I was part of the great class of Nov 2012. Still quit today. I remember my first post - it was the day my 21 month old son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The first month of my posts were from the hospital. He had his first surgery on August 3,2012. He's three now. Today we learned that his tumor is back. He needs another surgery. Prayers would be appreciated. Remember why you quit - for you. Remember who is relying on you to stay that way. Life is too short as it is. Stay strong brothers.
Wasn't in your group, but I wish the best for your son and your family. Hang in there and stay quit.
do not know what to even say to this.......Your son sounds like a fighter. He fought before and he will now.....Your family is in my prayers. stay quit brother.
My prayers are with you and your family. May god bless you all and heal your son.
Well my friend, you are still quit so you are still a part of that great class of Nov 2012.

Never forget your family here and thanks for getting back in here. All of our prayers from my family at home and from the Oct12 madmen to you and yours.
My prayers are with you and your family. PM if you need a number from a member of NOV 2012, come post with us as well. Pretty quite in the room now.

Thanks to everyone for their support and prayers for my son. For those that don't know, my 1 yr old was diagnosed with an egg sized brain tumor on Monday, about 10 hrs after posting my first roll call. His surgery was this past Thursday and it went very well. All initial indicators show that the tumor is benign but final pathology on Tuesday will tell us for certain. I truly appreciate the outreach I received from people that have known me for 10 seconds. What a great group of brothers at KTC. My boys recovery will be long and difficult but it looks like the scariest part is over. Today I am quit six days. I have all the motivation I will need to stay quit. Before this, I couldn't quit for my son even though I tried several times. Call me selfish but each day I quit will be for me - for a chance to spend more time with the people I love.
Wow, ROBDANJOE, that's good news and we'll keep praying for your son.

You've got it right. Quit for yourself. You don't want to blame anyone else, especially your loved ones for the struggles of quitting.

I'm proud of you, brother. If you can quit through this, you can quit through anything.
Very powerful post, Robdanjoe. Thank you, and prayers are sent your way. 6 days of freedom, claimed despite extreme hardship is admirable indeed.

Proud to be quit with you,

Dale
Fantastic. Rob, you can do this. Quit for yourself. You were meant to be here. Not only will you be there for your beautiful child. You sure going to change someone's life here. PM if you need any assistance. :)
Fantastic job facing the most stressful week imaginable while quitting nicotine. You sir are a bad ass quitter. I will quit with you today. PM me if you want any help.
NO SHIT!! This is motivation if anyone needs it!! Hopefully after reading this story we don't hear any "I just got a little drunk and then....." cave stories. I quit with you!!!
Very humbling to read this post. Prayers lifted for you and your family. Proud to be quit with you!
I admire your strength! My prayers continue for you, your family and your son! God bless you!
