Hard to believe it is 500 days now. It was not an easy journey but I am thankful about that. I take pride in knowing I worked hard to reach this point but also know I couldn’t have done it without a lot of help from my brothers and sisters. The addiction will always be there but it is nice to know that everyday I am taking back more control. Thank you to everyone that has helped me. Wake up, piss, and post your promise to stay nicotine free for the day. Keep your promise. Make relationships with people that care as much as you should that you stay nicotine free to support you. Take time to help a few other quitters daily. The formula isn’t very hard.

Sign up and let KTC show you the path to getting you freedom back. You can quit and we are here to help you.

Keep being the Rockstar Quitter you are Keith.  You are a pillar to many peoples quit.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

If you are ready to choose living over a dead plant in a can, go post a day one in April and let KTC help quit the addiction that is controlling you. Quitting is hard but KTC helps make the formula simple. You can do it and we are here to help.

I was were you are not that long ago. Knew I needed to quit but was afraid and also wasn’t sure I wanted to. Then I learned more about addiction, decided I chose living over my addition, and threw the can out and quit. Quitting nicotine isn’t easy, but the KTC way is simple. Post roll every morning with your promise to quit. Keep your word for the day. Repeat the following day. Today I can actually tell you I am so glad I quit. I am still an addict but I understand the addiction and how to stay clean. It is really satisfying to know I am not doing something to end my life early. Honestly, I am proud of myself.

You can do it and we are here to help you. In fact, I promise you I will be your quit assistant and help you every day. Go to April and post a day 1.

Basic Playbook for KTC:


•   Wake Up Piss Post (WUPP)  – helpful to battle craves if you have posted your promise early in the day. If you have an issue posting your promise early in the day, reach out to a quit brother or sister and ask for a pickup. This shouldn’t be a common occurrence.
•   Wake up and repeat WUPP daily.
•   Exchange digits – every quitter should have numbers. Can every quitter be contacted by multiple group members?
•   Set a post deadline – example 1pm EST – be mindful of time zones – if you post late own it and acknowledge. You signed up for accountability. Brothers and sisters need to be checking roll throughout the morning to know if they are missing fellow quitters. If so, hunt them down.
•   What are you doing to help the group? Are you updating SSOA? Are you posting and ghosting? Do you track that your sisters and brothers have posted? Chase, Support, and hold each other accountable. If nothing else, post early so no one has to chase you down, thus creating more work for others.
•   Build relationships. Everyone’s goal is to be nicotine free but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t develop relationships. Strong relationships go along way in supporting your quit.

Crazy dreams. I keep having dreams that I am craving a dip but not your typical dip dreams. Funny thing is I tell myself the same stuff in my dreams as I do when I am awake. No way am I going back to being a slave. I am proud of what I have done with the help of the site and my network or fellow quitters. I know one night the dreams will stop. I'm just thankful I am in such a better position to handle them. One day at a time. Keep chugging along.
Still crave dreaming?

Sounds to me like your nic brain is fighting fierce!  Guess your subconscious doesn't realize what a bad ass quitter you are...

Proud to quit with you Keith!

403 days of being nicotine free. Amazing how quitting ODAAT works. You keep repeating the proven process here on KTC and eventually you have a ton of days quit. If addicts could understand how much better they will feel and how sweet life is without being a slave to a can, quitting would be so easy. If day 403 feels this good, I can't imagine how day 504 will feel. I'm not in a hurry. I'll find out one day. Just keep doing the same old thing one day at a time.

There is nothing like getting together and spending some quit time with fellow quitters. Great time with some local quitters in Maryland. We plan on making it a bigger event in the spring. Can’t wait.

Today is day 381. Although I quit one day at a time, it is hard not to look down the road and see 400 coming soon. Setting period milestones seems to work we with my addict brain. It really does get better. Keep quitting one day at a time and you can reach any milestone.

Keep it going Keith, I am only few days quit, your an inspiration to us guys struggling through the first few days.

I can't believe I am over a year quit. October 5th will always be a special day. Funny how the first few months suck and move so slow that you feel the day will never end. It is a struggle. But before you know it, you hit the 100 day mark and the HOF celebration. If you are going to stay quit you don't really have a choice. Keep plotting along one day at a time. Before you know it, not only is your day count piling up but your days are also getting so much better. It is almost shocking how much better they become.  Then you hit 150, 200, 250, and 300 days quit. Learning you can only quit today is huge. Keep it simple and quit just for today and let the days keep adding up. This concept has helped keep the stress and anxiety down. I don't have to worry about anything besides posting my promise and keeping my word today. Now at 371 days quit, the days are so much better. One day at a time really works. However, word of caution. I will never be so quit that I can't cave. Stay loyal to your routine.

Thank you to KTC and everyone for their support.
Can't believe it has been almost a year since you freaked me out by actually calling me on my phone after I shared my number.  :) You have been one of the most important people in keeping me quit and I cannot thank you enough for all you have done. Congrats on one year and keep it up brother!

September 17, 2019 - amazing feeling not having my blood pressure shooting out the top of my head with fear of going to the dentist. Still not a fan but something special not feeling all the fear. Remember this...
