You guys may think this is a joke but I was going to give this girl at work a jump start the other day and I opened my hood for the first time and there was no battery under there. I closed it and have never opened it again....

I know this is Pinched intro.... but PDawg - you just forfeited your man card.

Dude, my wife took that away 7 years ago....

Pinched has enough balls for two people, why do you think I am always hanging around with him?

ya but his CAC is broken...oh well I guess its fixed now

Fixed and to demystify what I was talking a out, simple 4" long piece of rubber hose that is 3.5" in diameter but has air pressurized at around 25 PSI, in other words it was loud and sounded like my engine farted. Before Trauma chimes is with I drive a Ford so it probably did fart. After that part the truck ran like a dog with 1/3 the power as normal.

I am just glad that I don't have diesel soot or oil in my mouth while I fixed it.

Day 81 - 10/3/13
I am very happy to say that for the past two days the 70s funk seems to have passed. For those of you that have not yet hit that mark, it is a lull in time of your quit where I just felt down, a little foggy, lots of cravings, slow, irritable, and just plain blah.

Thank god I have the KTC site and a good many people to text me and remind me at what always seems to be the perfect time. I know that without this continued support I wouldn't be here.

My advice to everyone is invest a little bit of time in not just your quit but others as well. This is also known as paying it forward. No matter what "Group" you are in we are all addicts and we are quitting together whether you are on day 1 or day 3,000 your quit pants go on one day at a time.

Day 85 - 10/7/13
Today I am quit, this weekend was very trying on my quit but I am still quit. On Thursday evening I learned that my mother has pneumonia as well as MRSA in her nose. She has worked in healthcare for her entire life so the MRSA in the nose is not really a surprise. She continues to grow stronger each day but will probably remain hospitalized until mid this week. My father passed away 10 months ago so she is best in the hospital as me and my siblings all work as well. Sounds terrible but isn't intended that way.

I contemplated changing my plans because of this but I didn't. This weekend I camped out with the Boy Scouts for a Rendezvous encampment, where most of the adults dress up as though they are early settlers and put on an interactive display for the kids. I always get stuck working the Tomahawk throw which is fun for me anyway because I get to be the last line of defense keeping boys from playing catch with sharp tomahawks. No one was injured and every boy I worked with got at least one tomahawk to stick in the log target.

Also, on Saturday I ran a 3 hour camp for new incoming Cub Scouts. This is an introduction camp for boys to join Cub Scouts and allows new scouts to immediately do the Archery, BB guns and slingshots that they all join Cub Scouts to do any way. I have been running this camp for now 5 years. Each year I have fun doing it but this year it was different. Never once did I have to sneak around hide in the woods or "go to the bathroom" to sneak in a dip. I didn't even have an urge or craving to either.

The weekend went great, we recruited 37 new boys into Cub Scouting and now typing that number I realize that is now almost 74 more parents that I am going to have to deal with on a regular basis, but for now I will assume that half of them will be normal.

I continue to be inspired each day by the fellow Ducks as they hit the HOF, I am right behind all of you and I support you all today. Also thanks to all the others from KTC that help me on a regular basis.

Good job making it throught the weekend. At times life is unfair but that's not an excuse to change our plans here. MRSA sucks but it isn't new. It has been around for thousands of years, there was just never a test to isolate it from other staphs that do respond to methicillian drugs. They say that if they did a swab of 100 peoples skin it would be on 95% of them. The issue is if it finds a way into the body and makes itself at home. Don't worry (at least try) about anything until you have something to worry about, then remember a problem + dip = 2 problems.

Pinched, stay strong and focused on what is important. You will perservere through this, but do not get discouraged with what you are facing and what you have little or no control over. Remember Jarhead, you have alot of guys pulling for you and will be with you every step of the way on our journey. Proud to be quit with you.

Day 89 - 10/11/13
Been about a week since my last post. I got to drown myself in work out in Denver for the bulk of the week. Was a beautiful week, but I returned home, started my bike and drove to my mom's house. She is now home after being diagnosed with adult whooping cough, MRSA in her nose, pneumonia and god knows what else.

She is pretty tough though, made it through three girls and me (probably the biggest test), then was a pillar when my father passed. There is no doubt in my mind that she will recover, hell she is probably planting bulbs for next spring today, repainting the house or something else amazing.

Looking forward to meeting up with another KTC quitter next week. I cannot wait to personally extend my accountability net. I have said it before and I will again, I truly believe that KTCers should get into the site to see what it really does when you dive deep into it. Productivity at work or around the house may decrease at times but the experience and support here is unparalleled.

Day 93 - 10/15/13
Trying to quit and crossing lines
My note today was conjured up from two different individuals that commented one yesterday and one today.

First, a quitter commented that they were watching for me to cross the HOF line. That came from a quitter that when he was very new in his quit I reached out to help him along much like other have done for me. This young man probably inspired my quit more than he realizes because I wish that at his age I would have had the mental aptitude to realize that I could quit. Then again if I would have successfully quit way back then I wouldn't have met as many stand up guys and gals as I have on here. JGBTX thank you for letting me help and for reminding me today just how awesome this site is. He is not a man of many words in his intro, but he is consistently posting roll with his group.

Second, a brand new quitter indicated that he was trying to quit. I like many other immediately chimed in to let them know that there is no trying just doing. My late grandfather who I lived with for 5 years and was a retired USMC Drill Instructor and also the man that introduced me to worm dirt once told me that if I mentally prepared to try that meant I was prepared to fail. Although at the age of 11 I had no clue what that meant. Now I have grasped the full understanding of it.

I am one week away from hitting my 100th day, and I know that I have no choice but to continue my presence on KTC as I am not healed. I still get cravings, I still have rage episodes, but the great news is that I have not provided financial support for UST for 93 days.

You get it Pinched. Once you get out of the fog and start paying forward all the help you get early in your quit you realize new quitters are looking at you to lead the way. Nice extra layer of accountability.
I could quit all by myself if I was stranded on an island without any nicotine...
