Wow. Great intro, Richard. I wonder how often in life you have let yourself get that honest with yourself? And the thing is, we all get it. That is why it is so important for you to be here.

You can do this.
Just one and you will be back to where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are now.

Completely agree with what the others have said here. You keep this momentum up and keep stacking those days on top of one another, learning to master that master of emotions and keep that other dude in check, and you're going to build a seriously powerful quit, one that you can use to help others do the same. Proud to be quit with you!

Awesome intro Richard! Stay vigilant, that other guy and his gf the nic bitch will lurk and test you further. You know you are stronger than they are, especially with the brotherhood and accountability here. Stay strong.

Nicotine is a wicked beast for sure. We let it make us do bad things, and breaking free from its clutches is not easy. Nicotine doesn't define us though. It isn't necessary for happiness or success, though at the moment it might seem that way. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time, the truth will emerge. The picture that brought you here is what most of us used for motivation initially, but the freedom that you gain from not being a slave is the real reward

It is an honor to quit with you sir. If I can help or if you need another contact, shoot me a pm. Brighter days are ahead.

RichC that's quite a look at yourself ( and probably quite a few New quits for that matter)
But that insight into yourself is going to prove to be a stronghold on the journey to your strong, lasting quit.
Great to see.. Great intro.

Richard, hard to believe it was just 9 days ago, but I'm really proud to be quit with you. I look forward to getting to know you better through the chats or the forums! Quit on and may that other guy finally be put in his place! Time to shine!
