New Quitter

[luby]

Day 187 - 1/17/14
I feel like I should wear my pants below my waist today, turn my ballcap sideways and hold my handgun sideways today because today is my Drive by day bitches!

Rollin' down the street smoking endo, sucking on gin and juice...laid back!

Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers. We learned yesterday that my mom will start Chemo on Monday of next week. I picked her up for work today with a completely bald head, as I felt it was my duty to show her that she will look better than my bald ass mug.

Life happens and will continue to happen. I never once thought that well just one dip won't hurt, I made my promise on here and I kept my phone on me just in case I needed another quitter to right my head.

I never planned to quit, I still don't plan to; I am just quitting daily.

Thanks to all of KTC, you guys and gals are my rock!

Hope your Mom's treatmant goes as well as possible, you're doing a great job of being the strong person your family needs you to be. Proud to quit with you today.

Day 184 - 1/14/14
Well, it's been awhile since I have added anything to the intro section.  My activity on here lately has been sparse as I did the minimum for a week or two (only posting my roll and getting the fuck out).  January has been a very busy month and we got some nasty weather that certainly didn't help things.

I write this note today just minutes after kissing my mother and watching her get wheeled back into surgery.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer right after Christmas and they are starting her road to recovery today.  I have no doubt that she will come through swinging as she always has.  My mom is a pretty tough broad. 

In November of 2012 we lost my father and grandfather to a car accident as they were leaving the family hunting ground.  She was tough then and help guide me on how I was to cope.

When I was a little kid I was always more afraid of mom dolling out punishment; not because she was bigger than my dad but at least with dad you knew you were getting the paddle...with mom it was whatever was close and hard.  On a side note never hide under a bed if you mother has an Electrolux vacuum cleaner, those metal tubes leave some nasty circular scars.

She is a bad ass and I know that we can and will do this.

Prayers for your Mom coming your way Corey.

Thanks for informing us. Losing loved ones to accidents, I get it. I have now clue about cancer. I can only imagine what it must be like. Pinched, I quit with you today and pray for you and your family.

I'm right where you are right now bro.
Keepin' my head up with you...

Prayers for you and yours thank you for keeping your KTC family updated. ps you prolly needed fixin from mom

Stay positive for you and your mom. Being tough will take her pretty far. Science has come a long way in the fight against breast cancer. Stay positive.

Saying a prayer for your mom and your family.

Day 170 - 12/29/13
Yesterday evening I met with STLHoosier form January 2014 group for a couple of beers after work. Awesome guy, works in the same industry as I do now and we know a lot of the same people. That is now 2 January 2014 quitters (one of these days I will meet a fellow Duck Fip too).

Went home and got a call from my mother. She had her consultation with her Surgeon and regarding her positive test result for breast cancer. She is scheduled for a double mastectomy in January. After the seriousness bomb was dropped I paused for a moment before saying..."Well mom the good news is that you are old, dad passed away in November of 2012 so you have no real need for breasts anyway now". She went form a somber whoa is me attitude to laughing a little, then she reminded me that I was an asshole (as if that was ever in question).

This morning I got up and did a 9.5 mile run, it was 12 degrees outside and I have icicles in my beard, I haven't run for at least a week so it felt great. While on the run my New Year's resolution came to me, every day I am going to write a note to each one of my kids in a notebook for a year, to let them know why I am thankful that they came into my life.

I missed the birth of child one and two and I will be damned if they will only have physical things to remember me by when it is my time to go. I realized that last week when I erupted it didn't only impact my oldest son but the whole fam damily.

2014 has the promise of being a great year and I plan on making some lemonade out of all these damned lemons. It might not be the sweetest batch ever but I will make it, drink it and share it.

Happy New Years eve to all of you, be safe this evening and be thankful,

Should have fired up the 'rod and gone for a ride! :P The new you is a much better you!!! I rarely have the outbursts and extreme mood swings I used to have when I was on the nic and when they occur I can usually diffuse the situation better. Keep up the good fight! Proud to be quit with u today!!!
