Hey Benji. Wow....day 900? It still seems like it has been a life time since we quit.....and at the same time, it feels like week one. I could not be where I am without you. This is truth. I can never ever repay you for everything you have done for me. There just are no words.....
I am so happy to see you post day 900 today. I am so thankful for you. I am so happy to have finally met you....and I am always proud to be here each day with you. You have changed my life. You have helped me save my life. I am always here, in your corner, with support, and beaming pride!
Powerful^^

Mr Dover, what a great fight and still winning after 900 days.
I'm so fortunate to have met you in my first days here in the live chat, saved my life! I'm quitting with you today.
I'll quit with you any day

To the next 100! One day at a time. :)

Hey man, Congrats on 900!

528 days ago I was the crabby foggy bastard that stumbled in to chat and found another guy from MN willing to support me in my new quit. A couple of days later this tall guy named MN_Ben strolls in to the liquor store I work at part-time and put a face to the support. Without you I would not still be here. Thanks Ben and Congrats! QLFEDD!
Congrats on 900 and keep on keeping on!
Keep stacking them up man! Model quitter here folks, get to know him!
'oh yeah'
Thank you guys :)

I remember being pre HOF and talking to guys who had big day counts approaching 1000 and I remember thinking I couldn't even imagine being that far in, yet here I am.. one day at a time :)

800 days...

800 days since I altered the course of my life and took control and kicked the nic bitch to the curb. In a way it almost seems like a distant memory now, and in other ways it seems like just yesterday I found my way into the KTC chat room, foggy as fuck, and finding nothing but support, brotherhood and a lot of laughs.

800 days of taking my life back, 81 pounds lighter today than the day I quit.

I owe a lot to the guys who have helped me along the way, and I've met a lot of really really good people, both virtually and in person.

If you are thinking about quitting, do it, you can't change the fact that you've dipped in the past, what you can do is make a change and take control now.
Congrats on your 800 days Ben!
Congrats on 800 and congrats on the 81 as well. Both are awesome accomplishments!
BA! BA! BA! BA! BA! BA! BA! BA! 8 Times.....
Quitting with you today and everyday! Congrats brother
Quitting every damn day since October 21, 2013
