Big congrats to Derk for reaching the 3rd floor. He's 2 floors above me but we quit together the same no matter what the view.
300 days of freedom. 300 days of honor. You pay it forward and backward every day, one day at a time. Thanks for all of the encouragement you have given to me and many others. You are a bad ass, and today you should be damn proud.
Nice work Derk. Welcome to the 3rd floor. Thank you for inspiring others to stay quit.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

250 days quit.  I really appreciate all the kind words from everybody.  It really means a lot.

The other day I was talking with Mrs. Derk about someone we know that is dealing with their husband that is addicted to drugs and booze.  This guys driving kids while loaded and doing all sorts of unsafe stuff.  She did not understand why this guy could not quit.  I let her talk then at the end of the talk I looked her in the eye and told her that I totally get it.  That was me... I am an addict and I get it.  I then went on to tell her that if I had not found KTC I would still be using Copenhagen like a dumba$$.  I was sure of it. She said she just has a hard time understanding the addict mind.

I would not be quit today if it was not for KTC and all the bada$$ quitters putting it on the line today to stay quit.  Without all you, I would still be one of those helpless slaves dying for my next fix.   No f-in thanks!  This place works because we understand each other and we support each other. 

I am proud to be quit with you today.  QLF ODAAT!  See you tomorrow at roll.
This is one of the best and most insightful posts ive read on here in a long time Derk. Well done on 250 - it's been quite a ride, but so worth it.
Nice Derk! You should know that there's alot of us quitters that feel the same about you. You are an outstanding asset to this community!
'clap' Nice job brother. It's funny what a clean mind can process through! What's not so funny is that some of us have waited so long to realize that. Nicotine sucks IN EVERY WAY!
