Hello ktc community

[mich 34]

for the second time in as many weeks, congrats to an Oct 12 madman on preview - Cindy (2mch/224) Congrats on a comma - would have loved to post a congrats on your intro but it got locked because everyone decided the shit storm was because of your intro. that's what the problem was... Sorry to see you on preview but very impressed that you hit the comma at 100% roll call, the last one standing at 100% in Oct. 12 even with having to text, email, facebook, fax or call your quit in to the rest of the madmen. You have a few of us with just a few days out of the last thousand off roll but your dedication to your quit outshines the rest of your quit siblings. Thanks for being on roll with us every day and for being there when life happens. Proud as hell to say I quit with Cindy today!

going to post here because your intro is locked: Congrats on 1000 days clean sirDerek. Thanks for all you've done in Oct. 12 and on the site. You've helped more quitters than many other people who have made their way here. I'm happy to say: I quit with you today.

Feeling a little under the weather so I got up and jumped on the laptop downstairs so my tossing and turning wouldn't wake my wife up. Got my posting and support done and ran through some intros. I love seeing some great quit vets up in the mix for hitting commas and beyond - always a reminder that the journey is just getting started. I also love reading the new intros and extending a hand here and there. Seems like most of the time it gets looked over but often enough to make it rewarding someone grabs hold and says thanks. So... as I sit here feeling shitty with crazy sinus pressure, all jacked up on Dayquil I wanted to say "thanks" to all you quitters who take time to post here. Your experience helps me, it helps me to know I'm not alone in the tough times and the good times, your raw pain and the struggle with a new quit helps me too. It acts as a reminder that I don't want to be you ever again. It allows me to feel like I'm helping someone like I was helped 614 days ago. Thank you brothers

I also feel that keeping connected here is helpful. I am only 26 days in but looking at intros from our brothers and sisters just joining us is a helpful reminder of why going back to the old ways is not an option. It is a lot of hard work in the very beginning, hard work that I never want to go through again. In the beginning, I posted in my intro almost daily but as time goes on I know I will post less. Having this as a reminder of our journey is a wonderful thing.

Couldn't agree more....too many folks to thank!

Stay involved= stay quit

Great post brother,

I hope the new guys who join take a look through this thread. Hope they see what this site can do to transform someone's thoughts about trying to stop (forgive me for pointing that out again), into investing more of ones self to be quit and to live the quit.

Let them read about those you support and who supported you. Let them see how many posts you have made let alone turning that into friendships.

proud to call you friend and family Ben.

thought I'd share my roll post for today, day 580:

mich y+1 my day started at 3am with a death call, went to the funeral home to find water pouring in, finished snowblowing my roof at 5am, 2 funerals this morning, 2 more deaths this afternoon, 3 families to meet with this afternoon with a visitation tonight for another family, embalming, removals, etc... thrown in with water filling buckets the entire time - what a day. Not once did I think about nic, never would have believed I could come this far in this short amount of time

It's something how the first few weeks feels like an eternity. Then time seems to speed up. Thanks for your words of encouragement and kicking the debris out of my way. Quit with you today.

Thanks for sharing Mich, You made my quit stronger today. Whatever the obsticals, no matter how much shit is piling up on you ( or snow in your case ) Nicotine cant fix any of that, all it can do is set you up to be next in line at the morgue, Your a great quitter. Thanks again

My hats off to you for staying the course and not using excuses.

What are you all going to do about it besides applauding and jerking off?

cs - I for one am going to switch hands.



that and keep offering support to the guys who are here for the long haul. I'm going to keep paying it forward. how about you?

1. I am going to call out addict babble when I see it here.
2. I'm going to try to help new quitters understand all the tools available to use.
3. I'm going to encourage newbies by writing in their intros and posting occasionally to mine.
4. I'm NOT going to waste my time on special butterflies or on cavers who want no accountability, except maybe to do #1 on the list...

And...Im gonna keep one eye open...because you never know, you never know.

;p

:ph43r:

I would strongly advise you not to applaud and jerk off at the same time, though it could be an alternative crave killer to slamming your nuts in the drawer. :unsure:

I believe J2ghey is describing the "Firestarter". Definitely a technique that requires hours of training....(I've been told). 'blowup' 'fireman'

'crackup'
