How to strengthen a quit.

This weekend 20 to 30 quitters met in Savannah, GA.Ã,  We had a range of quit days from 200 or so days to a 6,000+ days.Ã,  I would hazard to guess we had at least 20,000 days of quit at this meet.Ã,  I would venture to say three or four of the quitters were instrumental in the formation of KTC.Ã, 

My observations were the following.Ã, 

Regardless of the days quit accrued everyone had something to offer.Ã,  Everyone.Ã,  Moreover, everyone left with a stronger quit.Ã,  I watched men that have been quit since the 90s get rejuvenated.Ã,  They looked forward posting Monday morning with friends that changed their life forever.Ã, Ã,  The nic bitch must have been shaken.

For me, most notably were my quiet observations of the women that came with their spouses.Ã,  Some had been to a meet before but some women were apprehensively coming to a meet for the first time.Ã,  I watched their apprehension melt away and a sense of comfort cross their face as they begin to realize that they were amongst a group of men and women that were determined to INVEST in people and insure that they too could turn a life of addiction into a life of freedom.Ã,  The joy in those womenÃ,’s faces brings tears to my eye.Ã,  They knew their spouses were in the hands of the determined.

Put a stake in the ground.Ã,  Meet and invest in the fellowship of quit.Ã,  Attend a quit meet It is an investment that shall repay many times over.

I wish I knew who to credit but someone said, "If I knew quitting was this fun I would have quit a long time ago".Ã,  Well said friend.Ã,  Quit on.
Frickin Awesome Sco!!!

Nice race report as well

Looks like a WOW post to me.

Well done my friend.
These guys have become almost like a second family to me.
Well put, Sco!!
I'm sorry I missed this back when you first posted it. I've been to this meet two years now, and I will attend every year that it continues. I agree that watching the spouses' reactions was truly an elightening thing. Most notably when Musicluvah sang his personal song that he wrote about KTC. Not a word was said. A silence fell over Scowick's back yard except for guitar melodies and a lone quitter's voice. As I was soaking up the words, I looked around the crowd and was deeply moved. Every quitter was focused on the song and emotionally involved with every word, gathering closer as a group. The spouses and friends sat or stood silently, seemingly in awe of the moment. Even though the words weren't as personal to them, they realized that we are all a part of something unbelievable. The whole weekend, but particularly those few minutes, are something that cannot be described. People were moved to tears.

If anybody reading this has not been to a get-together, you are missing out. I made a post a couple weeks before the meet described above, and it perfectly sums up why I do these meets. Read it in in Chewie's blog post here and hopefully you'll understand the value.

Scowick, I can't thank you enough. See you next year, my friend, if not before.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Well, the world didn't end and I quit yesterday. I quit today and I will quit tomorrow, God willing that I'm still here. I made the choice to quit regardless of situation, that will not change based on extraneous factors of life.

Quit is quit and I am it!
