Celebrating HOF Day - 100 - 10/22/13
Well it is not often that I can say I am speechless, however right now I sit here typing but the words I have said were already posted for me today. I anxiously waited for a PM to come, grew concerned when I didn't see one. The USMC taught us all that there is always a plan then many back up plans. So when I didn't see anything I wondered if the conductors miss calculated a stop, perhaps you cannot put a Bears fan and a Packers fan on the train the same day.

Then I read ahead and see a note about a guest conductor. I will be damned if Evil_Won himself didn't answer the questions for me. He quit ten months before me,yet was instrumental in my quit. He and I had a couple of beers together and got to know one another for real. For the record he is not an asshole he just has that same affliction I do where you start talking and words come out well formulated but unfiltered. I thought for years and I be my wife will confirm this that the USMC beat the feelings out of us and we left with only one. Well damnit Evil, you hit it brother like a brutal Chicago slapshot!

I would like to thank everyone on here. There is no way that I can list names without leaving someone out. So I slimy say thank you to all. However, like Evil said my Devil Dog brothers from Tun Tavern I owe you much. Veterans that have been beside me every step of the way as all you newbies that have come along. I don't give a damn if you are on day 1 or day 10,000 you inspire me. I do know what Accountability means, you can also bet your ass that if you promise me and you cave I will be on you like white on rice; I expect the same in return.

Today is really special because a long time childhood friend of mine called me today after reading my wife's post on her Facebook (yes I still wear a foil hat and no Facebook) about my 100 days from her eyes. He called me inquired about it and decided while talking to me that he was don as well. We have know one another since the third grade on the Naval base in Pensacola, FL. I met him at a bar, where he went flushed his can and started his quit. I let him know my boots are ready to motivate his quit at anytime.

I have said it before and I will again, get active on this site. It took me about 10 days of fog head roll posting before I truly tasted the KTC kook aide, now I will pour you a glass of it. Weather it is finding similar ground in the forum: for Scouting, Crossfit, exercise, #word posts, random shit, helping in intros or reminiscing in Tun Tavern. Do more than the minimum. Finally, come here to quit. Don't come here looking for anything else than quit.

I make my promise today to all of you that if you can blend anything do so to make your motto. Mins is pretty damn simple. Comes from the backgrounds which have been the bulk of my life and were life learning lessons in themselves.

No quitter gets left behind and be prepared!

P.S. This is not. HOF speech, that will come once I am good and Ready.

Day 96 - 10/18/13
Damn Near Caved DNC

As many have seen the Duck Fips had a caver recently.  This individual was one that I spoke to on a regular basis on the phone through text and everything.  He seemed to need help, and I was there to try.  Asked for more than I wanted to give, especially when stories don't add up.  See I am a retired Marine and I have and always will do what I can for my brothers, within reason.

I thank the lord that I was sitting with another veteran who has proven his quit for over a year.  Had I not be I may have be convinced that a dip would help me.  I also thank God that I have my father and his father's spirit with me.  I know they are smiling down on me now.  "Pop I told your stubborn ass I could quit when I wanted to!"

I have a HOF coin from that Veteran quitter sitting in my night stand waiting for Tuesday 10/22 to roll around.  When that day comes I will place that coin in my pocket and then do the pocket check looking for that thick and beautiful can in lieu of that perpetual pit of worm dirt that I checked for years.

You new quitters take note, your activity on this site is just as critical as the veterans is.  You all help inspire and remind all of us what the early days were like and the veterans share the promise that there is more grass in the quit pasture.  Just remember that in any pasture there is always piles of shit.  Step around or over them, but if you are gonna get dirty dive into the dame thing.

You would not have caved as you have my phone number and I know where the airport is. I would have been there within a couple of hours and as bad ass as you are, I would have ripped both of your lips off if I even suspected they had been up to no good.

I probably would pick up Reaper on the way just so your are easier to hold down.

BSYDNC.... BS You Damn Near Caved

Brother, you are a fighter and you can't be stopped today. You will remain quit.

I know you thought the Veteran Quitter saved you... but I couldn't disagree more. I think you need to look at this a different way. It was your quit plan that saved your ass. You have a multitude of tools at your disposal and you are using every last one of them. It just happened that your quit plan brought you to a visit with a veteran KTC brother on that day. You got to talk thru it in person and that helped you sort thru the issue. That was all YOU though. A weaker man would have left that sit down and bought a can of poison. Not you, Pinched! You stayed quit!

So, what happens when someone is not there to hold your hand. I will tell you... you will do exactly what you have done for the past 96 days. You will do whatever it takes to stay quit and win that day. You will stuff your face with smokey mt, you will pound some seeds, you will do 36 pull ups, you will run 8 miles, you will text or call a fellow quitter, you will ....... do what you have to do!

You are owning your quit! You are a bad man  I am proud to be quit with you today!

Seeing others in your group fall off is sad. And infuriating. Seeing you fail because one of them failed is an excuse of an addict. An addict with no sense of accountability or morality. That isn't the pinched we all know.

Derk is right. You posted roll. You stayed quit. You were tempted. That is all.

^^^^^^^^

I agree with w2w, don't beat yourself up for a craving.

You were talking to a quitter when it first went down and I know we were texting back and forth yesterday. I felt similar feeling because I know we had both reached out to him, you even more than I, to have him turn on everyone like that was upsetting.

Looking forward to putting this episode behind us, we have a nice week coming up joining our fellow ducks and the rest of the vets on the train Tues-Wed.... Proud as ever to have shared this journey with you brother!

QFQQ

I don't know you really well, pinched, but one thing I do know is you are man of your word. You posted roll so there was never danger of caving. I have complete faith in your word and if you posted roll I will never worry cus you will not to lie to us or to yourself.
Proud to quit with you today.

Agreed with Luby here, I don't know you well, but I've seen you too often on here to think that you were giving yourself any real serious danger. You had a plan to meet up with another veteran  using the site like it's supposed to be done. Those guys succeed. As did you today.
