Quote from: worktowin
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!

Congrats Michael. You are a rock of quit and have become a beacon on this site. There are now more people posting in our group with you, than actual group members. It has been a great ride. I am glad that we had a chance to meet in person this summer. Meeting quitters in person definitely adds a whole other layer of accountability. Lets keep this train rolling.

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