on day 87 of the quit...had some password problems

even though i haven't used the support forums, seeing what other are doing has been an inspiration.

Why quit beside us when you can quit with us?

It's true that you can quit on your own (5% success rate after 6 months is the benchmark) but the chances of staying quit as part of this group raises that much higher.

Besides, I've yet to see anybody that makes their promise and keeps their word fail.  Don't half ass this.  Be part of this.

Good advice.  thanks

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

hey - really appreciate the welcome and the support!

live in suburban chicago - fan of all the local teams. 

dipped a little in high school, then quit.

picked in up again in 1993 - spent a lot of time on the road and it helped with the boredom.  up until november at can a day guy of skoal pouches.  quit for close to 100 days in 2014/2105 then baseball season came back around and relapsed for my son's first game.

had to quit - what started out as an in the car thing turned into an all day thing.  too much money!  didn't like how i was feeling.  always on the downlow, was never honest with my wife and kids about it...i was living a lie.

been reading this site for years to get the courage to quit...tried joining the forum earlier but kept getting my password screwed up.  then just decided to try and brand new account.  wih i'd done i'd gotten in earlier...you guys are great!

thanks guys

Welcome judge. Like sand suggested introduce yourself to the group. I also joined my group later in my Quit. Not quite as long as you but it really helped me connect when I went back to day one and read through all the events that I missed in the early days. Congrats on 87 days on your own

OUTSTANDING!!!!

KTC is pretty straightforward...

1) Wake up
2) Piss
3) Post your promise to be quit for the day on roll
4) KEEP YOUR WORD
5) Repeat daily

If you do that you WILL be QUIT. Seems pretty easy, right?

Exchange digits with your fellow quitters. I know it's a bit weird to give your number out to random internet strangers, but I can promise you that these people will become some of your closest friends over the course of your quit. Everyone on this site is either going through it with you, have walked this path before you, or (eventually) are following in YOUR footsteps. This works because we support each other and provide accountability. We know what it's like to be where you are today.

Congratulations on your decision to take your life back!

Why wait?

Post roll with your quit group here and get the critical thing you're missing - Brotherhood and Accountability
