Here it is... day 1 of my quit. Been at this for 25 years, 2 cans a day at least. I'm tired, man. Tired of needing, tired of sneaking, tired of knowing my wife thinks just a li'l bit less of me, tired of hoping to be around for my daughter, tired of a ridiculous weed running my life... DONE!!!! Am I terrified? Yup.
8 years ago this morning, I sat and stared at my laptop wondering what to type to get this quit rolling. Well... it wasn’t brilliant but it WAS honest.

Fast forward full circle... I’m sitting in the same chair staring at a screen and wondering what to type.

I got nothin’. Lol

Practice what we preach:
One day at a time.
Get involved.
Stay involved.
Post your promise.
Keep your word.
Do it again tomorrow.

It works. Ask me how I know...

congrats on 8 years Shane! You have a stake in my quitting weather you know it or not and I appreciate you! Thanks for all ya do!

Congrats AJ.  We are lucky to have you!
Congrats brother. Keep leading the way.
Thank you for helping pave that path for all of us. Stay strong my friend.
so very proud of you man.
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Geez.
This poor dusty thing was 11 pages down the intro waste bin. I should give it some love once in awhile.


Today, I posted up this number in my July ‘13 group:

2,800

I even typed that comma... I type it in every day. I earned that shit! Lol! Every new HOF number that rolls by gets me to thinking and reflecting and reinforces my deep gratitude for these halls. Without this place at ‘that’ time in April of 2013, I have a pretty good idea of the quality of life I’d be “enjoying”... stuck in an endless rut of lying and denial and fear and shame and ALL the various and similar garbage that this addiction saddles you with.

That’s not life, man.
Addiction over/hyper saturates the entirety of your life’s rhythm. It runs the show.
That’s not freedom, man.

This place...
This place gave me the tools to get strong and...
take back my life and...
do away with the need to lie and...
reverse the denial and...
conquer the fear and...
own the shame...
So that I could be free.

The freedom that exists in being able to face your addiction and tell it to “Fuck off” with complete authority is...

Life.
Congratulations on the 2800 days free my brother.
PNW Power right here!
Thank you for still walking these halls and showing us the power of brotherhood and accountability.
We are or were all scared, scared of failing mainly, scared of dealing with things without the mask of the bitch nicotine.
I am proud to quit with you and your no-nonsense approach to the quit.

Good for you! Good for you! Tip of the cap on such a worthy number. Stay strong!

Many of quitters I’m sure owe you a Thank You!  Personally I would like to say I appreciate you taking the time to comment and help a young quitter through the struggle.  Keep on my friend!

Damn. This intro is dusty as hell! Haha


This is life today. Check this out:

AJ... 2,500



Almost 7 years ago I was looking at a blinking cursor on my laptop screen, knowing that the next words I typed on this site were going to be epic. Life changing. Scary. Needed.

“AppleJack... Day 1”
(I still have no damn idea why I stuck with that stupid name.)

I have no special knowledge to impart today. This process is pretty damn easy. Make your decision. Own it. Work it. Get involved here. Stay involved here.

Done.

I’m not even close to the activity level I practiced during my first year or two after quitting. But... still here every day. Still 100% on daily roll. Don’t plan on changing that any time soon. The 10-20 seconds it takes to post up and strengthen my quit each day are gladly given. Gladly. It’s the cost of freedom but it’s NOTHING compared to the benefit of freedom.
Complete badass quitter here. Not easy but it's simple!

Impressive and BADASS
Thanks for your leadership over the past 7 years, Shane.  We've seen a lot of stuff here... leaders come and go, drama out the wazoo, threats, platform changes, lost friends to cancer, seen divorces and health problems play out, but in the end... we keep following the plan that was laid out by KTC (post roll, keep your promise, brotherhood + accountability = success) and here we are - winning at something that seemed so damn impossible. 

Thanks for being a leader, and a friend.  Congratulations on another huge milestone - with many more to come.
