Day 1... I quit

[worktowin]

Damn. This intro is dusty as hell! Haha


This is life today. Check this out:

AJ... 2,500



Almost 7 years ago I was looking at a blinking cursor on my laptop screen, knowing that the next words I typed on this site were going to be epic. Life changing. Scary. Needed.

“AppleJack... Day 1”
(I still have no damn idea why I stuck with that stupid name.)

I have no special knowledge to impart today. This process is pretty damn easy. Make your decision. Own it. Work it. Get involved here. Stay involved here.

Done.

I’m not even close to the activity level I practiced during my first year or two after quitting. But... still here every day. Still 100% on daily roll. Don’t plan on changing that any time soon. The 10-20 seconds it takes to post up and strengthen my quit each day are gladly given. Gladly. It’s the cost of freedom but it’s NOTHING compared to the benefit of freedom.

Complete badass quitter here. Not easy but it's simple!

Impressive and BADASS

Thanks for your leadership over the past 7 years, Shane.  We've seen a lot of stuff here... leaders come and go, drama out the wazoo, threats, platform changes, lost friends to cancer, seen divorces and health problems play out, but in the end... we keep following the plan that was laid out by KTC (post roll, keep your promise, brotherhood + accountability = success) and here we are - winning at something that seemed so damn impossible. 

Thanks for being a leader, and a friend.  Congratulations on another huge milestone - with many more to come.

6 freaking years you Rock Star, I still remember the day we first interacted, you were and still are a quit God.

You are an inspiration to myself and many others, thanks for leading the way.

Skol 471 days with my brudda Shane

Thanks, man! 

6 years ago today I did the most important thing I’ve ever done in my entire 48 years here on earth.

More important than getting married.
More important than my daughter being born.
More important than any job.
More important than... “x”.

I typed 3 words on some weird website... with people I don’t know and will probably never meet... with the expectation that I type a variant of those 3 words each and every damn day until... whenever:

AppleJack... Day 1

(I still don’t know what the hell that name means or what the hell I was thinking when I signed up under that. Fog? Oh, hell yes.)

It was the scariest thing I have ever done.
It was/is the most empowering thing I have ever done AND will ever do. Period.

I say it was more important than anything because I took my life back. Took it back so that all the other important things in life will never again be tainted by my addiction or take a back seat to it.

Never. Again.

6 years. 100% poster still and... will continue to be. 10-20 seconds each day to remind me of my freedom?

Gladly.

Rock on Brother!

Outstanding!! Thanks for showing the way!!

Great job man.

You.  Are.  The.  Man.

Thanks Shane for being a great asset and mentor on this site, and a great friend.  Congratulations on 6 years!

Impressive. Good for you sir.

Wow.

I thought this intro was just going to get moldy and fade into oblivion.

It does my Quit enormous good to see all/most of the KTC history and wisdom all in one place again! I (and others, for sure) gave Admin some serious shit when we moved over to this site.

For me... almost 6 years have passed since I first typed in this intro and posted roll for the first time. This is stuff I don’t want to forget... ever. That’s why I’m still here and still a 100% poster. To forget is to fail. Do I need to post roll anymore?... Pro’ly not. BUT... addiction isn’t ever cured... it’s just managed. At this point I’m really damn good at it. Being quit isn’t an effort anymore... the work I put in at the beginning let me move Quitting as something I was doing to Being Quit as something I am.

Profound difference.

Anyway... blah, blah, blah.
Loving my freedom more every damn day.

Posting roll is a system.  It's a system that works.  If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it.  I've enjoyed our interactions in Wildcard.

Weird little milestones renew my Quit.
They are a tiny reminder for me to rage against complacency.

TodayÂ’s milestone?...

Born: 1970
Quit: 1,970 days

Even if nobody but me gets a little quit chub... who cares!?!
That is some good shiz right there.

Still 100% poster.
Still here everyday... nowhere near as rabid as I used to be but... still here and STILL grateful for this site and the badass people I connect with every damn day.
Still moving away from the addict mindset.
Still owning this.
Still discovering new freedom.

Get involved... stay involved.

Wow!!! 1970 is unreal brother... But, ODAAT got you there. 100% poster at 1970 days is inspirational! Proud to quit with you today and EDD!!!

Let me know when you hit 1971. Real men were born in 1971...

Nice work brother! proud be quit with you.

Actually.. Old men were born pre 1971.
