So life has been crazy the last few weeks. A finance manager with my company quit a couple weeks ago and it was decided to not replace him. I'm just gonna take on his work load. That's great as far as money goes but I have been running non stop. Working at 8 am and not getting home till 10-11 pm. I feel like craves have been harder. And at a time that I feel like I need more involvement on KTC to stay focused, I'm so busy that I'm barely able to keep up with much more then roll. I love what I do and I like the money but I need to find a way to be more involved with less time. I'm feeling a little exposed. If that makes sense......

Perhaps shooting a text to a quit brother every so often would help. I do that randomly sometimes and I am usually inspired by the message I get back. B)B
My brother I'm a text away. I will say what I always say to my worker's, money is not everything. I'm sure you're not just doing it for the money but I will honestly say I have missed your wisdom here as of late!
I don't know if I'd call it wisdom but I appreciate that bro. For my own quit health I'm gonna have to change up my old schedule so I can get/give what I need here.
Ok Boss.. it's time to get over the hump.
We live in a fallen world. And life is always crazy.
Always going to be issues.
NICOTINE will never help.
Take it off the list of possibilities.
You and I will never touch it again.
You have to find other ways to handle all the issues that are just around the corner.

The nic boat has been burned.
No need in talking about.
We survive or die tomorrow.
But Will do it QUIT!

You wanta talk about life... Lets talk about how to handle issues as adults.
Not as boys with a bandaid nic poison that is lurking in the shadows.
No more fear.... The bitch is dead.

I respect you and your quit. Im just a sword sharpening another sword to do battle again tomorrow.

We are free... Because we know the truth.
I quit with you IDWC...

I just read all your posts here IDWC. I suggest you go back and read them as well. You should feel damn proud of yourself and the person you have become from this journey. Today I'm 112 days quit and I was having my first moment of weakness in a while. Reading your introduction tonight helped me stay quit. Thank you!

Thank you to all of you. It's been a hell of a year. Most days are relatively easy and then some are still as tough as they were in the beginning. But the beauty of KTC and the brotherhood built here is that I'm never without a lifeline when needed or the tools learned to overcome even the strongest of the Nic bitchs tricks. I've come a long way but have so much further to go. This addiction will forever be present. And remembering "day 1" is a good start to never returning. QLF with all of you.

It's been almost 6 months since I posted here. I'm on day 682 and yet most days I feel more vulnerable in my quit then I did even in the beginning. I wish you new guys were able to read my thread and see that the struggle goes away, but it's not the case. I coasted for almost a year with few moments of question. But the last several months seem to present struggles daily. The most notable would be complacency. After almost 2 years I feel like I should have this addiction beat but everyday it seems that I have a moment or two where I want to say "fuck it" and leave this brotherhood so I can fall on my face in private. It's been these last few months that I've become acutely aware of the need to stay and continue to learn about my addiction and who I am as a quitter. As simple as the solution sounds though I'm finding it hard to live out. Work is busier then ever and my time to roam these halls is more limited then it was in the past. So how do I break out of the dangerous cycle I've been in? Take it back to the basics! Rather then looking at my day count and feeling inadequate because I'm not at some level of quit that Ive put on myself I'm going to go back to focusing on today. I'm an addict who only has to worry about ODAAT. The 681 days before today don't mean shit if I lose sight of today. So in closing, I have realized that days quit isn't as important as quitting today. And focusing on that alone. Stay focused new quitters. Most days get better. Once and awhile though we have to be reminded where we come from and regroup our efforts. The alternative is failure.

Failure is not an option and I am glad to see you have the tools to recognize a funk and realize where you have come from. Some days it is truly ODAAT. Knowing that
helps keep you quit. Thanks for bringing this up and hopefully all will learn from it. We stay accountable we stay quit. Proud to be quit with you today IDWC.
