Diesel's Intro Page

[rdad]

Way to be Diesel. The bell tolls for thee brother! Outstanding. Thanks for all your support.

7th floor. Cool.

Today was just a "normal" day.

Slept in til about 9:00. Just kind of vegged until I had to be to the field for my sons baseball game at noon.

Coached his team to a 23-1 loss, argued with other coach about one of his players using an illegal bat, in the process. Like it would have mattered...

Was happy the wife was taking the kids shopping after the game and I didn't have to go. Picked up some lunch (firehouse subs) took it home and watched the tigers game. Drifted in and out of sleep in the process, as Verlander toyed with a no hitter.

Woke up when wife and kids came home. Daughter had a softball game at 6:30 so I went out and worked with her a bit to get ready. Got to the field, other team didn't show...so I had to sit there and watch them practice in this brisk Michigan, May weather.

Came home, ate a late dinner, helped kids finish up homework, helped them get ready for bed and have been watching the boob tube ever since.

Dip never even crossed my mind today. I had zero anxiety, zero craves, zero anything. I was just like a real normal guy.

Well, that's what day 700 looks like from the Diesels eyes.

Pretty boring, eh?

God I love boring, and so will any of you who are struggling right now wondering if things will get better. They will. I promise.

Quit on...

That does sound very boring.....and I can't wait for boring!!! I'm less than 2 weeks from the Hall everyday isn't easy....in fact, most days lately have had a couple big time craves....thanks for sharing your boring day. I look forward to more boring days!!

[Winter Green]

[Emulator]

Congrats on 7th floor. Normal boring sounds great and a good thing to aspire too, when coming from the dysfunctional world of the Nic. Bitch who reared us "Brothers" suckling her saggy nic tits....... Quit on and thanks!......Robbie

Maybe if you would have paid attention to the Tigers game instead of snoozing Verlander would have gotten the no-no (actually I jinxed it by making fun of my neighbor, then whap, a single in the 6th). Gratz on the 7th floor Screamin' Eagle.

I was wondering who fucked it up for JV... 'finger point'

Congrats Diesel.

Nice Diesel! Thanks for sharing. What a journey... Man it is sure worth the ride!

I'm going to take a different approach, since this same exact thing happened to me. Others may disagree, and that's fine.

Do what you have to do to get yourself right and your anxiety under control. But you must remain quit.

Once you get stable again, you will be back. I guarantee it.

Let the doctors and therapists do their job. Anxiety is a mother fucker. It gets you thinking stuff you have no business thinking and its scary. Good news is you can reverse it and you have taken steps to do so. Shows me you really want this.

Once you get feeling better again you will realize that as great as the doctors/therapists are, they cannot relate to the daily struggles of beating nicotine addiction. That's when you will come back. Things will be less scary and you will be able to handle things better because you wont be riddled with anxiety and you won't be having irrational thoughts.

Get right, stay quit, and come back. I'll still be here.

Take care.

Take notice, I have seen and heard other state that a certain someone is a dickhead. Although I don't agree with everything other say on here all the time, I find it irrational to put a name on or place people in certain categories because of how you perceive or interpret their words. Diesel here is consistent, he types what he believe and he does what he can to support others. If nice guys always finish last I will be right in with this Quitter at the finish line every damn time.

However, look at posts like this where Diesel, not only injects his wisdom, but he also makes an offer to be here waiting for this quitter's return.

This is the kind of glue that hold KTC together, this is Brotherhood!

People been talking about me??? Lol. Thanks for the kind words.

I just really empathize with this dude. I was in the same exact spot. He is seeking help from professionals, just like I did. He is not saying he is going lone wolf or leaving the site all together. He says he's taking a break, to get right. It might be much needed for him and actually keep him quit, possibly alive.

Just my 2 cents on the matter since it struck so close to home.

Others will disagree and that's fine.

Quit on...

I don't disagree. I have no experience with anxiety related issues. I cant imagine having to deal with that kind of fear and deal with quitting dip at the same time. It scares me to think about it. I defer to those with more experience. "Different eyes see different things...Different hearts beat on different strings"
