Given that I haven't been of much help to anyone, and with the current state of affairs within my personal life, I am closing this chapter within my life. KTC will always hold a special place in my heart and what got me to "kill the can", I am eternally grateful. I will drop by time to time to say hi, but God willing, never to post a day 1 ever again. I will still keep in contact with all of you and if any of you want my number, shoot me a pm, I'll still get alerts via email. Thanks everyone, and keep kickin ass my brothers and sisters!
Bro - the 'just one' moments (yeah, they're plural) are out there. You know it. I do hope you reconsider - too many retreads have told the story of woe.  Hate to see you go.
Ohhhh Athan, my brotha from anotha motha! Don't I know about those "just one" moments. I have reconsidered thanks to the guidance from all of you. Even though my wife wishes I wouldn't be on this site, I know without it, I'm leaving too much up to chance. 30 seconds to post roll is better than nothing  for now and she will just have to accept that. Thanks again for everything my squidy friend

@Bug Guy

Wish you the best and understand needing to focus on personal issues. Just know that your posts on KTC along with the Ajay crew has been instrumental in my quit which is now at 91 days. I was able to do something i wasn’t sure I could ever do thanks to the KTC crew.

You have been helpful to me and its my turn to say THANK YOU. I am way behind you at 160 but having your insight and comments along with all the vets have helped me more than any doctor. Thank you again for all you have done brother. May God bless you in your future endeavors. You have done more than you think!!!!
Thanks Frank. It means a lot to me that I have helped you in some way. It's what it's all about. But I guess I'm like a bad hemorrhoid, it's hard to get rid of me. Proud to be quit with you my friend

Best wishes and thank you for all you have done for the August Ajays. We might not have ever talked a lot with eachother personally but your posts and guidance of our group, especially in the first days definitely is a major reason why I am quit today. I’m sure all the other Ajays feel the same way. Take some time for yourself and thank you for all you have done for myself and our group
Thank you my brother, still here quittin with you!

I won't lie, I read this and thought, oh no, this is a big loss for the KTC community.  Your spirit and dedication and presence here has not gone unnoticed or appreciated.  But priorities are priorities and family certainly comes first.  I hope you don't shut that door all the way.
Flipp, I love you dearly. It makes it so much easier to navigate when there are people like yourself to copy from. But as you know, we don't do it for the acknowledgement, we do it because it's within us. Servant attitude: helping others in turn as an unintended benefit, helps yourself. But you're right, I've absolutely got to get my own house in order before I can be of help to others again. I'm just gonna keep driving on and take it ODAAT. Thanks for your guidance Miss Flipp, PTBQWY!

ditto to what others are saying.

the first sentence bothers me though because you absolutely have to know it’s completely untrue. Don’t lie to yourself brother. Don’t let anyone deceive you. You have touched countless lives here with your extreme dedication and tireless efforts to be a true true quit brother. I have benefited greatly from your guidance and support. Thank you

I wish you all the best in addressing the most critical needs at home. If you approach it with the same care and dedication I have come to know from you, positive healthy outcomes, at least in part, must be forthcoming. God Bless Steve. @Bug Guy

PS - sorry to have added to your worries through my own actions which in hindsight I can now see as inconsiderate and selfish on my part.
I guess in the moment I didn't realize I had omitted the word "lately" from the first sentence. That was an error on my part. I know I have helped some folks, just as much as they have helped me. But lately, distractions have been pulling me away and I have felt like shit for neglecting this site. I don't like asking for help, which totally goes against what this site is about, but that's just how I am. But with all of you showing up and offering support all on your own accords speaks volumes of just how great this place is because of the people within it. I've gotten phone calls, texts messages, or messages on here with an outpouring of support. I love all of you guys n gals. It would be suicide to walk away from a place like this. Thank you all for everthing. I'm going to take this ODAAT and keep trucking along.

Muley, nothin but love for ya. Thank you for the apology and I completely understand your frustration. My apologies as well my friend.

Totally understand needing to dedicate your time to your family but I don't want you to think that you are in any way not helping people. I'm not very active, I never have been able to spend much time online but reading through your posts and other vets is what got me through the first few weeks of my quit which was the hardest part for me. I'm still looking you up when I get down to the ice cream shop!
Hell yeah! And I'll be happy to visit with ya. Can't come to Lancaster without climbing our mountain, so we'll have to make arrangements to do so. Thanks for strengthening my quit brother
