Day 112

So I am back from vacation.  While the country went through a heat wave, I was lucky to be in Oceanside California.  Beach was great, Ocean was fun and it seemed like the temperatures were in the 70's.  I was just glad to take a break.  I am quit.  I never had any triggers or cravings.  Made a lot of stops into gas stations. (We drove) I would look behind the counter and notice the nicotine packaged nicely and always on sale.  Yet it wasn't difficult to pass up.  It wasn't seductive and I wasn't interested.  Still noticed it.  I didn't want to go back.  I loved pulling out change and seeing my KTC coin.  I cherish what it means to me.

Seemed like there were a few cavers on KTC.  Some have been here for a very, very long time.  Thanks for reminding me that I am an addict.  I know that even though my quit is easy, I need to always protect it. 

Some newbies caved.  Thanks, I know this isn't easy work and my undefeated record is a statement of what it takes to succeed. 

To both the old and..young pull your head out of your asses and fight today.  Once you quit, you are at war!  As long as nicotine is around, you are in a battle.  There never is going back to ignorance.  Once you learn truth, you live in it or you defy it.   

Grow up and stay quit.  Defy your quit and you are worse off than the ones that never quit or nver started. 

You chose to quit so

    

Do it and Be it!

Nice to hear your story - trying to follow in your footsteps.......

Sorry - not Trying - I am.....

If you look close tinman there are a whole bunch of tracks around MT many of us are following him, others are walking side by side with him and there are thousands that have left their tracks before, for him to follow. Sometimes we follow, sometimes we lead but most of the time we walk side by side! This is a lesson to be learned none of us are alone in this battle. I'm 93 -0 what a example MT is!

Nice quit you have there!

[Mthomas3824]

If I recall your foggy days, your first intro post was erroneously done in my intro. I now consider that a great honor and it is a cherished part of my thread. Way to go dude. congrats on the C-note worth of quit.

Wow. I just went Back through your intro. First I am glad I did. You are brilliant. Good read to help me be strong.

Second, I'm a dickhead! Fortunately I think you gave me some latitude for being the new ghey kid. Thanks for not busting my balls early. If that has become something you now like in your intro, I will try to keep improving so that it never is something you want removed.

Thanks for the props. The HOF is a great trophy to put in the case but I don't want one prize collecting dust. I want to fill that case with more trophys. Next title, 200!

Awesome MT !

Great stories and analogies. Some have really hit home. I swear you have been reading my mind with a few of them. You have been a pillar of strength for many on the site.

Keep it up.

[Ready]

Congrats.

Well brother - you did it. First big milestone and you should be very proud. A huge thank you to you. If it wasn't for your friendship, help and support I would have been in trouble several times in my quit. You have always been there when called on and even timely calls out of the blue that were well needed. Your posts are inspiring and motivation for all. Keep up the good work. No need to tell you that the fight goes on and there is the post HOF funk headed your way in about 15 days - I know, I am such a downer. But, be prepared and continue to fight. Again, words I don't need to tell you.

Perfect timing to hit the Hall and hit another vacation. I hope this is your wife treating you to a big quit celebration. Enjoy brother you have truly earned it.

Have fun on vacation and holler at me if you need a thing.

Congrats

Congrats bro, keep up the good work. Remeber 100 days is just the beginning of your journey. KTC has given you the tools, go forward and kick ass brother.

Congrats on the big 100

[FreeFromCope]

Congrats on 100 MT. I appreciate you reaching out and being there at the beginning of my quit. I know I am not the only one who appreciates that and I know there will be many more. I look forward to staying quit with you.

Grats MT,

I only joined a few days ago, but after my intro post it took a matter of minutes before you offered your help to me in any way, shape or form. You didn't have to but you did. I know I haven't called upon you in a time of need yet, but if I hit that spot I know you will be there to help.

You're a lifeline. You're a badass.

Congrats on your 100.
