INVICTUS (William Earnest Henley)

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

You, ceslick1, you are the captain of your soul. You post with August. See you in the hall....

Here (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/30577754/181/) is a link to your August quit group. That's where you will make your daily promise to not use nicotine in any form. That's also where you will meet your quit brothers and sisters who have quit at around the same time you have, and are going through the same things you are.

Posting roll, and the camaraderie you form with those in your quit group are the backbone of this site. There have been many times that I wanted to cave, and I remembered my daily promise. The last thing I wanted to do is let down my quit group. It sounds strange - making a promise to a group of internet strangers. But it works.

Proud to quit with you.

Posting roll does keep you accountable, but you have to post roll first! The system works,
