3684 days…. (10 Years)
Those above numbers represent where I would be today had I pulled my head out of my ass and quit like I was supposed to. Instead, I chose to go back to the Nic bitch and abandoned everyone and all the tools that helped me reach 1038 days. I think from research that is the last day count I posted here before burning all my bridges and walking away. Arguably one of the stupidest things I have done to this date. Just when I thought I couldn’t do anything dumber I drop the bar real low and come back in here in 2018 after I trashed all those days, burnt my support bridges and let a whole shit load of people down. One would think after all that, I would learn a lesson and remain quit for good this time around. Well here DWEIRICK is yet again posting up a Day 23 count…
I know where things went wrong, and it was a simple fix. I didn’t see it as a simple fix at the time, and I felt like it was more hassle than what it was worth. Taking care of my mental health should have been as important to me as my quit. I neglected that aspect for many years and I think I did it on purpose so in the event I would cave I would have an excuse, invalid as that excuse is, it was there for me to use. I have since corrected that issue and got myself out of some really bad situations that were not good for me or my mental health.
I also decided to unplug my head from my ass so that I could take this quit to heart and make it a true final quit. I know that I can’t quit without KTC. I know that if I walk away from here at any point in my quit, I will jeopardize my success. I know that burning bridges and cutting ties with other quitters who are just trying to hold me accountable is detrimental to my quit. I know not posting my promise each day and remaining connected is detrimental to my quit.
Yesterday EdT3329 (Nov 21) posted Jenny and Tom Kerns story in October 2025. I have made it my personal mission to read this story each day, and I will read it each time a craving hit's. Thank you for posting this, EdT3329. I have six beautiful children, an amazing, beautiful and absolutely supportive wife. I won’t rob them of any more time with their father or my wife's husband for a worthless plant in a damn can….
I apologize to everyone at KTC that I let down, and I apologize to myself for not loving or caring about myself enough to take this more seriously the other two times I came here.
I have reached out to many of the old bridges I had burnt to the ground, and I shit you not these bad ass quitters helped me rebuild those same bridges that I torched. If that does not show you the dedication and commitment of the members of KTC to fellow brothers and sisters, I don’t know what will! I also have gained new bridges with my return, and I fully intend to keep them intact, whatever the cost may be.
I have put things in place to protect my quit and I have made my quit a priority over anything else this time. Nothing could be more important than breaking from this addiction so that I don’t have to look at my family one day and say: “I chose nicotine over my life with all of you, and I chose to let you watch me die an agonizing death over giving up this addiction once and for all”
