting against me or something...

All this wrapped up my day considering what I am thankful for.  I am most thankful for KTC this year.  Never would I have imagined that I would be where I am today.  Would I freely offer my number to complete and random strangers, pour my hear out on line to a group of "strangers", would I drop what I was doing to go meet a quitter or return a text from a person I have never met.  I did the minimum early in my quit.  Then I got served a large dose of the Kool-Aid in chat, then got verbally fucked by Suds, fucked with by Phil, muted by FranPro or Tarpon because they could, enlightened by kDip, knighted by Derek, questioned by a noob, encouraged by Cindy, or talked out of letting someone know what I really wanted to say to them by Bis-Cut.  A couple of you I have met in person, a few more I hope to. 

If not for all of those veterans who walked their quit trail before me would I have these tools at my fingertips.  We all owe you everything.  Then there are the newbies...well boys and girls you may not yet notice it but when you come in here and say that stupid shit that gets said, well you reminded at least one quitter that they were you once.  That reminds us that we too were weak, and frankly still are.  It may take some time for you to open up fully.  Please just understand that all of us are quitters and we all do this shit one day at a time. 

Thank you ALL KTC,
