I'm just a couple of days past 1,800. This shit is awesome, I'm not going to lie. You new guys reading this, who are not sure you can make it through today...listen...you can make it. It is not impossible. I'm proof. I was there so many times, probably like you. I'd 'quit' for a day, a week, maybe. Outside the 13 weeks I spent on Paris Island, I don't think I went more than 7 days without a dip for nearly 29 years.
Until I Quit.
I am Quit. There is no quessing about that. There is no doubt. I am Quit. I am so Quit that I always capitalize the word Quit out of respect. Being Quit is a state of mind. It is a thing. I see it as a formal noun. It deserves respect, and so I show it when I can.
Quit.
Wrap your head around that. Get it through your skulls. Think about this differently. We (KTC brothers) look at being Quit as a way of life. There is no room for nicotine to enter my life again. I reassure myself of that fact every morning when I post roll. Once that is done, I know I will move along that day Quit as fuck.
There is always talk about how long people should stay at KTC; do people still NEED KTC to remain Quit...I don't engage in those conversations becuase I think they're moot. In my 1,807 days Quit, I think maybe...maybe I've missed posting four days total. It's jus something I do now. Whether or not I have to or don't doesn't really matter.
Stick around here, new guys. This place works, but only if you work it.
Quitting is not a spectator sport. Participation is required!
