Quote from: MN_Ben1420 days and life for me is so different from my pre quit life that some would barely recognize me.

1421 days ago I was an obese sedentary software architect who felt defeated. I was at the end of my rope being a slave to tobacco, I was ashamed of what I had let myself become.

Quitting taught me I have strength, and self control. I have applied that to other areas of my life and now I sit here on the verge of competing in an Ironman with my quit brother from Jan 2014 and I have my story told in runners world magazine :)

[spoiler=Birth of Responsibility]"That we are no longer this poor little stranger and afraid in a world it never made. But that you are this universe and you are creating it in every moment. Because you see it starts now, it didn't begin in the past, there was no past. See, if the universe began in the past when that happened it was now; see, but it's still now â€" and the universe is still beginning now, and it's trailing off like the wake of a ship from now, and that wake fades out so does the past. You can look back there to explain things, but the explanation disappears. You'll never find it there. Things are not explained by the past, they are explained by what Happens Now. That Creates the past, and it begins here. That's the birth of responsibility." ~Alan Watts[/spoiler]
