Congrats tjschu on 2hundy!
You said you can do anything short term.
Easy smeasy...Just do it today.
And we are cured......
We are cured knowing today again we fight.
Uncured.... Is not fighting and giving in to be a slave of a lie.
Appreciate how you sir are playing it forward.
I quit with you for a short time... Forever....EDD ODAAT.

'boob' solid quit you have going, love your enthusiasm in new quitter intros. Congratulations on the first of many floors to come!
Nice job TJ, you've earned this and it only continues to get better!

Wow today is my HOF day. Doesn't seem real. It seems like I just started this journey. Well in reality I have just started. HOF is nice and all but it was never my goal. I had no doubt that I could do 100 days I'm just built that way. I can endure anything for short periods of time. Today becomes the real test. Continuing to chalk up +1s. I would like to thank everyone that helped me get to this point. I would name names but I don't want to miss anyone. You know who you are any way. I'm not ready to do my HOF speech yet but here are some things I have learned in my short time here that may be helpful to others.

- I am an addict and after 100 days I am not cured. I still get craves. In fact I had some pretty bad ones two days ago. They are a lot easier to deal with now. That voice that tells me I can just run up to the gas station and grab a can so I can feel "normal" again is gone. A piece of Trident usually does the trick. If not I go to a fireball. I still use fake from time to time, but not very often.

- I have learned to live with the disappointment that I will never be "cured" I honestly never really tried to quit before and I thought that at some point that I would be "cured" of this addiction.

- This place works!!! If you come in and drink the Kool Aid, work the program, and build accountability with your quit brothers and sisters you can be successful at quitting.

- Being involved here strengthens your own quit. Reaching out and helping others has strengthened my own quit.
I almost forgot. I realized how stupid I must have sounded to my doctor when I told her I didn't want to take any medication. Right after admitting to using two cans of cope a day!
