New guys. If you want some solid support. PM these two guys and ask them to hold you accountable.
Good Point Gmann. I have two bad asses from August 2014 that I am posting with daily, Natemcpherson and Bombero, but looking for a solid quitter to support and them to support me in September. PM me if you are interested. But beware I will hold you to posting roll every day (I refuse to miss) in both your group and mine. And there will be ACCOUNTABILITY BETWEEN US! But I will support you every way I can. Come on newbie drink the coolaid.
kind of parched ..... may I have a drink of that tasty beverage?

I love the smell of rock solid quit leadership! Thank you!
Yes Cbird you can have a whole jug! Thank you for the call early in my quit. I sent you my number and you called me immediately. We had a thirty minute conversation. So you damn right you can have cool-aid, you've earned it. I just can't see how anyone can claim you guys aren't active. Again I appreciate all of you with color in your name.

Bronc you get it! We are as much leaders as are the mods. It isn't their sole responsibility to support and help. Hell it was the fairly new quitters I remember most in my young days. It's our responsibility as a whole to make this site what it is. And I will say it again, we are doing it right!!!

And Derk your nothing short of a bad ass, trust me this guy bleeds KTC. With you I quit!

I love KTC! And I am willing to defend her for the newbies to come, so that they may too be fortunate enough to stumble up on such an oasis as I did that will lead them to their freedom as it has me.
The leadership on these boards is always amazing. Proud to give you my word again today. Wouldn't be here without you.
Great stuff Eddie. These are my exact thoughts right here. You did a great job putting it into words.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Eddie,
Damn man, you are a great and very noble man. You first opened up my eyes with the righting Jake's Quit trip and what you did specifically for him and his quit. You are one of many people here at KTC that has helped open up my eyes to addict behavior and helped me see the suicidal idiot I once was. This KTC exit letter and strategy is a shameless ploy in my mind and completes the "whoa is me - Jake Frawley" story on here. I hate seeing people's time wasted but unfortunately this was a monumental waste of space, words, time and money.

Keep on doing what you do as you are the salt of the earth and the grain of quit on KTC. Let your words of wisdom be the wind in new quitters sails.

Sincerely,

P
"If you want to quit then stop talking and just QUIT. If you want to kill yourself a bullet is cheaper and faster than a tin, plus it eliminates my hearing you whine and cry like a bitch."

Been talking to a lot of quitters. Seeing a few folks go, sucks, but I will not judge anyone if they go, nor will I write you off. I have nothing against anyone who decides KTC isn't for them.

Sure this site could be better, roll is a bitch! (Roll usually takes me an hour)! I bet leadership could do a better job! We could work harder to improve our political position and deliver a bigger black eye to big tobacco. It could be set up as a non profit organization to ensure no one is profiting. We could raise funds in various ways to help us reach out to more quitters. We could set better guidelines for leaders with prerequisites and minimal qualifications.

Ok....Ok.... So we have a lot of things to fix........ But damn it,,,, we get a lot of things right!!!! For every thing we have to improve there are ten we are getting correct. The number one reason this site works is brotherhood.

I wish the best and will miss all those that leave and don't return, but this is my home. This is the place I found while in agony, this is the place where I found accountability and support, this is the place I found knowledge, and most important this is the place I met my brothers in quit.

As for the mods and KTC admins, THANK YOU!!! I am sure your not perfect but I for one appreciate your time. Many have directly reached out to me in PMs, texts, and on my thread, hell I've talked with several of them on the phone. I feel they are as active as they need to be, all of them? I have no idea! Enough of them? Damn right! If you are missing roll you shouldn't no matter where you are on the quit time-line.
This is the list with color that have reached out to me. Each of them know who I am. It is possible I've missed one or two.

Great stuff spoken by one of my quit heroes!

If this site did not work then I would be knee dip in a can of copenhagen today.... but I am not. Not a chance of that happening today. Because I posted roll for day 370 this morning and I am quit. I am accountable to KTC and the brotherhood. That makes today a success!

One Year, wow It feels so great! I never really imagined being here while I was a user, yet here I am quit and I will remain quit for the remainder of this day, for I have posted role and given my word to each of you.

I would like to say thank you to my supporters, many of you have far fewer days than do I and many are over 1000 days. I am so fortunate for the support, I appreciate each of you bad asses.

I will forever be an addict, but ODAAT I keep my precious freedom!

Quit with y'all
Erussell 365
Congrats on a year. Great stuff! Oh yeah and 'Finger' !
What a great day! I came on and posted roll then clicked on your thread. Thanks to the new site, the first post to pop up was 365 days ago... Your first post! You have come a hellofa long way Eddie. And you've pushed and pulled a lot of others along with you. Thank you for defining leadership and brotherhood! Congratulations, enjoy today but take a few minutes to reflect on the past. You'll never have to relive that hell my friend.
Congrats on 1 yr! I appreciate all that you do. Thanks for being such a great supporter. Quit with you all day!
1 year Eddie. That's bad ass brother. Proud to be quit with you and proud to call you part of my August 2013 quit group. Keep leading the way buddy. Congrats to you today.
Damn Bro! A year! I hope you get a chance to sit back and take a break from work today to reflect. You have been through and accomplished a ton of things this year! Significant lows and tremendous highs. And you have stayed true and remained quit for 365 days of it all! I can tell you that I am here and my quit is strong because of a lot of the involvement I have had with you. You are an example of strength, and I know for a fact I am not the only one here today that has been built up by your example. I quit with you all day today! Congratulations bro! You are a true BAD ASS!
I remember my first day on this site...you were 9 days in and i was on my first day fogging like a motherfucker....and i was seriously about to say fuck it when i couldn't figure out how to post roll..then i got my first PM from a guy named eddie and attached was your number. I contemplated not calling and really went back and forth on it. But I made the call and you walked me through roll. I may have stumbled along the way but i will never forget what you did for me. and I won't ever forget the support you show me and this site. If it weren't for you and Jake there is no way i would be back here and undoubtedly not quit. Thanks Mr. Erussell

Welcome to 400, you bad ass!

Looked back at your first few posting on your intro. Pretty amazing stuff in there. 400 days ago is a different world from the one you are in. Congratulations on your achievement and for pulling a lot of people along with you.
Congrats on 400 days of pure quit! Proud to be quit the likes of you today!
Great job Eruss. Thanks for bringing me along for the ride.
Very nice Erussell.....Here's a loving 'Finger' to help you celebrate. Keep it up brother!

Thank you guys. This site has been good for me. I have quit nicotine and will remain so ODAAT by posting my promise daily and then honoring my word. But most importantly I have learned a lot about life and am now a better person as a result of this site and the honorable men and woman that make this site what it is. Quit with all of you.
A little late. Sorry. Niiiice!
4th floor kudos! You kick nics ass EDD!
Erussell...I am proud of you on your 4th floor. Thanks for being my Mentor!!!
