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.
QFQQ,
Pinched
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!
