cbird65 to cbird to bird ... either way here's the back story

[cbird65]

So a strange thing happened on the way toÂ…..

Meeting Evil_Won while I was in Chicago. He gave me crystal clear instructions to the bar we were meeting at downtown. I wrote them down but of course forgot them at the hotel. All you guys with your newfangled phones are wondering why I didnÂ’t just map it Â…. Duh, can you say flip DUMB phone

Anyway, I walk up to some guy and ask directions. Mention I’m meeting an online accountability friend and he looks at me and say “how does that work?” I show him my KTC running shirt I was carrying and he says oh you mean you guys help people quit this, pulling out a can of Kodiak. Says I might as well be using heroin. No time to fully explain it but said when you’ve had enough, look us up.

With that I preceded to use his wrong directions and wound up calling Evil to pick me up - been a long ass time since I was back in the City.

Sharing life experiences with another quitter is an integral part of my quit. If you haven’t done it yet, I highly recommend it …. “It’s so choice” …. a little Ferris for youze guys

Day 461

Ebbs and flows continue but that's the life of a quitter. Not letting it bother me is key.

Continue to grow in your quit. Don't become stagnant. Keep looking to help the newer quitters but don't forget to ask help from a vet or help keep him accountable.

The life of a quitter is still and always will be better than the life of a user brother!

Stay Strong, Focused,  QUIT!!!!!!

Been on a roller coaster lately, ebbing from give-a-shit to energized about KTC as a whole.

After a couple of great conversations this week w a 600 day bad-ass quitter and a 30 day oh like IÂ’m out of the fog and think I can help my brothers out guy and am rejuvenated!!

BFD you say?? Well it is a big deal to me and it goes back to the circle of quit. I am reminded by a few quotes
“Remember that failure is an event, not a person.”
“You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.”
“People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.” Zig Ziglar

Quitting is relatively easy – you just stop doing something right? Now comes the hard part – replacing the previously quit habit and staying quit. Might I recommend upping your involvement here? You say, man I ‘m in the fog, I’m hurting, I can’t….Shut it and pull up your big boy pants. Push yourself harder and go out there and find someone to help or talk to a new brother. You will find out that we all have shared life experiences but it will reinforce a layer of accountability and brotherhood that you may have overlooked.

Pay it forwardÂ….. and backward. Yep, it goes both ways and it applies to EVERYONE. Find some crusty old salt that supported you early on and go post your support for him and then find a newb to take under your wing.

This is the longest damn race you will ever run. It has water stations (midnight) but no finish line.

Do you have what it takes??????

Final note - Since posting roll is my safety line - why would I test its limits?? Every damned Day boys!

Bravo Bird!!! Well, said.

Good shit as usual bird.

Edited after a shitty training run the normally vents my anger -

You doubt what I'm laying down????? Take a walk through the Pre 2007 Quit Groups Row   and knock on their doors to see how many houses are still open.  If they are closed and look like they are condemned, ask yourself why that happened. 
You feelin me now???

Solid Gold my friend, well stated and so true, all of it.

Feeling a little funky There my friend?

It will pass...

Keep doing what your doing.

Your lifeline is here and you know it.

I second what razd says brother!

Quit on brother

Get off the tracks

My quit played by deandre jordan
Defenseless guy played by anyone or anything who tries to derail my quit

Bad enough my pistons suck, but now B Knight is a national laughing stock. His new nickname should be "toilet water" because he got shit on.

Tough season to be a pistons fan.

Stay quit!
