This Time Is For Real

[danojeno]

363 days... The same forwards and backwards, a palindromeic number.

My life is almost palindromeic.

The stress, the same as a year ago.
The pressures from life, the same as a year ago.
The way I deal with the pressures and stress, not the same as a year ago.

I was under the false pretense that I needed to have nicotine in my system to cope and overcome those stressors.

I this last 363 days I have:
- Saved my marriage
- Lost control of my career
- Fought anxiety
- Developed tools and strategies to overcome
- Fought to keep my job
- Realized that it is a job and not who I am
- Began to regain control by no longer changing who I am fo the sake of others
- Resigned from my job
- Sued my former employer
- Won a 4 month paid vacation.
- Got blacklisted in education
- Realized that my children pay more than any job
- Dad is a better title than principal
- Concluded that one does not need 30 desks and 4 walls to be a teacher. Just an opportunity.
- Choose to start my own business

That choice brought back the stressors on the marriage. But I am 100% nicotine free, through out all of this. I haven't focused on a set amount of days, just get to tomorrow. Today is doable, beyond that is too much.

I quit for today.

Dad is better title than principal. That is awesome! There will always be job opportunities but you only have your chance to be a dad once in life. You will get through this you very smart man and strong willed! Good luck on your business. Damn proud to be quit with you today my friend!

Thanks for posting this Candoit. Some ring true already, others I look forward to experiencing. Good way to jump off this week. Quit with you today.

Keep killing it every day man.

Proud of you.

Glad I caught on to your shirt-tail.
Strong quit to follow. Sincere Thx.

Today is what we control. The more support we have the easier today is. Thank you all.

I've learned plenty from you Cando and I want to thank you for that. I know that if you put the kind of passion you have for quitting into a business, or just about anything for that matter, you will succeed. Women are another matter completely.

Dropkick Murphys Boys on the Docks....

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone,
We came to this country, you made it our home.

This man so humble, this man so brave.
A legend to many, he fought to his grave.
Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror,
in a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow.

Say Johnny me boy, this ones for you.
With the strength of many and the courage of few.
To what do we owe this man who's fight
was for the masses, he gave his life.

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone,
We came to this country, you made it our home.

A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime.
He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time.
He wasn't a crook, but he couldn't be conned.
John knew the difference between right and wrong.

Say Johnny me boy, you live no longer,
Others forgotten, your memory's stronger.
Lets drink to the causes in your life:
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife.

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone.
We came to this country, you made it our home.
[x2]

And the boys on the docks needed John for sure.
When they came to this country he opened the door.
He said "Man I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind.
Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind."

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Together we are what we can't be alone.
We came to this country you made it our home.
