Day 632

My dad was a great man. A quiet leader, and a math genius. He was a high school math teacher in a small town and was admired by everyone. An all american guy that seemed to have his act together in every way. Except for his nicotine addiction. That addiction was a big part of his life. I remember the ceiling over his chair being stained yellow until mom made him smoke only in the garage. He exercised less as the years stacked up. Eating habits faded. But mosty the nicotine wore on him. Blood pressure went up. Cholesterol up. He looked perfectly fine. 25 years ago today, at the age of 52, nicotine claimed him as a victim. And my addiction, at age 17, was just beginning to blossom at that point.

Thank you ktc for making it possible for me to not follow in his footsteps. We all have a lot to be thankful for today.
Amen, great post.
I quit with you today w2w.
Glad to quit with you today.
Quit with you w2w

Day 600. I'm really humbled today. And really grateful, to this site and to all of you that have supported me or given me the honor to quit with you along the way. Finding this site on day 16 (the lowest point of my life) was a miracle. I hated guys posting numbers like this early on. One day at a time, today I am stunned to be posting a number like this... time flies when you are having fun! Life went from hell, to livable, to OK, to good, to great. I heard it from vets over and over and over and I, like everyone else, just didn't believe them. Well, I do now.

KTC and each of you, played a part in saving my life - but more than that, you made my life worth living again. I don't really know how to adequately convey that message, so I'll just say "thank you."

Post roll, honor word. Its worked for me when not one other thing did for 25 years, so I won't be changing that formula. Time to go and look for some new quitters to help out!

Thank you KTC!
Damn fine work brother. Be seeing you soon!

Badass quitter!!! Congrats!
Congrats on 600 w2w - You are another one of those few that Old ES would name a "Captain" of his team. Proud to quit with you each and every day.
Nice 6 Hundo!!!! Keep er going!!!
Congrats W2W. I see you everyday, often just one post ahead of me posting support for others in their quit. Awesome job!
You are a big time quitter w2w! Keep doing what you do brother. You are one of the reasons that KTC works, and why it is so awesome. I QLF with you EDD!
Congratulations Brother! Thanks for being here.
You have been my guiding light for 400 days now and for that I thank you. Many quitters can learn from this man, post roll, honor your word and support others.
Pinched hit it right on the head! Do those 3 things and our freedom is guaranteed! You do those everyday Michael and for that we are ALL grateful!
