Congrats on the half shell brother! Thanks for posting up with us everyday. Well done!
In life we have a lot of people pass by who make a little impression, and then a small handful that make a long term meaningful impact. For many of us on this site, you are one of the few. You are a consistent leader and motivator and I thank you for helping me and others. Enjoy 500 today - you've earned it!

Thought I'd post today because, in my world of quit, the 4th of July is significant on soooo many levels. Last year during the 4th I was approaching HOF and stoked about it. Freedom becoming a way of life.

This year during the 4th I'm staring down the barrel of half comma status as the next big milestone. Freedom being my new normal.

New guys... You're winning. Every day... You're winning and freedom becomes more precious and real with each victory. Rock on...
Respect.
“We're going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering. That's where we'll win out in the long run. And someday we'll remember so much that we'll build the biggest goddamn steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove [nicotine] in it and cover it up.”-Ray Bradbury (slightly modified)
I love this guy! I haven't started worshiping you yet, but you are in my category of idols.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

This has been on my mind for a few weeks now... I just haven't taken any real time to put it together. It boils down to this...

I'm 423 days removed from the complete hell that was the beginning of my quit. You new guys will relate to this... my fog was bad. Real bad. Like... a month bad. I was a freakin' zombie. I just existed for awhile y'know? Post roll... fight like hell to be quit... suck on the KTC nipple. Repeat EDD. I missed a lot of what was going on around me... I was super focused on me.

What's hit me the last few weeks is the sheer glut of people just crawling into KTC day in and day out. Needing help. I mean... neeeeeding help! It was pro'ly like that at the beginning of my own quit but I didn't see it. There's so many it's hard to keep up.

On the one hand... I'm so glad we're here to help them/you. This place will save you. Yes, it will.

On the other hand... the sheer number of people who need help is horrifying.

Nicotine is an evil enemy.
Pure. Evil.
Do not doubt my quitter friends... this is war. We are a beacon for those fighting it.
I can echo all what AJ just spit out. Remember if you have any left in your tank pay it forward and back. Keep the house light burning bright.
Good read - Nice post AJ
Great post. Very proud to be a part if this thing.
I'm down for the fight with you guys. Seriously, I hate the fact that this stuff is legal and essentially none of us who are addicts knew how absolutely evil it was-- nor did we have much of a chance to know it. I can see myself doing what I can in this battle for a long time. I"m glad there are warriors ahead of me to learn tactics from-- there are plenty of people crawling in here ready to do what it takes to save themselves! I think the world of all of you guys in this circle thread here and vow to fight with you!
This info helped me early on, and still does today: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html

Quitters I’ve met so far: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, SRohde  -- always eager to meet more!
