stepping up

[Coach Steve]

700 days is really something to celebrate- enjoy your day!

Great in a lot of ways. Yesterday coping posted in dec 2012 the amount of money saved since dumping the can. It was startling. Like.. Enough for a Hawaii vacation. There are a lot of benefits to quitting, and coping is enjoying all of them.

Day 650

Walking the dog at sun up this morning, I noticed a hawk in the middle of the next yard, feeding on a rabbit. Man, they're big beautiful birds. Holding down the prize with sharp talons and the full weight of his mass, it's head dove in rhythmically, tearing through meat and sinew. White and grey fur floated away on the breeze as he concentrated on his breakfast. The raptor barely noticed us and the dog sat quietly but intently while we watched. We don't see too many hawks around here but we do have a bunch of bunnies. They've enjoyed some success lately but seem to have gotten complacent, barely taking notice of the dog.

I can't help but feel like KTC provides the thicket for vigilant rabbits with an eye to the sky. UST waits, watches and will pounce without prejudice. It's what they do and how they survive. There are no special bunnies, only sustenance. While the circling shadows are ever present, they get smaller and less menacing each day. There's nothing in the open and they move on. Please, don't be a dead bunny. Use the tools, take shelter, post your promise every day.

You mean it is possible to not cave for 600? Well effing done sir!

Very nice 600!

Thanks men! The only thing better then 600 is 601. If not for you all and KTC, I'd still be scrambling for the next fix, out another $4 G's, staring at my forked tongue in the mirror, wondering when it would fall off. My sincerest thanks.

My son's best friend's father has just been diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. There won't be any treatment given the advancement and size of the tumor. He was/is a heavy smoker and will spend the rest of his days preparing to leave his wife and 13 y/o son behind at the ripe old age of 46.

Stay quit folks. Don't let regret be your final thought.

My heart breaks when I read this kind of tragedy. I think of how this could have been me. How that could be my wife and my kids. Thanks to all those here who helped me quit and who help me stay quit! No place else offers as much support as the fine people here. Reach out and take it! It will save your life!!

Wade made it to 47 and died this pass weekend. I'm angry, sad and scared at the same time but glad to be doing my part to hit big tobacco in the pocket all day again today with all you crazy kids.

I get the argument that we make the choice to use and increase our risk of an early death but I'll be damned if I'll give those fuggers a free ride in choosing to profit from a product they know will eventually kill their customers. This dilemma is overcome with marketing to kids and setting the hook into the next wave of users. The millions spent on lobbying to lube those gears makes me sick to my stomach.

I'm sorry to hear this bro! And yet I am glad you are sharing it! It may make the difference between a member thinking about giving up and deciding that fighting really is worth it! Thanks for reminding me of why I am quit! My heart goes out to all of you involved!

Sorry to hear of a loss so close to your family. It is great that the young man had more time to spend with his young family. Hopefully his family can grieve and remember the happy times of his life.

Thanks for sharing and i will QUIT strong each and every day for this young man.
