Quitting nicotine has been an amazing experience. I found this site 848 days ago. In that time I have found a way to conduct my life without nicotine. The first few months were hard but it was so worth it. I have met some amazing people along the way. From all different walks of life we came to know each other. We shared a common desire and a common goal. We were seeking freedom from an addiction. With the help of this site and the help of each other we have found that freedom.

I am typing this update to my intro 100s of miles from home as I visit 4 friends from my quit group. That may seem strange to some. It still seems strange to me. But I don't care.

We quit nicotine. But we gained a lot more.

See you in Vegas in 2016!

800 days of freedom! Seems unreal doesn't it?

Lately I've been reading through the intros more of some struggles new quitters are facing. No one better journaled their fight against nicotine than you did. In the beginning it was a fight that seemed hopeless, impossible. But it isn't.

Thanks for being a very key part of the success of our April 2013 group, and of my own success. We can't quit alone and be successful. With the right group, the right brotherhood, and the right accountability... You will not fail. You are proof that this works.

Huge congrats on the 8th floor! Great work.

Thanks guys. I almost missed this. I am hardly ever on the intros anymore. I need to make it a point to get back here. The view is great from the 8th floor but I NEVER want to forget what life was like at ground level. Never forget day one. For years I was a hopeless slave. Mouth full of shit, grobbling idiot. I will quit when this happens, I will quit after that happens, I will quit next week, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Nicotine free for 2 years. Yeah baby. Sometimes I still have to pinch myself. I did it. I actually did it.

It did get easier, just like the vets said it would. In the beginning I wished that quitting was easier and that life would get back to normal faster.

Normal? What the hell is that? As a dipper there was no normal. I was either satisfied or withdrawing. Life revolved around my damn blood nicotine levels. Everything is different now.

Now in hindsight, I am glad that it was this difficult. I needed the pain. If it was easy I would be in danger of caving again, under the pretense that I could just quit again anytime I wanted to. Someone once said, "without struggle there is no progress". I tend to agree.

I truly believe that the stars were aligned for me on that fateful day. I discovered this amazing website. I met some amazing people. Many of them had the exact words I needed to hear at the exact time I needed to hear them. My wife was supportive and patient. My attitude was finally right. I was ready for the help and support that I never knew I needed. I realize that these perfect circumstances were nothing short of a miracle. I am grateful.

If you are thinking about quitting, DO IT AND DO IT NOW. You must seize the moment. The desire to quit can be fleeting. DO IT NOW. That desire may not return again until it is too late. The stars are aligned today. Tomorrow may never come and when it does you may be too damn busy to quit, or too damn busy to care.

A great quitter once told me, "never forget day one". I never will.

Congrats on two years!!! And well said!!!!

People like you are what this site is all about. You have built a team and hold them, and expect them to hold you, accountable. You are on roll call every day. You support others. I don't think I would be here today were it not for you holding me accountable in those early days 2 years ago.

You have struggled. Fought hard. And won every day for 2 solid years. Congratulations Ryan. Enjoy a great day of freedom!

I love reading your posts IG2H. Huge congrats on two years free!

Thank you for the kind words gentlemen. It feels good to win. I am told that the 2 year mark is actually quite special. According to the actuaries after 2 years, statistically I am no more likely to use nicotine use than someone who has never used.

That said, I really don't take great comfort in statistics. Who cares about the masses? When it comes to me and my quit, I will still guard it with my life and treat it like the treasure that it is. For I know what addiction is now. There is no "just one". All the quit in the world can be thrown about in a millisecond. I must keep the tools sharp. I know I still need them.

2 years, huge. congrats on another milestone

Quit with you!! Congrats

Nice job Ryan, congrats!
