Here is Springfield we are picking up bad ass quitter, friend, husband and father of three Grizzlyhasclaws. To celebrate reaching the Hall of Fame Grizzclaws is going to take his wife and kids out for a steak dinner tonight. When he gets back from the steak dinner he is going to share some pickled beets and miller high life with the rest of us on the train. As a conductor I will only partake in the beets, I can't afford to derail this iron beast before we pick up the rest of feb.

When he's on the train you should watch out for Grizzlyhasclaws to be cussing, drinking, yelling, streaking and peeing off the caboose as we hurdle down the tracks.. Well, wait. That wont really distinguish him from the rest of us.. In case you need further clarification, Grizzlyhasclaws is the printer salesman who drives a matrix and loves baseball cards. Who can blame him? He loves the Kansas Jayhawks and the Washington nationals, and you may catch him watching breaking bad in the lounge car of the train. His favorite avatar on KTC is OneImpressiveBall's. The craziest thing that Grizzlyhasclaws has ever done was left his wife wife at curb of hospital maternity entrance when she was possibly in preterm labor so he could go to a van halen concert. She told me to go ahead, baby was not born that night. Thank goodness! And he will indeed be taking the journey with us to 100 days.

The quitter he is most afraid of is only identified as "a jackwagin".. He finds Syndrome to be the most inspiring as Syndrome "doesn't fuck around, he just quits". And he credits Zeno for helping him early in his quit by texting, and many others here at KTC have helped in various ways..

His advice to other quitters and potential quitters is to post roll early and often.. So welcome aboard Grizzlyhasclaws!! You've earned it buddy!!!!
Dude....... You are so fucking awesome. Way to hit the hall man. Congrats

Yeah, there's a lot of drama going on lately in these boards. Meanwhile there's a lot of quitting going on too. ABC's. Accountability, Brotherhood, and Committment. This guy here, commonly known as Grizclaws, is one damned good example of that, and a man I had the honor to meet in person tonight along with Canvasback from the April 2014 class. Griz himself arranged the meetup when I told him I'd be coming to DC for work, and it was as rewarding as I thought it would be.

Grizclaws has been a stalwart for me on the boards throughout my quit, since he started only a few days after me. So good to meet the man behind the avatar and strong words tonight.

He's aboout to hit his HOF day two days from now, and that designation is well-deserved. Lately he's been helping others more and more, and like me he realizes that this is really only a milepost in the quit of a lifetime.

The three of us talked (and laughed) about drama on the boards, about helping others, about stupid things addiction made us do and about our plans to stay quit in the future. We sealed some promises to each other, to help each other remain quit. We talked about brotherhood, and how initially it didn't mean so much but it is making more and more sense how important it is as we stay involved here.

It was a real honor to meet up with Grizclaws tonight, and my quit is stronger for it. If you ever have a chance to meet up with another quitter in person, do it! If you ever have a chance to meet up with Grizclaws, do it as long as he doesn't want to take you fishing for the meetup!
Amen to this entire post.

Brett and Grizz both strengthened my quit, gave me some more tools to work quit, and now I've got two more friends.

Someone's going to explain this fishing thing soon...
