Ready - Day 3771

Cancer is a very real threat. As of this date, I am cancer free. Some have not been so fortunate. Help if you can.

Thank you to all that donated and that have donated in the past. I know everyone has their own issues. It is great to see people helping others, even when those others are complete strangers to you. Makes me proud!

Great people here!

Stay quit and enjoy your freedom!

Ready - Day Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirteen

Random thought...

I see so many potential quitters logged on quite often. They are listed as "Guest". Recently they can number over a hundred browsing the site at all hours. That tells me there are many people out there who want to quit. But they don't. I know why. Quitting is hard. There is no magic pill. It's not quick and it's not easy, at first. But it can be done. And you would not believe how much it is worth it. If you took a poll of quitters on this site, I'm guessing you would get north of 98% saying they wish they would have quit years and years ago. They would lament all the time wasted being a slave when the answer was right here.

There is no reason to delay quitting. You may think you have good reasons not to quit this instant. But that's simply a lie. It's a convenient lie for sure. It's much easier to feed the master.

One last thing,

Quitting requires a daily dose of posting roll and keeping your word. That's the minimum. It can be done that way. But getting involved here and getting to know other quitters greatly enhances your ability to remain quit. If no one will notice that you have missed a day, you're probably on the wrong path.

I post roll, I keep my word. That shit works.

Those that don't, well, let's just say we've seen them return after locking themselves back up, sometimes for years.

That won't be me!

There are a few people who would notice if I didn't turn up. And they would come looking.

Thank you!

Don't ever think it's not your place to put me in check if I'm not on roll!

This place works!

Ready - Day 3,704

I've been quit on this site for over ten years. I've had the privilege and honor of being asked to serve as both a mod and an admin. I'm still baffled by how well this place works if you are ready to quit. This place works.

Be advised, there is no magic pill and there is no cure.

But there is freedom to be had here. If your word of honor means something, you too can quit.

Post roll giving your word for today that you will not use nicotine in any way, shape or form. Keep your word. Whatever it takes.

You will find the help here you need. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people that understand exactly what you are going through. Most of them will drop whatever they are doing to help you stay quit. All of this and it's free too!

The knowledge and insight on this site can not be equaled anywhere.

If you are reading this, you may be contemplating quitting. Just know that you are not alone. We know! We can help. But you must do the heavy lifting. We can't quit for you. We will quit with you.

I don't think you can imagine right now how great your quality of life can be. You probably do not realize how much nicotine has taken from you. You may not want to hear this, but you are a slave. And you as well as friends and loved ones are suffering for your addiction.

You can quit!

You will not regret it!

It will be one of the hardest things you have ever done. It will also be one of the most rewarding things you have ever done.

It's going to suck for awhile (you will pay the price) but your freedom is worth it!

Ready - Day 3,654 (Ten Years Today)

I recall that I had wanted to quit for years. I tried to quit many many times. I tried and tried. I failed every single time. I recall being so angry at myself that I couldn't quit. I was frustrated. I was a damn slave and I knew it. And that really disgusted me.

On February 1, 2008, I discovered this site and my life changed forever!

The greatest change for me was the absolute transformation of my quality of life. I will never get back All of the time I spent feeding the master while disregarding everything important in my life.

I would not be quit without the members of this site.

A special thanks to my May 2008 Brothers in the TTF! Thanks redtrain14, RC and Corn for always being there!

A very special thanks to the mods and admins who spend quite a bit of their own time doing what needs to be done to make this site what it is...The best place in the entire world to quit and stay quit!

You can do this!
Congrats on 10 years quit!!
This is an amazing milestone! Congrats and thanks Ready.
A Decaquit of excellent proportions! May 08 TTF rocks!
Congrats on the decade of quit!!! Thanks for staying around and helping us all quit!!

Attaboy ready! Thanks for paving the quit road
'oh yeah' Grats Ready, when the boards have needed a cool head, you've always stepped up.

Thank you!
A belated congrats, Ready! Thanks for paving the way for all of us!!!

There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.
