Proud to say I will be a quitter

[cbird65]

Thank you all for the kind words and the show of personal support. I just wish I would have done this early on in my quit instead of holding it in, because what happened here today shows me that something works.

As the sun sets, I do feel better, the wounds are healing, the armor is just about ready for when it may be needed.

Here's to what will hopefully be a sound nights sleep and a return to health in the morning. And Here's to seeing all of you here on roll for tomorrow

(on a side note because it was one of the few smiles I actually had over the past couple of days, I am getting CS a Yonana's machine for all of his f*cking bananas....)

home is where the heart is.....would that be a good summary....good night

Sir, you have more than my support...... you have my faith, I as many here do follow in your footsteps.

Advancing the quit another day and damn glad to have you protecting my back

I will collect on that signature!

Wasn't planning to be back in here so soon but I needed to get this off my chest (nothing horrible):

For those that have come to know me here I am a regular guy just like the most of you. I have also been called the level headed one. For that take a look through my intro and decide for
yourself.

Now one of the words that I would say is probably a quality that I have, and people may call
me and that is Naive. When I look up the Websters definition I see "marked by unaffected
simplicity", and with this I would tend to agree. I like to keep it simple. I like to look at
a person and extend them the trust up front. You know the wear your heart out on your sleeve.
Well I had never thought about it before in being a good or bad quality to have, but after
recent events, I feel that this has become a little chink in my armor.

So on these days where I should be happy as my group hits and myself nears the 2 year peak, I lay in a sleepless state in bed with the feeling (whether real or imagined, and it may just be in my head) of many wounds in between my shoulder blades.

But you know what. I picked my head from the pillow and gave my word today to not use any nicotine. That would make 724 days out of 725 that I have posted my word and have honored it (I joined on my day 2, and the missed day was out on the Appalacian Trail leading the boy scouts on the overnight hiking trip). I will also be looking through the intros and plan to spend my usual 4+ hours, in the live chat room doing what I can for those who need help, or a distraction, or just a friendly hello. I try to be that friend, that mentor, that brother.

What will sting and take time, is the healing of the wounds. And with time they will go away and this will pass. But that which has not killed me can only make me stronger.

So my armor is back in the forge, being tailored to be stronger than ever in this fight against the poison that brought us here.

So who needs a quit partner today, Lets honor our word

I'll quit with you SD. Any day. You have my word today.

Proud to quit with you, brother.

You know my loyalty is with you my brother! I quit with you today and everyday!

Im with you too

congrats derek help get the house back in order

I'm here too, great post Derek. Cooler heads are beginning to show through. I think of KTC as my family, my brothers that have helped show me a better way to live. Families have fights, disagree, feelings get hurt and egos bruised. The important thing is to stick together, I see that now... thanks SD.

You and many of the men that have posted on your thread led me through the darkest hours of my life. I remember seriously considering rolling myself up into a ball and crying at one point. Ok, truth be told it was just a consideration because I was way too fat then... But nonetheless that was what I felt like. You guys pulled me out if that darkness and led me to a light that I couldn't imagine.

I quit with all of you today, and I thank you for saving my life and making it worth living.

This is what KTC is about.
