Rad, you are a rockstar! congrats on the comma, my friend.

Radman! First congrats, second thanks for paying it forward. Without your advice, and support my early days would of been even harder and I may have not made it. I'll never forget your help and I am damn proud to quit with you.

Welcome to Commaville...

Thanks to all of you. Everybody works together here, from the vets far beyond me, right down to the newest quitters. Every member brings something to the table.

Well, except maybe Bean, who is just a smartass. You know I'm kidding, bro.... see you on roll tomorrow.

CBird makes a good point. Spread the accountability path as wide as possible. Those guys made time in their schedules to welcome me to Dallas. They didn't do anything about that 112 degree heat, though.

When I joined this site back in 2010, I never posted an official intro.  I just got busy reading and posting roll and never looked back.  Today I reached a milestone that has up until even yesterday seemed unreachable.  As an addict that had repeatedly failed at quit attempts, I never thought this was possible.  Without KTC and all my brothers and sisters here, it wasn't. 

The following is actually copied from my post to a social media site.  I intended to make a very basic post, but it evolved as I typed.  After some thought, I decided to also post it here for safekeeping.  It isn't really an official introduction, but it tells y'all eveything you need to know about my quit.

1000 days nicotine free. I've been undecided about what to say on this milestone day. So, I'll try to explain the answer to a question that I don't think anybody has actually verbalized to me. Why did I quit? I figure nobody asked because most folks assume it was for my health or money. Nope, I wasn't strong enough to quit for either of those reasons. On September 15, 2010, one of my twins (2 years old then) spit by our feet and proudly said "like daddy". That was one of the worst moments of my life. After a flurry of scattered thoughts, I silently walked away in tears. I had dedicated my life to raising my children, and seemingly the only thing he had learned was that self-inflicting illness and disease must be cool because daddy does it. I had failed. There has not been any tobacco or nicotine in my body since that very minute, and hopefully my boys have better things to remember. I cannot control what my kids do with their life and health in the long run, but I can guarantee this: if they become addicts, it WILL NOT be because they are following an example that is being set by me. They know my story. They know how much hatred I harbor for everything related to tobacco. I will continue to explain things to them that I wish I new 25 years ago. It is a destructive drug, and my body has thanked me repeatedly for quitting. Hopefully one day my three sons will thank me as well. If they steer clear of the addiction themselves, that'll be thanks enough.

Just awesome , awesome , awesome... You are the inspiration thats needed on this site. Just yesterday, while riding our golfcart around the property, my 2 year old daughter leaned off to the side and spit. I was using the hooche fake dip and she was replicating what i was doing. I told her spitting was disgusting and we shouldnt do it. She has asked many times before, what dat in your mouf diddy,
Im glad i am quit with you today.

Thinks radman. Always enjoy reading your posts. You have helped me stay quit another day. Glad to be quit with you.

^^^ YES ^^^

Congrats Rad. I bumped along here doing the minimum (posting roll) until I began to realize this site was working. I was humbled and started to develop a "pay it forward" mentality. Radman was one those familiar who inspired me to do more than the minimum. I hope my words help others. But I KNOW my activity has helped me. And that is due, in large part, to Rad.

(Don't get cocky...I still think you're a dick way down in my heart).

I was 'all in' about posting and will be as long as I have a heartbeat . I even dabbled around in the paying forward part of the quit but it was meeting kdip, rocketman, bruce the ghey, you and greg5280 shortly after hitting the Hall that got me paying it backward as well. Thanks for helping plow the row!!!

Noobs- spend some time w guys like this watch your quit grow .......

Rad, you are just that...RAD!!! Nice, tenth floor.
