Quote from: CBird65
I decided early in my quit that posting roll was going to be a first thing priority. As soon as my feet hit the floor, I walked my happy ass to my office and posted roll call. Nicotine was off the table for the day and I just needed to be a man of my word and keep my promise. In my mindÂ’s eye I was also putting another nail in the door that separated me from the nic bitch and I knew I could never close it 100% if I missed a day.
I also started noticing vets posting with our group and as a way of increasing my accountability, I added a post in their rooms as well. I posted support for them as a tribute to each of those groups/quitters who invested their time and energy in my quit and will continue to support them along with the newbs as long as I have quit in my lungs. Our quits must be 100% our decision to start with but KTC is a brotherhood and a community. We all failed miserably when we attempted to stop on our own. So embrace the brotherhood and allow yourself to be held accountable.

In the end QUIT isn't about happily ever after. It's about work. Its a determined commitment to grow together in accountability and a willingness to continually invest in creating something that can endure day by day. Through that work, the freedom will come.

I still have the zengineer's striped hat in my room. TJ likes to wear it around after showering. It still reminds me of the old days when conductors drove solo and HOF introductions were less than an 1000 words..... :ph43r:

Thanks for the continued inspiration.
