Quit on Monday

[eric71]

Day 730:

2 fucking years! Thinking back from then till now and all the good and the not so good I've traversed and to have done it all without nicotine is perhaps the icing on the cake. Since that day 2 years ago, I invested back into myself, my family, my relationships and my career; in that order. I had to own my quit before I could give back to those that empower me to become more than myself. I can reflect on this day in happiness thanks to my wife who stumbled upon this place 2 years ago and to all of you who have served as mentors, friends, partners in crime, and pains in my ass since. May today be your best quit day yet!

That's what it is all about! Gratz on the 2 years Eric!

Right back at you brother, You got the mustard but will never ketchup! Congrats!

Damn Eric! Two years, congratulations! I remember my first few days and months on this site. I'd miss roll or post roll late and you were there like a Drill Instructor, instructing me where, when and how to post roll. I was having flash backs and sometimes scared to death to get on here and post roll yet scared to disappoint also. I finally failed and dropped away for a while. I came back and knew you would be there, larger than life to set me back on the right path.

Thank you for setting the example in the two years of quit for so many quitters and not leaving them behind as you say in your tag line. Proud to be quit with you today, Eric!

2 years = STRONG

Amazing! Glad you're still here and posting. June Platoon is down to 3 posting daily now. Congrats and stay ghey! 'winker'

another example of one who stands by his word and by those who are with him.

a belated congrats my brother.

+1 man

Quit is not just the decision.
It is not the individual days.
Quit is the decision, getting through that day, and piling those "+1"s up.

You, sir, are winning.

Day 627:

Morning of my oldest daughter's surgery.  We found out yesterday her fall at gymnastics was not as lucky as we'd hoped.  She has 2 dislocated elbows, fragmented bone and torn ligaments in both arms.  Surgery scheduled this AM around 730 EST.  This might well be the capper on a helluva six month stretch for this family.  I struggle back and forth in emotions toward God, the world, and everything in between.  I get so angry but know I need to lean so much.  I question and pray.  As a parent, these moments are the moments we hate.  Do what you will with me, just leave my family alone.  Such frustration, but such hope in His divine grace.  Thinking of you all in your struggles with nicotine and praying for your strength in your own battles today.  There will most certainly be a couple fights I win today:  I will win the fight for my soul through my faith and I will be quit!

QLAFM

brother all the prayers for a speedy health. I think in a lot of ways when it comes to our kids that we do wish it was us instead of them, but I am learning that it is their youth that can sometimes take us by complete amazement.

Stay strong my friend all ends well so with that in mind if its not well its not ended!

Day 628:

Surgery was successful. Doctor said it looked like bombs exploded in her elbows. Kid is tough as nails; never cried from the moment it happened until now. Now to get the nausea from the pain meds under control and get her home.

I got the chance to step back and reflect for a minute on all the support and kind words we've received and my wife and I will never be able to thank those people enough. The beauty in a struggle are the small life victories God gives us.

The journey IS the reward quitters! Reap your reward today! So proud to be part of this community!

QLAFM!

Glad to hear, E!!!.

Damn man, what kind of move was you girl trying to pull off, a quadruple flip with 8 twists in the tuck position?

Sounds like she's tough as nails. Must get it from her Mom, LOL.

Happy that she's doing good. Way to be strong bro!!!

Quit with you all damn day!!!!

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

Be beautiful bro...
