Guess what today is?

It's the day that I have saved exactly enough dip money to purchase a new Glock...

That's way cooler than 116 cans of Cope.

That is definitely cooler than cans of poison! Awesome progress!

Awesome, I did the same thing. .40 cal glock and a 9mm Smith and Wesson.

I should have my shotgun but I put the money into my son's wrestling club.

Its fun to have cash that states, no more is this a US Tobacco fund.

It is a nice feeling, even after only the first 5 days ~20 bucks... can't complain about that part of it for sure :D

Hump Daaayyyy. Oh wait...different day, I guess...

You two are probably correct. I will put some thought into it and get it done.

I find it really cool that the song "Hall of Fame" by the script is number 1 on Sirius right after I hit the HOF!!!!!!!

Yeah, you could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the king kong banging on your chest

You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door

You can throw your hands up
You can beat the clock
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks

You can be a master
Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

You could go the distance
You could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile

You could be the hero
You could get the gold
Breaking all the records they thought could never be broke

Do it for your people
Do it for your pride
Never gonna know if you never even try

Do it for your country
Do it for your name
Cause there's gonna be a day
When you're...

Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame

Post that speech bro. Get it up there for all to read.

I'm not sure why I am hesitant to post my HOF.

I think that I still need it hanging out there to keep me straight. I don't want to hit the perceived "finish line" yet because I always need a goal to suffer my way to. I know I could just change my goal to 200 or 1,000 but that initial goal is the hard one so I still need it there.

In short, I haven't reached my personal HOF yet.

You made it to the HOF. I also have a personal HOF. (1,000 when I hit that, I'll repeat for my protection) but posting and writing now is good. The hesitation may be because you still look into the future and your addicted mind is telling you some day you might cave.

I had too many June platoon's feel like they weren't ready to write a speech and they are not here. No only not here but caved.

That is a good looking trophy in your case now. It is shiny but lonely. You still need milestones and need to add trophy's.

My thought is that you just achieved a reward and your fans want to celebrate with you. You owe it to your fans to offer a speech and speak from the heart.

Also its an opportunity to write a declaration. Well a declaration of independence. You can do this and have won your freedom. Are you still an addict, and since you are free now, what will you do to protect your freedom?

Not my call but just an encouragement to write that speech. More people that write that speech, are more committed to be quit for life. IMO.

Glad to be quit with PD the HOFer today.

[ParadigmDawg]

Thanks guys.

I have had several people mention the 100 day funk to me and it makes perfect sense to me. We have worked our butts off- to reach an almost impossible goal, focused on that goal every minute of every day, cried, prayed and dang near sold our souls- with a promise that it will magically be better on day 100, gotten there and then blah. I am certain it is similar to the Holiday blues.

Well let me just tell you that a lot of people put time and effort into my quit and I will not disrespect that. I have dug deep into my gut, realized that I couldnÂ’t beat this thing alone, asked for help from a bunch of strangers, family members and my Angel of a wife and made a pretty good start at quitting this addiction.

This forum has taught me how to use tools and become successful. The veteransÂ’ showed me the way, my group kept me in line and the newbieÂ’s keep me motivated. I will do my very best to pay it forward.

I want to thank anyone that reached out to help me out of the starting blocks of my quit and whom I know will help me with the rest of the race. All of you guys have made a tremendous effort to help me. A special thank you goes out to Corey and Brody, you two know what you did for me.

YesterdayÂ’s celebration was a blast, my boss and I drove to an awesome trail about 150 miles from us. We mountain biked for 4 hours, raced each other some, went slow at times and enjoyed nature, stopped and just hung out along the way. At the end of the ride we shared a 6 pack of IPA and just talked. After that we hit a BBQ joint on the way home. Once I got home, I discovered that I was too tired to go to dinner with my wife so we just got some take out, she gave me a nice card and told me she was proud of me. I look forward to the dinner we will have soon.
