The weather has been shitty as hell here in Minnesota this month - cloudly, dark and just downright gloomy 95% of the time. Having been born and raised here, I never remember it bothering me before. But this year, I find myself in the mid-floor slump between 500 and 600 without having seen the sun in a couple weeks and I needed a little motivation.

So I read through my entire intro here. It's incredible the transformation that has occurred since I took the plunge 572 days ago. I committed from Day 1 but didn't believe I could do it. But now I kick nicotine's ass every single day and enjoy doing it. I revel in the freedom of living each day without tobacco. And I truly find joy in helping others achieve the freedom they did not think was possible either.

So just a random post to say 'thank you' to KTC and all you folks who support me in this journey. I am proud to be quit with you all today! Cheers!

To the new quitter lurking around wondering what you are getting yourself into, take a few moments and keep reading.

Today marks my 500th day of freedom from a dead, poisonous plant. When I stop and think about it, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I could live a life free from nicotine. Go read my HOF speech; I was to a point where I almost gave up, resolved to die a premature, tobacco related death. But then by the grace of God I found KTC and started to create a new life free from nicotine and dip.

I am an addict. I will be for life. Once I accepted this fact, I was able to realize I could never again have "just one". I developed a hatred for nicotine/tobacco and all the lies associated with dipping. It stole my freedom, my money, my health and injured my relationships. Never again would I embrace something that was literally killing me.

The last 500 days have not been a walk in the park. There are been family deaths, the birth of our first child, two softball seasons, a job change and countless other events. But it was all faced with a clear mind and without a cat turd in my lip. My brothers and sisters of quit here on KTC have been there for support and encouragement along the way. Some of the folks on here have become solid friends and I have yet to meet them face to face. But we have walked side by side, noses to the grindstone and come out victorious one day at a time. We share the struggles and rejoice in the victories. I am so proud of how far I have come but a majority of the credit must go to the brotherhood of KTC and the power of accountability.

500 days quit = 500 daily promises not to use nicotine. Post every damn day and let tomorrow take care of itself. Share digits and help encourage others! Trust me, your quit will be strengthened by helping and supporting fellow quitters.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey especially my fellow August 2016 Trauma-tizers and those that post support in our group daily! I am proud to be fighting this battle alongside of you and even more proud to be quit with you all today!! QLAMF ODAAT!!
Well said, see you tomorrow!
Congrats on your half dangle MnX!  Proud to have been there step by step with you!

FROM THUMBLEWORT:

Quote from: MNxEngineer314
To the new quitter lurking around wondering what you are getting yourself into, take a few moments and keep reading.

Today marks my 500th day of freedom from a dead, poisonous plant. When I stop and think about it, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I could live a life free from nicotine. Go read my HOF speech; I was to a point where I almost gave up, resolved to die a premature, tobacco related death. But then by the grace of God I found KTC and started to create a new life free from nicotine and dip.

I am an addict. I will be for life. Once I accepted this fact, I was able to realize I could never again have "just one". I developed a hatred for nicotine/tobacco and all the lies associated with dipping. It stole my freedom, my money, my health and injured my relationships. Never again would I embrace something that was literally killing me.

The last 500 days have not been a walk in the park. There are been family deaths, the birth of our first child, two softball seasons, a job change and countless other events. But it was all faced with a clear mind and without a cat turd in my lip. My brothers and sisters of quit here on KTC have been there for support and encouragement along the way. Some of the folks on here have become solid friends and I have yet to meet them face to face. But we have walked side by side, noses to the grindstone and come out victorious one day at a time. We share the struggles and rejoice in the victories. I am so proud of how far I have come but a majority of the credit must go to the brotherhood of KTC and the power of accountability.

500 days quit = 500 daily promises not to use nicotine. Post every damn day and let tomorrow take care of itself. Share digits and help encourage others! Trust me, your quit will be strengthened by helping and supporting fellow quitters.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey especially my fellow August 2016 Trauma-tizers and those that post support in our group daily! I am proud to be fighting this battle alongside of you and even more proud to be quit with you all today!! QLAMF ODAAT!!
Well said, see you tomorrow!

MNx, congrats on your 1 year quit. Great quit, thanks for paying it forward.
Seems like only yesterday you and I were talking about you quitting and not waiting.  Great job brother!!!  Keep up the quit!!
Congratulations on the trip around the sun! Badass
Keep being a BAQ. Proud to quit with you everyday.
Thank you for spending the last year saving yourself and others each day.  
Hey everyone!! Thank you so much for the support and encouragement!! Richard - it does seem like yesterday you wrote in my intro something to the extent of "why wait until next week; start today!". My quit is a testament to this site and the process here at KTC. When I stop to think about it, I start to laugh at how simple it really is:

1.) Post early every single focking day. NO EXCEPTIONS.
2.) Keep your word for the next 24 hours.
3.) Exchange digits and use them daily!
4.) Let tomorrow take care of itself.

I am beyond blessed with the support from you all. Often times at the end of the day, I will go into August 16 and just look at the support post section and see the huge list of BAQ's quitting "with MNx". It makes me misty eyed to think how I have impacted these people (you all!) and how this accountability network has transformed (and most likely) saved my life.

Thank you all again for your support over the past year. I am proud to be quitting with each of you EVERY DAMN DAY!
