Thank you guys for the kind words!

BTW today is my birthday. This is the first time nicotine wasn't the first one to greet me on my birthday in like over twenty years. Damn good day +1 on my birthday, hell of a win!
Belated Happy birthday! Thanks for leading the way for me.
Thank you B-lo, but this site has done way for me than I for it.

While I am here, I Just lost a brother in law late yesterday. He was young in his 40's and died unexpectedly while driving with my 11year old nephew in the car. Try telling an 11 year old his dad is gone, that sucked more than anything I've possibly ever done.....ever! Second brother in law that died this way from clots within the last two years. Both where dippers, not sure that's a factor. Glad as hell to be quit today so at least I am sure I am not adding to health issues. Thank you brother and sisters I quit with you all today.
I'm sorry to hear that ERussell. I couldn't imagine having to do that. If you need anything, holler. I quit with you today
Damn that is rough. You and yours have my prayers.

Dinner was amazing, Jake and I met Mike Land and Papabear. We all spent most of our time learning about one another and the rest if the time discussing our quits. As figured, both of these men are serious quitters and understand what KTC is all about. It was much like meeting Srans, these guys felt like family immediately. Newbies if you can go meet a fellow quitter ASAP, it will fortify your quit.

Jake was off and on his way last night, before he left I gave him the travel money I had promised and a hug, he resisted both lol. He was just like I had imagined except he isn't arrogant. He is a great guy and his wife is an absolute angel, not sure how he scored that one! At any rate he accepted my challenge like a man and is likewise a bad ass quitter in my opinion. As promised I will be supporting his quit, however after meeting this cool cat, I will proudly boast my support if him!

I can't imagine going this without KTC, I am glad I don't have to because it is great to be quit. I quit with all of you as hard as I can every damn day! Erussell day 230

Great stuff here! Erussell your challenge and Jakes acceptance of it was EPIC. I will quit with both of you EDD!

Well tonight he is in my house. His quit is still his quit, not mine, but he did drive 14 hours to look me I the eye and say..... I quit! This has been a unique experience no doubt. And there are those that agree as well as those that don't with my action, I hope someone would try this hard for me. I busted his balls hard enough, now it is time to support the man in his quit. While he caved several times, few have put forth such effort upon a return. Either way, my quit is likewise stronger for it. I quit with Jake today.
Great stuff Eddie.. and Jake. This is an extreme example of "going to any lengths" but a great one. I always like to say we did whatever it took to get a dip and we should treat our quit with similar tenacity. Jake certainly rose to the challenge to repair you guys' relationship. That's pretty bold.

I'll quit with you both you today!
When Jake told me that you extended this offer, I told him to pack a fucking bag. What an opportunity. Put up or shut up. I figure after a move like this he would really have something to think if he ever found himself back on a cliff with a can in his hand. You are a class act ERussell. Glad to have you on my team.
One special person, you are Eddie, and one day my hand will be there to shake yours as well.

As for the agree or disagree, I would like to find someone here on the site that would say they disagree with what you have done/are doing. As I would tell them to look up the definition of Brotherhood and then ask them why they are not doing similar acts. Because this is the way that we incorporate into our lives to remain quit.

Man you have taken that to the max, and I applaud you for it.

I will absolutely quit with you each and every (damn) day.
BROTHERHOOD!
We just had breakfast at the old Cracker Barrel. We are going to do the aquarium for a few hours, then we are meeting two other bad asses shortly, Mike Land and Papabear for an early dinner. All this quit in my thread today is close to making me emotional! Omg what a freacking awesome day. Brotherhood is where it's all at men.
I agree with SirDerek. Eddie, this is why I quit with you EDD. You are a heck of a quitter my friend.

I don't think anyone has a problem with what you have done here. This is the definition of brotherhood. Now it is time for jake to hold his word today. If this doesn't solidify a quit for someone then I don't know what to say or do. Well done sir! Quit with you all day long.
