Well, pretty shitty ending to 2023 and a shitty start to 24. My Father In Law passed away the day before Xmas and Xmas night a lady that I have been calling mama for closer to 30 years passed away. Shortly prior to that, my cousin felt life wasn't worth it no more and went out on her own terms.
Ring in 2024 for me with a trip to another oncologist! Good times for all eh?
Looking back, Years ago I would have had a big ass stoagie in one hand, maybe a cigarette in the other and a big old fat ass lipper on stand by. I gave up all the smoking and stuck with the lippers of dippers and kept my lips packed all damn day. Situations like this called for big fat lips, double shots all around and chased them shots with multiple beers. I will say this much though, a bunch of people have came and went here and called many of folks a fucking asshole on the way out the door for the tough love when it came to holding each other accountable and helping each other stay quit. I did split once and came back and never left ever again. I took my lumps and there were many. Today, thanks to them assholes that I no longer consider to be assholes but BIQ (Brothers In Quit) I can deal with these situations as they arise without the need to pack my lips full of cat shit ... err uhh dip or load big ass plugs of leaf in my mouth. As well, I don't need cigarettes or stoagies either. And through it all I have had but a few beers and a shot or 2 of some good old fashioned Moon .. Uhhh we will call it Creek ;-)
Everyone from the Eternal QUitters to the Old timers to the Newbies and especially my Decembros in Dec 15. You assholes are all a bunch of awesome M'Fers!!! I quit with you all EDD! 3046
I look forward to many more 24 hours of quit together the KTC way!
