New Quitter

Day 127 - 11/18/13 (yeah a day late)

Yesterday I was late posting roll.  Not really late but later than I normally post.  My phone whistles and I look at it to see a text from Jeff (Jlud) "where are you at...not like you to have not posted roll yet?"

To which I responded letting him know (pay attention Erussell, Traumagnet  Jake Frawley) I was riding in a tow truck that was pulling my Ford to the service shop. 

Cut to 2 hours prior...I was driving through one of the shadiest ghettos in North St. Louis, my truck decides that it is going to start shifting hard...then finally while pressing the gas pedal to leave a stoplight a plume of black smoke exits my tailpipe but my truck lie there motionless.  Sounds badass, but will not fucking budge.  I get honked at a few times before I motion with one hand with a sign that said "Fuck OFF and go around".  I put her in neutral and glide down a slight grade into a parking lot.  When I pop the hood the tranny dipstick is puking fluid...for those who are unaware this is very bad and typically means the trans has overheated.

I put a call into a mechanic buddy and he confirms that my truck should not move again under it's own powers.  So it is 0630 and I am sitting in a bog white truck in one of the hardest neighborhoods in St. Louis.  It took 45 minutes for the tow truck to arrive.  He gets there, and then determines that my truck is not going to fit on his truck.  "Are you fucking kidding me?  When I call and say it is a F350 crew cab long bed you send out a toy tow truck."  20 more minutes pass then the real tow truck gets there...truck envy sets in as this International with a crew cab and a 24' flatbed pulls in front to hook up my truck.

We drive to the shop and I get the diagnosis that tells me that the transmission is totally fucked and I am going to be out anywhere from $5-7K for a new one.  MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!  Just what I wanted a new transmission for this money pit of a truck.  If I wasn't such an idiot and didn't just love the look of the Super Duty trucks and love that throaty grumble from the 6.0L Diesel I would have sold this mofo long ago.

However, yesterday sucked and I was crabby but texts from Jeff and Shane kept me sane.  I am still quit, as a matter of fact a dip never crossed my mind because all that I can think of in a time like that is what the good reverend Scowick preaches "One problem + a dip makes two problems".

So FUCK YEAH I am quit, and I give my word that I will remain quit today,

Today, I am happily driving my little economy rental car that could fit into the back of my truck with ease.  I feel like Chris Farley but who fucking cares?

Pinched

Dude, you are a gun yielding Marine...a bad neighborhood has nothing on you....hell, you could have called me and I would head over and set in the truck with you just to see if we could stir up some trouble...lol...

I know how deep America is ingrained in you and it is very important to me too but I just refuse to buy a domestic vehicle. If it's not made in Germany, it's not in my garage.(I don't think they make a truck though...)

Damn man! I didn't realize when I was texting with you that dollar signs were flashing before your eyes. Sorry bro... Reminds me of my house/plumbing issues from last month. Felt good to go through a hurdle/set back like that and remain a quittin' machine! That's good shiz right there. Rock on...

I quit with Pinched and his truck today...and everyday. Thank gawd it wasn't your CAC again.

Day 124 - 11/15/13

It has become very apparent to me that some people might need some refreshing on definitions of words.  Often in today's times the spoken word doesn't carry the weight it once did.  There are often people we face daily that let us down and we just come to expect it.

Perhaps I am just asking too much now a days but I don't think I am.  Many of you know of my military experience and let me ask this one question before you read further...if our military personnel are not true to their word when they pledge to defend us in battle and be there with a helping hand when needed, would any of us be here right now, would we have the freedom to be on an internet forum, would we have free time to spend with our loved ones?

Accountability - responsible to someone for action, able to be explained
Brotherhood - all those engaged in a particular trade or profession or sharing a common interest or quality; the belief that all people should act with warmth and equality toward one another, regardless of differences in race, creed, nationality, etc.
Commitment - a pledge or promise; obligation: We have made a commitment to pay our bills on time; engagement; involvement

Everyone member that posts roll daily should understand and employ these definitions as they write their name or sign their name to the roll sheet that day.

If you lie about something you will feel like shit.  If you fuck up and fail to apologize or realize that you have fucked up you may not be forgiven.  Each of us as individuals has a responsibility to ourselves, but when you sign your name you promise all who dwell here not just yourself.  Sure it is your life and if you want to fuck it up, march on; but understand that your actions can and will have an equal and opposite reaction.

Sincerely,
Pinched

I have been thinking of what I think you are referring to here Pinched and I just don't get it we begin the moment a person makes their first intro of the customs and courtesies of the site. The number one item is that this is a nicotine free site and don't post while using. This is as simple as it gets. When we have what happened here it sends a shockwave of a shitty feeling throughout the site. I don't know the individual but from looking over the thread you were very active in his thread...it sucks to find out in a roll post. Keep your head up Pinched you have been active in a lot of quits don't stop.

Thanks brother my head is up, using this as a refresher for others.

The accountability is what makes it work for me....my years of secret dipping made it easy to ignore this if I "quit". Posting roll and having somebody giving a crap is wonderful ... I will not fail because, in a large part, people like you Pinched and many others here!

Day 116 - 11/7/13
Well, it has been two weeks since I hit 100, around day 102 the "Post HOF" Funk that everyone talked about hit.  It is weird because you work your ass off to get to 100, then watch people drop like flies.  If it weren't from the barrage of texts from some fine quitters on here I could have become a statistic.  Plus I wanted to stay active and watch my Duck Fip brothers and sister as they got on the train.

Now I get the pleasure of helping the November Sky Divers or as I have known them the Nutvember Knob Gobblers (just for you Dean) as a Conductor for their train.

However, in doing that I do want to point something out.  Those of you who are contemplating not signing up for 200, while your fellow quitters are still striving for their HOF.  Consider how half of your group left you while you were trying to get to day 100, would you feel abandoned?  Would you start to rethink your quit?  Would you give a damn?

I ask because I was one of those late in the group quitters.  I know how it bothered me as well as others.  I can't make the decisions for you but I will refer back to the HOF Coin in my pocket.  The word is Brotherhood, perhaps not all of you know what that means or perhaps you have never truly experienced what brotherhood is.  You make your choice, I will continue with mine.

Paying it forward around here is what keeps all of us that are post HOF around, because believe it or not we all help one another add ones each day.  There are a great many quitters on here that I owe for helping take my life back, but everyone of them will tell me that they don't want me to thank them, they want me to follow their lead.

So I end today's rant with a quote "Do or Do Not, there is no try".  The ball is now in your court,

Pinched

Heed this!

well said bro!

Well put brother, you know my feelings on these subjects. Proud to keep the torches lit here with you!

Consider how half of your group left you while you were trying to get to day 100, would you feel abandoned? Would you start to rethink your quit? Would you give a damn?

I ask because I was one of those late in the group quitters. I know how it bothered me as well as others. I can't make the decisions for you but I will refer back to the HOF Coin in my pocket. The word is Brotherhood, perhaps not all of you know what that means or perhaps you have never truly experienced what brotherhood is. You make your choice, I will continue with mine.

Paying it forward around here is what keeps all of us that are post HOF around, because believe it or not we all help one another add ones each day. There are a great many quitters on here that I owe for helping take my life back, but everyone of them will tell me that they don't want me to thank them, they want me to follow their lead.

So I end today's rant with a quote "Do or Do Not, there is no try". The ball is now in your court,

Day 109 - 10/31/13
Well first of all Happy Halloween to all!

Next I want to say thank you to Duathman and Dougie for being the Conductors for the October 2013 Group! You guys both did a great job and made it fun at the same time.

I look forward to serving as a Conductor for the November 2013 group with Jeff. He and I have grown tight through the last couple months of our HOF run and I am excited to work with him on that. Plus the November group has a bunch of fine quitters that are well on their way to becoming KTC legends.

About me, well lately I have not noticed the post HOF funk however, I have been busy as hell with work and travel. It's good to be busy and busy work and busy life always seem to be stacked up on top of one another. However, I remain quit; I love being quit my use of fake dip has even lessened considerable down to one or two pinches a day.

Today is Halloween, I am working my ass off and then when done today I am going to take my kids trick-or-treating without a lip full of dirt.

QFQQ,
