One Year –

So here I am feeling pretty humbled and emotional right now. Not only has the past two weeks been a milestone of 300 days rid of alcohol and now a year quit on Nic but I had the pleasure of meeting some bad ass people over the last several days. I have written a couple HOF speeches and have always considered them long winded and not worth posting. So I figured I would dig up this old introduction and bring it back to life.  I am trying to keep it simple as my mind is racing with a million things I would like to say, so I’m going do a simple list of things I believe make me a successful quitter.

1.   Post Role, as addicts we need to be held accountable. All the time not just until we reach the HOF, and not just during the week. (People will yell at you for not posting trust me)
2.   Moderation when drinking especially in the early days. (I have heard so many stories of I was out drinking). My personal choice was to give up alcohol forever, had it not been for giving up one addiction I might have never dealt with another.
3.   Stay active in chat or on the boards, others need you as much as you need them. Helping someone through rough times in their early days is a sure way to keep those first few days of your own quit a not so distant memory and also provide them reassurance that everything is going to be ok.
4.   Make friends, get numbers and use them, we are addicts we are going to need support forever. (There is no cure)

And to end I would like to thank you all for saving my life, all my quit family that quits with me everyday, the folks that started this site, and the people taking the first step to quitting and signing up for day one. Everyday quit is reassurance I will have more time on earth for my family and my incredible friends I make everyday on KTC.
Badass Marcus!
I'll never forget holding onto that lifeline that is chat when I first quit. You seemed to always be there but, most important, always encouraging. Congrats to you bro!
Here's to wind in our hair and bugs in our teeth (much better for you than snuff granules)!!! Congrats on all you have accomplished and thanks for being there to pay it forward. Quit with you today!

Good Job Marcus. I'm on day 40 and the first two were the worst. I've had some bad days since then, so keep your guard up. I had a bad week when I hit my 30's, which was the worst since the first two weeks. That could just be me though,,, a lot of things going on. Great job on your quit,,, two weeks,,,,,,,,,,, we're taking this all the way to the house. Glad to be quit with you.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

I just posted this in Scottm1682's intro...

Never would have thought how great you'd feel without dip, right?! Never thought it was possible to feel so free, right?

Now keep this last week of Hell (in your case, two weeks) in your mind every day you wake up, because you don't want to have to repeat it again. Never Again For Any Reason!

The first week (two weeks for you) is a bitch, but damn it feels good to make it that far! It's all good things from here. Keep your guard up though, the nic bitch wants you back! Keep some food or gum to chew on close by, stay true to yourself and to us! I quit with you!

Read my signature.. soak it up!

Sorry guys worst moment ever.. went to bed feel better so far today. Two week weakness?
It is, and I'm very sorry you had a bad night.

If you feel this coming on again, try posting to your group, or to THIS (Warning: Many people here have subscribed to that thread. If you post something there, it puts an email into mine and hundreds of others' inbox.)

Also, check your pm's. You've got a number.

Quitting is fun sometimes.

It starts out really shitty for the first few days, and then things get waaaaay better quickly. It gets to the point sometimes that you feel invincible.

But, then reality sets in.

Quitting is like a pendulum and it swings back quickly. The good thing is that for every bad moment, there is a good. Remember that. Eventually, that weight will settle in the center. Not today, but soon.

When times are good, we practice for the bad.
When times are bad, we lean on what we learned.

Use the tools here man. Use the tools.
Nothing to be sorry for - you've got a plus one next to your name don't you! Hope you don't feel like I was on you for no reason, I just want to see you hit the HOF and beyond and I know being active here will get you there... Proud to quit with you today!

I know what you mean. I'm on day 37 and I had a bad week. It comes in spurts. I felt real good the last couple but before that I was fit to be tied. What I do when nobody is around is read information on the site and browse hof speaches. Those are real good to read. Usually someone shows up before long and before you know it your talking to someone. Besides that I don't think anyone minds if you come on and curse everyone out. We are just glad to see you today and glad you are still quit.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Fuck you I needed help...no one cared... I will quit every day... for me... fuck u!
Did you jump into live chat? do you have any numbers? I'm happy as hell to give mine out and so are a ton of other guys here! send out some pm's, throw one my way. That's a bitch that you had a tough time but it's great that you are quitting for you each day! That's the name of the game around here, I'd love to quit for me and for you and for my brothers and sisters here at ktc but the only one I can quit for is me. If I can help you out I'm happy to, as are a ton of other quitters here. To say no one cared is just wrong - is it a cop out because you want to bail ktc - you ready to get away from the accountability? If so I can't keep you here but that's on you not on anyone here for failing to read your intro at the moment you wanted them to...
