Thanks Kenny, congrats to you on the 400.
Congrats on the 1/2 dangler bro, and thank you for being a large part of my quit.

Alcohol Quit Day 900:

As I move within 100 days of my first comma, I look back on how far I've come and the challenges I surpassed on the way up here. There were many times that a beer would have hit the spot but I denied myself that deadly luxury and continued along my uphill quit path. This power to deny did not all come from within me...it came from the brotherhood and accountability from other badass quitters on this website as well as others. I could not have made it this far without you. Thank you.
BazookaJoe, for people that has never had an alchohol problem or want admit they have a problem may not understand what 900 days alcohol free means. For the one's of us who do it's huge! You should be damn proud of your milestone! Enjoy my brother! Have a great day!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Congrats on 400 correct decisions Ryan! Proud to quit with you EDD bro, enjoy your extended weekend!
Nicely done. I'm inspired by those that go before me.
Congrats on reaching the fourth floor brother! Way to hit this hard and busting through all obstacles!
Congratulations on the 4th floor brother! Quit on!
Congrats on the 4th floor Bazooka, and your support to the newbies does not go unnoticed (neither do your avatars if we're being honest.
Congrats on 400!!!!
Kick butt man!!!
Thank you all for the pats on the back and ataboys. I owe my quit to the badasses that come here every day without fail to post up a +1 and support other quitters. If you cannot be here every damn day holes will begin to appear in the hull of your quit ship and, over time, those holes will add up to sink your proud ship to Davey Jones' Locker.

I saw a few quitters in my own group miss the entire Labor Day Weekend. While that's only three days or so, it's enough to start a habit of missing holidays, weekends, etc. and once that happens it's only a matter of time until missing ordinary days of the week become commonplace. Folks, you gotta realize that this quit is a lifelong process and we need the brotherhood and accountability on day 2000 just as much as we needed it on day 1.

Keep up the quit EDD.

Bazooka OUT!
Well said BazookaJ....I quit with you every day!
Agreed! ^^^^ keep the great quit going Bazooka!
You get it Bazooooka.

I just read the intro of yet another guy that returned after making it to HOF 4 years ago or something and then decided he didn't need KTC any more. And so, today he is posting a day 1. Where you are now feels pretty fucking good. You'll never have to relive that misery of the first days ever again. Thanks for all that you do.

Enjoy Texas!
Conveniently timed for hunting season!!! 'Remshot' Glad you are back where you want to be.
Yes impeccable timing for sure. I got my feeders filled and the mice/wasps in my stand killed. All I need is for opening weekend to draw nearer and for my trigger finger to start itching.

Thanks y'all it means a lot coming from new and vet quitters alike. Quit on fellas.

...and yes I made it back to Texas the Saturday before last. I drove from Jamestown, ND to Perry, OK in one day and logged 1000 miles over 14 hours. The next day was an easy 7 hour drive to La Grange. I'll be moving to Seabrook, TX next Saturday and will be there for about a year or so.
