Chrismas Eve Day 99
So tomorrow is the first real mile marker day of my quit. I have my HOF speech in a draft. It might be a shock but it isnÂ’t a book. I guess Mthomastherapy covered most of my thoughts on the first hundred days. One thing that isn't in my speech is the thanks and appreciation you give when you win. Behind every goal, there is a cast that was with you all the way and you couldn't do it without them.
How do you mention everyone that had an impact on your quit? It becomes a worry of, “who am I forgetting or who am I missing” vs. focusing your heartfelt thanks to those you do mention. So I am using my final double digit day to express gratitude.
DippShit First person I met on KTC. I was dipping and went into chat. Said I was going to quit but failed so many times. He told me if I really wanted to quit, no need to wait. Flush it and post. He was the ignition to my desire to quit.
Chat FU Forbes, Timeless, Tarp etc. Chat saved my bacon many times. Laughing out loud at some of the conversations and stories. Watching new quitters come in and be excited to see a new quitter. Amazed that the conversations always ended up talking about Trannies, Fapping, My multiple wives (Not true) Politics, legalization of pot. Fights, rages and comedy. The entertainment kept my quit from getting dull and boring. It was a fun and therapeutic.
Coach Steve and the house of April Thank you for being the craziest bunch of quitters. When I felt sorry for myself, hurt or struggled. Laughter seemed to be the best cure for me. I would read Coach's plays and just drop my jaw in shock and then bust up laughing. I would re-read and yep that is what he wrote. I loved the drama, nic rages, comedy and sorrow. I didn't have my can, but you guys gave me a reality tv show.
Grizzly and May Grizzly was the constant encouragement of my quit. Always built me up. Rgross taught me the value of hating the tobacco industry and being very determined and like a stealth in my quit. Rgross built me up to a point where I didn't hope I knew...No big deal to quit, we got this. I was having a bad day and Jonathonrivers sent a message, “I like your style. I quit with you today.”
Beloved June Platoon The no nonsense of quit. Just a group that seemed to post roll and go to work on quit. Not much chatter for audience but many PMÂ’s of significance. Suck-it, what a great coach and mentor. Always blazed the trail and had me prepared and on guard for the next fog, funk etc. Stitch22 inspiring me to double down and swear off alcohol. SWJ his stories and writing abilityÂ…so fun to take a break and enjoy his thoughts and humor. Tbenny, Raiderx, ntartick, mcasalinova, Copenope, Weatherman, Carumba, PCpowder.

July WT, the only KTC brother to meet face to face. Text, talks and bad ass support. Loved your nic rages, philosophy and stories. Kept me sane. Dag was with you the day you spit it out! Now 86 days! A goof but serious about his quit. Laughed when he had been here a day and called Tarpon in chat “Tampon”. Ktharp, hockplaya, Yote, Buddy Mac, Wedgie, JohnK

To the founders and Vets of KTC Thank you for the education, the ass kicking, the motivation, the forum to be who am I and focus about quitting. I love the kool aid. You care so much for our lives and your time was valued by me. I hope I keep earning your respect so that you know that my life was worth saving. Wastpanel your avatar still frightens me!
Could have Beens Your example taught me what to watch for and not do. I made sure to post roll, not get drunk, and make an exception or excuse to dip.
Tobacco Industry and nicotine You had me by the balls. You were killing my soul. Thank you for being a good opponent at first. For making it suck. For seducing and calling me. You have become disgusting to me and I loathe you. Thank you for being who your are so that my decision and work to quit you is never second guessed. YOU SUCK you Little Bitch!
Here is one last curtain call to those that influenced me at tough crossroads. Sometimes I hated that I answered to you but deep down I always respected and wanted to keep your trust in me and my quit.
Thanks!
