What the Success of Our Quit Is Built Upon

Today is day 500 of my quit.

The quit is quite smooth right now. Nothing much in the way of craves lately. Every day that we put between Day 1 and today makes us a little stronger. It does get easier if you stay committed.

I want to say thank you. The last time I was nicotine free for this long, I was a young teenager…..maybe even a pre-teen. This web site is an amazing tool.

There is something I’d like to share with you all. My job has taken me on the road for the last few weeks. Saturday before last, I drove up to Kansas, and spent an afternoon with one of my August 2009 quit brothers, Marty (livin is his AKA).

A lot of you guys already know this because you have done it. But I am here to tell you that if you ever have the opportunity to get together with other quitter(s), do it.

The accountability here is what the success of our quits are built upon. You will add an unprecedented layer of accountability to your quit if you were to ever meet a quit brother.

It didn’t take long, and I felt like I had known Marty for years. Honor, integrity, trustworthiness. Three qualities that I personally believe are at the heart of every strong, successful quitter. These qualities are required for the accountability to work. I could not imagine breaking my word to a quit brother after shaking his hand. And I am sure that Marty would agree.

I appreciate your hospitality Marty. You, and every quitter here has my word. I will remain nicotine free today, and I will be here to make that same promise tomorrow.
