1,500 days. This number seems, and looks, absolutely unreal. I still remember how horrible the beginning days were. The feels of hopelessness. Pain. Depression. Isolation. Utter misery. Feeling like it would never get better.

Well, it does. I haven't had a craving in I don't know when. Im a very independent person, but this is not a fight I could do alone. I thank each of you for getting me to a place where winning is now easy, after about 25 years of daily losing. I haven't missed posting roll a single day, and I won't. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me give myself this freedom.
"I haven't missed posting roll a single day, and I won't"
This.

Despite the ease in winning that w2w has achieved, make no mistake, this man's pedal is to the floor. Maximum quit every day
Post roll every day + honor your word + participate + be accountable = 1500 days quit I think his formula works.

Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.

4 years

Life is full of ups and downs. 4 years ago tomorrow I was emotional about losing my best friend, thebkodiak bear. That bear ride along with me on every car trip,,every business trip, and dulled the bumps that life brings to us in both good and bad ways.

This past year has been life on steroids. 3 out of town weddings (including our first gay wedding - much better food and decorations). Great quit meet in Vegas writhing trauma sage and mike from ab. Traumas funeral. And tomorrow, on my 4th anniversary, my dear mom is getting her entire leg amputated courtesy of cancer.

We all have these bumps. Some are worse than others. Some are better than other. But nicotine filled all of them. Not once in he past several months of high highs and low lows has nicotine crossed my mind. And it won't. Thanks to ktc and each of you. Cold turkey is the only way to be. See you tomorrow
Thanks for inspiring and leading W2W. Congrats on your 4 years!

Prayers for your family and best wishes for your Mother.
Congrats on 4 years Michael! You pulled me out of the ditch several times on this journey and I look forward to seeing you post 4 years plus 1. Quit with you EDD.
Lets hug it out bud. 4 year congrats, support for you on the home front, and your first gay wedding...all deserving of a hug. You the man Michael, and you know where to find me should you need a friend to lean on.
Way to be Michael. 4 years is inspirational. Thank you for all you do for all of us. Love you bro! Peace and strength to you and your Mom.
Thank you.
Huge thank you for still being here and supporting so many.
Congrats on your 4 years quit!
What a day today must be. Such a great accomplishment accompanied by such hard circumstances. Your character is shining through. Shows that you are a giver and supporter and put others before your self. You are a rock Brotha. In many lives. You continue to set an example for others to follow. We continue to pray for your mother and your family. And also to say congratulations for 4 years of awesome Quit. What an accomplishment. Congrats and also thank you Micheal.
Proud to quit with you Michael and I'm very thankful that you responded to my intro thread a few minutes after I posted it. 4 years is amazing, but then again all it takes is one day at a time and not being afraid to ask for help. :)

I'm praying for your mother my friend and I can't wait to post roll with you tomorrow!
Damn Michael I don't know what to say. Other than I'm proud to have you on my team in this thing. Prayers for you and your family and Merry Christmas brother, I mean that.
