Ode to Two Years

In July of 2013 I was an addict,
I was blissfully unaware though.
Slavery to the can, what a dick,
Then a quick google popped up this show.

I never imagined how hard this would be,
Every day seemed to show a new obstacle.
Still I posted roll daily during my morning pee,
It all became routine and easy to tackle.

Then the first milestone hit, my Hall Of Fame,
I completed the journey right?
Brothers dropped like flies, it was quite a shame,
The few of us left have stayed quite tight.

That month we all learned that KTC was more,
All the "groups" started to become one massive quit.
The whole site morphed into a thing of lore,
We started to recognize and respond to addict bullshit.

Then the milestones pile up, each easier than the last,
The acronyms took on a real and heavy meaning.
Absolutely every part of life changed and became the past,
Quitters become friends that you enjoy meeting.

Then one day you realize that you start to give advice,
The same sage advice that you once received.
I am no smarter today nor any more nice,
But I do see how tobacco left us all deceived.

Newbies and FNGs I hope you soon realize,
That KTC does make the impossible possible.
Experience is the best example to help criticize,
This place is like a mystic and magic oracle.

Sure there are days it is like having another family,
Would love to smack, hit of kill him or her.
Those weird relatives or the questioned mentality,
None the less, that crazy fuck helped you be a quitter.

This shit really does get easier,
That advice is oh so very true.
One day you just get it live a fever,
But you have to want it for you.

So be selfish, be selfless and be quit,
As a quitter I want nothing more for you than this.
When you want it and you are proud to admit,
Then you become a better person rising from the abyss.
"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."

My HOF Speech

"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" - Proverbs 27:17

"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." - Srans

"Ah yes. The Kodiak bear. For 15 years I used to hump that fucking bear. Near the end I was going through 2 cans a day. Fuck that asshole bear. I don't own a gun and i've never been to Alaska but if I ever end up there I will kill one of those mother fuckers. Gun or no gun. Ill rain blows upon his face and drop kick him in the dick if he stands up." - Diesel2112

2 years ago a guy that wanted it so bad and was so serious about fighting his addiction started posting in previous Octobers to add acountability. I had respect for that effort and that more I got to know pinched, the more respect I have for the him. Proud to have as part of my quit, congrats today!

The whole site morphed into a thing of lore,
We started to recognize and respond to addict bullshit.

Then the milestones pile up, each easier than the last,
The acronyms took on a real and heavy meaning.
Absolutely every part of life changed and became the past,
Quitters become friends that you enjoy meeting.

Then one day you realize that you start to give advice,
The same sage advice that you once received.
I am no smarter today nor any more nice,
But I do see how tobacco left us all deceived.

Newbies and FNGs I hope you soon realize,
That KTC does make the impossible possible.
Experience is the best example to help criticize,
This place is like a mystic and magic oracle.

Sure there are days it is like having another family,
Would love to smack, hit of kill him or her.
Those weird relatives or the questioned mentality,
None the less, that crazy fuck helped you be a quitter.

This shit really does get easier,
That advice is oh so very true.
One day you just get it live a fever,
But you have to want it for you.

So be selfish, be selfless and be quit,
As a quitter I want nothing more for you than this.
When you want it and you are proud to admit,
Then you become a better person rising from the abyss.
'oh yeah'

Today marks 800 days of freedom from nicotine. However for that race it truly is to me just another day.

So many things have happened since I quit, had I know all along that all of these "changes" would have happened well I would have quit much sooner.

The question from newbies is so often "what should I expect when I quit?". This is very easily answered by any other quitter with 4 days to 4,000 days quit under their belt. We all know the stages of quit by now and can identify with the FOG, the CRAVINGS, the FUCK ITs, the RAGE, or any other side affect that comes form being quit. I see all of those as the hurdles that come at you while you barrel down this trail of quit.

The unexpected things that come from being quit are actually so much more impressive and often not talked about here.

- The one that is often identified is the brotherhood, to some that is just a word or a slogan. What it means to me is getting text messages on a milestone day, getting a SOS call from someone, helping someone else realize that they are much more than an addiction. This is when you really do identify that your quit or even this website is so much more than a log in and a couple of posts, this is not social media...this is a life saving network.

- The overall changes you make. So being quit is a huge commitment, and it leads to so many good choices. You may start working out again, you may start eating healthy, you may start being a better role model, father, brother, family member. You may start to love someone new or someone again. You may start to see that each day you get better and that better you has that much more to offer to another life

- The rage and the anger are so much more manageable, not because you have changed but because you have learned to respect yourself and that helps you control yourself too.

- Your confidence rises, you are winning every day, so go on reach that other goal too.

More often than not all of us as quitters dwell on the word addiction and how we are all addicts. Words are great and they motivate but at the same time I ask that as an addict you look at the word quitter as well. Each and every one of us made a conscious decision for ourselves to quit and we have promised the same daily and kept that promise. So that tells me that you are a man of your word, you have drive and you can beat this addiction. Yes you are still an addict and you will be until you no longer have any craving, you have no need for your brothers and sisters here and you are a walking tall like Buford Pusser. I choose to stay right here and may always be here, I need all of you in my life though I will walk tall and proud because yes I am an addict but I am also a quitter and no one but me can take that away from me.

"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."
