New Quitter

[Kdip]

Day 95 - 10/17/13
I am gonna call today Whiskey Tango Foxtrot day.

Lastnight I was at a bar in some small pro dip town with Evil Won, we had a couple beers, got to know one another for real (yes he is just as honest face to face as he is on here).  While we are sitting there I get a text message from a fellow Duck Fip stating that he is on day 1, no real reason given.

I immediately felt like shit just crashed down.  This quitter has my number, and yet caved.  This same man has suffered some interesting shit recently yet still would text daily to let me know that he was still quit.  Only through text though.  Then after the cave comes on-line and posts his day 1 in October 13.

I immediately jump on it in his intro only to get call out today because I didn't send him money when he needed it.  Upon reading that I got very defensive and explained that I like many others don't have spare money just sitting around ready to bail anyone out.  I am a retired Marine and now work in Construction.  Suffice to say I am not shitting golden nuggets and wiping with 20 Dollar Bills.  If I were I would spend that much more time on here helping out when I can.

I refuse to let this one individual's poor decision to cave, and lack of judgment on calling me and other KTCers dumbass MFs ruin my day today.

I met Evil last night and he gave me something that has made my journey to the HOF seem more substantial now.  My fellow quitters I wish you the best and I apologize if my defensive response this morning upset any of you.  However, if you ever call me looking for a loan my new response is FU (thank you KKJLINC and Z for teaching me that simple phrase).

Matt, I forgive you for your angry words.  I hope that you can get your head right and get back on track with life as a whole.

I remain,

I had a quitter in my group cave on me right before HOF too! It REALLY hurt and I took it personally. I even thought about running out and buying a can in that moment of weakness. I felt totally crushed. Same thing, dude had my number and no call. He also had caved out and come back before. I then came to my senses and said that MoFo loser wasn't going to rain on my parade. Tough dose of reality here. We are in the minority here posting our promise and staying QUIT everyday and not just "stopping". Proud to be quit with you today!!!

Day 93 - 10/15/13
Trying to quit and crossing lines
My note today was conjured up from two different individuals that commented one yesterday and one today.

First, a quitter commented that they were watching for me to cross the HOF line. That came from a quitter that when he was very new in his quit I reached out to help him along much like other have done for me. This young man probably inspired my quit more than he realizes because I wish that at his age I would have had the mental aptitude to realize that I could quit. Then again if I would have successfully quit way back then I wouldn't have met as many stand up guys and gals as I have on here. JGBTX thank you for letting me help and for reminding me today just how awesome this site is. He is not a man of many words in his intro, but he is consistently posting roll with his group.

Second, a brand new quitter indicated that he was trying to quit. I like many other immediately chimed in to let them know that there is no trying just doing. My late grandfather who I lived with for 5 years and was a retired USMC Drill Instructor and also the man that introduced me to worm dirt once told me that if I mentally prepared to try that meant I was prepared to fail. Although at the age of 11 I had no clue what that meant. Now I have grasped the full understanding of it.

I am one week away from hitting my 100th day, and I know that I have no choice but to continue my presence on KTC as I am not healed. I still get cravings, I still have rage episodes, but the great news is that I have not provided financial support for UST for 93 days.

Congrats on reaching day 93! That's some impressive work there for sure  like Srans always says, always on days that end in Y! :D

You get it Pinched. Once you get out of the fog and start paying forward all the help you get early in your quit you realize new quitters are looking at you to lead the way. Nice extra layer of accountability.

Pinched buddy, your a damn fine quitter and an inspiration. You were someone I identified with early on because I was only a day behind you. Proud of what we have accomplished and what we still have left to do, can't wait to ride the train with you next week!

Day 89 - 10/11/13
Been about a week since my last post. I got to drown myself in work out in Denver for the bulk of the week. Was a beautiful week, but I returned home, started my bike and drove to my mom's house. She is now home after being diagnosed with adult whooping cough, MRSA in her nose, pneumonia and god knows what else.

She is pretty tough though, made it through three girls and me (probably the biggest test), then was a pillar when my father passed. There is no doubt in my mind that she will recover, hell she is probably planting bulbs for next spring today, repainting the house or something else amazing.

Looking forward to meeting up with another KTC quitter next week. I cannot wait to personally extend my accountability net. I have said it before and I will again, I truly believe that KTCers should get into the site to see what it really does when you dive deep into it. Productivity at work or around the house may decrease at times but the experience and support here is unparalleled.

89 days of freedom brother! Prayers out to your mom! She sounds like a tough lady and that is where you get your drive and determination. I'm quit with you today!

P.S. J Love gone.... Not sure about that call.

Sounds like an awesome fun weekend! Im sorry to hear about your mother though. Prayers sent up.

Pinched, stay strong and focused on what is important. You will perservere through this, but do not get discouraged with what you are facing and what you have little or no control over. Remember Jarhead, you have alot of guys pulling for you and will be with you every step of the way on our journey. Proud to be quit with you.

Day 85 - 10/7/13
Today I am quit, this weekend was very trying on my quit but I am still quit. On Thursday evening I learned that my mother has pneumonia as well as MRSA in her nose. She has worked in healthcare for her entire life so the MRSA in the nose is not really a surprise. She continues to grow stronger each day but will probably remain hospitalized until mid this week. My father passed away 10 months ago so she is best in the hospital as me and my siblings all work as well. Sounds terrible but isn't intended that way.

I contemplated changing my plans because of this but I didn't. This weekend I camped out with the Boy Scouts for a Rendezvous encampment, where most of the adults dress up as though they are early settlers and put on an interactive display for the kids. I always get stuck working the Tomahawk throw which is fun for me anyway because I get to be the last line of defense keeping boys from playing catch with sharp tomahawks. No one was injured and every boy I worked with got at least one tomahawk to stick in the log target.

Also, on Saturday I ran a 3 hour camp for new incoming Cub Scouts. This is an introduction camp for boys to join Cub Scouts and allows new scouts to immediately do the Archery, BB guns and slingshots that they all join Cub Scouts to do any way. I have been running this camp for now 5 years. Each year I have fun doing it but this year it was different. Never once did I have to sneak around hide in the woods or "go to the bathroom" to sneak in a dip. I didn't even have an urge or craving to either.

The weekend went great, we recruited 37 new boys into Cub Scouting and now typing that number I realize that is now almost 74 more parents that I am going to have to deal with on a regular basis, but for now I will assume that half of them will be normal.

I continue to be inspired each day by the fellow Ducks as they hit the HOF, I am right behind all of you and I support you all today. Also thanks to all the others from KTC that help me on a regular basis.

Good job making it throught the weekend. At times life is unfair but that's not an excuse to change our plans here. MRSA sucks but it isn't new. It has been around for thousands of years, there was just never a test to isolate it from other staphs that do respond to methicillian drugs. They say that if they did a swab of 100 peoples skin it would be on 95% of them. The issue is if it finds a way into the body and makes itself at home. Don't worry (at least try) about anything until you have something to worry about, then remember a problem + dip = 2 problems.
