Quote from: srans
I'm on day 209 and my life has changed dramatically. I just took my blood pressure the other day.

123/83,,,, No medication... 7 months ago I was contemplating high blood pressure medication. I thought quitting was impossible. I was contemplating using other methods to quit. All I had was hope, try and maybe tomorrow......

Thank you ktc. Thank you to everyone that was here when I came here. If it were not for all these guys and gals I would probably be on medication right now. I would probably be smoking one of them crack pipes with nocotine in it. I might be using one of them arm patches with the poison slipping in through my weak shell of a man. I would still be feeling like my life didn't belong to me. I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF ME, THE POISON DID!!!

Here I learned that I could be strong,, I just had to believe it. I learned that the poison did not have to control my life. I LEARNED THAT I COULD CONTROL MY ADDICTION!!

The way I learned this was listening to vets like Diesel. My addiction was in control and I don't think someone holding my hand and patting me on the back would have helped much. The addiction had me bound tied and gagged. Tough love is what I needed. I needed someone strong to break that barrier. I was controlled by my addiction for 25 plus years. I needed to be woken up and dragged out. Thanks Deisel! Thanks to all the vest here that don't mind telling me the truth!!!!! End of rant...
srans,
I love to be the one to tell you this but...your Intro thread wreaks of QUIT!

You have served as an inspiration to me and I am certain that is was because of those vets doing the same and you following their example. I can always count on you trolling the intro threads, and monitoring but being quick to comment when necessary with sound advice or encouraging words.

I am proud to quit with you today, we can argue about tomorrow when it comes; but today I quit with you. we are separated by 150 days but today is a plus one for each.

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.

Srans - welcome to the second floor! I will echo a lot if the other voices - you have helped me and many others thru your truthful and inspirational messages. I'm a few days ahead of you, but life keeps getting better without nicotine! Thank you for being a voice of reason and for always saying the right thing at the right time. Floor 2 is a party floor, but I bet 3 will be even better-- celebrate freedom today!

Day 199.  I read through my intro today.  Wow!!  I've come so far.  I read my intro and it's like reading an old love letter you wrote.  I've read a lot of intros and mine seems so bland compared to some.   

A few things I noticed after reading it.  I didn't write anything that memorable or intellectual.   

What the intro did show was a addict that was fighting this addiction with determination.  It showed a person that began this journey as one person and how that person is still changing.    It showed a person that came here for one reason and is still here for that same reason.   

I'm not done with this intro yet,,  it's still got a lot of work.  I might as well stay for another 100.  I got nothing more important than this intro and quit.

One great thing about this intro!!!  One thing that really makes this intro so good to me.  The one thing that makes me happy and makes it all so worth it. The last few words on it.  The words that put a tear in my eye as I write. 

I'M STILL QUIT!!!!  199 DAYS OF FREEDOM!!!!
Fucking inspirational. Thank you Sir! I quit with you today.
You are a bada$$ brother! I am proud to be QLF with you today!
Dearest SRANS,
You my friend as you state your intro may not be full of intellectual and memorable posts that's because you were not selfish. You have poured your heart and soul out into others threads you have given to others, this is a selfless act. There are quitters here today that would not be here if it wasn't for your dedication and giving of self. That my friend speaks volumes they may not be recorded in your thread but in the threads of others. I am proud to call you my friend and mentor. QLF SRANS quit with you today brother.
+1 what traumagnet said, you do pour out yourself into other guys here like me thankyou muchly for that!  Congrats on almost 200 days!! Awesome work!! The first intro I don't think needs to be memorable or intellectual, everybody will get it most if it comes from the heart  your intro,  all your posts, always do.

I have to agree with trauma. Srans helps out so many people in here. Your comments are always spot on. Congrats a day early on the 2nd floor. Keep killin it.
X2 I am here today in a large part because of the place you took in my quit! I am glad as hell you decided to quit 199 days ago! I may still be slowly killing myself if you hadn't! Thank you!
