Day 600-

No real words of wisdom here, just wanted to update.

Been a hell of a ride (many more to come, ODAAT)

Complacency has been my biggest foe. The wagins have lost more brothers, most likely due to complacency.

I am sorry to those that I have posted support for in the past and those that post with me, yet for a while I have not posted with anyone but the Wagins. Still post every day and plan on doing so into the future as well. Hopefully I will get back on track to reciprocate the support.

Once again I would like to thank the vets and all of the new quitters. Each one of you deepen my resolve to stay quit.

Thank you for saving my life again today. See you in the morning.
600 days is so great! Congrats. There were a lot of hidden words of wisdom in that post. Thank You.

Just got back from the wave pool (yes we can go swimming here already!). Opening day today was awesome. Only swam for 4 hours or so but the kids had a blast and I had a lot fun as well. Had a picnic at the park afterwards, nothing fancy sandwiches and chips but the kids loved that as well. Both boys fell asleep for the ride home, but I stopped and bought them ice cream anyways.

Just wanted to post this up and tell you guys thank you. Today was an awesome day on it's own but it is even better because I did it clean. Being here made that happen. This is why I still come here and post my +1.

Thank you guys! One of the most important lessons I have learned is that today is the most important day of my quit. I can choose to be free by simply posting roll and living up to my word. The other "choice" is not an option anymore. I am quit and I don't do that anymore.

Everyone here contributes to my quit in different ways. Most don't even know that they affect me at all. To all the day 1'ers out there, thank you for reminding me about how much day 1 sucked. As you start posting up your days and they grow there is a definite transition that takes place and it sucks less. Complacency is your enemy. So to all the day 30'ers out there that stop posting roll and giving back to this community, I will actually thank you for making sure that I keep my guard up and know that today is the most important day of my quit. And for those that continue to post through this time, thank you for reminding me that it was not easy sailing through this time either. For all my brothers (and sisters)that continue to post well after 100 days, thank you for becoming brothers and sisters to me. For the real vets who have been here longer than me and continue to spout knowledge that is wiser beyond their years, thank you for being there and reminding me that there is success, today is that success, and that even through hardships of unfathomable proportions being quit is still a high priority to them.

So to anyone that read this, Thank you. You have helped me today.
