6 days down, I helped gather everyones digits and times. Feeling closer to this group and site more and more everyday. I want to help myself but need to do a better job at help others. I guess maybe its because that's what I want and need. I am trying to make it my goal to reach out to new digits everyday and check in. Mondays are busy but seems like everyday is busy. Have a board meeting tonight for our baseball association and were going to a brewery/restaurant. Going to reach out too a couple brothers tonight and get some feedback. I am quit and will stay quit!

Went to church today, trying to get better as family by going every Sunday. The pastor talked about how we are all on the naughty list and all we need for Christmas is a savior. My savior this holiday season is this website, maybe it was God/Jesus that pushed me back to the site i don't know. I do believe in a higher power but the most control over everything is yourself. Believe in yourself, if you want to do something then do it - stop thinking about how to do it and just start. I started quitting again 5 days ago, I had no idea what i was going to do but I put my mind to it and now I am here. I quit for myself today. I just learned how to add and delete someone for SSOA, can't wait to learn more and stay on my March20 group. Lets get it!
You are going down the right path on staying quit for the long run @jconners. This stuff right here will strengthen your quit. It makes you appreciate how and why this sites work. Keep kicking ass.

Its Saturday, woke up early (7am) because I didn't have a nicotine or alcohol hangover. I usually don't wake up until 9am by then my kids are jumping around and I am still in a fog. Then I would try to suck it up and think about when I would start drinking and how I could sneak in a few dips around my wife. Not today man, I hate that sneaky shit - it divided me from my wife and kids. Then at night while I was dipping I couldn't get close to my wife because I was making love to the bottle and dip - not a way to live not today and not ever again. Feels good today and I am pushing forward. Family parties tonight with lots of food - that's my jam. True tests will be coming but I am prepared. Fuck that nic bitch - I quit for myself today.
This is what I like reading brother. It hypes me up seeing you on roll when I first long in.

Another day almost in the books. Work is busy and its hard to manage KTC, work and my personal life but this is the only way. I feel more and more apart of KTC everyday - getting comfortable with messaging and finding threads. I want to be helpful in my group and stay on top of all of them. Life is always going to be busy. Its Friday, usually by now I'm thinking of where I am going to get a drink and which store to stop an grab a tin. Not this Friday, not any Friday going forward or any day - I am in this and I am now going to go home and enjoy my family. I stay quit with all of KTC today.
Geez. That was my routine for the longest time.  Not now. Not today. It's the new me. Family man.  They don't play second fiddle to a can and a bottle. Nice to be living consciously. Good for you man!
I am quit with you @Athan - these habits are the worst, need to make better habits. Have a good weekend - family is where it is at.

Party last night was good, was able to disguise my drink order (cranberry/tonic with a lime). It actually tastes way better with out the alcohol. Enjoyed the food a little bit too much. Dip wasn't on my mind but with the weekend approaching i know it will be. I am glad i have digits and will be checking in with them daily. Feeling good but I know i still have a lot of work to do. Working late tonight then onto Friday. NNT / ODAAT
Good job brother. When the weekend comes we will worry about that when the time comes. Right now all that matters is today. Hell not even today. Right here right now as you read this. Sometimes we got to take our quit one second at a time. I believe in you bro.

Its been a rough couple weeks. I let down a lot of people in my old group and all the people in my life. I feel like shit. I deserve everything I got today but in a weird way it feels good to be knocked down. I want to show everyone but more importantly myself that I can beat this once and for all. I know I will beat it. I know I will stay quit. I will not fail this time. Day 1 is coming to a close and of course tonight I have my office holiday party. Not drinking or dipping period, going to enjoy the company, laugh a little bit and eat a lot of food. Glad to be back home where I belong.

If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Roy T. Bennett

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.
wastepanel

Do not let the actions of others determine the direction of YOUR quit.
