Day 6 quit, no turning back

[starr_78]

ItÃ,’s been a while since I made a post on my thread that was for me and now that IÃ,’m 11 months in, coming up on my first trip around the sun in 18 years - nicotine free, IÃ,’ve done some reflecting. I donÃ,’t consider myself a veteran because IÃ,’m still learning about my quit and being quit every day, but IÃ,’ve seen a lot in these past 11 months. Of these experiences IÃ,’ve witnessed, I feel like IÃ,’ve learned the most about my quit from those who have caved. IÃ,’ve seen people cave and come back with a vengeance, becoming all-star quitters. Conversely there have been cavers who come back and cave again. IÃ,’ve seen serial caversÃ,…cave, and those who have been complete cancers to KTC. My biggest take away from their experiences and inadvertent teachingsÃ,…the importance of posting roll. ItÃ,’s the one constant on both sides of the coin. Those who have caved and ultimately succeeded have been roll posters. Those who have never caved, Ã,…roll posters. Long time vets who cavedÃ,…stopped posting roll.

On the flip side IÃ,’ve also been inspired by some remarkable addicts. IÃ,’ve been inspired by stories of perseverance and resolve; and these come in a variety of flavors. Some involve incredible stress and life events while others come from subtle persistence like the 100% roll poster who prefers to be active with their quit group. Daily victories no matter how simple or complex continue to inspire me.

Yet truly the biggest lesson IÃ,’ve learned in this short time is that IÃ,’m not cured. IÃ,’m still an addict, and IÃ,’ll always be an addict because she never stops whispering. But, IÃ,’m ok with that. I am an addict, but that is not who I am. I am a man of my word and I am a quitter. And IÃ,’m damn proud of that. That is who I am today.

Lastly, and equally as important to me as my quit, are my quit brothers. Many of them are faceless friends to me, but they are so different than any other group of friends I have in my life. No group of friends has helped me to save my own life and hold me accountable to that. I am continually in awe of the magnitude of my quit and the impact these folks have had on my life. I have no other friends like that in my life and I would go to great lengths for them because they are so important to me on so many levels. Friendship is built on trust, and we built that trust by posting roll. So, to my friends at KTC and to all the quitters here at KTC, thank you.

Honored to be on this ride with you Andy. You pretty much summed up ktc in a few sentences. Life is so good now that we own it again.

Well said brother. Congratulations!

That last paragraph definitely has meaning for me. Well said brutha.

Bravo, man.

Well said Steak! Proud to be quit with you today!

Really great post Andy. As always, so proud to call you my brother!

Proud as heck to quit with you daily man! Congrats on the lap- let's do another!

Good stuff, Andy. I hope you understand the calm and the clarity you bring to KTC. In the few months I've been here, I've seen firsthand how you will take in everything that is happening here and craft it into something that is relatable and meaningful for fresh quits and vets alike. That's a rare talent, so I hope you stick around and continue to hone it for a long time to come.

Wow! Strong, useful, words for anyone that is quitting. It's an honor to be quit with Andy every single day.
