10 years ago today I decided to quit for the millionth time. I struggled for 16 days in a haze of confusion and fog before I found this miracle online.

The past 10 years have been the best, and the worst, of my life. Through it all I’ve posted every day and made friends of integrity that mean the world to me and that I will not fail or betray.

God bless each of you, thank you for the support, and Merry Christmas to you all

Congrats brother!  I'm proud to quit with you today and can't wait to quit again tomorrow!   

Cheers brother. Who's this imposter that confused me???

Wax on.  Wax off.  Mask on.  Mask off.  The world is a crazy, confusing place these days.

Quitting is easy these days.  I miss the days when the intros were full of new topics and messed up new quitters, but it is the times we live in.

Tomorrow I'm beginning a leave of absence from my job to go down and take care of my brother in his last days.  The tongue cancer spread was as aggressive as we feared, and the fight was not successful.  This has been an emotional roller coaster for me.  Steven is my best friend, and I've known him longer than I've known anyone on earth.  Kind, giving, caring, intelligent beyond belief.  Such a waste at 56 to lose him.  But I'm so thankful that I've taken the steps to prevent this from happening to me, and I'm so thankful that he's been in my life.

Life is a roller coaster, and the past couple of years have sure been full of wild rides.  Quitting nicotine, joining this site, making friends, posting daily.... all the best decisions I've ever made.

Appreciate your thoughts and prayers over the coming days.  And, as always, I'm honored to quit with every one of you.

Prayers coming your way my friend, all the hard work you have put in this site has allowed more than just yourself not succumb to a similar fate.  For that we are all truly thankful... prayers for Steven on his next journey.  Love ya bro!!!

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember you have a family here if you need a shoulder to lean on.

Prayers for you and your family. We're all here for you if you need us, man.

I'm glad he's got a brother like you...I'm glad you're my brother too.

Day 3,159.


I'm so thankful and honored to be a part of this elite group.  Right now, as the world continues to go through waves of "fucked up beyond absolutely all belief" on a daily basis - sooooooooo many people are feeding their addictions at an escalating rate - and I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to enjoy freedom.

Since March:

I moved my mom from assisted living to the care center.  I put her on hospice.  30 days later I said goodbye to her for the last time on this earth.  For a month before and up to the end, the covid-madness took a brief reprieve, and we were able to visit her in person like we used to do.  My brother and I were blessed to be at her side when she left us.

My brother finished his treatment plans for oral cancer and was given preliminary good results.  My mom knew that before she passed away.

Wife and I went to LV for a week and were able to do so again between waves of shutdown/masking/etc, and feel like a normal getaway.  Met Traumagnet's wife and her new friend to celebrate her 50th birthday while we were there.

Traumagnet left us 5 years ago this week.

Last week, my brother got news that his oral cancer has spread, rapidly and aggressively, throughout his large bones.  Pelvis, collarbone, spine, femurs, etc.  The prognosis is grim, and we all know it.  This guy never chewed a minute in his life and is the kindest, most gentle and caring person I know.  He is an Episcopalian priest who has given his life to help others. 

It would be easy to make excuses and cave, like I always did in the past.  To say....  you know what, Steven never chewed and he still got cancer.  Its gonna get me one way or another, so why not?  But thanks to you guys, that's not an option.

This is not a great time for many of us.  Life isn't always fair.  This message isn't uplifting or cheery, but it is my reality right now.  Times will change, but good times or bad - I'm here for the long haul.

Thanks for your continued support.  God Bless all of you on this journey.

Proud to quit with you today @worktowin . You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers for your brother, you and your family.  Proud as hell to quit with you EDD!!!

Prayers for you and your family.  Keep the faith!
PTQWYT!

With you my friend and you are in our prayers. One of the most difficult parts of being a christian is just excepting what is given to us. The Lord will heal us wether its here on earth or in heaven. We are all in his hands and we have an awesome Father for sure. Keep blogging it out, we are here for ya.

I don't have the words for what you are going through but hang in there sir. I believe in miracles and I will pray for your brother.

[Athan]

Hurts to know you’re hurting brother. If he’s but half the man you are he must be quite a man. Standing by to return the support you’ve shown me these past three years.
