365 days? Is this for real?

365 days ago I ran out of kodiak. 10 days or so earlier my dr more or less said adios to me. Every test result was a disaster. So, 365 +10 days ago I set out to change my life. Diet and exercise were no problem. But for 10 more days I carefully rationed out my kodiak. My "friend". I measured it out like I'm sure a heroin addict would.

One year later... I cannot thank this site or it's members enough. I an finally free. Tonight I went to a work party and watched people drink and smoke, and I felt sorry for then. I saw people chew and I felt pity. But for me I felt pride. And a sense of responsibility. Tonight I was offered cigars and e cigs. But, i gave my word earlier that no nicotine would hit this body today. So saying no was easy.

I cannot thank each of you enough. I really cannot. 365 days ago I was a wreck. I was a shell. Miserable. A slave. This site and each of you saved me. I am humbled and honored. 1 year is just the start. I'm am an addict. But one day at a time I give my word to myself and each of you. That Kodiak bear can kiss my ass. Cause he sure as shit won't get anymore from me. Fuck you nicotine. I'll post 366 tomorrow. You'll need to find a different target!

Congrats on one year. I hope we can do another together.

Hope? I thought hope was a fat hippopotamus? Just kidding Nick.

But really, there is no "hope", and there is no "try". And I know that you both know this. Of course we will all do another year together.

Congrats to both of you on one year. It really is an excellent start.

One day at a time we shall climb our way to another year, but don't forget, that task starts tomorrow, and we can only get there by doing what got us here, posting up a solid run of plus ones.
