Pab shot these words of wisdom to a group of us in a text this morning... they deserve a place in this intro, which is far from a lonely road...

My addict life, pretty much everything I've done my whole life, has almost been in addictive ways. I go all out in everything I do. I'm smarter now. I know to be cautious and back off when getting too carried away. I owe it all to my quit; this place has taught me so much more than just quitting dip; mostly copying with life! Had to write this, cause I've been thinking a lot about it.

BOOM!
That is kick ass and couldn't agree more.
Hell yeah Pab
Don't be afraid.  You are not alone.

Wow.... Just..... Wow! Thanks! 500 days later and I can promise you, if it were not for all of you that have supported me I never would have made it. I'm an addict, I always will be, I've learned to except that. There's no magic number! There's no cure, I'm weak without ktc family. With them I will continue to defeat this awful addiction that has taken way to much of my life away. How can anyone say there stopping after they reach a 100 days. Damn I still battle this shit nearly everyday! I think some chest pumpers are to full of themselves to admit they can't make it alone. I'm not saying everyone that stops posting will fail but I'm willing to bet that the majority will! I've battle this demon with help. I could have never made it alone. I will continue posting until I'm cured. A special shout out to chewie and all the badasses that invented KTC! My life has done a complete 180! Yes I've finally, after 38 years have started to figure out what normal is. It took me forever to even like myself. I don't hide behind a can no more, I'm the man that I've always wanted to be and damn proud of it. I'm really writing my hof that I've never wrote. There's a numerous amount of men and women on here that I truly respect and would drive to your house tomorrow. I've watched several guy's struggle with different things. Some survived because they ask for help and they wanted to. Others failed because they were to proud to ask for help or they knew all the answers and some just gave up. If one thing I've learned in my 52 years here on God's beautiful earth is, To be thankful everyday for what I have and not grip about what I don't. I've truly grown to love ( that's right love not in a ghey way GA and DD) alot of my KTC family because I feel like I know them and have only met a couple but we talk more than I do with my real family. I could continue writing a whole bunch more because I'm so humbled and honored to be a part of KTC! As for my brothers Teray, kdip and trauma you guys are on mind everyday and prayers are sent constantly, some of the strongest men I know and not once have I ever heard you complain. Damn.....just...... Damn! Thanks again, I will see you all on roll tomorrow unless, I'm called home! Quit on!
Congratulations on 500 days my friend. You are a BAQ and an inspiration here. I'm proud to quit with you EDD. Roll tide roll - unless they are playing Penn State... ;)
You are amazing, I cherish the day you decided to help me, humbled, thankful, Blessed. Thanks again.
Well done on 501 Old Man!
Appreciate you friend.
a day late, but...

'party' 'dance' 'party2' 'chew2' 'party2' 'dance' '3boobs' 'jj' 'party'

Congrats i think you're really close to an "old fart" of quit now- keep it up, keep helping others beat back this nasty addiction!
You're my horse even if you don't win a race! Rock on!
