Facebook just informed me that five years ago today I posted that I had been nicotine free for 365 days.

I'm surprised 6 years have gone by so fast since I Killed the Can.

I owe every one of those 2,190 days of nicotine-free existence to the badass quitters I encountered on this site. Thanks ya'll.

256 days ago I strolled into KTC, took my lumps for thinking I knew better than the vets, and then decided to suck it up, grab my balls, and post roll in Feb. 2012.

Today I just saw a quit brother I thought I'd walk with till I died post Day 1.

It just goes to show ANYONE can fail if they let their guard down and forget what brought them here in the first place, and ignore the tools they developed to protect their quit.

So today I decided to dig up my intro page and bump it because I wanted to make sure I had a reminder of the reason I'm here, and all the hard work I put into my quit.

I was the first to post roll Feb. 12 and I plan to be the last.

Long Live KTC. Long Live the Quit. Down with the Nic Bitch. And FUCK YOU CAVERS.

This dude is FU, thanks for doing what you do bigsky, I'm proud to be quit with you today.

Proud to be quit with you bigsky. Lookin forward to second floor.

I remember in the beginning I was secretly fantasizing you would leave the site or cave so bsd, tintin and myself could be the first to hit hasselHOF. When you took the reigns as the captain of our group, i secretly hated you and may have been planning a coupe de etat with other anonymous group members to take the group back to daily name changing shenanigans and unorganized bullshit. Why, I have no idea. I guess I had an aversion to authority. I was probably mostly just jealous. Now that we are where we are, I look back and can see your dedication then and the fruit of your labor now, and let me tell you it is cool to witness. And I am not surprised you hit hasselHOF one bit. It was almost a guaranteed event provided you didnt get murked in the ghettos of montana or lost on a bigsky mountain man expedition. Good shit brother been a wild ride.

BigSky,

You are a great example of what this is all about. I haven't read someone's whole introduction thread until today and I can say that it has given me a fresh perspective on my quit. To see your progression and know that there is someone else here who uses the positives in their lives to push away the negatives is affirmation enough that this can be done. Congratulations on 100 days! I quit with you today.

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

Wow. Thanks for the kind welcome. That's the inspiration I was looking for...

I guess I'll just stick to my plan and avoid this site after all.
sky man aint you glad you dint take your ball and go home?
I know I am. Sky you were (are) a real asset to our group particularly in the early days. And by asset I mean pain in the ass. I hated you in the fog, but will be forever grateful for you cracking the whip. Still haven't scheduled that trip to MT but it will happen some day.
Thanks Bro.
My the difference a hundred days of clarity makes. Nice work man.

Cross posting this here for posterity's sake...

Whoa dudes. I had a super intense chew dream last night. I don't remember the specifics, but I remember "waking" up (dream within a dream kinda thing), and not being able to resist putting a chew in my mouth. I was consciously thinking that it would throw my 38 days of quit down the toilet, and I would be betraying my brothers, and I didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway.

I felt like total shit. The only thing I can compare the way I felt in the dream to anything in my real life is the one and only time I ever cheated on a girlfriend. (She had been living out of state for like 8 months and we were on the verge of breaking up, but still). The sick, gut wrenching guilt I felt waking up the next morning was the same thing I felt in the dream.

How fucking amazing of a feeling to wake up and realize that I didn't actually dip and that it was all just a horrible dream.

I have my first dentist appointment in like 6 or 7 years this afternoon. I wonder if that had anything to do with it!

Anyway, thought I would share with the group. Again, this site affects you in more ways that you realize. The more seriously you take this site and your commitment to the quit brothers in here, the more successful you will be in your quit.

Long Live KTC.
sad part is man they dont go a way. man i had one in june this yeer bout a month afore i got my comma to. pist me off in dreem world but when i woke up i new it was just a dreem.
I don't know if I ever want them to go away. It's a powerful reminder of how serious this quit business is. Your subconscious mind has a way of telling you want you need to know. Maybe I was thinking about getting lazy, so my brain reminded me what would happen if I did.

I'm thankful for the dream. As much as it sucked, it's a small price to pay for a powerful reminder of the hard work we do here quitting one day at a time.
