Day 365 = 1 Year

Well 1 trip around the sun is complete. It is difficult to write out all that I am feeling now. Am I happy, well yes I am ecstatic. I have for 365 days given my word (ok 364 times as my first post was my day 2Â…technicalities, technicalities 'crackup' ). I have a 100% posting. I stand here with no nicotine in my system. I have taken my life back from all the time I have wasted. I have taken my health back not only from high blood pressure but since May 2nd the exercise and weight loss has me down to almost the weight I was last year when I quit (had gained 30, 25+ of which is gone now). I have taken back my finances, spending it on more fun items and putting it towards my kids.

Was it a rough time? Hell yes it was. But I remember someone saying that if something you do is easy, then it will not be as rewarding as something that is more difficult to do. And this I assure everyone as I stand here it feels very rewarding.

Was it a rollercoaster? Hell yes it was. I had the ups and then the downs. My emotions ranged the whole scale. Sometimes I felt so good, others felt like crap, and still others I did not care or give a damn. And today I still dream and know I will still have this up and down (maybe not as low), but to me it was all worth it.

So at the end of this ONE YEAR, I can only say that I have taken my life back in so many more ways than just being nicotine free. I owe to KTC more than words can express for helping to make myself discover the better person inside that I had been suppressing all along.

And to my Madmen who have been there along the way, I cannot express more gratitude, I thank you all (in no particular order: Eric, Drew, Ben, Cindy, Mitchell, Scott, Bob, Kristen, Jay, Pat, Wes, Â….)

Great year man - the fb pics and talking to Bill have me thinking I need to invest in some ddpyoga DVD's! Keep up the good work you do for yourself and for so many others here at KTC and I suspect so many others you impact in other areas of your life. So... to my brother in quit, to my friend - congrats on 1 year Derek!
Nice SirDerek you are inspiration to the word quit keep up your efforts to keep yourself and others quit...quit w you today

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

I have taken my life back from all the time I have wasted. I have taken my health back not only from high blood pressure but since May 2nd the exercise and weight loss has me down to almost the weight I was last year when I quit (had gained 30, 25+ of which is gone now). I have taken back my finances, spending it on more fun items and putting it towards my kids.

Was it a rough time? Hell yes it was. But I remember someone saying that if something you do is easy, then it will not be as rewarding as something that is more difficult to do. And this I assure everyone as I stand here it feels very rewarding.

Was it a rollercoaster? Hell yes it was. I had the ups and then the downs. My emotions ranged the whole scale. Sometimes I felt so good, others felt like crap, and still others I did not care or give a damn. And today I still dream and know I will still have this up and down (maybe not as low), but to me it was all worth it.

So at the end of this ONE YEAR, I can only say that I have taken my life back in so many more ways than just being nicotine free. I owe to KTC more than words can express for helping to make myself discover the better person inside that I had been suppressing all along.

And to my Madmen who have been there along the way, I cannot express more gratitude, I thank you all (in no particular order: Eric, Drew, Ben, Cindy, Mitchell, Scott, Bob, Kristen, Jay, Pat, Wes, Â….)
Awesome, proud to quit with you today!

Day 365 = 1 Year

Well 1 trip around the sun is complete. It is difficult to write out all that I am feeling now. Am I happy, well yes I am ecstatic. I have for 365 days given my word (ok 364 times as my first post was my day 2Â…technicalities, technicalities 'crackup' ). I have a 100% posting. I stand here with no nicotine in my system. I have taken my life back from all the time I have wasted. I have taken my health back not only from high blood pressure but since May 2nd the exercise and weight loss has me down to almost the weight I was last year when I quit (had gained 30, 25+ of which is gone now).

Day 355

Taking another look through my thread, seeing the history over the past almost year, and realize that when it came time at that point last year to quit, that it was a Decision that I was to make, and then to honor it each and every day.

Decision � �a determination arrived at after a consideration.� .For me that definitely is the perfect definition from the Websters Dictionary.

Throughout our lives we make many decisions from small and inconsequential (What will I have for lunch today?) to those that are large and very life changing (Who will I marry? What career will I choose?). Well it was that almost year ago when I proceeded to make one of those life changing Decisions and kick the nicotine to the curb.

Do I regret? Hell No other than not making that Decision sooner. So I say to everyone reading this that comes onto KTC, Make sure you look at yourself, think about it and then to yourself make that determination to QUIT after considering it, because without this and making this DECISION, you may not allow yourself the strength to follow it up (ie sticking to that Decision every damn day).

I hope you new quitters take heed of this and make it serious as am not liking what I am seeing with the newer groups as, to me, that people are not making this Decision before jumping in here.
SirD is wise. Every noob should read this before posting some BS in thier intro that they are quitting "tomorrow", or for their kids, or for their dad.

Quit for yourself. Quit each day. Keep your word. Repeat.
Words of wisdom worthy if you ask me. Proud to be quit with you today brother! EDD and NAFAR!
Another snippet of the wisdom that is our Sir Derek! Proud to have you as a brother in quit my friend!
