Dear badass quitter and empathizing supporters,
Thank you for the PMs, roll call nods, texts, intros posts, and for telling me like it is. There are so many solid people on here. You all rock.
My quit is as strong as ever and I don't see it happening without you all.
I humbly quit with you today.

Newbies: Stress is not an excuse to cave. Any stress you are feeling can be trumped by dozens of KTC quitters. Alcohol isn't a reason to cave. Thousands of KTC quitters know to either abstain or control it whilst protecting their quit. No special situation is a reason to cave.
There's only one explanation for caving: choosing to cave.
So, next time you think about rationalizing that tobacco fix, think about the guys who are struggling to get by, the guys that just read a Dear John letter, the guys that are in a custody battle, the guys that are bracing for or just attended a funeral, and on and on.
Screaming kids? Mortgage payment? Fighting with the wife? Family member is sick? Drunk with your buddies?
Welcome to LIFE. There are no special butterflies (Scowick).
