Day 176, and IÂ’ve gone undefeated against the nic bitch for almost 6 months; and it gets better and better with each passing day. I havenÂ’t documented much about my quit on this thread, but so much has happened.

- I finally have medical sanity that the issues that prompted my quit are resolved. No lingering throat issues, headaches – stress related, and dental check-up went well. 18 years and lucky to be relatively unscathed.
- Found an old emergency tin that I missed. The sight of it felt foreign to me and I had no desire to even take a whiff. I then hid it in the trash and while doing so, paused. ThatÂ’s funny, I used to hide my empty tins in the trash all the time. Difference this time was, I didnÂ’t want my wife to find it in fear sheÂ’d think IÂ’d caved. I then told her this,Â…because IÂ’m free now and can tell her anything.
- IÂ’ve built an accountability foundation that is so rock solid, I am afraid to put a single chip in it. What I mean by that, the foundation is pristine to me. To cave, to even think of caving, putting a single scratch in that foundation, is enough to deter me.
- I continue to learn every day from everyone. Newbies, veterans, and those who have caved but have come back with vengeance.

ThereÂ’s so much more, but the one thing I canÂ’t stress enough is posting roll. I am 176 for 176. 100%. Posting is like polishing my accountability foundation made of marble. The other day I received a text from a quit brother asking to post for another guy because he himself wasnÂ’t near a computer. Double text, because we all cared about posting for the first guy. FÂ’n love that shit.

Anyway, thatÂ’s all for now. Quit on brothers.
Awesome!!
Proud to quit with you today. There is so much upside ahead that I honestly can't even put it into words. Thank you for your support btw. This is a team effort, and we don't have any weak links in our chains.
Thanks for being a rock solid quitter!!
You have an Iron Will and Fortitude and are one of the rocks of our class! I am so fucking proud to call you my friend and brother!
Gave me chills reading this! I am proud to be a part of that foundation! You are a badass my friend

Day 100 reflection.  I am proud to be a badass quitter.  I love being quit and I love my freedom.  I am also humbled by this experience and the magnitude of change KTC has brought into my life.  It has empowered me to save my own life and given me brotherhood, friendships, and support...simply through a daily promise to those who have traveled down the same road as I.  KTC is huge, and to have been able to start the first 100 days down this new road, with this group of people, has changed me. 

I am still an addict, but today, I am not addicted.  Thank you.
Way to go Steakbomb! Congratulations on your first hundred. +1 coming up tomorrow. Glad to be quit with you.
