Three years today! I would not have one day quit if not for my oldest friend, fraternity brother, and quit brother
@pumpkinboy who introduced me to KTC long before I drank the koolade. Without that first intro, I'd likely not have sought this place out when I was finally ready to quit for me. So thanx again brother for saving my life.
Thanx also to all of those who have supported me along this journey; newer quitters as well as the even crustier vets that came before me. I have seen so many people come and go that have helped me along the way, I hope they are all still quit.
Three years and one day ago, I had no idea I was about to quit, or what that meant in the big scheme of things. I suppose the idea was lurking in my head, it really always was; but it usually just looked like plans for a stoppage. Not a quit, not like this. Read enough here and you will hear "It gets better" over and over and at day 1 or 100 it's still kind of hard to believe. I can't tell you when it really started to feel good, but it sure does now. I chewed my entire adult life, so I think now after three years nicotine free, I may know what my new normal looks like. I like it and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Really just kind of rambling, this post was not thought out (or edited, in case you see typos) but I wanted to again say THANK YOU to all of the badass quitters who helped me along the way, especially the badasses that were there to kick my ass enough to piss me off enough to just quit. No easing back, no planning a date, just quitting. That's a debt I can never repay.
