Glad to be here

Congrats, buddy!  I am so happy for you. 

It feels so good to know that after 1400 days quit we now have reduced our stroke risk to that of a non-tobacco user.  And let's not forget that after that first year of quit we had already reduced our risk of coronary heart disease by half and our risk of heart attack had already dropped dramatically. It won't be too much longer and our risk of mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder cancer will also be reduced by half (if it isn't already).  How about how good your mouth, teeth and gums feel today? 

Damn!  This whole quitting thing might have been the smartest thing we ever did!

Belated congrats sir. I've looked for you on the Discord server, hope to see you there soon.

How is the view brother? Congrats on hitting the 14th @Athan

By golly - the view is spectacular! 18 guests on the fence pondering, wondering, waiting. The ONLY difference between you and me is that I made the decision. You can too. Put that can down and reclaim your life. Going through withdrawals is a drag but not as big a drag as having all of your teeth pulled or esophageal cancer. The thing is, you only gotta go through the suck once. Then freedom is just lying in wait on the other side. We here, waiting to give you support along the way. You've nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Like big Chris says, "addiction is giving up everything for one thing. Recovery is giving up one thing for everything".

Congratulations on the big 14th @Athan . Well done brother!

You ROCKKKKKkkk!!!!!

Aw shucks FLLip, the only reason I made it this far is because vets like you and Chick paved the way, stuck around, and provided a context of quit. Hat's off to ya both!!

Just replaced the wax ring on the downstairs commode. Sans nicotine of course. I figure I saved myself $75 for the plumber and $5 for the can of worm dirt for a grand total of $80. The way things are going lately I figure I'm gonna need to save every penny.

On a sad note, a co-worker is back smoking again. He was clean 6 months. Just reiterated to me that anyone can stop for a while. It's staying clean for the long haul that counts. Still here. Still clean. Still free. One Day At A Time.

I’ll be right here with you brother.

Pfizer issues recall of certain Chantix doses due to cancer risk. I've never heard of a recall of atomic fireballs or gum or cinnamon stix or fake chew. If you're on the ropes with anxiety during withdrawal, talk to your health care provider about your options.
You could always call or text a brother in quit and talk through it. It's free, it's effective, and it has worked every time I ever did it.

Having a great quit brother saved my sorry butt twice. I am not one to gloat but I have two other guys that I can say they called on me to help when they hit rock bottom. They are still quit also. Having a crew that you can text daily sets you up for SUCCESS not FAILURE!!! Wish more would do that very thing Athan. Thanks for being a huge part of many peoples quit.

#1.  Between the pressures of life and everything in between, I picked up that dip and thought I could just have one.  I was dead wrong.

From a dude returning after a 5 year hiatus. This is why I'm still here. I've had too many 'just one' thoughts even posting every day. If I pick up and 'move on' I'll be packing it in with in two months time. Guaranteed. Not now. Not today. Not for any reason.
There are too many to thank - but to all of you, those who came before me, those quitting with me, and those who quit after me - Thank-you for providing me a context within which to maintain my freedom.

I just got a QUIT stiffy...Thank you my friend!
