Chris2Alaska,


Welcome to the group. You have made a wise decision.


The main way to be successful is to just decide that you have quit. Once you stop the negotiating in your head as to whether you will do one more or not the rest becomes far more simple.

Next, you will learn to distract your attention from your desire for a dip to anything else that interests you. This ability to change your focus will guarantee your success and make your quit that much easier.

When you place a dip in your mouth, your brain releases sugars. Well, those sugars are now going to be gone.

However, you can replace them with OJ or other fruit juices with sugar. This will provide some comfort, especially in your initial quit days.

Make sure to exercise with weights and cardio when you feel that nagging tension in your muscles, you feel that rage, when you can not sleep and when you can not focus. Exercise really helps.

Here is one that most people overlook. Get at least 3 square meals a day. Hunger can really bring on those urges so squash those urges before they come. Eat full healthy meals and do not let yourself get excessively hungry. You will see this helps a great deal.

I waited until I was 59 quit after using tobacco for 40 years. You are wise to quit now.

I quit with you today.

Welcome. Quitting can be as simple as posting roll daily and not using tobacco. Get some quitters digits, and make a friend or 2!

Welcome Chris!! And congrats on making perhaps the best decision of your life.

You nailed it head on - we quit for today and only for today. We make our promise not to use today by posting roll each and every day right away in the morning. We keep our promises 24 hours at a time.

Make sure you quit for yourself first. Start to get involved with your April 2018 group and begin to share your digits using the PM tool in the upper right corner of your screen. I will send you my number so you start to get a feel for how this all works. Building an accountability network and brotherhood is a critical factor for sustained success here at KTC. The Spreadsheet of Accountability (or SSOA because we love acronyms here at KTC) is a tool used to track the quitters for a particular month, what day they are on, what days they missed posting roll, etc. Typically, a few people from each month volunteer to manage the SSOA for their month. If this is something you would like to help with, someone from April will be able to give you editing access. Helping out with the SSOA is a great way to build accountability and really get to know your fellow quitters.

So happy to have you Chris! Dive in and proud as hell to be quit with you today!

Hi James Gromo.

Long time no talk to my friend

I like to tickle too and I aint no bitch.  HAHAHAHAHA

Hahaha! Love you brother. I know I've been posting and ghosting for months now. But I'm back baby! I had another scare of complacency. I need to get that hatred back. Too easy to sit around near cigars before you eventually feel the strong urge to grab one and take a puff. scared me lol.

Quae cum, relicto superbus tibi hodie

Dude, I just got back from vacation.  I was in the Caribbean for 2 weeks and I literally had to stave off like 50-60 guys trying to sell me cigars.  405 days ago I woulda been buying half those dick sticks


Quae cum, relicto omni die cor tuum parum pudici filium asinæ.
One of these is gonna translate back dirty. giving this one about a 50/50 lol

I've still been staying off the sauce to avoid any...drunken mistakes. I can honestly say I dont know if I'd be posting a 406 or a 2 today if I'd have been drinking Saturday night.

Translation - And since this is, leave everything behind and the heart of your day a little bit sexy, the son of she-asses.

Well, when I come down there, you can have a glass or two of bourbon with me and I will make sure you don't give in.

I like that better, Leave everything behind and let the heart of your day be a little bit sexy.
Hell yeah brother, I've been stockpiling. Have so many bottles of whiskey lol.

FOUR HUNDRED DAYS!
Missed you around here lately.  Guess you had to go pretend you were in the Navy! Must have been the English or French navy as the U.S. doesn't have it so plush.
Just goes to show ya how much $$ we blew over the years and how it could have been much better spent.
Oh well, tears over yesterday is foolish, let us seize today brother!
Carpe diem quitum maximum e pluribus unum! (That's Latin darlin'!)
