I know it hasn't always been a Sweet Ride,
But I think it's been the ride you needed to become such a strong force in your quit and others.
Thank you so much for all you do here and the tireless, selfless efforts you make daily.

Just one and you will be back to where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are now.

FLOOR.. 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12...13..14..15..16..17..18..19

It is very simple! We quit for today! We wake up! Do it again tomorrow!! One day at a time!
We walk in each others quit shoes, it may be a little different but ultimately the same exact thing

"Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."

I have to make it through today to get to tomorrow.

Worry won't change tomorrow.
Regret won't change yesterday.
Change today so you won't have worry or regret.

Focus on what you can effect directly, your actions. Nothing I do or say can effect you unless you grant me the power over you.
I Quit with you today pards.

Quitting is not about removing something in your life. It is about redefining your life.

For my 1st full year in car sales (2016): 142 cars sold and I was within 1800 of what I made my last year in the classroom.

I am happy and can say that the stress in my life is 80% of what it used to be. I can now sort through the stressors and deal with them as they come. I would say that is true a good 80% of the time. There are still things that get me going but I am able to self adjust and monitor, effectively.

Reading back through everything I have posted and shared over the 2+ yrs here on KTC and I have defiantly refined my life for the better, one day at a time. I know that I am not the same person I was when I started. I also know that I have yet to even see the finial product of this journey. That has me excited and nervous. I need to remind myself that looking ahead is great, but I can only get there when I focus on today.

Goals for 2017
- Get back down below 200 lbs (haven't been there since 2010)
- Spend at least 2 hours a week doing something for me
- Spend 10 hrs a week unplugged and with the family
- Master the sales phone call
There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My journey. The best part it is not over yet.
