KTC Member #1: Aquaman | #43

In Episode 43 of the Kill The Can Podcast, Chewie sits down with Aquaman, KTC Member #1, to discuss nearly two decades of quit history, community building, and personal growth.

The conversation also explores the early days of KillTheCan.org, the transition from forums to Discord, the role of accountability in recovery, and the importance of finding something new to love after quitting tobacco.
This episode is part quit story, part community history, and a reminder that no matter how long you've been quit, your journey can still help someone else.
