My friends:

I have called you today to announce that due to changes in my personal life and work, I have decided that after a short time, to resign my position of moderator. I found that during the period, the energy it took was consuming was incredibly high for me, and that I would not be able to keep up with that moving ahead.

I do have to say that I am proud of this Admin and Moderator team from what I have seen. They do a tremendous job in covering all of the issues on the site from day to day, that as a member I had no idea that were occurring. And they have my total respect as at the top of their interest is their helping of the quitters on this site. I am glad I was a part of your group and will to continue to call each of you my friend.

Now as I look back to this table in Oct12 that someone had gifted to me back in February, I think there is a fix needed to be doneÂ…

a saw sounds as a worker walks around the table taking small pieces as the corners get cut off, another worker appears with a sander, turns it on and follows the first smoothing out the edges, a third follows with a dust rag and wipes away the sawdust making the table shineÂ…..

There now I am more comfortable. Now I feel like I am back at home. I invite you all, join around this table my friends and letÂ’s celebrate our freedom from nicotine and prepare ourselves to continue our battle each and every day. My word to you is that I will stand in this fight against nicotine right beside you.

I am embarking on a personal quest over the next 7 days and 7 nights, it will be a time for much introspection, to re-find my way, so I will most likely not be around very much, but my table here is for you to use, for squires to ask questions, to celebrate tales of you victories and as I return I will have more tales and recollections to rejoice in.

Be honorable and quit my friends

As in so many years ago when those brave men fought to gain a country's independence, we too embarked on our own quest to become independent, this one from a poisonous master.

So as we remember all that was given back then, and all that it currently takes for these battles I say:

Thank You and Quit On.

Enjoy a Safe, Happy Independence Day my friends.

Derek I almost missed this. Unfortunately most of the posts from long time quitters are filled with political KTC stuff. Yawn. Regardless you, along with CBird are the only vets who have been with me on my quit the whole way. I'll quit with you everyday and twice on Tuesdays.
