How to strengthen a quit.
This weekend 20 or 30 quitters met in Limerick, PA. We had a wide range of quit days. Newer members to some of our founders, including Chewie. We calculated 23,000+ days of quit with about $100,000 dollars taken away from the pockets of Big Tobacco.
Regardless of the days quit, everyone had something to offer. Everyone. The food was amazing and the fellowship was deep and heartfelt. We all left with a stronger quit. We were rejuvenated and looking forward to posting Monday morning with friends that changed lives forever. The nic bitch was shaken.
For me, most notable was my observations of the spouses. Some had been to a meet before but some were apprehensively coming to a meet for the first time, unsure of meeting their husbandÂ’s strange internet friends. I watched their apprehension melt away and a sense of comfort cross their face as they begin to realize that their husband was intertwined in a group determined to INVEST in people and insure that they too could turn a life of addiction into a life of freedom. The joy in those womenÂ’sÂ’ faces brings tears to my eye. I chatted with 7 or 8 women for quite a bit. We talked about the lying, the hiding, the Ninja dipping and time away from the family. It was their story. It was my story. They now knew their spouses were in the hands of the resolute. A ring of friendship and accountability that drew quitters from across the country.
Put a stake in the ground. Meet and invest in the fellowship of quit. Attend a quit meet; an investment that shall repay many times over. For us? Well, we are already planning to meet again in Savannah, GA January 31-February 2, 2014. Join us?
