Here I go again, tomorrow is the last first day.

[Idaho Spuds]

NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON:

The more normal lives we live the greater the chance of diving back into the can we have.

I was just thinking this morning about my previous 3 year stoppage and what the hell happened to make me start again. I had quit after I had some tissue removed from my back, right above the crack where the sun hits when your bent over in the garden. For 3 years I ignored all her comments and requests to give her another chance. As I said before I paid at the pump in an effort to keep her out of my mind. Then it happened. I went hunting with my brother-in-law. We hunted for the first day and I was fine. On day 2 it happened, he pulled out his can and I grabbed a small pinch off of it. Remember this was a long time ago.

Quite some time ago Mogul said it was like I was able to locate the switch and completely turn it off. Well let me tell you, just as quick as you can turn it off, you can turn it on. The small pinch I grabbed turned that fucking switch back on almost instantly. I remember my BIL asking if I can have just one and of course I said Yes I can. It took a little bit for the nicotine to get back in my system but once it did, I was hooked again.

When your brain is telling you that just one is okay, remember that it is the nic bitch trying to crawl back into your life. You can NEVER have JUST ONE.

Yes we want to live a normal life but we must guard our quit at all costs. Taking a minute or so to Post Roll Daily isn't to much to ask. Isn't a minute or so worth it to protect what you have been working so hard at?

It certainly is worth it..

Great post Raider

indeed a good post. I though you were doing housework?

what can I say, I'm easily distr... hey look a squirrel. Now off to get the chores done. I was reading my intro to remind myself why I am still here. Good thing to do every now and then.

Living what you preach! Proud to quit with you Raider.

A minute or two is damn sure worth it. Cancer would take more then a minute or two of your day. Quit with you Raider

I look back at the past couple of months and think, where the hell was I? What the hell was I doing that was more important than being on here 2, 3, or 4 hours a day? At the same time I think that I am trying to continue living my life as a quitter but also as a husband, father, friend, etc. Summer came and went too fast. Fishing trips, camping, spending time with the family, and being on here are all things that are extremely important to me. Since school started time has become a much more valuable resource. Now that things have settled down a bit I am going to be on here more often posting the support to others that was posted to me in the beginning.

The past few weeks have been full of various feelings. Yesterday I was feeling pretty shitty and instead of thinking the c-store is only a minute away, I hopped onto chat and MN_Ben was there. after our private chat I was feeling better and finally able to get to sleep. Thanks again Ben for your assistance. Why is this important? Because for you newbies out there, you have to realize that you are given tools here for a reason. Chat, text message, roll, etc are all things that you need to use.

One thought that crossed my mind today was this: When we first came onto KTC we were kind of like the guy/gal standing on a ledge, thinking about jumping. Fortunately there was someone who reached out and helped us. Periodically we tend to take a peak over the ledge and wonder...what if? That's when you gotta remember who your friends are and what tools you have been given. Don't be the fool to take another step on the ledge. Stay clean today

I am not or will I ever be cured for I am an addict. I know deep in my heart that I can never again have one for any reason.
