Wow. Sure doesn't seem like it's been that long. Seems like just yesterday I posted that Day 1. Thank you to all the admins / mods that work so hard behind the lines to make all this possible. Without them and all the quality folks we Quit with here, none of our successes would have been possible. Here at least. All you folks are pure quality peeps. Thank you.
hold on here! i gotta jump on- thanks for all you've done- and was just catching up in the intros to see that you're still digging in there helping others make their way. Solid, solid quit, keep it going!

New quitters, here's a solid oe to read up on - and follow as an example. Now, time to celebrate!

Hi. I'm GW from North Central Texas. 48 years old. Started dipping in Elementary School. My first job as a kid was as a self-employed coke bottle recycler. Would gather and exchange bottles for Happy Days snuff at the corner convenience store. So. It's been a long time. Stopped dipping once about 20 years ago for a couple weeks.

I am a career fire fighter. And as such, I see lots of dead folks. Even dead folks that just aren't dead yet. But soon will be. Congestive heart failure. Coronary heart decease. Cancer. High blood pressure. My parents died from smoking. Cancer - Dad. Heart disease - Mom.

My wife is a teacher and we will retire about the same time. We have been making retirement plans. But. I'm still healthy but my otherwise great blood pressure has slowly been going up. So I know that heart disease wants to come live with me until I die. But. That can be changed and reversed now. With no meds. So. I want to live a healthy remainder of my life. And do all that my wife and I have planned.

Now is the time for my quit.

GW
1,000 days of winning! Of taking your life back! Of taking your health back. And of being a model citizen around here... The very definition of brotherhood  accountability.

GW, I hope you feel 10' tall today. You earned this.
That comma looks damn good.
Hell. Yes!!

This one makes my day in a big freaking way!! Congrats to you, brother! Helluva nice job!
Congrats G-dubs! 1,000 days of badassery couldn't be earned more. Appreciate all that you have done along the way.
Well done on 1,000. Congrats.
Badass GW! Well done sir! Thanks for sharing your quit knowledge! Welcome to the 10th floor, well deserved, enjoy your view!
To my true quit friend. Congrats bud!
Congrats on the comma G.
grats on the dangle ....I'm still waiting on that signature
Hey G...congrats friend. Thanks for setting the example and ALWAYS being there. Mad love for a solid part of my quit arsenal. Lady G
This right here. This is the magic of KTC. Its what kept me going everyday. Giving support and receiving it. Making friends and being a friend. Walking with those that came before us, and those that came after. When I was weak I thought of all of you. I cant express enough what each of you and so many others mean to me. Man, I was a slave a loooong time. I remember when I just gave up and accepted that Id be an addict till I died. Each of you have enabled me to find freedom. My hope is that I give back what I have received. I am a blessed Quitter. Its still ODAAT and Ill be back tomorrow for more fun with my friends. Cant wait for that cold beer and big fat steak tonight !!!! BooYaah !!!!
Nice comma GDub you fot hard to get here now go enjoy your day
Way to be Gdub. Thank you for all you do here. Model quitter. Thank you for blazing the trail!
