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,

Good to see u brother and the quit alive and kicking!!! Good decision staying clear of the turd infested minefield. Now can we get the avatar back??? ;)
Well Done Sir.

We all face those things you listed above. It's called Life.

It's how we deal with it and the decisions we make along the way that define who we are.

Keep killing it Pinched.
another shining example of owning the quit
The mundane life of quitting. Day in and day out. Well done!
Yes, in a previous life any one of those would be an invitation to cave. You got this brother and I'm proud to quit with you EDD
Well done! Most of us would have chosen to crater our quits for any of those reasons without having our KTC toolbelts. Now we get to enjoy that freedom! keep that quit building P!
Good to see you again Pinched. Whatever you got in the tank to give is appreciated. Glad you are feeling good!
Such a great quitter, awesome. So proud to be in this fight with you, and damn proud to quit with you all damn day.

You're a determined quitter. Great post.

- 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,

Good to see u brother and the quit alive and kicking!!! Good decision staying clear of the turd infested minefield. Now can we get the avatar back??? ;)
Well Done Sir.

We all face those things you listed above. It's called Life.

It's how we deal with it and the decisions we make along the way that define who we are.

Keep killing it Pinched.

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.

Day 320 - 5/30/14
For over 300 days I have made the conscious choice to quit smokeless tobacco completely, for the last two weeks I have not held up my normal workload on the KTC site. All of this is not because I don't care but that I have allowed life to happen and make me busier than a one-eyed cat watching ten mouseholes. This morning alone I learned that my father's best friend whom was like an uncle to me passed away, five minutes later I find out that my in-law's house was hit by a car, then I was on a 2 hour conference call, where a bunch of new work was graciously dropped into my lap. Last night my flight from Denver was delayed by an hour, the good news is that DIA has some good choices for food  drink; the bad news is that I missed out on a great Denver Quitogether.

No matter what happens today I posted roll, and come hell or high water I will continue to be quit today. Big Tobacco and Nicotine you can lick my nuts because this stubborn son of a bitch is quit.

Life keep on happening, I know that I can handle it and when I start to falter I have a long list of people that will help straighten me out if necessary. Those of you quitters that think you are solid beware, shit happens at random that will make you think "just one won't hurt" or "this would help"; ALL LIES!

Until you exchange numbers with fellow quitters, you will not know what it means to get a phone call or a text from a fellow quitter at just the right time saying "thank you" or "checking in". Those of you that keep those up please keep on keeping on, those little message help confirm my resolve to quit every damn time.

P
Wise words indeed, listen and heed, all. Sorry for the challenges dropped in your lap, condolences for your loss.
