Worktowin's road to winning

[KC_Guy]

Day 322. My 42nd birthday.

1986 was the last time I had a birthday cake without nicotine in my system. Well, until today!  Chernobyl melted down that year. Microsoft started selling stock. Geraldo wasted all of our time trying to break into Al Capones tomb. The space shuttle exploded. And lady gaga was born. I cannot believe I chewed that long. Just cannot believe it.

Last night I decided to clean out my old shoes. While sorting them out, I picked up my pair of funeral/interview shoes. I haven't needed to wear those in a long time. They are uncomfortable and dorky. You probably have a pair, right?  Well, three little gifts slid out of those sweaty uncomfortable  shoes. Three new cans of kodiak.

I sat there stunned. How sad had my life been that I hid plant in my sweaty shoes?  Pathetic. I opened the cans and flushed them. God that stuff smells terrible!  I hadn't faced the enemy like that in almost a year. How did I shove that in my face for that long?  I spent $40,000 on it?  Got angry then, and shoved the cans back in those shoes and threw them out. Never liked those shoes anyway. Seemed like a good coffin for those cans too.

Happy birthday ktc. Thank you for giving me a birthday where I am no longer a slave. Thanks to all of you that have gotten me to a much better place in life. The support system on this site is the real deal. This has been an interesting week on this site, but I trust the admins completely. Their decision 7 years ago built this house of quit, and their decisions since have maintained it. We all owe them a world of gratitude today.

Happy Birthday brother

Happy Birthday Brother. It's crazy to think about the things we used to do while dipping. I'm proud to be quit with you. QLF with worktowin every day.

Day 300

I don't even know where to start. 300 days ago my life was honestly a mess. I had the same great wife, same great job, same nice house and stuff, but I was miserable. My health was in shambles, and I was controlled by a powerful opponent. I made a lot of lifestyle changes on Christmas Eve. A lot. But compared to the battle against nicotine, they were all a cakewalk. I had no idea how much control nicotine had over me. The first 50 days were miserable. The next 50 were a fight, but not miserable. The next 50 were sort of a downer after hof. My April 2013 group shrank after hof and it was kind of a rough time to navigate as you watch people you have fought a battle with leave. And then... Nirvana!

One day it just all came together. I feel amazing, and today I am incredibly humbled. Without each of you, I would not be where I am today. Life is so much better than I ever imagined. So good, that about 30 minutes ago I finally told my wife the extent of my addiction. We both sat on the couch and tears were running down both of our faces. She was shocked, and disappointed. I don't blame her - I would be too. But she is also happy and proud of me. And she started connecting a lot of dots.... That's why you used to take so many showers. That's why you bought gas at 1030. That's why I could never touch your suitcase....

It was time. And so today, a new milestone has been achieved. True freedom.

I owe each of you a depth of gratitude.  I am a pretty confident (arrogant) guy. But this I could not do alone.  300 is just the beginning, but right now I have a sense of freedom that I  can truly say I have never felt before. Thank you.

Well done buddy. I have been very glad to have you along for the ride.

I agree with you 100%, life is so much better without the poison. I realize now that it was never a crutch, just an anchor. It was always just an anchor.

Proud to be quit with you Worktowin, never again for any reason.

way to go work to win! You are an inspiration to many. you have a legendary quit, bro! keep it locked in odaat. your friend, phil.

It's easy to stay quit with bad asses like w2w leading the way. Well done sir.

Yes it is. Much easier with leaders like W2W. I didn't post support in your thread but I'd better here too, so a belated congrats on 300!!
