Good morning Cadets! The tracks have taken us to Birmingham, AL to pick upMattyf118. It’s been 100 days since Matty ended his relationship with Grizzly Long Cut Wintergreen and we are damn proud to have this quitter ride the rails with us. He’s got a bottle of Apple Pie Moonshine to share on the holiday ride and made sure to let us know he enjoys all types of inappropriate behavior. Matty’s going to hop into his 2 door black German sports car and take Mrs. Mattyf118 out on a date in celebration of hitting his HOF. When Matty’s not out fishing, he does make time for some government desk work (“Ah, ah, I almost forgot... I'm also going to need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too.”)
Our newest HOF’er told us that OIB always has the best avatars and he’s headed on the march to 200. Early in his quit, Matty was ready to breakdown but a check in text from Trauma motivated this super soldier of quit to march through the fog. Matty’s taken the brotherhood and accountability of KTC to the next level, meeting up with Dauthman several times, stating “it’s nice to know you’ve got a brother within driving distance to kick your ass!’” Congratulations Matty, you are truly earning your stripes as a first class quitter, welcome to the train!

just wanted to put this here for safe keeping.  Working on my HOF speech now, but wanted to give a sitewide thank you to everyone at KTC for giving me the strength to take my life back.

Hey man Congrats on your HOF

Congrats Matty, you made it. I remember talking with you in chat when you first started out. Remember, HOF is a great accomplishment but it is just the begining.

28 days now, four full weeks. I haven't been this long without nicotine since before I started using. I am still pounding sunflower seeds constantly and Smokey Mountain when the craves are at their worst (which, I am happy to report are becoming less and less frequent).

Got really, really angry at my boss today. Wanted to rip his head off and shit down his neck. But surprisingly, never wanted a dip to calm me down.

Turns out I'm still a sarcastic, snarky, pretentious asshole. But at least I'm a sarcastic, snarky, pretentious asshole without nicotine.

Progress is progress.

Congrats Matty! 4 weeks is some awesome work! Progress indeed.

You are doing it man. Keep reading on here. I went sunflower seed crazy for a while, then, one day, I didn't care. Haven't picked them up since. (Though, I keep them around just in case) My guess is that it is just needing to rewire your brain to realize that sticking stuff in your mouth won't give you nicotine. It can take a while, but should pass. Don't sweat it, you are marching through this.
As for being irritable and such, if that is who you are, it ain't gonna change, but I had a serious case of grouch about a month in.
Do your best to keep it away from your loved ones, and try not to get yourself fired. Other than that,
Keep on keeping on brother.

125 days quit here and I still enjoy sunflower seeds. Keep doing what works. I too found out I was an asshole on or off the nicotine- just something about me that makes me...me.

7 days good job bro!!! I know the crave bitch hits hard sometimes...fight the fight and give her the fuk'n middle finger!!!! PM me if you need anything...we'll quit together ODAAT! 'FU' 'Finger'

[T-Cell]

I just want to thank everyone for all the words of encouragement and stories in the last 24 hours.  I can't tell you how much it helps to be able to pop on and read about others struggles and difficulties, but I'm sure you already know that. 

The one thing that I have found interesting is how many of us were essentially living out the same story.  I honestly thought I was the only one who went to such great lengths to hide it form loved ones, and that I was super special for being able to hide it so well. 

Funny how that one little drug can control everything in your life to the point where you seem to value it over everything else. 

I look back now in my fog induced state, and I can't believe how stupid I was.  Glad to be quit with you all today, and thank you once again.

Great job matty. Yea,, I read through my intro not to long ago,,, It sounded like a old love letter. Stay quit brother,, you will like what's coming... Glad to be quit with you.

It truely is amazing how well we do know each other as addicts. Almost all of us went through a period where we were down about how damn stupid we were as well. Dude, it took me 38 years to decide to quit! How stupid and twisted is that?
But we all do get passed it. You can't change the past, but you damn sure can make things happen today. Focus on today, build your quit a little bigger each day...

[traumagnet]

This too shall pass. Keep it up just know you are quit for today.

[gorilla1]

Keep it up Matty. We can do this thing together.
