"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do", unless you decided that tonight is the night to quit using nicotine. You are NOT alone when it comes to quitting. There is a HUGE number of quitters here that are willing to support you if you are willing to take the plunge.

602 days ago I took that plunge and am so fricking happy I did. First off, I quit using a product that was created to do nothing more than to kill me. Secondly, I made a shitload of friends in here. NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think that I would ever converse daily with a bunch of quitters that were fighting the same demons I was.

Was this trip easy, HELL NO!!. Was it worth it? HELL YES!!!!!!!!!! I can't express my gratitude to those that have been here when I struggled. Each day is a new part of the journey. I realize we will NEVER reach our destination until we take our very last breath. That is what keeps me going. I want to see what is around the next corner and the only way to do that is to post another +1. Something I have done every damn day for the last 602 days.

To all you newbies out there. Hang in there. POST ROLL DAILY. Make some friends. Record your journey in your Intro.

To all of you that read this, know that I quit with each and every one of you Every Damn Day.
Proud to quit with you today. Proud that you are my brother.
This is great stuff Raider. Thanks for giving us something to shoot for!
Hell yes! Thanks raider , that was awesome! Thanks for helping me along with my journey, it's people like you that make it easier!

Thx for the congrats but if it wasn't for you quitters out here, both young and old (in their quits as well as age) I wouldn't be where I am.

500 days of quit has been both trying and rewarding at the same time. This past weekend was our Cub Scout Camp out. One dude was packing and the thought of grabbing a pinch never crossed my mind. All I felt was pity for him about how he's nothing but a slave to a dead weed in a can.

Stay quit. If you are new at this, it gets way better.

Hey Fellow KTCers. Just a little update about me and my quit. I'm still solid as hell and have I been tested lately. I've had some family issues going on that have really tested my resolve. Nicotine has not been a single thought during these trying times. The problem is that my ability to spend time in here has been very limited and for that, I am sorry. I used to preach how being involved in here is one of the three main components to staying quit.

1). Post Roll Daily
2). Honor your word
**3). Be active in this site**

The past few months have definitely been a struggle but even after all of what has been going on, I am still very confident in my quit and that is because of you all. Obviously I am indebted to my group (June 14) but I also owe a shitload of thanks to The Goons (June 15). Candoit asked if I could keep an eye on those chaps and I accepted his offer. I am damn glad I did because they are some serious badass quitters and I am damn glad to have been there for them during their early stages. I call each of them my friends.

I am hoping that I will be able to become more active in the near future but only time will tell. For now I am just happy to say that I am still quit and still a 100% Roll Poster. Day 476 is in the books and I look forward to day 477 and beyond.

Hey Raider! Hope everything is going as good as it can be with the family. Also, on the other side, thank YOU for you involvement in June '15! We all got some solid advice from you, as well as the occasional well-deserved kick in the ass.

Take care, bro!

Raider good to hear from you. God be with you and your's with whatever is going on. Thanks for helping on my quit. I have always enjoyed your post. Damn proud to be quit with you my brother!
Thanks for all you have done for the Goons, Raider. We are lucky to have a friend in you. You have a big heart and I'm sure it will guide you well.

Life is funny. For the past 11 years I have been a stay at home dad and loved it, up until recently that is. Don't get me wrong, I still love being with my kiddos but now that they are in school, what's a guy to do. I figured it was time to get a job. The hard part was finding one that worked with their schedule and provided me a lot of flexibility. Where better to start than the School District that they attend.

I was fortunate to teach Computer Science in a Catholic school in Wisconsin quite a few years ago. I was never certified to teach but as a specialist we could get away with it. I loved working with the kids but never really got it. I recently applied as a Classified Substitute with our school district and was accepted. What I have found recently is that I love working with the special kiddos, you know the ones that need the extra help.

The past week I have been blessed to work 1 on 1 with a young fellow who is a cancer survivor. He had a brain tumor and is kinda hanging in there. I walk away every damn day feeling that I learned more from him than he learned from me. There is probably a lot of truth to that statement too. This kid never asked for cancer but his attitude is that he is kicking it's ass EDD. I am sure that if I had not been involved here on KTC, I would have a completely different outlook on his situation. Since starting this new job, compassion, patience, and understanding have taken a new meaning. My own kids are benefiting from my new position. I just hope that I can continue to be able to work with these kids that require so much attention.
This is great stuff brother. I am glad that you have decided to find something that gives you a purpose. Way to many of us go through life with our best gifts in a backpack. It has been my pleasure the quit with you for the last 399 days.
Inspiring! Thank you for sharing Raider.
Thanks for sharing, Raider. Sounds like you have some inspiring stuff going on.
