KillTheCan.org Quit Forums Surpass 17,000 Members!

Once again, I have the honor of announcing another milestone for KillTheCan.org.  Over the weekend our quit support forum hit another huge milestone when we crossed the 17,000 registered member mark!

Not only are we growing… but we’re growing FAST!  For the 3rd time in our history, we managed to gain 1,000 members in less than a 100 day HOF cycle!  And consider this… in less than 3 years we’ve added over 10,000 members!!!

Here’s a look back at our growth since I’ve been keeping track:

• 17,000 members – 11.2.2013 – 97 days to go from 16,000 to 17,000
• 16,000 members – 7.28.2013 – 110 days to go from 15,000 to 16,000
• 15,000 members – 4.9.2013 – 95 days to go from 14,000 to 15,000
• 14,000 members – 1.4.2013 – 104 days to go from 13,000 to 14,000
• 13,000 members – 9.22.2012 – 110 days to go from 12,000 to 13,000
• 12,000 members – 6.4.2012 – 103 days to go from 11,000 to 12,000
• 11,000 members – 2.22.2012 – 84 days to go from 10,000 to 11,000
• 10,000 members – 11.30.2011 – 113 days to go from 9,000 to 10,000
• 9,000 members – 8.9.2011 – 111 days to go from 8,000 to 9,000
• 8,000 members – 4.20.2011 – 107 days to go from 7,000 to 8,000
• 7,000 members – 1.3.2011 – 167 days to go from 6,000 to 7,000
• 6,000 members – 7.20.2010 – 182 days to go from 5,000 to 6,000
• 5,000 members – 1.19.2010 – 141 days to go from 4,000 to 5,000
• 4,000 members – 6.9.2010

I snapped this picture and put it on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts to recognize the occasion.

Interested in some more numbers?  How about 2.3 million?  That’s the number of posts currently on the forums.  KillTheCan.org is the best place on the web if you’re looking to quit dipping.  But don’t take my word for it.  There are 17,000 other folks who “get it”.   You CAN quit dipping.  And we can help.  You’re not alone in your fight to quit.

Just like at the 16,000 mark, I want to offer my thanks to everyone who’s joined us so far and especially to the staff for making KillTheCan.org the incredible community that it is.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Here’s to the next thousand!

PS: Photo was taken from a Google Image search for “17,000” which led me to this.  Love it!
