Today marks 6 years for me. It’s hard to believe. One single day at a time. If you are considering quitting, or new to it, please know that the more you put into it here, the better your chances. The method here works. Nothing else I ever did worked.

Build a network here of quitters in your group and other longer quits. Learn all you can about this awful addiction. Communicate all you can. I used this intro as a sort of diary to remind me later of the SUCK I went through, conquered, and never want to go through. It also let others know how I was doing, and helped them help me through tough times. I read a LOT of otter intros and learned that someone else always had it worse than me, and that others experienced every weird symptom that ever hit me. And that’s nothing  too normal! Haha!

I keep posting still, and meet as many quitters as I can. It keeps me accountable, and I’ve made some friends for life. I’ve lost some friends too- to the damned disease from this addiction. But that makes me keep  committed too. And new friends keep showing up in our Jan 14 class and otherwise. Go for it- you can have a better life without nicotine than you can even imagine if you have been hooked as long as I was!
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!

2000 days. Hot damn! If that ain't a challenge I'm willing to accept I don't know what is. I'll post my 2001 days in 5.5 years and hopefully inspire some other guy in his first 60 days like you just did me. Congrats brother, stay quit!

Thanks so much sir and I’m glad you are inspired! One day at a time adds up!  Be sure you let me know when you make it,
In case I forget to check!   You will do it if you stay in the game each day here! Quitting with YOU today Rose!

2-0-0-0 days! I don’t post as much any more, but I still hit roll in Jan 2014 daily, and that is the secret.  My quit is one of the best accomplishments in my life. I’ve been through all kinds of tests, but I stay quit thanks to the koolaid here, and the fellowship.  If you are new or deciding whether to do it, just QUIT and follow the methods here. Go all in. I chewed for over 30 years, always failing to quit until I jumped in here.  Come on, join us!
You CAN do it if you do what they say here.
It was the only way for me.

And p.s.  I still get craves or urges. Some don’t at this point.  I’m really good at smacking them down
By now though.  You get good at it when you quit, with intention, daily.

Damn right! Way to go B!
'oh yeah' m'man Brett! Just keeps getting better and better. Congrats brother!
Hell Ya Brett! Way to be!
Believe that qualifies as stud material Brett!
Congrats on your 3 years man! Badassery!
Congrats Brett! It is amazing all you have accomplished during that time. Thank you for the steady support to me and KTC, brother.

Adding my congrats! Three years is killer. I still sometimes point new quitters to your signature block to read that article about how nicotine 'f's" with your head. You, sir, are a stud!
Thank you all so much for the support! This life is SO much better and continues to amaze me! Freedom is better than I ever imagined- probably because I never knew freedom in my adult life. Three years is surreal. Now I can get cheaper insurance! Haha! Honestly I feel like I just hit one year a few weeks ago. The "game" really does slow down. But I still find that I need the tools at times, and I prefer the daily quit insurance policy of posting daily and keeping a network of quitters alive, to risking what I've built so far. Honestly I don't think I could go through what it took again, so I'll take the easy route and maintain it as good as possible. Keep quitting hard everyone, and if you are lurking, wondering, just jump in and quit with all your might. You can do it with the program here! Nothing else ever worked for me.
Congrats on 3 years Brett, proud to quit with you every day!
Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.
