Day 45 - Interesting thing happened today.  I work at a tobacco free facility, so in the past when I dipped we went to the bridge (an overpass close to the plant) to use. As you'd expect there was a group of us that went together periodically so we could talk and feed the bitch.  One guy I went with regularly stopped dipping with me on Dec 31 and had been stopped for several weeks.  I shared KTC with him and urged him to join but he thought he could do it alone.

I went on a 4 day trip this week and today when I got back to the plant, he asked me if I wanted to go to the bridge.  I asked why and he said "for old time's sake for you and so I can have a dip!"  He had caved.

I DECLINED!!! 'Finger'

My quit is not really fragile at this point but it's not exactly strong either so I chose to avoid the temptation of "just one".

Proud of me and quit with you KTC!  'oh yeah'
proud of you too man- keep it up!
Avoidance of triggers is a plan!!!! Good decision!!! Keep it going!!!
BOOM! Great, Nice, and Awesome Ammo! Lots of little lessons in that story. Thanks! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/s ;Ironman:

One day when I'm a grizzled up old veteran on here with over 60 Resolute Bastards still quit with me I look forward to telling some snot nosed new quitter whining about the drama on KTC (like I was a few days ago) that KTC is like Florida weather, if you don't like it now, just wait a few hours and it will change!

After all of the drama a few days ago, this morning is all love and support and talking about how great this site is for our quit!

I agree and I'm sure all of the vets knew it was coming but I continue to be amazed at what this place and this group mean to me and my quit!

Quit on KTC!
Me too, I'll be there as well! And look who just turned 39 you resolute bastard you! :-) Congrats Apogee. Life is good!

Day 37 - Thanks to everyone who contacted me yesterday with words of support and kicks in the pants. One good thing about saying I was going to avoid posting on the site was I tested out the PM and Text part of my support plan and it worked great!

Quitting with all of my buds today! My resolve to quit is much stronger than my resolve to stay away from here.
Im glad you are here this morning my resolute bastard bro. QLFEDD

Day 36 - rather than type them all out, I'll just say "CURSE WORD!!" to get them all out of the way.

I come here and read to try to help myself quit but lately, man this place has just become a massive drama show.  The craves are coming regularly and I'm struggling through a stressful day but I'm not finding any comfort here.

I'm staying quit but I'm going to take a few days off from the site except for posting roll in the morning.
Apogee. Take a few days off the site if you need to, just keep posting roll with me okay? I'll even do it for you via text if you want. I think you have my number, but if not just PM me.
Breathe in, Breathe out....

I too had a down period in the 30 day range, it is normal. But remember that you are winning. The score is 36-0 and you can keep piling it on by doing just what you have been doing....and that is posting that word of yours and honoring it.

You got this, no sweat. I believe in you. Hell I will quit today standing shoulder to shoulder with you.

So take my sword and gut that nic bitch today.
Ap - check your inbox.
Post roll, take what you need and leave the rest. Get back when refreshed.
If you want a good relief from the drama areas in here, look in Wildcard and look at boobies, play the 1, 2 or 3 word games or just read some of the funny shit. This place is never drama free because everyone of us is pushing out a chemical imbalance from our bodies.
