Congrats on the 200 Smeds. You've always been there for me since I first posted roll on day 40 and I thank you. So here's to many more milestones.

Nice job Smeds on reaching the 2nd floor. To me there was no doubt because you drink Kool-Aid all day long. Then you serve the Kool-Aid all day long. Any newbs reading this needs to take notes, read up and emulate this quitter.

Smeds, it gets much better brother, just wait and see!

I'm adding this here too ... after a 170+ day brother caved today (after leaning on me earlier in the week), I finally took a long, hard look at how I felt. I want to share it with any who care, who may gain insight, or who'll think I'm full of shit. Mostly, I'm putting it here because I may need to read it repeatedly as our quits progress ... or fail to:

I'll be honest here, this one stung. They all sting, but this one had a hornet's quality to it. I'll make a promise to each and every one of you. I will continue to pour my heart into supporting you and your quit. We are in this battle together, and I'll fight with you step for step. But if at this point in our battle you disregard all of your tools, ignore all of the talks, the PM's, the phone calls ... blow off all of the texts and cave? Fuck you. I will NOT support you on round two, because the ability to trust in you is out the window. We are bonded by this addiction, the power of accountability, the brotherhood shared here ... if you shit on all that I guarantee I won't tolerate it. Personally I can tell each and every one of you that you will not see me cave. I have slammed that door shut. To leave it open a crack with any excuse is total bullshit to me. Maybe it's because I'm a stubborn fucker, I don't know. I like to think it's because I believe in integrity. When I say something ... I mean it. I am too fucking strong in my stance against this poison to allow it back in my life, in any form. Along with all of this is a consequence. I will not support your weakness if you cave. Why would I? Why would you? Who is empowered by that? What new quitter wants to know there is a reset button? This shit is life and death ... it's been repeated often enough that you should feel it in your bones. The road to quit is littered with the bodies of the weak. This site has never hidden the fact that it is extreme in nature. I believe we all embraced that when we registered and wandered around for a bit. Those who don't believe in the extreme have NOT wandered the halls here, because if you had you'll know exactly what I talk of. If you want to know that I have your back regardless of your actions, then I'm not your man. I expect something from each and every one of you. I expect you to be a man of honor, and integrity. What more do we have but our word, our promise each day? A man, without his word, is nothing. You've no doubt heard this expression before. What does this mean to you, personally? Do you think about the commitment you've made by signing up with KTC? When you give your word, the other person(s) must be able to assume it's a done deal; it should be money in the bank, a promise with value. When you fail to follow through, your word now has no value. Do not expect me to lower my values down because you have. I flat out refuse to do that. And I suggest you don't get upset with others who feel the exact same way. They only react harshly because they see degradation in the value of a promise ... and that, my brothers ... that fucking sucks.

Great great post. Thank you Smeds. Thank you.

Aewsome words Smeds! I'll quit with yoy EVERYDAY! Only the strong and committed survive. I believe you are strong!

Smeds, how many days? How are you feeling?

[Doc Chewfree]

Smedsy, I just want to thank you for everything that you do here. You are the epitome of a quitter and a vital part of this community. For anyone that has found KTC and is considering crushing this addiction, it is not easy but it sure is damn worth it. This guy will bend over backwards for you. He listens, he holds you accountable and he gets it!

Here, here! Bumping this because it is fucking awesome!
