Celebrated 3 weeks of freedom today by hitting 2 homers in our city league softball game tonight! KTC family freedom feels so great! Thanks to all my brothers and sisters for the support day in and day out. Special shout out to my Sultan family, y'all guys are awesome. Committing to quitting was the greatest thing I could have ever done and all you here at KTC remind me of that daily!

Made it through another day tobacco free. It feels better every day I feel like a different person but that's because I am. I wake up everyday and commit to quitting because I was tired of being a slave to Copenhagen. I couldn't do anything without it. I refuse to go back to being enslaved I'm taking my freedom back one day at a time an it feels great! Just want to thank everyone so far for the support and give a special shoutout to my Sultan brothers and sister who make it easy to keep my promise to them when I post roll
That's how we do it around here. Quit with lead pipe cruelty one day at a time.

We done, fine sir.

Thanks Ryan sure do appreciate it man and will do. I know I feel so much better without it its unreal to think that I used to believe I needed it so much. I'm loving being free and yes sir beating this ODAAT is the goal. Can't let my guard down thinking about future days. Gotta commit to quitting every day.

For me on Sundays I like to show thanks. Today I want to say thanks to all of you guys for being here and supporting me in my quit. Without you guys I'd still be held captive by the NicBitch. While sometimes you guys may show tough love it's because you know the importance of quitting. At 21 I was almost a decade long tobacco user and at 21 I've been free for 19 days now and it's all thanks to you guys. Quitting with you guys today
19 days is great man. Proud of you. Wish I could have quit at your age. Keep killing it man. You never needed that poison. You are a better man without it. In every way your life will improve. Stay strong. Now is the time. Focus on one day at a time.

You need anything, give me a shout.

Ryan

Thanks Ryan. Sure do appreciate it man. I'm planning on it for sure. It's hard to truly explain what KTC and the support from other quitters has done for me. It feels so good to be off the tobacco and to be able to come share with you guys as well as hear about your success in quitting and learn from you guys that came before me.

While today is Independence Day for our country it is also day 16 of independence for me. Freedom to live without being controlled by tobacco. Enjoy today fellow quitters but each day of quit celebrate your own independence you received in quitting.
Well done royal. Had a feeling you were not a fly by. Glad you are sticking it our man. 16 days is awesome. Stick around man it gets mech better.

Keep working it- sounds like you have a good thing going. I want to stress the importance of building some connections off-site too= as in, get some cell #s, maybe get into a text group, etc. That can really help. As does taking the chance to meet other quitters in person, if that ever comes your way.

I'm going to PM you my number to get you another- i'm sure others have sent theirs too. Reach out as much as you can, it really helps. The quitters that I lean on most are those i have regular contact with via text and/or have met in person. For some reason that just really helps- probably partially because the addiction works with the brain chemistry that, among other things, affects how you are motivated to make friends. Make plenty of quitter friends to help you stay clean!

Glad to be quitting with you Kalan!

Keep it going! are you building out a network for accountability and support? Are you learning all you can about the addiction you are beating back daily? It's great that you are chronicling your quit here in your Intro- it will remind you of all you don't want to go through again, and it lets others know how you are doing as you go on.
