I think I may have developed another addiction a good one, but an addiction for sure! 'oh yeah'
This one is very unlikely to kill you, however! I see your 99 today Dustin, looking forward to electronically celebrating with you tomorrow my man.

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Cannot believe the HOF train is now steaming through September!!! It feels so good to be at this point and there is no way I would've gotten this far without all the tools and support here. Out of the blue craving last night fought it off with ease...Always have to keep that guard up and stay vigilant!
DW, you're a leader in more groups than September. Thanks for all you have done, and congrats to you and the Samurai as you step onto the vaunted train this month.

Hey man - I saw you post in alc quit this morning. Nicely done. We have a good crew in there and it works just like quitting nic. You already proved you have a backbone. Apply it to alc and you'll be fine.

Dweirick my friend quitting drinking will be the second smartest thing you've done for yourself sense stopping dipping! Damn proud of you! I quit cold turkey 15 years ago it was a lot easier for me than quitting dip. I remember seeing my Father sit in driveway and down a 5th of vodka almost every day and I said that will not be me! Quit on you badass and if you need more digits pm me .

Today I decided enough is enough......

I have been drinking since about 16 years old I'm now 28 years old. I'm not an "alcoholic" by true definition, but a functioning alcoholic. I mean that I still hold down a job, family and I do all that well. I just have an issue with alcohol just like dip I can't just have 1.... I don't drink to be social or have a good time I drink to get fucked up and at this point I'm a seasoned veteran so it takes a lot of booze...

I think I continued with my drinking for so long because I used it as an outlet for built up frustration and emotional train wrecks I avoid. I have an extremely stressful job dealing with death and generally terrible things happening to people day in and day out as a 9-1-1 Dispatcher. Add to that 12 years of service to a fairly busy volunteer Fire career where instead of just being on the phone I get to see those horrors first hand.

Now I would not trade any of what I do for the world because I'm 99.9% sure I was put on this earth to help people and I do it well.... I just need to focus some of that help on myself since I'm destroying my life slowly.

I have an amazing wife who is extremely supportive (I don't see how) just last night we were hanging out and we spent some great time together, but she had to work in the morning and went to bed early. I'm a night shift worker so I cannot sleep when I'm off.....Guess what I'm normally doing you got it throwing back some drinks.

I took my final drink last night because since I have joined KTC I have had my eyes opened wide and I can now see the destruction I'm causing.

I'm scared I will lose my wife because I spend less and less time with her at night just to get hammered.

I'm scared eventually it will get out of control even more and affect my job to the point I would be left go.

I'm scared my children will think it is ok since they have watched Daddy do this for so long.

I'm scared of starting all over after throwing away everything I worked so hard for.

IÂ’m tired of being fucking scared and I'm taking back control today!!!!
Good for you D. This is a tough realization to come to sometimes, but just like with dip, the hardest thing to do is usually the right thing. Count me in as a supporter in your newest quest.
Good to hear DWEIRICK! I am glad you're taking a step in the right direction. I'm sure this was difficult to admit. Just know that everyone is here for you.
King, Jim,

Yeah hard pill to swallow, but thanks to this place I have realized I have an issue. KTC has kept me nic free so only made sense to use this for my other issue...

Thank you to everyone here at KTC
