Dusty...so proud of you and proud to quit with you.
I feel safe with you modding around haha..

You are an awesome father, husband and quit brother. Couldn't ask for anyone better to walk this walk. You are strong and committed. An asset to your group and the KTC.

Congrats on your 300 days.

:wub:
Thanks Chick I would've never made it this far without KTC and the family that is here! I'm proud to be here, but what I'm proud of most is to be able to post my name and count with all you badass quitters!!!!!!

Caving is and always will be a choice, it’s not an accident, it’s not an out of the blue thing, it's a planned and thought-out choice. Don’t be a weak bitch. She’s a dead plant and you’re alive. Do whatever it takes to keep it that way…

I've come to an impasse with my career at 911. Six plus years of poor management, politics, understaffing and a novel full of other issues has me questioning if it's time to move on. I recently applied for the 911 Coordinator position and interviewed extremely well for it, but I got a letter from Human resources that says although I'm most definitely qualified they chose someone else. I'm fine with that what pissed me off was the letter was addressed as "Dear Ms Weirick"

You kidding me 6+ years of service to your Department and you can't even get my title correct. I'm burnt out, I'm tired and most of all I'm frustrated that lives are being put at risk due to political BS.

I think it's time to move forward with my dream of becoming a career firefighter. There's an opportunity on the table and I'm not letting it pass by.
Make it happen. You got this one!
Never quit chasing your dreams!!! You can achieve what ever you put your mind to.

(Saving for down the road)

Today my wife and I took our 20 month old son to the orthopedic surgeon due to a curvature in his lower spine. Now he has been walking fine and has been developing normal other than the spine issue. He has scoliosis and now has to go get an MRI and also go to genetics to make sure it is not a genetic issue or syndrome of some sort. My wife and I lost a child to a miscarriage long before I quit chewing so you can imagine how this news landed for the both of us. Here is the good part at 221 days nicotine free my first thought wasnÂ’t grabbing a can it was I need to let my group know whatÂ’s up and that I may be struggling in the future depending on the results. I sent a text out in our Group Me and immediately it was filled with responses of prayers and best wishes! I got a text from someone in my group just reaching out on a personal level to make sure I was good and if I needed anything they were just a text/call away. I went from a bunch of strangers quitting nicotine to a family who stands by my side at a momentÂ’s notice! This place works if you buy in and invest yourself properly. Point of the story is many hard times are around the corner that can trigger our addictive minds itÂ’s so vital that you have this protection. Build that connection with your group you never know when a text or a post can pull you from the edge. I didnÂ’t cave today because I posted roll and I didnÂ’t cave today because I thought about my brothers/sisters before I thought about the can!

Hey boy... I didn't get a chance yesterday to tell you in here congrats on that 200. I remember you saying on my 200 that I am the glue that holds the samauri together. Not true at all.... YOU are the glue. You have done so much for our group and so many of us look up to you. You always have the best outlook on life and are so positive despite the incredibly hard things your dealt. I admire you, not only as a quitter, but as a person. I'm truly blessed to be able to call you a friend and quit with you every damn day. Thank you for being our leader, friend, glue, rock, inspiration. Love ya dusty .... Mostly just because of the guns selfie though. :wub:
Xoxo... Ash
