Sitting here waiting on #3. Eviction is being served, here is hoping it's quicker then the other two.

Can't wait to meet this little stubborn ball of joy.
Good luck, man. I'll say a prayer for momma and baby.
What G said, plus dad. Look forward to an update!

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

Ramblings and maybe some ranting.

on 1/23/11, I posted roll for the first time. Never in a million years did I thing I would be repeating that action almost 4 years later. Now, as the 4 year anniversary of that life saving action approaches, I have so much to be thankful for. First, there is an outside chance baby boy #3 could be born on my quit date. Doc has the due date at 1/25, but man. I cant think of a better symbol of my quit and the great things that have come from it then holding my newborn infant on my 4 year anniversary. Anyway, taking this one day at a time has worked for 1447 days so I wont start the long view just yet, but damn that would be something special.

As I look around the site day to day, I see so much quitting and brotherhood growing and building it makes me so damn glad I found this place. I love my May 11 3balled brothers, and while random chance through us together a common addiction and desire to break those chains is what bonded us. There are not as many of us left posting daily as I would have liked, but the 10 of us who are here (30yr, Larry Drummer, Mitchel10, retreadmajor, HKS, ninereasons, magnum9, ODAAT, Junkman) - man thats a lot of quit. We all appreciate the daily support from all the honorary 3ballers and love paying it forward with 3BiTs. Hard to explain how much satisfaction comes from seeing another person fight there way to freedom and knowing you had even a small hand in it. 'Finger' nic bitch, from all of us on the shortbus.

Like any family (brothers especially, I have 2 and man...) there are fights, arguments, storming out, punches, etc. It happens. Hell, my 5 and 3 year old get into it daily and then are playing hot wheels and lego's 5 minutes later. I fully expect #3 to be in the mix as soon as he can make a fist. The key here is remembering that above all else, the enemy is nicotine. At all cost, we must protect the brotherhood and accountability methods that have helped so many get past day 1, day 3, day 100, and day 1000. Even if it means an unpopular decision, action, or whatever else. KTC is not for everybody, and its not the only quitting site on the net. It is the only thing that has ever helped me quit. I owe it my life, and will do whatever I must to repay that debt.

Anyway, anybody got any tips for managing 3 kids with 2 hands? 'help'

Option 1

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

Especially with the trouble the site has been having, the level of brotherhood and accountability this site brings is evident more and more.

Forum down? Post on the blog (or fb, twitter, etc), and then text your brothers and let them know. So many texts today from so many brothers in quit, all promising the same thing.

Love this place. Love knowing that it's more than just a forum. It's a family.
^^^^ homie posted roll for me after a text I sent early afternoon. Brotherhood at it's best.

Today my father would have turned 60. COPD and Emphysema from years of smoking and construction work took him away from us February 17, 2013.

Fuck you Nic bitch. As god as my witness the cycle died with him. I helped kill it 1353 days ago.
BAD. ASS.

Congrats.
Sweet freedom! Way to break the cycle. Tobacco has claimed many in my families history as well. Congrats on what you have accomplished.
The truth will set you free!
Nice job, J2B!
I'll hold the bitch while you continue to beat her.
Hate to still Keddy's line but way to break the chains! Reading about your dad reminded me of a story about mine that also died due to tobacco use. He was in a wheelchair in a nursing home the last few years and continued to smoke. He'd wheel himself to a patio in the back and light a smoke. If he got interrupted and had to go back in, he'd put it out and save the half a cig to finish later. Came to visit him one day and he had a big scab behind his ear. Asked him what the heck and he says, "didn't put it out good enough".
Breaking the cycle is a very good thing. Proud to quit with you today J2B.
