Super quit in this here thread!
What's that prolific smell in here?????? Oh..... That's the smell of quit!!! This guys knows what brotherhood is!!
Yes he does  so do you.
Question: Since you are endorsed by the best fighters and quitters...


What has been your secret of quit? I'm sure you suffered. How did you stay quit and succeed?
This is the toughest, and best, thing I've ever done for myself.

Almost 2 years ago I quit. Alone. After 25 years I survived for 16 days alone. Hopeless. Almost suicidal to be honest. Depressed beyond belief. Woke up shaking sweating and crying, and then I found this place. I had to hit bottom in order to climb out of the hole I was in.

Posted some bs in this intro about my good friend the Kodiak bear and was quickly schooled. Got pissed. Anger was my friend for a while. I really don't recall much of my 1st hundred days other than my April group was all insane (they all are at first I now know) and sportsfan checked on me constantly, and ig2h and I both fought thru some suck days together. I couldn't wait for hall of fame. It came. It went. I posted roll every day. And I kept my word.

The group shrank dramatically. The suck was still there. Wtf? I thought... Man this has to get better! So I reached out to a quitter newer than me. And then another. Month by month I added 2 or 3 quitters. Kept in close contact with them. I've met quitters from both coasts. And of course the Midwest. I work with a contact from this site every day. A quitter from Canada spent 4 days with my wife and Me 3 months ago. This is important... Because, I am an addict. If it were not for all of you I honestly believe I'd cave. But each day I give you my word and I keep it.

Yeah, I'm an addict. On that front, im kinda proud. It is a personality trait in my opinion. The quitters that I've met on this site are high performers. All in on everything we do. When we're work, we work to win. When we vacation - we party like rock stars. All in. Unfortunately nicotine was all on for me too. But I now know that I have a team of honorable men and women in my corner not only cheering me on but counting on me. I cannot let these people that I've talked with on the phone, shared drinks with in detroit, bragged about the royals with at work, gone to the bacon festival with, had breakfast with in Connecticut...down. No fucking way! No happening on my watch. Not today. I gave my word.

So, MT... I am an addict. And I'm proud to admit it. Because it is who I am, and I am now an addict who can look you in the eye, give my word, and keep it.

To all of you that have supported me or given me the pleasure of being a part of your life, I cannot thank you enough. These have been the 2 best years of my life. More greatness ahead!
Great stuff here! Brotherhood + accountability = success. Thanks for being the man that you are... The quitter that you are.... The friend that you are. I am quit with you EDD! Go Royals!
W2W is the definition of the perfect KTC leader and quitter! Proud to be this guys friend! His word is worth the bet of all that you own!
Michael, you are one of my favorite people..
Don't quit being you serve it up hot to the rookies and be the voice of reason QUIT with you today!!!!
Glad you are winning Michael. Don't stop working or the game is over. Worktowin brother. Work to win.
Work to win indeed. Glad to have you in my corner bro!

I couldn't wait for hall of fame. It came. It went. I posted roll every day. And I kept my word.

The group shrank dramatically. The suck was still there. Wtf? I thought... Man this has to get better! So I reached out to a quitter newer than me. And then another. Month by month I added 2 or 3 quitters. Kept in close contact with them. I've met quitters from both coasts. And of course the Midwest. I work with a contact from this site every day. A quitter from Canada spent 4 days with my wife and Me 3 months ago. This is important... Because, I am an addict. If it were not for all of you I honestly believe I'd cave. But each day I give you my word and I keep it.

Yeah, I'm an addict. On that front, im kinda proud. It is a personality trait in my opinion. The quitters that I've met on this site are high performers. All in on everything we do. When we're work, we work to win. When we vacation - we party like rock stars. All in. Unfortunately nicotine was all on for me too. But I now know that I have a team of honorable men and women in my corner not only cheering me on but counting on me. I cannot let these people that I've talked with on the phone, shared drinks with in detroit, bragged about the royals with at work, gone to the bacon festival with, had breakfast with in Connecticut...down. No fucking way! No happening on my watch. Not today. I gave my word.

So, MT... I am an addict. And I'm proud to admit it. Because it is who I am, and I am now an addict who can look you in the eye, give my word, and keep it.

To all of you that have supported me or given me the pleasure of being a part of your life, I cannot thank you enough. These have been the 2 best years of my life. More greatness ahead!

Yes he does  so do you.
Question: Since you are endorsed by the best fighters and quitters...


What has been your secret of quit? I'm sure you suffered. How did you stay quit and succeed?
This is the toughest, and best, thing I've ever done for myself.

Almost 2 years ago I quit. Alone. After 25 years I survived for 16 days alone. Hopeless. Almost suicidal to be honest. Depressed beyond belief. Woke up shaking sweating and crying, and then I found this place. I had to hit bottom in order to climb out of the hole I was in.

Posted some bs in this intro about my good friend the Kodiak bear and was quickly schooled. Got pissed. Anger was my friend for a while. I really don't recall much of my 1st hundred days other than my April group was all insane (they all are at first I now know) and sportsfan checked on me constantly, and ig2h and I both fought thru some suck days together. I couldn't wait for hall of fame. It came. It went. I posted roll every day. And I kept my word.
