You Sir, are in a group that I respect the most. It's because of men like you, that I can live a free life and be a goofball and just go around taking things for granted.

If in anyway, I could ever have your back, consider me there in a second.

Day 61 - 9/13/13
Let me first say that yesterday completely sucked for me. I was up late on Wednesday preparing for a client to come in, slept for 1.5 hours. Presented to owner (construction client) only to learn that their plans were completely replaced yesterday and what I stayed up late to do was null and void. Will be spending this weekend revising shit. Spent 14 hours in meetings with them reviewing all kinds of stuff. BUT I AM STILL QUIT, only had one problem yesterday not TWO!

Today is the 12 year mark from when I made my first of many trips over for the war. Not much has changed on this day, I look in the mirror see the same man, turn and look at the ink on my back that identifies my fallen brothers, stand a little taller because when I read their names I know they are watching me this day. Any of us that went over there saw some fucked up stuff, faced very adverse conditions, worked our asses off, buried friends, witness innocent civilians being mistreated, played with local kids and learn a great deal about freedom.

I am proud to say that over the last 61 days I have learned more about freedom. I am still an addict and will be until I have lived at least as much of my life dip freed as I did being a dipper. All that I can do is promise to be quit today, if tomorrow I happen to quit then good for me.

KTC Veterans thank you for your continued service and life examples here. Newbies read all that you can read, Quit like a beast and hold yourself accountable in everything you do and say.

My word is my bond and I QUIT with all of you today.

Day 66 - 9/18/13
Well I just have to say that days 64 through 66 sucked and sucked bad but I remain quit.

On my day 64 (Sunday) I learned from a client that they needed me to be at a meeting in Detroit on Monday morning. Hurried up booked airfare, rental car and hotel and then said goodbye to the family. Two days prior to this trip my allergies which I have never had allergies before my quit but who knows why. My sinuses were stopped up like crazy.

During the flight everything went fine, we descended into Detriot and my right ear wouldn't pop. I tried every trick in the book and nothing. Got to hotel checking in then went to pharmacy to get some decongestant to see if that would help...NOPE. Woke up ate breakfast and headed to meeting, still no pop, can't hear worth a damn.

Sat through 10 hour meeting, took notes added when necessary, then got asked to stay over one more night for another meeting the next day. I wanted to tell them that they already wasted a day and a half of my time but I checked my comment because they are the client.

Damnit I hate having to hold back my comments! Agreed to stay, went to hotel, watched Monday night football from hotel bar; right ear still seems plugged up can't hear shit out of it.

Today I am hoping to get into the Dr to have him look at my ear. I have flown more times than I can count, never once had an ear problem. My hearing is already strained from several years of abuse through, loud music, guns, construction, etc. I am totally OK with not hearing, but the feeling of pressure in there sucks. Don't worry all I will get the sand out of my vagina soon and will quit crying about my aches and pains.

Today I am sitting in my office, working through some changes for a project as were presented to me on Monday & Tuesday, typical things like trying to figure out how to shave 4 months off of an 18 month construction schedule, while delaying the start of construction because the designers are not as far along as one would like. Yes I spent 2.5 days hearing about a project only to find out that they want to reduce my timeframe yet do more work than originally discussed. Perhaps I shouldn't have retired from the USMC.

None the less through all that bullshit and time away form home with several chances to cave, I didn't. So Fuck You Nicotine I don't need you in my life right now! One problem is enough.

Just another day in paradise Pinched. I have always gotten bad allergy attacks in September ever since I can remember, and this year my left ear has been pressurized for the last week! Sucks. I've been stuffed up too with a dry scratchy throat and post nasal drip so bad I have puked a couple times. I used to stuff my face with poison when I had these symptoms, and I would get pissed b/c I couldn't enjoy that dip with not breathing through my nose and the sinus/ear pressure etc. I realize now that I was even more miserable b/c I could not keep the poison in long enough to get my fix. Damn straight you do not need another problem esp. the poison! Quit on bad ass.
I could quit all by myself if I was stranded on an island without any nicotine...

I had the same thing happen to my left ear last August flying back from NV. I had just gotten sick with drainage and congestion. Im not sure that my left ear ever popped, but it took a few days and some meds from the Dr for my congestion/pressure to go away. I was literally moaning and had tears coming down my cheeks from the pain. Seems like my ear never adjusted to the altitude and then while descending is when all hell broke loose in my left ear.

Good job on not caving and my empathy goes out to you on the non-popping ear.

I had this back in January too, I think if you're sick, it can be somewhat normal. Hope you got in to see the doc, mine didn't hardly stick his magnifier up to my ear & pulled back. Gave me some strong antibiotics right away. Felt like I'd been kicked in the side of the head.

Day 67 - 9/19/13
Well my ear is getting better now, went to the Dr at the end of the day. He prescribed some meds but first used basically a vacuum and it was the strangest thing I have ever encountered. Hearing is a little better but the feeling of having a swollen eardrum that is bloated full of something is gone. I never came to tears but I was damn close and I am not ashamed to admit it.

The good news from yesterday is that the motorcycle engine from my latest barn find is in good shape, needs honed, new pistons and balanced internally then I can focus on the other moving parts. The frame has stress cracks in three places but that is nothing that some welding and adding gussets can't fix.

I have found three different colors of paint on it so I am waiting to get a mix for what the manufacturer used to paint with so I can keep it original. Tires are easy to locate however several other parts are not. I have a couple of upcoming road trips to chase down parts.

The great news in all this is I am quit today. Can actually say I haven't even used fake in a few days. However, I started eating Jolly Ranchers like a fat kid through cake. That might be my next quit group resource to locate.

Final thought for the day is specifically for my Duck Fip Brothers and Sister. I understand that you might not like getting called out because you missed posting roll, I realize I shouldn't care so much about your quit, I have heard the stats many many times. Yet, I do care. I have grown to enjoy this group and know I wouldn't be here without you all. Also, think twice before you lash out about someone calling you out about roll. There is a lot of work that goes into people tracking roll and updating the QAS, plus we are quitters too. Never mess with a Bull because you never know when they are moody and you might get horned.

Glad the ear is better. I'm scared of flying to begin with...then throw in that my ears may not pop and I'd have to go through that again, and I'm not sure I could be easily talked into getting on another plane.


Let me rephrase: I'm not "technically" scared of flying...it's the getting 30 thousand feet in the air and then suddenly stop flying that scares me! 'help'

Day 67 - 9/19/13
Well my ear is getting better now, went to the Dr at the end of the day.  He prescribed some meds but first used basically a vacuum and it was the strangest thing I have ever encountered.  Hearing is a little better but the feeling of having a swollen eardrum that is bloated full of something is gone.  I never came to tears but I was damn close and I am not ashamed to admit it.

The good news from yesterday is that the motorcycle engine from my latest barn find is in good shape, needs honed, new pistons and balanced internally then I can focus on the other moving parts.  The frame has stress cracks in three places but that is nothing that some welding and adding gussets can't fix.

I have found three different colors of paint on it so I am waiting to get a mix for what the manufacturer used to paint with so I can keep it original.  Tires are easy to locate however several other parts are not.  I have a couple of upcoming road trips to chase down parts.

The great news in all this is I am quit today.  Can actually say I haven't even used fake in a few days.  However, I started eating Jolly Ranchers like a fat kid through cake.  That might be my next quit group resource to locate.

Final thought for the day is specifically for my Duck Fip Brothers and Sister.  I understand that you might not like getting called out because you missed posting roll, I realize I shouldn't care so much about your quit, I have heard the stats many many times.  Yet, I do care.  I have grown to enjoy this group and know I wouldn't be here without you all.  Also, think twice before you lash out about someone calling you out about roll.  There is a lot of work that goes into people tracking roll and updating the QAS, plus we are quitters too.  Never mess with a Bull because you never know when they are moody and you might get horned.

QFQQ,

Glad the ear is better. I'm scared of flying to begin with...then throw in that my ears may not pop and I'd have to go through that again, and I'm not sure I could be easily talked into getting on another plane.


Let me rephrase: I'm not "technically" scared of flying...it's the getting 30 thousand feet in the air and then suddenly stop flying that scares me! 'help'

Great job on your quit. Love reading your posts. Your in it to win it,, that's a fact. Glad your ear is better, although it is clear your listening skills have never diminished. It is great having quitters like you. You make quitting easier for so many others. I'll be glad to quit with you any day that ends with a y. Hey,, today ends in y!

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.
