Day 352 - 7/1/14
It has been quite some time since I posted in my own intro section and I thought I would add a fun story and avoid stepping into the drama filled cowpatties that grace this prairie.
This past weekend my 12 year old son and I spent a father/son weekend (4 days) in the Rocky Mountains. We rock climbed, zip lined, white water rafted and hiked. It was truly an amazing time, not only because my son and I did it together, but because I did it dip free. Not even once did I get a craving, or an urge. Let me tell you nature smells great at 14,000' with no Copenhagen wafting in the air.
As I near one year of being quit, I started to reflect on life happening and how I choose to quit in lieu of making either of these events be excuses:
- mother diagnosed with breast cancer
- loss of a loved one
- loss of my father's best friend and my "uncle"
- coached baseball
- ruptured ear drum
- constant sinus infections (finally gone)
- fighting over family possessions
- working on cars and bikes
- mother's knee went out
- crazy stress at work
- tons of work related travel
- spousal unrest
- broken fist (yeah self induced)
- repaired broken window and wall (related to above item)
- I am certain I missed some items above as well
So again, fuck it I quit, I posted roll, I texted and I promised. No one can change that today. I am here, I am quit and I will be back tomorrow. Granted I have been posting roll but only doing "the minimum" lately, that will change as I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel...or perhaps that is a train.
I recommend you quit today, and go enjoy life,
