Proud to say I will be a quitter

[Evil_Won]

SirD,

Congrats on 700, thanks for all you do, and all that you have done for me.

There is obviously a reason that thou hast been knighted. And I with mine own two eyes hath witnessed it.
How anyone can be so compassionate, level-headed and nice to bignasty blows my mind. You sir should be in line for sainthood.

Ty Doc -

I think people can see how strong he seems to be, and in such a fight we can use someone like him on our side, but it is in his mind that he needs to be open to accepting the help. He needs to let go of the anger real or imagined and say to himself that yes the way it is here not only will help him with quitting nicotine but can help him with other areas in his life.

When I first joined I would never have thought that additional part was possible, but through the connections on the site here I have started an exercise program that has me in the best shape of my life, have taken a weekend trip to a new city and have met some of the best character people that I now consider family. I can also go almost anywhere in the USA and have an invite for a meal and/or drink, and that to me is beyond my wildest thoughts.

And I would not trade any of this for the world.

True inspiration. I am proud to follow in your footsteps, Mother Theresa.

I believe that Big Nasty feels that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Something that given his profession is a big no-no. Yes he is arrogant, conceited, and just simply, an ass but he is quit and that's what counts. I too wish he would just give up on the tough guy attitude and just get along and accept the advice offered.

I agree this site has done more for me than I ever imagined. I knew I had a dipping problem but since being on here I have taken a different look at other areas in my life as well. Trying to lose weight and slowing way down on the alcohol. These are two areas that definitely need work.

I was looking through your early intros SD and noticed you were involved in Scout leadership. I am an Assistant Cubmaster and feel the same way about the oath and how dip was not good representation of the scouting way of life.

Proud to be quit with you. Happy QLF Friday!!!!

I quit with SD any day that ends with a "y"
One serious quitter and mentor.

Hey SD i was struck by your BN post too. Thanks. That was rich.

Derek = true friend :wub:

SirDerek, I liked your BigNasty post. It stated what needed to be stated, and that is all that can be done. I have PM'ed him my number several days ago, and have offered to post roll for him on the weekends if he hits me up. Thank you for all you do here at the KTC.

Day 617 Food for thought

Ever wonder why on the 100 Day HOF coin there are the words Accountability, Brotherhood and Success.

Well separately each of these has their definition. But if you take note to those of us who are around and stay around, we have turned these 3 words into an equation.

Accountability + Brotherhood = Success

just think about it and what you have seen so far in your time here.

We tell you to post every day (a form of accountability), we say to look out for one another (again accountability), we say get involved (brotherhood), not only to exchange numbers but to use them (brotherhood). We do this because we want to see you succeed.

Now look at those who cave. Common threads...they drift away from site (loss of accountability), they lose contact with the group (loss of brotherhood), they have always post and 'gone' (never built a brotherhood), they had a low posting percentage (little accountability).

So we come here to Succeed. Well I give you that equation above and to remember you need Both parts. The facts show the truth.

I know what I will continue to do, what is your path.

x2 NICE POST SIR DEREK

More than likely you will not make it on your own or else you would have never showed up here. It takes work to force a change...it doesn't just happen. I am a different person than I was 329 days ago when I had my head in the toilet only to turn and give the other end its chance followed up with body aches muscle cramps... without KTC by now I would have probably tried all that shit again just to see if I could do it (FAIL) on my own. WE only quit once!!!

Amen SirD

good post Derek. Makes perfect sense.

That's the first math equation I have ever liked! Thanks Derek!

As always Derek, gooood stuff brotha. Keep it up man. I am walking right behind man and your example has helped me along the way many many times.
