HoF Speech


The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Quote from: GDubya145 days. More than some, less than others. But what's important is that it's a record for me. Yesterday for some reason it dawned on me that hey, it's been a hundred and forty four days since any nicotine has coursed my veins. Laugh but it's true. If I spent the night at someone else's house when I was a kid, I'd get nicotine withdrawals. When I was growing up, parents repainted the insides of their homes every few years to cover up the nicotine stains on the walls. So hey,it just hit me all of the sudden like I was at the crest of a pole vaulting pole or something. NEVER been in this place. I was looking behind me at how far I've come and how high I'd climbed. Hey. I'm not afraid of heights. But I am afraid of falling. And then the KTC peace showed up when I remembered that its eyes forward and ODAAT. BooYaah !!!
Way to get up there gdub... You are way up there, but I'm right behind you...

BooYeah! Congratulations Gdubya! You have figured out a great formula for success - build a network of both veterans and new quitters and keep in close contact with both groups. Then post your daily roll in multiple places. This almost provides a "fear factor" element to the accountability - where even the idea of letting those people on your team down is both so sickening and terrifying that it helps build anger against nicotine. Anger comes with time, but you've built the formula. Accountability + brotherhood = success.

Your story and journey is a great case study for new quitters to learn from. One day at a time!

Well done!
Thank you bro for your kind words. You have been there every step of the way showing me how to quit legit. Thank you.
Congrats! i'm glad you remain active on the boards here- helps my quit and others. Keep it going!
