HOF Speech

Here in THIS house, we Kill the Can. If it's not a top priority, go to one of the bitch sites where they "hurt the can" or "call the can names." - Pre

This is so much more that just throwing your name on a list, it is placing your word or promise that you will not use nicotine and it should be done everyday. - MCarmo44

I need this place, because i am an addict. I cannot forget that...if i do i will forget how to quit. - Schaef418

What will you do w your quit today?

I will and have posted my word.
I have interwoven that promise into many rooms.
I will assist if possible.

I will not allow the selfish minded stoppers, who are only looking for an excuse to go back into slavery, discourage or impede my quit.
I will and have posted roll
I have posted roll on at least 15 other pages
I will exchange text messages today with my quit brothers

Above all, I will uphold my promise to me and to this sanctitude that I will not use nicotine in any form for today.

(P.S. I love the fact that a quitter with 1,000 plus days started this topic)
I posted my promise today and spent the last hour posting support in other brothers groups
I too, like by March Brother Steakbomb, will text my quit brothers
If the thought of Nicotine enters my brain I will dismiss it by thinking of all my brothers and sisters fighting the same thing with me.
I will stay free today.
Keep groovin bombs center cut. Thanks for continued badassedness.
^^^^^^And that gentlemen is how one achieves 3 years ODAAT! Congratulations CBird!

Hey Cbird.

Just a quick note of appreciation to you.....for helping me save my life.

Just wanted you to know this as you chill on your porch.

Retirement looks good on you!

There's some weakassery quit stoppages go on around here 'bang head'.
Quitting an addiction is a daily event and we do it every damn day. No matter what your day count is if you aren't gearing for up for a battle you are surrendering your fight against a drug that will put you in the ground w/o blinking an eye.
Secondly, for all you F'n blowhards who think your quit doesn't stink because you're 100% poster .. step off!
I have never subscribed to ball-coddling but your vitriolic rants only take up space here. Big difference between holding someone accountable and running some off. That being said - this is an open site and it is extreme or so SAC UP - take what you need and leave the rest!
Thirdly, if you are actively paying it foward/backward on this site -WHY ARENT YOU???
Well said Cbird. There's construction criticism and then there is assholeism. They think if you're not an asshole then you must be soft. Damn shame because sometimes when these 'internet badasses' (laughable) stop spewing their hate and stop trying to be the 'toughest internet poster' out there- sometimes they actually have some constructive and fluid thoughts. But hey nicotine effects all different types of folks, even the folks that aren't confident enough in themselves to reach a hand out and help when someone has fallen- nah instead they'd rather step on heads and kick people when they are down. Then they pat themselves on the back and look for approval from the other internet thugs. "Wohoo- way to go- you really typed some mean stuff- you're a true internet typing badass- you really showed that guy how much of a big bad internet poster you are. Man you're so cool."

Quit with you all day Cbird.

Congrats on Giving the Business to the nic bitch for 1,000 days!!!!
'tough'
whaa? I thought it was tomorrow. I had strippers ready to jump outta a cake. Okay, back in the cake, tarp and BradleyGuy.
You know...when you first came here, I was just a fledgling quitter with a militant attitude about roll call. April 2012 is still one my favorite groups of all times, and you guys are still rocking this shit today. Good for you, and thank you for your leadership style. Fuck the noise. Put your head down and get. it. done.

Every damn day, man.

So fucking proud of you.
[pours some OE] glass house 4ever.
You're The Quitter in my book Cbird!! All them early daze of mine on chat and how you made me laugh just to get through another crave.
I appreciate you being there Bird. The desk drawer is worn out now...LOL. Quitter with the Stones hits milestone 1000!!! Simply Awesome!
Cheers to you. Celebrate. You deserve it.
Be well, be quit, behave.
Incredible! Congratulations on the 10th floor. Well done!
Awesome!
Cbird, you are a total fucking badass quitter. Thanks for your continued contributions to many quits. Congrats on a great milestone!
No one exemplifies edd more than you cbird. A mountain on this site. Congrats to you on a well deserved comma!
Well done CBird! Thanks for all you do. Keep it rolling!
CONGRATS ON 1000.......DAMN THAT'S AWESOME LF!
Congrats on the comma Cbird! Thanks for being a brother.

Truly Badass!
Excellent comma hanging down bro, thanks for all the support you give to everyone on KTC ... you are a huge asset, here and to my quit!
Well done CBird, congrats on your comma!
Awesome brother! Thanks for all the support you've given here. I know my quit would have been quite a bit more difficult if you had not been in my corner and had my back. Cheers bro on this HUGE milestone!
Great stuff CBird! very proud to be quit with you today and everyday!

'BanDog'
Great work cbird!!
Not only is your quit awesome but look around you, I think we have 6 people from April 12 getting their comma's with 100% roll posting, it was 8 people not too long ago but a couple slacked off. You can take some credit for each of those 6.

We still have something like 16 very active posters that will get their comma this month. You have been our den mother making sure everyone is there for breakfast in the morning, well except for Hippy because he stays out late and doesn't get up in the morning anymore. You can take some credit for each of those comma quitters.

You are a rock start cbird, thanks for always being there and for everything you do! 'hit it'
Congratulations cbird, you deserve today.
COMMA...NOTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE SAID!
Our silly avatar bet way back in the day helped me though the fog, I will always remember that about you. Enjoy your comma man!
Oh man! Late to the party but congrats. You certainly get around. In a good way.
What a freakn seriously cool number. Congrats Brotha. Thank you for all your hard work and support. Hope you get to celebrate up big time.
Congrats on a awesome quit. Keep laying out the KTC kool-aid for all of us!
