Here we go again

[THansen2413]

I guess I've been secluding myself these past few days. I haven't been posting support in all the groups I use to. I haven't been in chat, like I use to. It's even been a struggle to post roll in the morning. Nobody outside of "The Epic 8" and my closest quit buddies know what's going on with me. I'm not sure why I haven't updated my intro until now...but I haven't. Maybe I wasn't ready to talk about it...maybe I was in denial. Whatever the case.. I owe my supporters an explanation. I also need to update my intro...no matter how painful this chapter in my quit book may be... it needs to be dealt with.

My Grandma's health has been on the decline for the past month. This is the Grandma who would watch me in the summertime, every summer. This is the Grandma who'd come to all my activities in school. Not because my other grandparents wouldn't. Just because she lived 3 blocks away from me. My other grandparents lived 3 hrs. This last Saturday...she suffered a devastating stroke. She now, eats 1 one meal a day..and that's on a good day. She no longer is able to talk, walk, move, etc. She is dependent on everyone else. On a good day, she may be awake for 2 hrs...and that's top. Just enough time for my Mom to spoon in blended food, and a supplement drink.

This finally became a reality to me this week. I visited her Monday, and tried profusely to wake her up. No luck. After we had got home, my Mom was very upset. My Dad, I love him, but he's a no show emotions guy. He'd rather sit and read his paper and watch the news than have to talk. I get my compassion, and tender heart from my Mom. I thank her for that, every chance I get. I'd rather be a teary eyed, teddy bear, than a closed off, silent man who watches from the sidelines.

Back to point in hand... my Mom sat on the couch with her head held low. I sat next to her, and gave her a hug, embraced her, and she broke down. Subsequently, I did too...and did for most of the night. At 212 days quit... I felt like I was back at B.C Day 1. I honestly had a moment where I said "f it"... "I really don't care". I'm not proud to say that...but I did. I pondered calling each of my quit bros and asking for permission to cave. But, I knew what they'd say. I knew how I'd feel the day after. All that hard work, dedication, preaching...down the drain. So I didn't. Instead I text them. I spoke with them for most of the night. MonsterEMT and Sixer were my guardian angels that night. They listened... they gave advice... and I listened.

Today, my Grandma was put on hospice. Her time on Earth is dwindling by the minute. bronc, gave me some good advice today...and I'm still coming to grips with telling my grandma, "goodbye...it's ok to go now". Even typing that.. I have tears in my eyes. I'm not ready to say that..but I know it has to be done soon. Point is... it's ok to talk about personal things with other men. It's ok to shed...ok, cry like a man. It's what kept me quit. My Grandma would be proud to know that I'm 214 days quit today. She'd be giving me a lecture and disappointed if I caved because of something so natural as death. I've never dealt with death before. At 24, I'm blessed to not have had a family member die yet. Maybe this can help some noob, or someone in my shoes.

When I use to put "NAFAR" in some of my postings....I didn't stop and think what I was saying. Today, I realize just how "powerful" that is. Never Again For Any Reason... that includes you in your darkest hour, and your lowest point.

One foot in front of the other...and before long... I will have overcome this latest mountain.

Thanks for the support and guidance, my brothers and sisters.

In no way, shape, or form do I want to take away from any new guy/gal intro. I just want to say, and acknowledge, everybody who has thanked me on reaching, Day 200.

From the bottom of my heart... Thank you. I wouldn't be able to stand before you today, quit, 100% roll posting status, and feeling as confident as ever if it wasn't for all of you.

June has decided, as requested by Cherman (great job Chris) to not acknowledge the next milestone until Day 365 ( 1 year). I'll update as needed...but for the most part.... I look forward to posting roll, supporting others, and staying quit until that 1 year mark.

I'll keep it short, and sweet.

This place works. Follow the recipe. Make friends. Honor your promise EDD (every damn day). You too, can be me.


edit: Btw.... rewind to however many days you've been quit. The first thing you (and I) use to do was throw in a dip of poison in the morning. What do you (I) do now? Log onto KTC and post roll! I love being quit w/ each and everyone of you!

Bam Thansen! You got that Nic Bitch right in the Ass. If only everyone were like you. There would be no caving that's for sure.
Remain diligent!

THansen, intros are here for quitters new and quitters of old. They are our journals and when we succeed in our quits they must be celebrated. Quitting is no easy task and it is a task that must be taken seriously and acted upon vigilantly every damn day. So when you succeed in fulfilling your daily oath, then dammit, I want to know about it and celebrate it with you. If you want to celebrate a personal victory along the way or a new learning, then I want to know about that too. Keep doing what you're doing, and that's showing us the way. Like my man Rdad said, if we were all like you, then caving would be a thing of the past.

Intro updates are amazing. Because they give you a chance to tell us and acknowledge to yourself where you are on the journey, but also to go and look back at where you've gone from. Go back at look at your first post. Day 200 will look even sweeter.

Congratulations. One day at a time you are taking your life back. Because it really does keep getting better....

Day 190

I've modeled my quest for 200 days, much like my first 100 days...with a few tweaks. So why I am writing this now? Because like my first 100 days, I enjoyed those last 10 magical days before reaching the 1st floor. So I'm going to do just that before I reach the 2nd floor, while still being mindful that I am an addict. My last 90 days have been far more enjoyable than my first 100....and here's why.

I have accountability that should make others on this site jealous. My core group of June Saloon dudes, are the best in the business, and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. Those are my core dudes, the dudes that would call me by 11am to make sure I'm still alive if I wasn't on roll.

My next level are the guys I've met from other groups. Those could be older vets, or younger HOF classes. You keep me wanting to come back to see you continue to succeed. I've had the honor of not only posting roll with a lot of you, but developing personal friendships. That adds a wrinkle of accountability, that I could only compare to the mystical "God particle". It can't be described, but when you achieve a friendship with a stranger who is quit with you... you'll most certainly feel it.

The last level, arguably my favorite, is helping the young guns. The guys and gals who are posting Day 1's or 1 months. You keep me humble and inspired to continue the fight. You have no idea at this point in your quit what those first 2 levels of accountability (as defined by me) mean. But I hope you will....and I'll do everything I possibly can, without actually quitting for you, to see you reach those levels.

I've faced many battles in these last 90 days, that have truly tested me. Some examples.... going through summer, without dipping. Golfing, without dipping. Holidays, without dipping. Firing an employee, without dipping. Boating, without dipping. Bonfires, without dipping. The list is long, but those are the ones that come to mind.

At this point in my quit, many of you have probably seen my name in the support section of your group. You may have chatted with me in Live Chat. Or, you may have seen one of my ramblings on a thread or an introduction. You wouldn't have seen that in my first 100 days. Right after the HOF, at least for me, I got a euphoric feeling. "Let's help and comment on everything I possibly can!" That's not healthy. Find a balance, help who you can, and inspire others to help, so the load isn't so much to handle.

Here's why I still post roll and will continue to

1. Why not? Is it harming anything? No
2. I'm perfect so far. Do I really want to throw that away? No
3. I have friends on here. Do I want to forget I ever met them? No
4. It's worked so far. Why change? I won't change
5. I'm a man. I admit I'm an addict and always will be. I promise daily to quit, and come back the next day and quit all over again. I will

Keep up the good work TH. I quit with you EDD.

TH, your a beast. I quit w/ you!

Thanks so much for posting this! It is incredibly encouraging to a day 44 guy!!

Tyler, you are a rock of quit ... proud as hell to call you a brother!

I've said it before (in my best Asian voice) ... Me love you long time!

Rock On! nice quit you've built in here.

Words to live by! Everyone should read this! Proud to be quit with you today!

Great stuff as usual, T. Proud to be with you.

Right on brother! All 5 great reasons to keep doing it.

I love this post.. I agree with all of it, and I hope some of the newer guys take the time to read it.. proud to be quit with you THansen

Love this. Good stuff as always!

and the equation: Accountability + Brotherhood = Success holds true yet again. No matter which way you spin it, it cannot be proven wrong. Well done TH, you're showing us the way to live this.

this is why i'm a charter member in the THansen fan club. Friggin' bad a** quitter!

EDD with you Tyler. Love the pearls of wisdom.

Ambled over to read your day 190 at the suggestion of a post by CavMan in Sept. Good stuff Hansen. I don't regret much at all in my life but damn it would have been nice to grow smarts at your age.

4. It's worked so far. Why change? I won't change
5. I'm a man. I admit I'm an addict and always will be. I promise daily to quit, and come back the next day and quit all over again. I will

Keep up the good work TH. I quit with you EDD.

Keep up the good fight Thansen! Congrats on you nearing your second floor. Quit on!

Rock On! nice quit you've built in here.

Words to live by! Everyone should read this! Proud to be quit with you today!

Day 190

I've modeled my quest for 200 days, much like my first 100 days...with a few tweaks. So why I am writing this now? Because like my first 100 days, I enjoyed those last 10 magical days before reaching the 1st floor. So I'm going to do just that before I reach the 2nd floor, while still being mindful that I am an addict. My last 90 days have been far more enjoyable than my first 100....and here's why.

I have accountability that should make others on this site jealous. My core group of June Saloon dudes, are the best in the business, and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. Those are my core dudes, the dudes that would call me by 11am to make sure I'm still alive if I wasn't on roll.

My next level are the guys I've met from other groups. Those could be older vets, or younger HOF classes. You keep me wanting to come back to see you continue to succeed. I've had the honor of not only posting roll with a lot of you, but developing personal friendships. That adds a wrinkle of accountability, that I could only compare to the mystical "God particle". It can't be described, but when you achieve a friendship with a stranger who is quit with you... you'll most certainly feel it.

The last level, arguably my favorite, is helping the young guns. The guys and gals who are posting Day 1's or 1 months. You keep me humble and inspired to continue the fight. You have no idea at this point in your quit what those first 2 levels of accountability (as defined by me) mean. But I hope you will....and I'll do everything I possibly can, without actually quitting for you, to see you reach those levels.

I've faced many battles in these last 90 days, that have truly tested me. Some examples.... going through summer, without dipping. Golfing, without dipping. Holidays, without dipping. Firing an employee, without dipping. Boating, without dipping. Bonfires, without dipping. The list is long, but those are the ones that come to mind.

At this point in my quit, many of you have probably seen my name in the support section of your group. You may have chatted with me in Live Chat. Or, you may have seen one of my ramblings on a thread or an introduction. You wouldn't have seen that in my first 100 days. Right after the HOF, at least for me, I got a euphoric feeling. "Let's help and comment on everything I possibly can!" That's not healthy. Find a balance, help who you can, and inspire others to help, so the load isn't so much to handle.

Here's why I still post roll and will continue to

1. Why not? Is it harming anything? No
2. I'm perfect so far. Do I really want to throw that away? No
3. I have friends on here. Do I want to forget I ever met them? No
4. It's worked so far. Why change? I won't change
5. I'm a man. I admit I'm an addict and always will be. I promise daily to quit, and come back the next day and quit all over again. I will
