Proud to say I will be a quitter

[30isEnuff]

Day 344 -

ok got loose one more time and ran over to the House of Glass in Apr12 to find that box that CS always uses.

feels good to stand on this OK EVERYONE LISTEN UP

I remember someone telling me early on to put my QUIT above and beyond everything else in my life. To make it my number one priority. To let others know that it is my number one priority at least for the first month or two.

Well I have done just that. And because I have, I am standing today where I am staring down the 1 year milestone, and doing it one day at a time.

Now along the way, have I seen things that have distracted me, yes. Did I let it throw me off my quit, no. And Why? Because I put my quit first.

Now did I also get involved in some of the things, yes. But did I let it affect my quit in the long run, no. Again my quit is first above all else.

Now along the way have I seen people involved in those same distractions, yes. And did I see some leave KTC, yes. Why? Because They did not put their quit first.

And have I also seen some fall back into the clutches of the nic lady, yes. Why? Because like before, their quit was not first.

See a pattern there everyone? If you solidify your quit and put it above everything else, there is nothing that can happen (even the stuff from this past week), that should disrupt you from your number one priority.

damn that felt good Thanks coach for the use of your box.

I better get back as I see them searching for me as there is a straight jacket waiting for me in Oct12. Quit On.

Very well said SD.
That is powerful. 'bang head'
ODAAT and NAFAR

What is your word worth?

Well been a few weeks since I posted last and with all the happenings in my life and the drama on the site I had to put a few thoughts on this down.

We start on the site here hopefully just continuing something that we have in the basis of ourselves, and that is when we give our word, we should uphold it. Now we all have done it in the past with our addiction where we went against this fiber and either did not try as hard as we should have to quit, or we ninjaÂ’d around. Well that is the past.

I can remember one of my first days of college where we had to sign an Honor Code Pledge. Guess what this was?  A promise made with your word that you would not cheat. And what did it entail? It meant to keep your word and not cheat. The results if you did ranged from failure to expulsion.

Then I came across this site, and found that one of the basic pillars was to give that word each day to remain quit. I felt like I needed that as it would get me back to the person I once was where I would make a pledge and keep it. As a reminder to myself, I selected a name and an avatar that would represent the qualities that I wanted to follow to the heart. And in the subsequent 327 days, I have kept my word each and every day, but better yet I have honored that word.

So what is my word worth? WellÂ…

•   I could tally it with the over $1,000 that I have saved, but it is so much more than that.

•   I could say that by quitting my blood pressure is now very close to the normal range for a person of my age (135/85), instead of being through the roof high (160/100), but it is so much more than that.

•   I could say how much time wise it has saved me from the points of keeping separate from my loved ones as I dipped or had to run out to the store, but again it is so much more

All of these and there are so much more I could list, but for me, the biggest worth is above and beyond all of that. It is the fact that I did make those promises with my word each day, and I HONORED IT EACH AND EVERY DAY.

And to this I am a much better person inside that I was at this time last year.

I will sum the worth up with one wordÂ…..priceless.

Perfectly spoken SD!!!
I love you man!
I'll quit with you everyday that ends with "y"!!! 'bang head'

Well thought out...well written...well recieved and appreciated. This is something that should be set aside as required reading material for new quitters. Thanks for all you do Derek.

Well said SirD. A man is nothing if his word is no good. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for the share Derek, I might quit with you in the morning after a post like that!

On my honor!

Derek you've been a leader and a stand up guy since the day you stepped on KTC. Proud to quit with you bro.

Good shit. Given this is a virtual community our WORD is all we have. A point I think needs to driven into the head of some of the noobs. Maybe this needs to be thrown into July or August. Good stuff, bro.

Diesel not known for compassion with noobs. Hahahahaha.

I like noobs, until they try and reinvent the wheel. Then yes, I get a little psyco. I will work on that. _

why fix something that's not broken - we don't tolerate special butterflies

Your word should be the cornerstone of your character. Don't waste our time if it isn't.

Powerfull stuff, well said SD. your word ... a bond that should not be broken.

As always Derek, well spoken. You are expressing the feelings we all strive to reach. Gentlemen, if your quit does not inspire self improvement, I suggest you re-examine your motives for quitting. Derek, like many others, gets it. It is so much more than quit. It is truly priceless. With you here today and every one the Good Lord allows us from this point brother!

I can remember one of my first days of college where we had to sign an Honor Code Pledge. Guess what this was?  A promise made with your word that you would not cheat. And what did it entail? It meant to keep your word and not cheat. The results if you did ranged from failure to expulsion.

Then I came across this site, and found that one of the basic pillars was to give that word each day to remain quit. I felt like I needed that as it would get me back to the person I once was where I would make a pledge and keep it. As a reminder to myself, I selected a name and an avatar that would represent the qualities that I wanted to follow to the heart. And in the subsequent 327 days, I have kept my word each and every day, but better yet I have honored that word.

So what is my word worth? WellÂ…

•   I could tally it with the over $1,000 that I have saved, but it is so much more than that.

•   I could say that by quitting my blood pressure is now very close to the normal range for a person of my age (135/85), instead of being through the roof high (160/100), but it is so much more than that.

•   I could say how much time wise it has saved me from the points of keeping separate from my loved ones as I dipped or had to run out to the store, but again it is so much more

All of these and there are so much more I could list, but for me, the biggest worth is above and beyond all of that. It is the fact that I did make those promises with my word each day, and I HONORED IT EACH AND EVERY DAY.

And to this I am a much better person inside that I was at this time last year.

I will sum the worth up with one wordÂ…..priceless.

Perfectly spoken SD!!!
I love you man!
I'll quit with you everyday that ends with "y"!!! 'bang head'

Well thought out...well written...well recieved and appreciated. This is something that should be set aside as required reading material for new quitters. Thanks for all you do Derek.

Well said SirD. A man is nothing if his word is no good. Thanks for your support.

What is your word worth?

Well been a few weeks since I posted last and with all the happenings in my life and the drama on the site I had to put a few thoughts on this down.

We start on the site here hopefully just continuing something that we have in the basis of ourselves, and that is when we give our word, we should uphold it. Now we all have done it in the past with our addiction where we went against this fiber and either did not try as hard as we should have to quit, or we ninjaÂ’d around. Well that is the past.
