Day 800

100 days since my last add to my Intro. Thought I would dig it up.

Ironically, this milestone falls on my best friend, LTC Todd Clark's birthday. He was KIA on June 8, 2013. Todd actually introduced me to Copenhagen back in 1990 that started me on my 21 years of use. Unfortunately I was never able to convince him to quit. I always gave him shit about starting me on that nasty ass addiction. Nonetheless, other than teaching me how to chew the poison, he was a friend like no other. I miss him. Bitter sweet day.

Quit on, friends.

AG

Sorry to hear your best friend was KIA. Though he mightn't have ever been convinced to quit himself, I can think of no better way to honor his memory than you keeping up your quit for 800 days!! :o That's awesome bro!

DAY 700

Life is freaking insane...and cruel.� Between March and June of this year I lost unexpectedly and buried both my dad and best friend.� To be honest, I keep thinking that I'm going to run out of tears but they still seem to find a way to appear.

While the loss has been great and often unbearable, I have been able to hold on to my quit and it is just as strong as ever.�

I often boast that the last time I had a real "crave" was around Day 110.� However, Saturday before last I was dealing with and consoling my mom because it would had been her and my dad's 53rd Wedding Anniversary...Sunday was Father's Day...Sunday night I flew to Albany for a few days for funeral services for my friend.� Around this time I actually had one of those fleeting thoughts - literally a thought like, "I'll be having a chew in the car when I get away from the wife and kids."� WOW, when I had that I was shocked.� To be honest, I know in my heart and soul I would have never acted on it but just the fact that it crossed my mind blew me away.� I guess I was at my fill of just shit.� Undoubtedly, the support here and my daily promises have taken it off the table.�

Proud to be at 700 today and 100% posting.�

Thanks folks.

Many of us will have to face the loss you experienced - maybe not today but soon.

Thanks for providing an example of staying the course through hardship.

Every damn day!

Proud to be quit with you Ag. Congrats on 700.

I feel for you Paul. May God bless their souls.
Congratulations on another powerful milestone in your quit.

So sorry for your loss, may God keep you and yours close during this time. I guess we are always addicts, proud of your resolve even with a full tank of shit to deal with. True man right fellas, this is the epitome of KTC.

PRAYERS TO YOU AND YOUR FRINDS FAMILY AG. MUCH RESPECT

[Ready]

God speed LTC Clark.

Semper Fi.

Hang in there AG.

Freedom.

[Dlee3]

As a widower, I'm as sorry as I can be for his wife and kids (and you, of course,) but I have to put one little bright spot on this. That news clip was one heck of a tribute and a fabulous use of news media. His family will watch that for years and, at some point, they will smile while watching it. You will, too. My condolences.

[Sage]

He sounds like an amazing man, Ag. So sorry for this loss. Will be praying for his family and yours.
