Thanks AJ, Trauma  W2W, it means a lot! Truth is I really meant to celebrate day 1,000! But y'know it kinda just seemed like another day of win. From day 1-50, halfway to HoF felt like an eternity! Day 100-150, I still didn't feel like I'd learnt anything worthy of writing an HoF speech about (and still haven't written one).

Now, a comma into my first, but perhaps not only (who knows what the future can hold, plenty of even greater day counts have caved) quit, here I am at day 1,059. Over halfway to the next level AFTER comma. Without even really thinking about it.

Something I said before does hold true to me I think, quit is now something that I've become, more than something I do. Something i couldn't imagine 1,000 days ago. Wild how that can happen. So I'm going to thank all 3 of you again for all you've done to get me to this point  keep me quit.

As always, if it's just me quitting for myself, tomorrow is always soon enough. But if I were to go back to that idea now I'd have to face each one of you  say F'it all, decided I didn't want to do this anymore.  face the consequences of certain disapproval  potential lost friends. Can't do it, not today at least for I posted, but I've learnt nothing over the last 1,000+ days if I've not learnt that the benefits gained from quitting, like lifelong friends, are certainly better than dipping ever was. I just needed to mature to the point of being able to see  appreciate that, and once I did, the quit stuck.
I hope new quitters read this post. it is so worth it.

1,000 days. The comma.

Congratulations on being one 5 in your group that started with well over 100 still posting! Only the strongest and most honorable - those that embrace Brotherhood + Accountabilty, make it to this awesome day. You are one of the elite. Thanks for including me on this journey with you also - neither of us expected we would find lifelong friends by giving up nicotine. You are bad ass bro! Enjoy today - it gets even better from here!
Happy COMMA day Mike you are doing this you tobacco killing machine...enjoy your day you earned it.

Thanks bro! Appreciate the shoutout! Even if I'm to the point where these milestones seem almost anti climatic. I know I'm not cured  never will be, for I still think about tobacco more than I should for someone who's on the approach to comma. Thankfully though it no longer feels like a daily struggle  being quit does become the new norm.

TWO YEARS!

Dude, two years ago you started out on a journey that led you to some unexpected places. This journey hasn't been easy, but it has been very rewarding. Your life has improved on a whole lot of fronts in these 2 years, but it all started out with a decision you made to join KTC and quit something that was controlling your life.

It is an honor to quit with you today. Congratulations, and thank you for being a friend and a leader.
congrats Mike proud to quit with you
2 year's is badassery! You got this bitch by the throat, don't let go! Damn proud to be quit with you today my brother!
Congrats Mike, 2 years of rock solid Canadian quit!
Awesome! Way to go Mike!
Congrats on 2 years Mike! Proud to be quit with you EDD.

Way to go my fellow horsemen. On the way to 1000
Thanks BH, glad to be making the journey to comma with ya! Hard to believe actually. A few days back, W2W texted to remind me we were at 3/4 comma, day 750, now. Wild! I hadn't thought about it like that, but here you go.

Thanks to you too for being a great friend  leader as well. Two years. Well ok now 754 days. I can't believe it sailed by so fast, nor am I stuck on the boards 24/7 clinging to the hope that there's others out there like me. Truth is, I've just stuck back  enjoyed the last 24 days post 2 years without much of a thought. Which is a nice place to be. I do stand firmly behind my day 700 thought. This does get easier when quitting becomes more natural, and it will, and less of something you have to do  work at.
