Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Burn your boats. How real is that? Do you believe? Can it be done?

My boats are burned. If I ever smoke/dip/chew you have my permission to cut my nuts off and use the skin to make a coin collector sack.

I knew I was close but now I'm there. I can say that with utmost honesty. I imagine many things can flip the switch to NAFAR. I felt it a few days back but I am convinced at this moment and it makes me oh so proud of my quit.

What steered me that way, why am I so so certain that ODAAT evolved into NAFAR? I owe it to my mom. A week ago I notified you she is in a bad place. It's amazing how quickly that turned into being in a good place. The odd part is that nothing changed. Her resolution never changed, what changed was ours, her kids.

Watching my mom move from actively living to actively dying has been awesome. Truly. She is at peace. She accepts it. No conflict, no pain, no transgressions. I can't imagine a better death.

For me, I can't imagine a better quit. I am strong, my wife supports me (very important) and integrity is the beacon. I quit today with all of you and I am confident I will quit all the tomorrows as well.

Wow. The news of your mother was the first post that actually brought a tear to my eyes. I'm so sorry to hear about that. I think of how I feel about my mother. I lost my father last February, but I am much closer to my mother. I won't say it wasn't difficult, but I wasn't quitting back then either; I don't know if I would had made it through, especially without the support from guys like you.

Hang in there. I did notice you weren't around as much these last few days, so you can take that to heart that you are making a difference in my quit, at least (any many more I'm sure).

I will be saying a little prayer for your mom, and your family, before nodding off tonight. Thank u.
You can stay quit today thru difficult life events! Know that. Post roll, immerse yourself in the site and do it!

There are a number of quitters that have dealt with the worst of the worst and they held the line. You can and will do the same! Quit like your life depends on it today - because it does!

I haven't posted much here the past 2 days. My mom is in the process of passing away. A hospice assessor confirmed today. She has late stage Parkinson's and developed pneumonia which is not a good combination. As with any sane person, I adore my mom. Always have. She made me into who I am today. I would not have the desire, self-confidence, but also humility without her. She is my favorite relative, her dad is a very close second.

Really no reason for posting other than I have notified the rest of my family. Felt I should say to you as well. I love my mom but it's time for her to move to the next stage. Still not easy to deal with. I have actually drank a lot less the past 2 days. I like me better that way. You know how it goes, spending 14 hours at the hospital/home/assisted living. Surprised I have handled it well which gives me hope that I am long term quit and the anxiety is getting better.

So, I post this in the spirit of NOLAQ who lost both of his parents and remained quit. Also Pr0f who lost his dad and remained quit. I will do the same. With no danger of tobacco because KTC has set my quit compass in the right direction. Thanks KTC.
Prayers to you and your family D4M. You are a great member of this community, and I'm sure your Mom is proud of you.
Amen brother, prayer to you and your family today.
Thoughts are with you and your family done4. I'm damn proud to call you my brother.
Hang tough brother. Proud to quit with you.
In the end we all will have only one word to comfort us. That word is ‘Amen’. Amen, D4’s mother, amen.
Thinking of you buddy
prayers sent your way, brother. Life is hard sometimes. Reach out if you need.
Stay strong. Prayers out!
Dun4, I say this with a tear in my eye for you and your mother, I'm here for you along with all of these other quitters. Just a text, call, or PM away. Stay strong.
Sorry to hear, Done4. You're a BAQ and her strength surrounds you. All of your brothers are here for you as well.
