Quote from: derk40Our word is our bond. Our word is all we have. This is how we roll.

Stepped on the scale 4 days ago and it rang up 228 lbs... This is about what I weighed in college. Deep in the fog and suck I was tipping the scales at 270. I was eating everything I had to because all that mattered was staying quit. 2 pints of ice cream was not off the table. Today I pay attention to what I eat because I can.

Somewhere along this process I started to exercise some personal discipline. I have quit dipping for 410 days! Along the way, I also made another decision and it was a personal decision... I also quit drinking. I never counted days but this quit meant a lot to me because I am a bad drinker.

I sit here today at a weird point ... 4 days ago I drank. I went against my word. Nothing bad happened but I got hammered. I went against a promise I made to myself. Quite honestly... I feel awful. If I was at AA I guess I'd have to answer the 3 questions. But this is KTC, so it is not required.

Bottom line... My word means a lot. I am a different guy than I was back on 23 June 2012. Without our word we are nothing. Own it today.

I plan to keep my word today. I am quit all day long.
This is an awesome post. Awesome. Especially to new quitters.

Some of the best, most honorable, hard working men and women I know are from this site. In their professions, they are machines. Work hard, play hard. To the extreme. When we eat, we tend to eat to the extreme. Drink... Same. We are addicts. When we chewed, we chewed to the extreme. We are are addicts not just of nicotine - we are ALL IN on everything we do.

Now you have harnessed how to deal with your addiction and carry the greatness over to other parts of your life. How many of us have done this... Almost everyone that keeps posting every day! Hall of fame was a moment of pride, but more than that it was just the start if a good place. What we learn here will change our lives... If we let it.

I'm proud to quit with you today.
Just over 1 year and we have a total life turn-around. Healthy, happy, and a whole crew of friends that 410 days ago never existed. All because you post roll everyday and build accountability and brotherhood. You're a model quitter Derk, one of the baddest assed on KTC.
^^^^^^agreed.
Indeed. Thanks for all of the encouragement, derk.

opening my book and putting your name in the rockstar's column.
Derk not sure if you are just reflecting or reaching out for advice. I'm pretty sure everyone who has spent any time on this site realizes you are a model quitter...So why not join the alchohol quitter group here at Kill the Can and quit drinking the same way you quit dipping? Making a daily promise to a group of quiters and keeping the promise. Add some accountability to your quit.
Derk, I have a lot of respect for you and consider you a man of honor. You have been a constant in my quit. I am supportive in whatever you decide is right for you.
Nicotine is a motherfucker. Alcohol is a motherfucker. Derk you can quit both motherfuckers...ODAAT to daily Freedom Brother.
Get back on the horse learn from it and move on. You have attacked 3 fronts in a year all of which at any one time could be tough to quit you slid on one but not the one that site is about. Many people would not have been able to attempt just one. If the booze is an item you want to take off the table post in Alcohol quit group...kinda like in the beginning of stopping chew never wanted to tell anyone so that if you started again you didn't have to hear it....apply the learning to booze and you can beat it too. I am an awful drinker too and I had to let it go...76 days ago I said good bye to my second mistress booze... it was very weird at first I don't remember doing a damn thing without booze...but like with other things that have been let go a trip around the sun you will have firsts.

I have watched you grow for over 400 days here and there is nothing you cant do when you get your mind right...you got this Derk

Quote from: derk40Our word is our bond. Our word is all we have. This is how we roll.

Stepped on the scale 4 days ago and it rang up 228 lbs... This is about what I weighed in college. Deep in the fog and suck I was tipping the scales at 270. I was eating everything I had to because all that mattered was staying quit. 2 pints of ice cream was not off the table. Today I pay attention to what I eat because I can.

Somewhere along this process I started to exercise some personal discipline. I have quit dipping for 410 days! Along the way, I also made another decision and it was a personal decision... I also quit drinking. I never counted days but this quit meant a lot to me because I am a bad drinker.

I sit here today at a weird point ... 4 days ago I drank. I went against my word. Nothing bad happened but I got hammered. I went against a promise I made to myself. Quite honestly... I feel awful. If I was at AA I guess I'd have to answer the 3 questions. But this is KTC, so it is not required.

Bottom line... My word means a lot. I am a different guy than I was back on 23 June 2012. Without our word we are nothing. Own it today.

I plan to keep my word today. I am quit all day long.
This is an awesome post. Awesome. Especially to new quitters.

Some of the best, most honorable, hard working men and women I know are from this site. In their professions, they are machines. Work hard, play hard. To the extreme. When we eat, we tend to eat to the extreme. Drink... Same. We are addicts. When we chewed, we chewed to the extreme. We are are addicts not just of nicotine - we are ALL IN on everything we do.

Now you have harnessed how to deal with your addiction and carry the greatness over to other parts of your life. How many of us have done this... Almost everyone that keeps posting every day! Hall of fame was a moment of pride, but more than that it was just the start if a good place. What we learn here will change our lives... If we let it.

I'm proud to quit with you today.
