730- Wow, 2 years ago I was still poisoning myself slavishly with skoal apple blend. 2 cans a day every day... I was so scared. Scared I would never be able to quit, scared I would die too young because of the poison, and scared that was powerless... Then 5/28/2013 I jumped into the KTC pool, and I started drinking the kool-aide! The first 100-230 days were filled with frustration, rage, and the anguish of ripping the poison out of my life, but those days were also filled with pride at accomplishing something I had long feared impossible for me. Along the way I have been helped and inspired by so many people here, and I want to thank them for helping me get to such a better place. The first year was full of ups and downs, but the second year has been easy freedom from the poison. The only fear in the second year was complacency and the horror of ever thinking I could have just one. Also sad to see some BAQ leave KTC, but it is nice that they have left because they feel so strong in their quit that they no longer feel they need KTC. Sorry starting to ramble, but just wanted to express my gratitude for KTC and to let the newbs know how much better it gets if you stay the course.

p.s. I am NOT fishing for 2 year kudos so if you stumble on this intro for the first time here don't feel the need to reply congrates, but rather just read this thread
Too bad Matt. Heres some Kudos. You were one of the first that replied to me when I first quit. You gave me hope that it could be done. So thanks Brother! Congrats on 2 years of Freedom! 'oh yeah' 'wave'
Big congrats and thanks! keep showing up! 'oh yeah'
Big thumbs up. Those that leave KTC leave a crack open for the poison to sneak back in. We don't do stupid shit like that.

I'll raise a toast to you tonight, Matt. Congratulations.
Well said Blo, I love you man. When I get to Buffalo (soon to near never) you will get a big ass kiss from this slut. EDD with you!!!
