Chip, 17th floor! Awesome work. You have been one of the BAQs leading the way for me for the last 1,186 days, and I just wanted to say thanks, and keep it up :) Newbies give this thread a read to see how it's done...
Congrats Tweets on the 17th floor!
now down and give me 22!!
Congratulations my man! Badass! Keep on feeding us the knowledge!
baddest among the baddest here! keep it up, you own it then rock it! 'oh yeah'
Congrats on 17th floor... you phone call on my day 1 got me going on quit, I'm not alone on that. Thanks!
Feeling the love and so glad to be have to added to the quit.... Guess what it boils down to is taking ownership. Not relying on the emotion of the moment/day to dictate or give me an excuse to finger bang the can. You cannot separate Brotherhood, Accountability and Success....all three must be part or there is none. Pretty sure its an old Chinese proverb Chewie wrote.

Quit on 'oh yeah'

Coming up on 4 yrs of quit and taking stock of that time.


Last year I learned one of our brothers has been quietly battling ALS. I am not sure of the exact date he was diagnosed but know the discovery would have destroyed most quits. His steadfastness and commitment to his quit is one of the truest acts of heroism I have ever seen. I am thankful and honored to call him a brother. He is a husband, father, United States Marine and a member of The Glass House of April ‘12. All I can say is thank you Tst for continuing to raise the bar every day.

The closeness and energy that generates here is life changing. We failed so many solo attempts, but once the blinders of nicotine are removed and we face the addiction we willingly submitted to, then and only then will the battle of one day at a time become achievable. Break out of your shell and embrace everything this site has to offer.
Stay active on the site and continue to foster these 'quit relationships'.

and for this today I AM THANKFUL.
Congrats on your 4 years quit Tweets!!
And happy New year dip free!
My first one for a while.
Thanks for your support.
Congrats on 4 years! Thank you for the example and support.

Huge Congrats on the third thirteenth floor, you have been a damn fine quitter to follow and I appreciate every day that you post roll, with everyone on here. True inspiration is not found often today but you sir are one such example. See you tomorrow brother!
Congrats bird, always proud to quit with you! (Fixed P's post).
Congrats Chip on reaching the 13th floor! You are one of those cornerstones of my quit. Cornerstones are solid and not easily moved. I'm sure I'm not the first to think that about you as you have supplied the cornerstones for so many at KTC. Have a great day brother! Quit on!
Bird, congratulations on the 13th Floor! I am proud to quit with you today.
Thank you for all your support. Tweet.
Big congrats to the Sherpa of quit who took me under wing and REALLY helped a lot! Keep it up!
'oh yeah'

Proud of you man

Damn proud to be quit with you.
