Well Here We Go

[per034]

I got to thinking today about quitting and came up with this:
Quitting is not a destination to which we can arrive, but a journey that doesnÂ’t stop until we are either dead or we cave. So, while 100, 200 days, etc is nice, I strive to be quit today because IÂ’m happier that wayÂ…truly. I want to thank each and every one of you for taking this journey with me because I cannot do it alone and I am starting to think that I wouldnÂ’t even want to try. Thank you, KTC for your help and I hope my quit, which has been difficult yet rewarding thus far, can help others as your quit has inspired me.
KTC is our roadmap and we would be remiss to embark on this dangerous journey without a map. So I say again… Quitting is not a destination to which we can arrive, but a journey that doesn’t stop until we are either dead or we cave. What will you choose today? In the throes of addiction, we lack a choice because we are controlled by an evil substance. We now have a choice to maintain our freedom and enjoy life without being chained down. I’m just very grateful for that today and wanted to share that with as many people as possible.  I’m not saying that you can’t get to where you need to go without a map, but it’s much harder to do with a greater chance of getting lost. When the stakes are this high, why try when it’s not that hard to just take the map along? I’ve got mine, what about you?

Jmiah! My quit brother from another mother! Great post, I am glad we see this fight the same way because I have relied on your support for the last 182 days, and I have been damn proud to be able to support you as we have fought side by side. As I said last week myself, I can't do this alone either, so I am not gonna bother trying. Great quitters like you and the whole community here at KTC have got me through the tough times. I tend to ramble, but to anyone reading this that has a single little doubt about how this place works and the importance of posting roll and being involved? Toss that doubt away, take a big swig of the koolaid and listen to what Jmiah has to say, trust me he knows what he is talking about.

AWESOME!!! You just made me quit for today. Thank you!

I got my map. I went so long without one. I was lost. Thanks Jmiah. This is some good quit shit.

Well done sir! You "get it".

Your post reminded me quite a bit of this blog post that I wrote a while back...

It's definitely a "journey" that we're on. Happy to be quit with you today.

Hello everyone! My name is Jeremy and I'm 29 years old and I've been in the grasp of nicotine since I was 15 ....

Jeremy

You have a powerful story. I'm glad you're here.

You've proven it's not a problem for you to stop. The problem was you hadn't yet quit. You needed a plan. Everybody here is familiar with that problem. We have a plan. Welcome.

[Souliman]

Congrats brother. Happy Birthday as well. Thanks for the support and words you throw around here bro. You bring the quit.

[jmiah]

Well, I'm sitting here thinking about the fact that I turn 30 tomorrow and the fact that I will not be dipping on that day. It brings me back to my 18th birthday when I was glad to be turning 18 so I could buy my own dip. I remember how excited I was to go to the store and wait for them to card me so I could say, ha, fuckers I'm legal! Looking back on the 12 years since then, I really wish I would have been wise enough to realize how much of a assbag I was for being so excited to legally kill myself. I can say that as I turn 30 I am glad that dip is out of my life and I am glad for the support of all of you as I have started this quit journey. It is a marathon and not a sprint, however marathons are completed by focusing on one foot in front of the other or mile by mile. The task is too daunting if we look at it as a whole. We have to stay focused on what we can control and that my friends, is today. So today I'm quit and I'm glad for that despite how hard it may be. Tomorrow I plan to make the same commitment as today and I can't think of anything better for my birthday than freedom. Here's to life and freedom, and a big 'Finger' to nicotine.

Yep. It has sucked but I'm getting through this about one hour at a time. My wife went to a birthday party and didn't want to take me because of my poor attitude. I'm having some moments. Thank you for checking up on me, Denny.

Jeremy

Ha. Mine gave me a piece this morning. Remember you are probably an ass hole right now but that will go a way in time. Either that or she will get used to it (not!))

Keep Quit. You got my numbers. Use them as needed, before it is too late.
Proud to be quit with you.

Will do man. Holding strong so far. I've already saved over 6 dollars in two days at a can a day over three dollars per. Thanks for the encouragement. I wish you the best as well.

Jmiah

Nice! Granted, my wife didn't know I was quitting (or that I chewed, more on that later), but my first two days were at home alone with an angry baby and high maintenance 4 year old. Don't know how I made it...stay strong brothers!

Hey Jeremy - just wondering how your day 2 turned out? Sucked? Don't forget it, this is the foundation of your freedom. You're building it one day at a time, hell my second day was one hour at a time. Don't forget this, ever. Thank you for your service and I'm proud to be quit with you today.

The 4th ID stands for Fourth Infantry Division. I served with them in Iraq in 2003. Thanks for the welcome. Too early to know how bad day two is going to be. Good morning everyone.

[rebeldog]

Welcome to the site.

What is a 4th id badge?

It ain't a prestige emblem from Black Ops. LOOT knows black ops :ph43r:

Gelas was a World of Warcraft fanatic. See how wthat turned out. Just saying. Welcome jmiah.
