Day 301 - Wow, never would have thought that I would have made it this far. To actually teach an old dog new tricks... Priceless! Well, I didn't make it to day 300 on my own power. There are some bad asses here, quite a few have gone before me and lead the way, too many to name... what the hell, they deserve it as they are the teachers and the leaders. Newbies, if you are reading this these guys helped and continue to help my quit. If you ever get the change, seek the wisdom these guys have: Husker06484, DaveVT, Miles, Rocketman, Cbird65, Mookie, Bis-cut, mich_34, Eric71. My brothers from the December Wreckin' Crew: Boelker62, lcwb96, mfkuss, 916quit, 05wrxing, mfkuss DiplessinJax, Gunner75, The Dali... Taz, iiz, Jaynellie, Srans.
The brothers and sister still standing from July 2013. I couldn't ever leave out the posse as these guys who will kick my a$$ if I ever decide to make a bad choice. AppleJack, Traumanet and Quit. These guys have been there Every Damn Day pushing me, trusting me and often leading me forward as opposed to me leading them. These guys are true bad asses of quit and I'm proud to call them friends.
Last but not least these guys are bad asses in their own right and I'm proud to know them as they have helped my quit in ways they have no idea about until they get to this point in their quit. Duathman, Pinched, Haas, Zak, BudMan and Sparrow.
So, these are my All Stars/Pro Bowl selections. I must add my wife and kids who have put up with my stupid $hit along the way. I am so glad to be done with the cravings that have brought me to my knees and turned me into a wild man at times. I know my wife can see the craves happening before I can and will tell me to go out and cut some wood or pound some nails somewhere. She has been there to protect me from myself and my hero. So, some words of wisdom. Go buy your wife some flowers because I know it's probably a full time job keeping an addict happy and free from his addiction.
At 300, it's time to reflect as I have done 100 days, three times now. Looking at those chunks of times... Days 1-100 Sucked but were interesting because of the friends being made and being in the same suck as everyone else. It was character building. Days 101-200 Sucked but not as bad, still had cravings and found it enjoyable to help some of the new quitters It was freedom building. Days 201-300 Finally, peace, cravings have subsided. When they come, they are easily put away. Freedom phase. Days 301-400 I am looking forward to building on my quit and being further from my addiction each and every day but I'll take it one day at a time still!
Thanks everyone for supporting me and others on this site. There are other ways to quit but in this old dogs opinion, this is the only way to quit. Proud to be quit with each and everyone of you today! Let's continue on and do this thing right!
