What a whirlwind few months. Between business and personal travel, ive been in almost 20 states in 8 weeks. Weddings. Funerals. Conferences. Meetings. Getaways with my hottie wife. Life.

Fall is here. And with it, a surprising aggressive return of whispers from nicotine. My first thought upon opening my eyes this morning... man you need to throw a dip in! That thought lingered for a few minutes until the cobwebs cleared out of my morning brain. Jumped up and posted roll. Now that stress is off my list.

Been reading a lot of new intros where guys are not posting roll. Big mistake guys. Big. The connections you make and the accountability work. Quitting is the best thing I've ever done for myself. Do it the right way, the ktc way, and it is actually life transformative. These annoying cravings will pass, and I'll still be a winner

This. We can never take out the addict but we can take away it's addiction. And it all starts with posting roll. Michael, approaching 4 years of quit, has never missed a day and is one of the finest quitters to grace these pages. If you want to win - quit like this guy. I do.
She is always searching for a weak point, isn't she Michael. One of those is before we post our promise for the day. And that makes all the difference. Keep winning brother. CJ
It's amazing after that long the whispers are there. Posting that morning promise is crucial. Way to lead by example. Accountability and honoring your word!!!

"Fuck nicotine dude. You don't need it. And you don't want it. It didn't do a thing for you and you know it." - worktowin
"today you dissided that shit wont control your life. and it wont. unless you let it." - drome
"Not thinking about nicotine is for people who've never used nicotine. We threw that option away with the first dip or drag on a cigarette. We are addicts, and cannot become un-addicted." - wildirish317
"You need to decide how much you really want to be quit." - pky1520
We are always at risk. And probably always will be. That is why I will never get "too quit" to post my +1. Every. Damn. Day. - geis2597

Michael -these remarks are quite moving and I know that the family and friends present for Todd's funeral will be touched. And perhaps his life story and your description of us will help spark at least one more person to join the quit and free themselves from slavery, and potentially a premature death. You are indeed a true friend to travel so far to pay respects. Peace, strength and safety in your travels.
Thanks Michael for all that you've done for all of us and I'm sure will continue to do. Thanks for representing Ktc in which I'm very honored to be a part of. Be safe my friend, you truly are a good friend, maybe just maybe at least one person will be touched enough from your eulogy to Todd that they will dump that shit on the ground in honor of him.

Awesome tribute Worktowin. Very well done.
You're a great man. I'm sorry for your loss.
Thanks again Michael for being there.....I was thinking of you all morning, sending some strength to help you through it. Proud of you. QLF
You are a true rock of quit and a great friend to many. Thank you for sharing this, and for the courage and commitment to deliver it.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021
