Quote from: Wedge
Thank you all for the well wishes.

Each day, as I've said before, is it's own milestone. Some are slightly bigger than others and gives us something to look forward to. But what yesterday was, was 730 times in a row that I won. Each one of those days was a check in the win column. I didn't allow my farked up brain to beat me, nor did I let anyone trick me into going back to the can.

For all of you who think that two years sounds unattainable, like it's going to take forever.....don't look at it that way. Look at it is as another day in your life that you will win. One day at a time. Sometimes the bigger picture drowns out the white noise around you that beats you.

Each day you win is a milestone. You are beating an addiction. Think about that. Yesterday, if you stayed clean, you BEAT AN ADDICTION. Doesn't matter what it is. Nic, drugs, liquor, porn.....you won. No matter that good, bad, and ugly you have happening in your life, at the end of the day, when your head hits the pillow, there will always be one positive thing in your life. You beat your addiction for the day.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is something to celebrate. I'm gonna win with all of you today.

Congrats man.

;Ironman:
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

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.
