870!?!

Dayum!

I really got nothing to lay down. No profound quit knowledge. Nothing earth-shaking has happend. No life crisis. Family is good. Yeah... just life's ups and downs. I've seen quite a few old heads post in their intros the last few months about their activity level on site. How it has waned... relaxed, really. No more doggin' the intros and jumping all over noobs or idiots who talk smack. Just... enjoying the flow of a life not ruled by their/our addiction.

Same here.

For a helluva stretch I was logged on here pretty much all damn day. Posted up everywhere. And... I needed to. 25 years of nicotine junkie status required it. I, like so many of you/us, had to literally rebuild my life. We rarely get the "re-do" like when were playing as kids. That ultimate start over. KTC gave me that chance. I took it... I went overboard with it. The payoff has been... _____ (fill in the blank). It's everything.

You new guys... grind it out, man. Roll around in the pain. Soak up the misery. Wear it like a badge. Wave it like a banner. Doing ths... really doing this... owning this... is what freedom is all about. There's a price to pay for it because it's precious and you need to never take it for granted again.

Freedom... it's pretty damn cool.
True!
I'm on the same track as you AJ. Everyday still gets better, but it's not just about quitting, it's about rebuilding. I rarely think about nicotine anymore, but not one day goes by that I don't remember what I have accomplished with the coaching and friendship of the likes of you and many others.

Listen to AJ...embrace the pain. Own it and remember it.

one heck of a lot of wisdom in this dogpile vortex of quitters--- read and learn! AJ has helped so many along the way, and the journey gets better all the time!
Damn fellows thanks! I needed that definite quit boost! Quit on you badasses!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Another huge milestone fora bad ass quitter! You have come a long way dude! It is an honor to quit with you.

Congrats on 800.
I'll add my congrats too on an awesome 800!!
Congrats on 800 Shane!! You're rocking this quit every day!!
I'm quit for 646 days today because you came before me. Thanks for helping me quit again today!
8th floor man! Congrats!!!
Shane you are my friend and brother and I can never thank you enough for all your support. You are ;Ironman: Enjoy your day Rocker! 'oh yeah'
congrats my friend enjoy your day and reflect back over your 800 days!
One badass quitter! 8th floor see you at 9th ,quit on!
I think the amazing thing about the our work and effort to quit is the impact it has on other's quits. AJ - you were a key cog in mine. Another dude from the internet, that decided even though you didn't know me, I was important enough to put the time and effort into helping. Your calls and texts and chats all along those first few hundred days were so key in my quit. I remember at one point asking you how the view is from the 3rd floor and you said it was amazing and I should come on up. In some ways, I can't believe how time has gone by so fast. It sure didn't seem like it was those first few days. My brother, I'm so grateful for you, and proud to quit with you.
Level 8 is huge! Congrats.
8th floor is awesome! Keep leading the way for me Shane!
Thanks guys...

I don't spend near the amount of time here as I used to. For awhile I was logged in 24/7... I needed it. I'm not sure when I turned the corner but I'm stoked that at this point... quitting isn't something I think about. Ever. It's something I just am.

New guys... put in serious time and effort to build your quit. It pays off in ways that will blow your mind! Freedom is damn cool.
..
Enjoy the day AJ!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.
