This intro documents a big part of my life, and my struggle to win at the one thing that I always failed at... quitting nicotine. Thanks to KTC for making the impossible possible.

Worktowin - 6 years.
Well, here goes the nostalgia and ghey sappiness... 6 years ago I quit. I was terrified. Emotional. Lost. And alone. I'd stopped hundreds, fuck I'd stopped thousands of times, but this time my doctor more of less told me to get my act together or buy more life insurance. So I quit. 16 days later I stumbled across this site, and you guys, and you helped me succeed at the one thing that I had failed at in life over and over and over. I'm healthier, happier, and just so much more free. I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of you, and I hope to meet more of you as time goes by. I owe this group my life, and I'm so very thankful to post here every day. God Bless, and Merry Christmas.

Badass bro!
I miss seeing the influx of these kind of intro entries.
Big. Time.
The change in KTC to this new site left most of the amazing content behind in an archive, instead of bringing it here
ALL that stuff is pure Quit Gold...
This man's intro especially.
Quit with you every day Michael.

Huge accomplishment Brother!!
Thanks for all you've done and continue to do for KTC.
Looking forward to seeing you this summer!!
Stay Gold!

Hi guys. 40 year old professional guy here. Started dipping at 16. Like all of you - wow... That first dip I still remember like it was yesterday. Like the best roller coaster ever. Been using a can every day for 24 years. Add that up m-fers... That is a new Lexus I spit out over 24 years. Had a physical a few weeks ago and need to make some diet and exercise changes, so why not get all of this ugliness done at once? First few days I slept all the time. The fog is unreal and I'm still in it. Have been able to function and work but still feel out of it. I, like you, read the 100 reasons to quit and probably could relate to 80% of them. I had some great times with the bear, but never again. I've hidden this from family and friends for years and am now 2 weeks in. Every time I think about it I log in and read your stories - they make it real and give the extra push I need. I'll be to 100 days soon and when the fog clears I look forward to cheering my fellow brothers on. Thanks for your support.

Well here is the deal with KTC, we are basically a cold turkey program, we don't utilize nicotine replacement therapy such as nicorette gum.
We come in each day and promise to our brothers that we will remain quit for the rest of the day, the next day we come and do the same thing.
People come in here and bust balls, they go in the chat and talk about the issues they are having, they call fellow quit group members and ask for help. We remain quit one day at a time.
We have milestones, the biggest and the first is reaching 100 days quit without NRT, this is called the Hall of Fame, the time when you reach HOF is your quit group so if you stopped all nicotine on December 23rd or 24th you would be in the April 2013 group.
When in your group you post roll call, this is your promise to quit today, tomorrow you come in and repeat. Remember, we are addicts, we are junkies to nicotine, it takes a strong will and assistance to stay quit.
Here is the welcome center
index.php?showforum=13 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=13)
Here is how to post roll call
index.php?showtopic=50 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=50)
And a little video on how to post roll call
http://www.killthecan.org/roll/ (http://www.killthecan.org/roll/)
Here is the April quit group
index.php?showtopic=7622 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7622)
Welcome to our group, if you buy into the program it can save your life.
Stay quit my friend.

Hey man I'm glad you quit and found us. Try posting roll and make your promise every day. Read all you can. I will quit with you but I don't need any weakness in my quit. I will send you my number PM me if you have any questions.
PS. You and the bear DID NOT have good times together. YOU had the good times and the BEAR (nicotine/Tobacco) was that wart on your ass you had to take along. You will now have better times without the shit.

Keep working it workingtown and the fog will clear. You'll be abadass m-fer when you lick this and get your senses back. It can change your life but only you can make the choice to stay quit today.

Well done for giving that word of yours on the roll. It is vital that you post that early as it tells yourself that I now have to keep that pledge that I just made not only to myself (as if you cannot keep a word to yourself, then you have nothing), but also to your quit brothers.
And yes Wake is right. The times you had in the past were all good but they were you. The bear had nothing to do with them to make it better. In fact the cancer causing leach may have even taken away from all of the joy that could have been better. Cause if like most, what more joy could we have had on wedding days and births of children....oh yea just wait as I need a minute to go throw in a fatty and kill myself a little Sarcasm
OMG we were such addicts to think that way. I quit with you today and that is my word.
-
Just wanted to say welcome to ktc and congratulation's on quitting. It's the best decision you could ever make. I quit with you today. If you need anything at all just pm me.
-
I hate that fucking bear too. Welcome to Quit. It's so much better on the other side. I definately Quit with you today. KC Bronco
-
The bear is a jerk. You don't need it...never did. You are amongst some bad ass mother fuckers who handle quit with lead pipe cruelty on a daily basis. We also get off on helping others beat the fuck out of the bear. Its a pretty cool group. Welcome.
-
Another ninja....welcome.
Take back your life. Snatch it from the clutches of big tobacco. Get mad. Stay mad. Just don't take it out on your family. Bring it here and yell at KCChief. Just being a Chef's fan is enough to get him yelled at.
-
Loot - hilarious! What is even funnier is that... I.... am.... from... Kansas City!
F the bear man. Day 17 and counting.
Thanks friends----

How do you cope with the withdraws???? Im losing my mind!!!

How do you cope with the withdraws???? Im losing my mind!!!
You have to push through it. The worse of it is usually gone in 72 hours. Gotta get the nicotine out of your system. You'll still have cravings and things that will trigger you to want to dip, but you make it through the first 72 and you are serious about quitting...then you can get through this shit.
I picked up some Smokey Mountain Herbal snuff from Wally. Kind of tastes like tobacco, but it isn't. Gives you the oral fix, but doesn't do much for the nicotine. Someone also suggested fireballs. I used be be able to find those mf'ers all the time when I was a kid. Went to 5 different stores yesterday and couldn't find any. Settled for some cinnamon jolley ranchers. Not the same, but effective.

My main problem has been "the fog." Seems to last forever, and it shows up sometimes and not at others. I guess the good part is that....when I'm in it, I really don't even notice it. It is later in the day that I think.... WTF did I do today? Still functioning fine from a work and home life perspective, so whatever I am doing must be OK? I just don't recall it.
Other than that, I am making multiple major life changes. Working out a lot. Every day 3-4 miles, weights 3X a week. Completely changed eating habits (major league diet.) I finally came to the conclusion that if I f'd up enough things in my life (for the good) all at the same time none of them would individually hurt as badly. So far - so good.
Whatever you do bud - don't give up the fight. This isn't easy for any of us, but all of us have lied to our friends and families over this disgusting habit - and we owe it to ourselves to live the good life. PM me any time - I'd be happy to talk...

'crackup' I've had that with the fog as well. I've driven home that way. How in the hell I made it is beyond me. Sounds like you have a lot going on at once. I made my health change last year. Not a diet...lifestyle change as my wife calls it. :D Complete diet change and working out as well. Usually 3 days of running and 3 days of weights a week. Dropped 30 pounds. Have gained back 7 since I stopped dipping and that is with the exercise and diet continuing. Go figure. But if you have to give on something, give on the diet. I couldn't imagine trying to do all of those at one time. Keep going with the quit....that is the most important.

some of my fogs were 2 weeks. but the good news is they do go away. just get through the day no matter what. eat what ever you want. once you have some days under your belt the diet can change. As long as your exercising you shouldn't gain too much. I'm a completely different person now at 159 days. I eat so friggin healthy now, and I feel very healthy. pm if you guys need anything. quit= B)

200 Days! Great Job Bro! I am proud to quit with you today and each day forward!

200 Days! Great Job Bro! I am proud to quit with you today and each day forward!
Thanks Jake; you and a lot of others got me here. Lately there have been some people on this site trying to discourage posting roll. Those yahoos are not celebrating 200 days today. This system is the real deal.
You know how good you feel about your quit, well... It really does get even better. I can't proclaim to have been in a cult or have a grandfather that started a bus company, but I've done pretty well for myself in like. And success at this quit is one of my greatest accomplishments.
Thanks for all of your support.

Even if a man was poor and quit he would still be better then a rich man who is a slave to a drug.... I don't care what that BOY says on these threads regarding roll call. I' will only trust the word of a man I SEE everyday! That's at least some proof that he has commitment and honor! I SEE you everyday! Good job, I following you up the ladder!

So.... Here I am on day 201. I've fought the fight. I've quit. Through the fog! I've lost 60 lbs and changed all my bad ways! Life is good!!! Came clean to wife and she is proud! Craves, what are you talking about?
Around 4pm some colleagues that I used to work with invited me out for drinks. I went and all was going great. Then one of them pulled out an e cigarette. Told me that it was dr pepper flavored. Yummy! Sooo safe! Sooo cheap!!! No danger! He puffed! He looked so happy. Offered it to me.
5 seconds of hell followed. Tomorrow the first guy I reached out to, flguy42, reaches hof. I have posted my word, 99 days in a row, with him.
Kc guy lives 3 miles from me. He went through hell losing his job 4 weeks ago. I challenged him hard that night, and he kept his word. I gave mine this morning. How could I break it now? 4 weeks ago tonight we were frantically typing to one another while he was fighting the bitch.
One of my mentors, waketech, had almost the exact same experience. How could I let him down? He is a bad ass cop. I work for a booze company. For Christi's sake.... If he can do this, I can.
Today I reached out to a new quitter, gonehuntin. I could I do this to him? No way. He gave me his word. I gave him mine. No way.
I woke up quit. Ill go to sleep quit. Keep your guard up. Keep posting. I haven't had a crave for many many days. Today was a big win. Jake. Erussell. Jayhawk. Gamecock. Scott. Toolshed. Jhawth. Davemo. Derk. Ob. Nick. Guido. Iufan. Kjstout. Itsgottohappen. Sportsfan. And so many others. I gave every one of you and everyone else on this site my word today first thing, and goddamn it I kept it! Fuck you bitch!!!!!! Ill tske my brothers and sisters on this site over you any day!
Thank to all of you.

So.... Here I am on day 201. I've fought the fight. I've quit. Through the fog! I've lost 60 lbs and changed all my bad ways! Life is good!!! Came clean to wife and she is proud! Craves, what are you talking about?
Around 4pm some colleagues that I used to work with invited me out for drinks. I went and all was going great. Then one of them pulled out an e cigarette. Told me that it was dr pepper flavored. Yummy! Sooo safe! Sooo cheap!!! No danger! He puffed! He looked so happy. Offered it to me.
5 seconds of hell followed. Tomorrow the first guy I reached out to, flguy42, reaches hof. I have posted my word, 99 days in a row, with him.
Kc guy lives 3 miles from me. He went through hell losing his job 4 weeks ago. I challenged him hard that night, and he kept his word. I gave mine this morning. How could I break it now? 4 weeks ago tonight we were frantically typing to one another while he was fighting the bitch.
One of my mentors, waketech, had almost the exact same experience. How could I let him down? He is a bad ass cop. I work for a booze company. For Christi's sake.... If he can do this, I can.
Today I reached out to a new quitter, gonehuntin. I could I do this to him? No way. He gave me his word. I gave him mine. No way.
I woke up quit. Ill go to sleep quit. Keep your guard up. Keep posting. I haven't had a crave for many many days. Today was a big win. Jake. Erussell. Jayhawk. Gamecock. Scott. Toolshed. Jhawth. Davemo. Derk. Ob. Nick. Guido. Iufan. Kjstout. Itsgottohappen. Sportsfan. And so many others. I gave every one of you and everyone else on this site my word today first thing, and goddamn it I kept it! Fuck you bitch!!!!!! Ill tske my brothers and sisters on this site over you any day!
Thank to all of you.

Have you seen that ecig commercial. The guy talks about how it doesn't do this, that, and the other. Then at the end he says it's time to take our freedom back.
I couldn't believe it. How many people fall for that statement. Everytime i hear that commercial i'm like wtf are you talking about you imbecile.
Great job worktowin. Proud of you man. I'm a little over 50 behind you,, don't never let me catch you man. Quit with you anyday.

That e-cig is an evil trap. A close friend is tied to that think like flies on a shit pile. It is her crack pipe. Probably hits it every 30-60 seconds. It is so sad. She quit smoking with that little "tool". Taking her freedom back, uhhh, I don't think so. She is the worst nicotine addict I have ever seen. Lick it, slam it, suck it, snort it, smoke it, patch it, it doesn't really matter, it is all the same. Nicotine is a thief, a liar, and a killer in any form. We must stay away, we have come to far to even consider it.
Congrats on 200 worktowin, and congrats on the victory today. You have been a steady and even keeled constant in my quit. Always there, always positive, always pressing forward toward the goal we share. Living life freely without the bondage of nicotine. Damn proud to be quit with you worktowin.

Well, here I am on day 206. This morning I set the alarm early so I can go to the gym for an hour after I post roll and before I go to work. So, I woke up, posted roll, got the dog up, and decided to walk him down the stairs. Took about 3 steps in the yard... And my damn sprinklers came on. Pretty much took a direct hit. Soaked from head to toe on about 3 seconds.
So what, you say? Well, I year ago I would have shouted a bunch of four letter words and stormed in the house. And I would have needed a big time fix of nicotine after that. I probably would have muttered some rude words under my breath to my wife and taken a long shower with a big fat lip to recover. This morning I stood there for a second and started laughing. Then the wet dog and I ran back inside. And now I'm gonna head to the gym. Gonna sweat anyway, what's the difference?
A year ago everything was a trigger. I didn't own my life. An addiction owned me and more of my actions than I even still understand. Day 206... Damn it feels good to be myself.

See man told you "You are the real deal" I like to read your posts I have noticed in my rookie quit that I have had a bunch of moments like that when the old me would have loaded up the dip and pounded coffee on top to keep the pouch producing the foul brown juice.
But this site has helped me realize that when you get an adrenaline spike it kills your nicotine level which requires the user to pacify his cells or risk the suck...
Old me would have said it relaxes me but no I dont like pain so I kept the level up.
Thanks again for the good am read.

I am glad to see I am not the only one that feels like this about some things now. I too have found things that used to be triggers for a fix are now amusing.

Awesome post worktowin. So true about the triggers. We were such fools to think that dip soooo much for us. It didnt do shit, we just bought into the lie.
Happy as hell to be quit with you. Why stop now? I guess we should juse continue heading up to the 3rd floor.

I am glad to see I am not the only one that feels like this about some things now. I too have found things that used to be triggers for a fix are now amusing.
NICK
Its so nice to not have the burden of trying to find time to get away from people and throw in a lipper. Nice work ! And good look with the crazy bastards in Michigan on your team...
Awesome post worktowin. So true about the triggers. We were such fools to think that dip soooo much for us. It didnt do shit, we just bought into the lie.
Happy as hell to be quit with you. Why stop now? I guess we should juse continue heading up to the 3rd floor.

Great read my friend. I read this after mowing my lawn. One of the triggers i have fought off and now own. I use to think certain things went together. How can you mow without the poison.
I do it all the time, its easy. Post roll early and just do it. The yard has never looked better. I could use a sprinkler system. If yours ever pisses you off to bad i got the yard for it. Quit with you today.

Day 216. Today's post is gonna be a rambling one, but hopefully you'll understand.
First, 200 days ago I joined this site. Why? Well, I woke up that morning, 16 days into what was sure to be another nicotine break, and was a mess. I didn't know what day it was. Did I get my mom a Christmas gift? Did I see my family out of town at Christmas a few weeks earlier? Was there a Christmas? I was sleeping all the time. I missed the Kodiak bear sooooo bad. He was my friend. He would make me feel better. Did I eat breakfast? He was a good friend.
Going out of my mind. Seriously. So, after lurking around for a few days earlier I finally joined. Several people reached out, and pushed me through that hurdle. Then instarted reading the intros....
Can I even tell you what a load of complete bullshit I thought they were? I mean, here were guys (and a few girls!!) talking about how their lives were better and they feel better and their outlook is better and their.... They just kept going on and on. Most of these stories were around day 150 or more. Total bullshit! All they did was stop a habit. Not even a really bad one. God I miss the bear. What day is it. Just a habit. No big deal.
Well, this morning, 200 days after that completely fucked up period of my life, I get it. It isn't bullshit. I logged on this morning and read Srans talking about how he can focus at work and get through crisis situations better. 200 days ago I would have muttered "bullshit" but today I'm nodding my head. To the guys I (using my inside voice) called bullshitters - you have my complete respect.
Earlier this week I went to a royals game. That was one of the few places where I could chew and not hide it. Cool guys chewed at the k! So, I'm sitting there with a bunch of people from work and they start flashing pictures of fans on the jumbo tron. A father smiling with his little girl, who has on a ball glove. A really really old couple in royals tshirts. A shirtless guy with royals painted on his chest. And then... A kinda fat guy. Sitting alone. Looking absolutely miserable. Spitting into a bottle. I can't get the vision out of my mind. That was me. He looked so sad - and all of the other people looked so happy. God I'm glad that isn't me any more!
Final rant of the day. This week I met kc guy. He is so much younger and smarter than me. Why didn't I quit when I was that young? Anyway, he said "looking at you, I would never have guessed you chewed so much!" I've been thinking about that. When I met ob in Wichita I thought "I would never have guessed he chewed that much." This addiction is a sneaky one. We are all different but the same.
Thanks to all of you for letting me ramble on today. And thanks to ktc ...

I'm glad you shared this. I needed to hear it today. I'm in the stage where I haven't been quit long enough to say I'm in the "good" spot but long enough to feel like I've been in a long war. I needed to be reminded that with enough time, it will get good. Thank you!

Thanks for ranting outloud in here brother. It really helps me and others that aren't as far along in our quits. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I used to dip like a mofo at Royals games myself. I didnt care who was around or who saw it. Talk about a dumbass.
Keep showing us "youngens" how it is done worktowin. I will quit with you anyday bro.

Worktowin has led me through some really shitty days. In a twisted way, I'm glad that worktowin had to go through those phases. Because he did, he is equipped to guide shitheads like me through the fog. I'm glad for it - in a twisted way!

As you have mentioned, I get more mad everyday about the time/money/life, et. fucking all that I have wasted because of nicotine.
Today, I was telling someone how long I had been quit and they mentioned how they admired it. As I thought about it, what I wanted to say is that you wouldn't admire all the wasted time and money and effort, etc., etc., etc., I have blown through. I certainly don't admire it.
Anyway - just wanted to vent to you because you had been talking about this and it hadn't hit home just yet for me - the anger. But now I think it is home to roost.
I see all these new guys everyday posting their day one. Some dudes have humbling, scary stories. And yet a new dude buys his first can at the same damn time somewhere.
So, anyway it does piss me off. I've noticed guys buying a can at the store, and I just want to grab them and say what the fuck are you doing dude? It don't look cool, you are wasting yourself and your resources.
You mentioned how you were angry - I'm getting it more and more. Too bad it took this long for me, I don't admire it!
Later

265 days. Time for a look back....
265 days ago I felt terrible. I slept all the time. Had no energy. Was miserable and irritable. Life was a grind... Go to work, work hard, come home, collapse, start over. Chew at every point in between when I could.
Went to the doctor in December and was told why I felt terrible. High blood pressure, out of control diabetes, high cholesterol, low t, low blood o2, too much alcohol, too much of the wrong food, and... I chewed. On December 24th I took my life back.
The first month was hell. My withdrawals were miserable, I missed the sugary desserts, the rich potatoes, the never ending booze. But mostly the kodiak. The fog blanketed me for over a month. Still, every morning at 5 I went to the gym. I maintained my diet regimen, and I kept posting roll every day. The month turned into months. I made friends on this site. I've met several of you, and my commitment strengthened.
This week at work started with a lot of change. In the end - all good change - but still change. 265 days ago I would have barricaded myself in my office and opened a can - probably 2. This week I battened down and worked through the situation. And I'll do the same next week. No complaining, no agitation or irritability, just push through it! Control what I can control - let the rest go!
Later this week I went for a return trip to the doctor. My doctor is a young athletic type. He started laughing when he walked in. Said that he wouldnt have recognized me. Confirmed that I threw all of my meds out 3 months ago, and then told me my results were crazy excellent. Better than his own results. I've lost almost 60 lbs and gained a lot of muscle, turned every bad result to the good, stuck with the exercise and diet, but here is the thing...
None of that would have mattered if I still chewed. Here is why... In the end, that Kodiak bear ruled my life. I would have come up with an excuse to skip the gym so I could chew. And i could sneak some extra chew in the car if i drove thru mcdonalds for dinner instead of going home and making a salad. My time management was all built around maximizing my relationship with tobacco. My win this week is thanks to a pyramid of change - but my commitment to each of you every day is the base of the pyramid.
I cannot put into words to each of you that have led me, walked with me, or have given me the pleasure to walk with you thru what has been a life changing experience have done for me. Quitting has changed and saved my life.
Thank you to my ktc family--- I could not have done this without you.

I will quit with your badass any day of the week bro. You help and inspire so many people here. Keep doing what you do. You da man.

Proud of you for all your hard work to make such huge changes happen in your life thankyou for all the positive help you've given me too.

Damn proud to be quit with you. I suspect it only gets better. What do you say we just keep on walking this road and see what is over that next hill.
Before we know it, those months will have turned into years, and the shackles of nicotine will be but a distant memory. It is then, that we will need each other most. In case one of us should become complacent or forget what it means to be an addict.
Enjoy your new found freedom Worktowin, but keep your quit close and keep your guard up always. Remember all the quit in the world can be given back in the blink of an eye, one bad decision, one drunken night, etc, etc,. Like they say, we are never more than a dip away from being back to a tin a day. NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON. Quit with you today.

265 days. Time for a look back....
265 days ago I felt terrible. I slept all the time. Had no energy. Was miserable and irritable. Life was a grind... Go to work, work hard, come home, collapse, start over. Chew at every point in between when I could.
Went to the doctor in December and was told why I felt terrible. High blood pressure, out of control diabetes, high cholesterol, low t, low blood o2, too much alcohol, too much of the wrong food, and... I chewed. On December 24th I took my life back.
The first month was hell. My withdrawals were miserable, I missed the sugary desserts, the rich potatoes, the never ending booze. But mostly the kodiak. The fog blanketed me for over a month. Still, every morning at 5 I went to the gym. I maintained my diet regimen, and I kept posting roll every day. The month turned into months. I made friends on this site. I've met several of you, and my commitment strengthened.
This week at work started with a lot of change. In the end - all good change - but still change. 265 days ago I would have barricaded myself in my office and opened a can - probably 2. This week I battened down and worked through the situation. And I'll do the same next week. No complaining, no agitation or irritability, just push through it! Control what I can control - let the rest go!
Later this week I went for a return trip to the doctor. My doctor is a young athletic type. He started laughing when he walked in. Said that he wouldnt have recognized me. Confirmed that I threw all of my meds out 3 months ago, and then told me my results were crazy excellent. Better than his own results. I've lost almost 60 lbs and gained a lot of muscle, turned every bad result to the good, stuck with the exercise and diet, but here is the thing...
None of that would have mattered if I still chewed. Here is why... In the end, that Kodiak bear ruled my life. I would have come up with an excuse to skip the gym so I could chew. And i could sneak some extra chew in the car if i drove thru mcdonalds for dinner instead of going home and making a salad. My time management was all built around maximizing my relationship with tobacco. My win this week is thanks to a pyramid of change - but my commitment to each of you every day is the base of the pyramid.

I absolutely love posts like this. This is the kind of post that kept me going when I was in my 2nd and 3rd week (EVEN LONGER). These kind of posts let me know there were better days ahead.
I remember thinking, is It true? When will I come around this quit corner? When will the bumps subside and the turns become less frequent. When will I get my mind back. The roller coaster of quit sucks.
Then someone would put a post out there like this one. This post right here lets you know that everything does get easier. Everything does get so much better. Being quit it going to be so much better than this slave driven life that I was living....
I to, feel like work towin and got2 now and I can tell you that it is so worth it. I feel like a new person. My wife and kids see a different and better person. Everyone that knows me sees a different, but better person. I like this new person. This person is in so much more control of his life. This person is so much healthier.
If work towin and got2 don't mind, I would like to continue down this quit road with them. I sure am liking this road so much better than the last road I was on.
Glad to be quit with you gentlemen. Everyone out there early in your quit,,, It gets so much better,,,, BELIEVE IT!! Stay the course,, you WON'T be SORRY!!!!

Day 287. Woke up early as usual. Went out to a crazy nice restaurant last night and had a few too many drinks. Watched tv for a while. Made breakfast. Went to church. Went to the gym to a killer weights class. Then back to church... It is pet blessing day in honor of st francis, and my dog needs all the blessings he can get. Day started out great! A crisp 50 degrees here in the Midwest. Life is good.
Took the wife to Costco to buy a couple of things. Turned into 220$. How does that always happen? So we put everything in the car and start home. About 10 miles later I notice she is frantic... And says omg!! Where is my purse?!?!
I slam on the brakes and turn around. Think I hit 100mph on the interstate headed back (we took her car - my Hyundai wouldn't break 80 I'm sure.). Pulled up next to the cart return - no purse. She runs inside and I could feel the rage building. We've all been here - in one situation or another. She comes out with purse in hand. A miracle.
287 days ago I would have dropped her off at home and driven around for hours. Gone thru one can. Maybe 2. I would have been more angry when I got home than I was when I dropped her off. This would go on for days. Today I drove around for about 15 mins. Texted my nicotine free friend mike (in Alberta Canada) and told him about it. And now I'm heading home. Nicotine never entered my mind, and looking back at the past... I really can't believe it ever did. To those of you on dat 2, day 10, day 50... Life gets soooooo much better. Hang tough. You'll ever regret it.
I'll be civil when I get home. And I'll get back to my great day. I keep saying this... But this whole process has really changed my whole outlook on life. Thanks for listening...

Dude, it's Costco, even as a single guy I can't go in there not come out with 3 figures worth of stuff. I swear they keep the stores that full all the time just so when you're running around with the oversized buggy you just keep throwing things in. After all who wants to wait in the line again? :D
I think by this story, both you the dog are very blessed today.
Proud of you bro. Both for the way you handled the situation today, and for posting up this story to share with others.
Yes we've all been there at one time or another. Some major (or sometimes not so major) life stress gets in good we hit the can. I think alot of us as dippers are independent guys that want to be in control of every situation cool as a cucumber, while we previously believed a can was helping us do that when in reality it wasn't.
You want to be truly in control of a situation your emotions? As you knew before, was reinforced today, the way to do it is nic free. I'm only starting to learn that now.
LOL I'm sure you meant that as 'never' regret it, being nic free that is :D yes you're right you'll never regret it. Day 48 today I can hardly wait for things to get better because I know they are!
Never again my friend. I'm still amazed at how much a guy's whole outlook can change. I really didn't expect the mental side of this at all, honestly had no idea.

Day 300
I don't even know where to start. 300 days ago my life was honestly a mess. I had the same great wife, same great job, same nice house and stuff, but I was miserable. My health was in shambles, and I was controlled by a powerful opponent. I made a lot of lifestyle changes on Christmas Eve. A lot. But compared to the battle against nicotine, they were all a cakewalk. I had no idea how much control nicotine had over me. The first 50 days were miserable. The next 50 were a fight, but not miserable. The next 50 were sort of a downer after hof. My April 2013 group shrank after hof and it was kind of a rough time to navigate as you watch people you have fought a battle with leave. And then... Nirvana!
One day it just all came together. I feel amazing, and today I am incredibly humbled. Without each of you, I would not be where I am today. Life is so much better than I ever imagined. So good, that about 30 minutes ago I finally told my wife the extent of my addiction. We both sat on the couch and tears were running down both of our faces. She was shocked, and disappointed. I don't blame her - I would be too. But she is also happy and proud of me. And she started connecting a lot of dots.... That's why you used to take so many showers. That's why you bought gas at 1030. That's why I could never touch your suitcase....
It was time. And so today, a new milestone has been achieved. True freedom.
I owe each of you a depth of gratitude. I am a pretty confident (arrogant) guy. But this I could not do alone. 300 is just the beginning, but right now I have a sense of freedom that I can truly say I have never felt before. Thank you.

Well done buddy. I have been very glad to have you along for the ride.
I agree with you 100%, life is so much better without the poison. I realize now that it was never a crutch, just an anchor. It was always just an anchor.
Proud to be quit with you Worktowin, never again for any reason.

Day 322. My 42nd birthday.
1986 was the last time I had a birthday cake without nicotine in my system. Well, until today! Chernobyl melted down that year. Microsoft started selling stock. Geraldo wasted all of our time trying to break into Al Capones tomb. The space shuttle exploded. And lady gaga was born. I cannot believe I chewed that long. Just cannot believe it.
Last night I decided to clean out my old shoes. While sorting them out, I picked up my pair of funeral/interview shoes. I haven't needed to wear those in a long time. They are uncomfortable and dorky. You probably have a pair, right? Well, three little gifts slid out of those sweaty uncomfortable shoes. Three new cans of kodiak.
I sat there stunned. How sad had my life been that I hid plant in my sweaty shoes? Pathetic. I opened the cans and flushed them. God that stuff smells terrible! I hadn't faced the enemy like that in almost a year. How did I shove that in my face for that long? I spent $40,000 on it? Got angry then, and shoved the cans back in those shoes and threw them out. Never liked those shoes anyway. Seemed like a good coffin for those cans too.
Happy birthday ktc. Thank you for giving me a birthday where I am no longer a slave. Thanks to all of you that have gotten me to a much better place in life. The support system on this site is the real deal. This has been an interesting week on this site, but I trust the admins completely. Their decision 7 years ago built this house of quit, and their decisions since have maintained it. We all owe them a world of gratitude today.

"Geraldo wasted all of our time trying to break into Al Capones tomb"
Holy crap that was in 1986? I remember watching that when I was a kid. It was really hyped up. Of course we didn't have cable back then or 200+ channels, or the internet so there wasn't much else to watch.
I started flirting with the crap a couple years after you and by 1989 when I was 16, had my own vehicle and could drive to certain stores that would sell to minors, I was a full fledged addict. What I wouldn't give to have a time machine and go back and kick the crap out that stupid kid I was.

Their decision 7 years ago built this house of quit, and their decisions since have maintained it. We all owe them a world of gratitude today.
Happy Birthday brother
Happy Birthday Brother. It's crazy to think about the things we used to do while dipping. I'm proud to be quit with you. QLF with worktowin every day.
Happy Birthday brother! Enjoy the sweaty....I mean sweet taste of freedom today!
Happy Birthday brother. Because of your Geraldo reference I think I should throw a chair at you today to check your older reflexes. Have an awesome birthday brother!
"Geraldo wasted all of our time trying to break into Al Capones tomb"
Holy crap that was in 1986? I remember watching that when I was a kid. It was really hyped up. Of course we didn't have cable back then or 200+ channels, or the internet so there wasn't much else to watch.
I started flirting with the crap a couple years after you and by 1989 when I was 16, had my own vehicle and could drive to certain stores that would sell to minors, I was a full fledged addict. What I wouldn't give to have a time machine and go back and kick the crap out that stupid kid I was.
Happy Birthday W2w hell of a recap of history...and your sweaty coffin hell a year plus ago you would have been doing a face plant in those nasty shoes to get your face full. Nice baby keep the +1's happening we need cats like you here.

Day 322. My 42nd birthday.
1986 was the last time I had a birthday cake without nicotine in my system. Well, until today! Chernobyl melted down that year. Microsoft started selling stock. Geraldo wasted all of our time trying to break into Al Capones tomb. The space shuttle exploded. And lady gaga was born. I cannot believe I chewed that long. Just cannot believe it.
Last night I decided to clean out my old shoes. While sorting them out, I picked up my pair of funeral/interview shoes. I haven't needed to wear those in a long time. They are uncomfortable and dorky. You probably have a pair, right? Well, three little gifts slid out of those sweaty uncomfortable shoes. Three new cans of kodiak.
I sat there stunned. How sad had my life been that I hid plant in my sweaty shoes? Pathetic. I opened the cans and flushed them. God that stuff smells terrible! I hadn't faced the enemy like that in almost a year. How did I shove that in my face for that long? I spent $40,000 on it? Got angry then, and shoved the cans back in those shoes and threw them out. Never liked those shoes anyway. Seemed like a good coffin for those cans too.

Happy Birthday Brother. It's crazy to think about the things we used to do while dipping. I'm proud to be quit with you. QLF with worktowin every day.
Happy Birthday brother! Enjoy the sweaty....I mean sweet taste of freedom today!
Happy Birthday brother. Because of your Geraldo reference I think I should throw a chair at you today to check your older reflexes. Have an awesome birthday brother!
"Geraldo wasted all of our time trying to break into Al Capones tomb"
Holy crap that was in 1986? I remember watching that when I was a kid. It was really hyped up. Of course we didn't have cable back then or 200+ channels, or the internet so there wasn't much else to watch.
I started flirting with the crap a couple years after you and by 1989 when I was 16, had my own vehicle and could drive to certain stores that would sell to minors, I was a full fledged addict. What I wouldn't give to have a time machine and go back and kick the crap out that stupid kid I was.
Happy Birthday W2w hell of a recap of history...and your sweaty coffin hell a year plus ago you would have been doing a face plant in those nasty shoes to get your face full. Nice baby keep the +1's happening we need cats like you here.
Best flush ever! 'flush'
Happy first birthday without nic my friend! Have a good one!
Happy Birthday w2w!
Happy Quit Birthday worktowin!!
Welcome to the Best of Your life.
Very glad you are here.
I wish you a happy birthday. Mine is not to far off and i will be happy to share another mile stone with you.
This post kicks ass. What a testament to quitting this garbage!
Happy birthday - sorry it is belated by a day! And thanks for all the support you have given me in my quit. You helped put that shitty fog into the right perspective. Without that kind of support, I may not made 10 days! Thank you.
Awesome post W2W, thanks for sharing. Happy birthday!! Hope you had a great day. It has been and continues to be an honor to be on this ride with you. Battling the bitch one day at time, and basking in our new found freedom.
Happy 42nd my Dear Friend Michael!!! You have been an inspiration during my quit and I am proud to be on your quit team...
Bad Assery of quit right there.

Day 322. My 42nd birthday.
1986 was the last time I had a birthday cake without nicotine in my system. Well, until today! Chernobyl melted down that year. Microsoft started selling stock. Geraldo wasted all of our time trying to break into Al Capones tomb. The space shuttle exploded. And lady gaga was born. I cannot believe I chewed that long. Just cannot believe it.
Last night I decided to clean out my old shoes. While sorting them out, I picked up my pair of funeral/interview shoes. I haven't needed to wear those in a long time. They are uncomfortable and dorky. You probably have a pair, right? Well, three little gifts slid out of those sweaty uncomfortable shoes. Three new cans of kodiak.
I sat there stunned. How sad had my life been that I hid plant in my sweaty shoes? Pathetic. I opened the cans and flushed them. God that stuff smells terrible! I hadn't faced the enemy like that in almost a year. How did I shove that in my face for that long? I spent $40,000 on it? Got angry then, and shoved the cans back in those shoes and threw them out. Never liked those shoes anyway. Seemed like a good coffin for those cans too.
Happy birthday ktc. Thank you for giving me a birthday where I am no longer a slave. Thanks to all of you that have gotten me to a much better place in life. The support system on this site is the real deal. This has been an interesting week on this site, but I trust the admins completely. Their decision 7 years ago built this house of quit, and their decisions since have maintained it. We all owe them a world of gratitude today.

I spent 48 minutes typing the web site you sent, from my flip phone into my computer. Finally I got all the //// and ---------right and it let me read the article. All I have to say, is that you my friend, are one hell of an inspiration to myself and others. I hope you will post the link to the article so others might read and be motivated. It didn't mention you biggest accomplishment that of being a bad ass nicotine quitter though?

That is a bad ass accomplishment. Being published and getting in shape. Unreal! Multiple levels of inspiration there!

Interesting day yesterday.
Around noon I get a call on my cell from someone I had supported on this site like crazy. A serial caver. He told, that again, he caved. Those of you that know me at all know that I don't like failure and that I support winners. I think this dude is the only person I've supported that has failed and not returned successfully, and it was driving me crazy. Until yesterday.
Because as I sat there and listened to his nonsense about stress, anxiety, and how he just didn't know why he went and bought that cigar and smoked it... I thought back to several of you that have shared your own stories of stress, money problems, job problems, marriage problems, anxiety... But you all kept your word.
Quitting is hard, but you can so anything one day at a time. If you are a man or woman of your word. If you have no integrity, this site isn't for you. And neither is the endless support of those of us on this site. The long and short of this rant is.... You need help, it's here for the asking. But if you wanna be shackled by nicotine, buzz off. We've got better things to do.

Sorry W2W. It can become frustrating to see those that you have supported, fail. But please dont forget, that is their failure and not yours. A while back I realized that almost every newbie I had offered support to failed and disappeared. I had a habit of picking people up on day 1 or 2 and well, you know how that goes sometimes. I quit supporting for a while but that was wrong and shortsighted.
Thanks for all you do for this community. Please do not stop or slow down. You have helped many people and continue to be a strong presence in our group, at the same time support many groups around the site.
I could not agree more with your last line. You want to use nicotine that is your business, you want to quit? Well that is our business. You can't save them all W2W. People have to really want it bad. We know this quitting all too well. It is not for the faint of heart. Let's focus our attention on those that need it most. I don't know about you, but I am drawn to those new quitters that are crying out for help and who don't think it is possible. I suppose that is because that was me nearly one year ago.
Quit on.

There is no good reason for a cave, a cave is decision that person made to once again allow the nic bitch back into their life.......period. Like you said w2w many of us have our day to day struggles, life will continue to happen to us, but we can still keep our promise today. Quitters find a way to stay quit today!
I'll quit with you guys again today! QFQQ

Today I will remain quit with these fine gentlemen. Post roll and keep your word,, NO EXCUSE!!!!!

Hope? I thought hope was a fat hippopotamus? Just kidding Nick.
But really, there is no "hope", and there is no "try". And I know that you both know this. Of course we will all do another year together.
Congrats to both of you on one year. It really is an excellent start.
One day at a time we shall climb our way to another year, but don't forget, that task starts tomorrow, and we can only get there by doing what got us here, posting up a solid run of plus ones.

W2W congrats bro wow one year man. You have taken the principles of KTC and taken it to a hirer level. Your accomplishments for the last you have raised the bar for all of us at KTC I am proud to quit w you qlf edd

365 days? Is this for real?
365 days ago I ran out of kodiak. 10 days or so earlier my dr more or less said adios to me. Every test result was a disaster. So, 365 +10 days ago I set out to change my life. Diet and exercise were no problem. But for 10 more days I carefully rationed out my kodiak. My "friend". I measured it out like I'm sure a heroin addict would.
One year later... I cannot thank this site or it's members enough. I an finally free. Tonight I went to a work party and watched people drink and smoke, and I felt sorry for then. I saw people chew and I felt pity. But for me I felt pride. And a sense of responsibility. Tonight I was offered cigars and e cigs. But, i gave my word earlier that no nicotine would hit this body today. So saying no was easy.
I cannot thank each of you enough. I really cannot. 365 days ago I was a wreck. I was a shell. Miserable. A slave. This site and each of you saved me. I am humbled and honored. 1 year is just the start. I'm am an addict. But one day at a time I give my word to myself and each of you. That Kodiak bear can kiss my ass. Cause he sure as shit won't get anymore from me. Fuck you nicotine. I'll post 366 tomorrow. You'll need to find a different target!
-
Great job man. We don't talk much but I know who you are. I know what you do everyday. What you do strengthens my quit. That is the true beauty of KTC - influence and support without it even being a conscious effort. Great 365 bro! 366 tomorrow.
-
Congrats on 365. One year is for true playas. Well done sir. Keep up the quit!!!
-
Proud to be quit with you for the last year! Keep on rocking in the free world!
-
This is a late, and much deserved, congrats on one year of success, one day at a time. And tons of help given to fellow quitters along the way. Way to go!
-
Awesome! 'oh yeah'
-
Man... you seem so surprised. I'm only suprised its only been 1 year. You have been such a great support in my quit, seemed like such a pro quitter, I assumed you must have been like 10 years quit... :D So glad to be quit with you, congratulations man!
-
I stand on the side line and bow to a man that has more of my respect than I can ever describe in words! So I won't try, I will simply say "Congrats to a total Badass"

Hi guys. 40 year old professional guy here. Started dipping at 16. Like all of you - wow... That first dip I still remember like it was yesterday. Like the best roller coaster ever. Been using a can every day for 24 years. Add that up m-fers... That is a new Lexus I spit out over 24 years. Had a physical a few weeks ago and need to make some diet and exercise changes, so why not get all of this ugliness done at once? First few days I slept all the time. The fog is unreal and I'm still in it. Have been able to function and work but still feel out of it. I, like you, read the 100 reasons to quit and probably could relate to 80% of them. I had some great times with the bear, but never again. I've hidden this from family and friends for years and am now 2 weeks in. Every time I think about it I log in and read your stories - they make it real and give the extra push I need. I'll be to 100 days soon and when the fog clears I look forward to cheering my fellow brothers on. Thanks for your support.
A year ago today I stumbled to this site as a foggy headed confused and terrified quitter, 16 days in to what was sure to be another little nicotine break for me. Looking back, I didn't even post the correct age... I was 41 when I posted. Thanks to all of you that have changed and saved my life. I knew I needed to quit, but the positive changes and friendships I have gained as a result of joining this group of addicts made this one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Thanks KTC!

Thanks for all of the congrats today. Every milestone gets easier, and life is soooo much better with every one. I smile more, worry less, and just seem more at peace. Almost like a yoga class all the time, lol. I know some of you are struggling - thinking that the hell you are in, with the craves, the fog, the anger... Will never end...
It will get better! Keep following the plan, one day at a time. 399 days ago I would never have thought today would be possible.
It is.
I'll see all of you that keep me accountable and honorable on the roll in the morning. Day 401. Accountability + brotherhood = success. And I'm living it thanks to this site, the admins and moderators that built this house of quit, and the men and women of ktc that have made me a better and more honorable man than I that possible.
Thank you!!!

I'm a day late due to the road trip yesterday.
400 days.....
Nice work brother! Here's to a few more +1s together 'Cheers'

Day 432. Another day where I'll post my promise to you all and keep my word.
Life is great. Work is crazy busy and getting busier - just the way I like it! I have a great team that works with me that makes it a pleasure to go to work. As time goes by, I am trying to be more observant about how nicotine impacts those around me. One smokes constantly, but is clearly ashamed of it. She sneaks out and tries to get her fix stealth style. Really sad.... She is a great lady who is so addicted that she is spending time standing in a foot of snow with -20 wind chills to smoke 20+ cigarettes a day.
Another is married to a man that has dipped for 30+ years. He is crazy successful, with a high profile high travel/stress job. Everytime I see him his teeth look worse. She told me again this week about his terrible acid reflux and how his last "scare" turned out ok. Still chews like a fiend.
I am lucky to work with another member if this community - who quit a little over 100 days after I did. He gets it and understands what nicotine took from him. And he is taking it back - and living life like it is his again.
This week a new team member started. A really bright young guy. He hunts, fishes, drives some monster badass vehicle that would crush my little Hyundai flat. Anyway, he has been training with another staff member and I heard the other person tell new guy that his "dream is to raise tobacco and make chew that is flavored with bourbon or something like that when I win the lottery or retire." I was walking past his desk and literally stopped dead in my tracks. They both looked at me for a second but just carried in their conversation. Both of them thought it sounded like a great and cool idea.
Not really sure what the point of this rant is, but I think it is this.... If you stood at the right place in my office and fired a bullet, you would hit 2 guys that are beating nicotine a day at a time (after both having one hell of a bumpy start) along with 2 guys that seem to think tobacco is way cool (like the 2 of us used to). Another bullet would hit 2 women that are suffering in different way from nicotine addiction... One physically and one vicariously.
Today I have the day off. And so does my wife. We are gonna have a great day. I'm not gonna have to sneak off during the movie to "go to the bathroom". I won't have to hide a tin in my sock. I won't have to make an emergency run to "buy a lottery ticket." Today is mine. And to the team member that I bet is getting ready to post up in about 10 minutes... Today is yours too! We have a lot to be thankful for!
To the others - I think Mr T summed to up best... "I pity the fool."

Great post. Do we work at the same place and don't know it? I see the same things you see, just different people in a different environment. I'm thinking of snow right now, I don't know why?
I've also thought of growing my own tobacco in the past. 'bang head'. My thought was how much money I could save myself If I grew my own. OMG what an idiot! I thought like so many,,, quitting was impossible for me.
Now I'm 379 days quit. Don't put me in the middle of a tobacco field with gasoline and a lighter. Bad Idea! Glad to be quit with you my friend.

Great thoughts WT! At the very beginning of quitting seeing other dippers pissed me off. (I think I was jealous I couldn't have any) now that I am glimpsing the beauty beyond, I get sad when I see the ones still enslaved. If they only knew..... Quit with you today! Have a great day with the missus!

Great thoughts WT! At the very beginning of quitting seeing other dippers pissed me off. (I think I was jealous I couldn't have any) now that I am glimpsing the beauty beyond, I get sad when I see the ones still enslaved. If they only knew..... Quit with you today! Have a great day with the missus!
Now you can hide the sock in your pants and stand outside the theater....haha
Great read W2w...I still work with a guy who has been cutting back for as long as I have been quit. He still wont make that leap to being quit. He has 5 kids and is just a few years over 30 dips all day long everyday. Nice guy just wont quit. It is amazing to not have to hide dip sneak out have craves that drive a person out in 30 below temps to get a fix....Trauma 319

Day 432. Another day where I'll post my promise to you all and keep my word.
Life is great. Work is crazy busy and getting busier - just the way I like it!� I have a great team that works with me that makes it a pleasure to go to work. As time goes by, I am trying to be more observant about how nicotine impacts those around me. One smokes constantly, but is clearly ashamed of it. She sneaks out and tries to get her fix stealth style. Really sad.... She is a great lady who is so addicted that she is spending time standing in a foot of snow with -20 wind chills to smoke 20+ cigarettes a day.
Another is married to a man that has dipped for 30+ years. He is crazy successful, with a high profile high travel/stress job. Everytime I see him his teeth look worse. She told me again this week about his terrible acid reflux and how his last "scare" turned out ok. Still chews like a fiend.
I am lucky to work with another member if this community - who quit a little over 100 days after I did. He gets it and understands what nicotine took from him. And he is taking it back - and living life like it is his again.
This week a new team member started. A really bright young guy. He hunts, fishes, drives some monster badass vehicle that would crush my little Hyundai flat. Anyway, he has been training with another staff member and I heard the other person tell new guy that his "dream is to raise tobacco and make chew that is flavored with bourbon or something like that when I win the lottery or retire."� I was walking past his desk and literally stopped dead in my tracks. They both looked at me for a second but just carried in their conversation. Both of them thought it sounded like a great and cool idea.
Not really sure what the point of this rant is, but I think it is this.... If you stood at the right place in my office and fired a bullet, you would hit 2 guys that are beating nicotine a day at a time (after both having one hell of a bumpy start) along with 2 guys that seem to think tobacco is way cool (like the 2 of us used to). Another bullet would hit 2 women that are suffering in different way from nicotine addiction... One physically and one vicariously.
Today I have the day off. And so does my wife. We are gonna have a great day. I'm not gonna have to sneak off during the movie to "go to the bathroom". I won't have to hide a tin in my sock. I won't have to make an emergency run to "buy a lottery ticket."� Today is mine. And to the team member that I bet is getting ready to post up in about 10 minutes... Today is yours too!� We have a lot to be thankful for!�
To the others - I think Mr T summed to up best... "I pity the fool."
Great post. Do we work at the same place and don't know it? I see the same things you see, just different people in a different environment. I'm thinking of snow right now, I don't know why?
I've also thought of growing my own tobacco in the past. 'bang head'. My thought was how much money I could save myself If I grew my own. OMG what an idiot! I thought like so many,,, quitting was impossible for me.
Now I'm 379 days quit. Don't put me in the middle of a tobacco field with gasoline and a lighter. Bad Idea! Glad to be quit with you my friend.
Hiding it in my sock!

My lifelong friend Worktowin, Living in Kentucky I am surrounded by tobacco fields. I too think that we work in the same office. My Russian wife and I thank you for your support in the beginning and on a daily basis of my strong, bad ass quit. Very proud to be quit with you today.

I'm fortunate in that I'm not surrounded by dippers. I was the outcast, which made me work harder to master my ninja skills to hide the addiction I was so ashamed of. Now, after a mere 79 days, I have changed from the person I was. I'm not THAT guy,...the guy with the hidden tin, hidden upper lip dip, morning coffee with spill proof lid that I "drank" all day long. I'm much happier being this guy, the one who quits. And after reading this fantastic post, the piece I highlighted resonates with me most. Simple yet remarkably telling. When you're an active addict, it's never simple.

Wow, I did all of those same things, too. The funny thing is that we never realized how strongly it smelled. There are a couple of ninja dippers in my office. It stinks and you can smell it from five feet away!

Very nice post W2W. Killing it right beside you, one day at a time. Some days are easy, and occassionally some are hard, but they are all worth it, just as long as each day ends the way it begins, QUIT.

God! Nothing like being the one with the freedom! Your a bad ass and I'm glad to quit with you each day.

Thanks bro for being such a great friend inspiration over these past 6 months. So proud of how far you've come.
-
Thanks for the story my friend. You have been a relentless source of support throughy 205! Days of quit. Our sir 'get it' and for that, I wake up and quit with you every damn day!
I watched my brother and soon to be sister ad law duck out to suck on some cancer every 15 mins tonight. It saddens me to see it, but in the same instant, I feel proud of myself; for once, I am setting the example. Quit on my KC brother.

Day 454
Do any of you remember the villain Bizarro? The mirrored opposite of Superman? Well, this week it seems like a hell of a lot of brothers are taking the Bizarro approach to the Kill The Can quit system!
June 2014 seems to be another stop on a series of stops some of these serial stoppers are taking. Brothers from 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 all coming back to June. Why did they fail? Well, the 3 questions are always answered a little differently. By the way, don't take this entry in my intro as an answer any of these questions, because I haven't caved! But I do know why every single one of them failed. So I will answer for them...
Answer: They stopped posting.
I have, for 454 days, read every new intro post on this board. And well over 1,000 quitters have joined the ranks in the days since I joined. Only three caved after posting. Those 3 men had no integrity - they came back and left very quickly after coming back - these halls are not lined with men that lack integrity. I don't even count those three sociopaths in this lineup, but that still leaves an awful lot of cavers. What about them? EVERY. SINGLE. ONE... stopped posting. They got comfortable. They got busy. Who knows, who cares why.... they just stopped.
Many of us spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on insurance products every year. Insurance for our cars, our boats, our motorcycles, our eyes... teeth... lives... houses.... cats.... dogs.... 15 seconds a day is all that it takes to insure your quit. You post your promise. You keep your word (unless you are a sociopath.) Free insurance? What fucking moron would pass up a free insurance policy that pays you back every day you use it? Look around... lots of morons abound these days...
Bruce, BigWhiteBeast, DCHogs, MCarmo, Syndrome (who can't spell worth a shit LOL) and many, many others don't spend as much time on this board as they do because they are bored or have nothing else to do. They do it to pay it forward, and to insure their quit! Follow their lead, and success is guaranteed!
While I'm on the subject, I've seen a lot of kinda sappy "life is sure tough and it seems like nicotine might make it better but I know it won't so I'm not gonna cave" BS lately. Here are some of the "great" memories of nicotine that I have:
--gave me anxiety every time I went to the dentist
--was a key factor in a series of very serious health problems I have overcome
--took away at least an hour a day from my beautiful wife (ninja master here)
--probably ran up my water bill by $2,000 over 25 years since I took so many long showers to hide my addiction
--stole around forty thousand dollars (like smashing a new Lexus into a brick wall) from me
--gave me a fog that took away over a month of my life memories when I quit
--night sweats
--dip dreams
--remember the stomach problems for 30 after quitting??? Good memories there...
I could keep typing this list all day long. Nicotine didn't do one goddamn good thing for me, and... it didn't for you either. We are all different, but we are all alike. Next time one of you wants to romanticize nicotine or talk about caving, contact me and I'll beat some sense into you. It doesn't make you do yard work better, it doesn't make you hunt better, it doesn't do one positive good thing. Not one, and every single one of us knows it.
In case I wasn't clear earlier, I will close with this... you wanna quit? Post roll every day. NOT every day to 100. NOT every day until your group all hits 100. Not to 200. Not to 500. Not to 1000. Post roll every damn day! Take the time to care about yourself, your family, and your quit family. Its bad enough to take a shit on yourself by caving... but to shit on your entire group.... man that isn't what brotherhood is about.
Enough ranting for today. Quit on.

While I'm on the subject, I've seen a lot of kinda sappy "life is sure tough and it seems like nicotine might make it better but I know it won't so I'm not gonna cave" BS lately. Here are some of the "great" memories of nicotine that I have:
--gave me anxiety every time I went to the dentist
--was a key factor in a series of very serious health problems I have overcome
--took away at least an hour a day from my beautiful wife (ninja master here)
--probably ran up my water bill by $2,000 over 25 years since I took so many long showers to hide my addiction
--stole around forty thousand dollars (like smashing a new Lexus into a brick wall) from me
--gave me a fog that took away over a month of my life memories when I quit
--night sweats
--dip dreams
--remember the stomach problems for 30 after quitting??? Good memories there...
I could keep typing this list all day long. Nicotine didn't do one goddamn good thing for me, and... it didn't for you either. We are all different, but we are all alike. Next time one of you wants to romanticize nicotine or talk about caving, contact me and I'll beat some sense into you. It doesn't make you do yard work better, it doesn't make you hunt better, it doesn't do one positive good thing. Not one, and every single one of us knows it.
In case I wasn't clear earlier, I will close with this... you wanna quit? Post roll every day. NOT every day to 100. NOT every day until your group all hits 100. Not to 200. Not to 500. Not to 1000. Post roll every damn day! Take the time to care about yourself, your family, and your quit family. Its bad enough to take a shit on yourself by caving... but to shit on your entire group.... man that isn't what brotherhood is about.
Enough ranting for today. Quit on.
Great post. Thanks to you and all the vets who are setting a great example for those of us who are new to this.
Brilliant post. Read it if you want a quit-boost!
This is the coolest thing I have read here in a while worktowin! THANK YOU! The prescription for success is so simple! The failures do not want freedom bad enough. JUNE! Protect your quits! ;Ironman:

Day 454
Do any of you remember the villain Bizarro? The mirrored opposite of Superman? Well, this week it seems like a hell of a lot of brothers are taking the Bizarro approach to the Kill The Can quit system!
June 2014 seems to be another stop on a series of stops some of these serial stoppers are taking. Brothers from 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 all coming back to June. Why did they fail? Well, the 3 questions are always answered a little differently. By the way, don't take this entry in my intro as an answer any of these questions, because I haven't caved! But I do know why every single one of them failed. So I will answer for them...
Answer:Â They stopped posting.
I have, for 454 days, read every new intro post on this board. And well over 1,000 quitters have joined the ranks in the days since I joined. Only three caved after posting. Those 3 men had no integrity - they came back and left very quickly after coming back - these halls are not lined with men that lack integrity. I don't even count those three sociopaths in this lineup, but that still leaves an awful lot of cavers. What about them? EVERY. SINGLE. ONE... stopped posting. They got comfortable. They got busy. Who knows, who cares why.... they just stopped.Â

Damn Mike! 500 days! You are a BAD ASS in every sense of the word. I can say with complete conviction that I would not be here and quit today if you were not involved in my quit. I have had many moments where even I questioned what the hell I was thinking when I did or said something, But I have been able to count on you to call it the way it is and bring me back to center. Your quit has touched many lives. Who would have thought 2 Christmas's ago that making one of the hardest decisions would impact so many people for the good? Men here thank you, and I know some wives do as well. You have brought nothing but raw and strong quit to this place. And I for one NEEDED to see you hit 500 today. Keep going forward and we will follow along. I will quit with you all day long!
P.S...... Why do wives like you so much? :D

Damn Mike! 500 days! You are a BAD ASS in every sense of the word. I can say with complete conviction that I would not be here and quit today if you were not involved in my quit. I have had many moments where even I questioned what the hell I was thinking when I did or said something, But I have been able to count on you to call it the way it is and bring me back to center.

You my friend make sense when no one else has any sense. 500 days ago a half comma made no sense, but now it makes total sense. Am i making any sense? Quit with you any day.

2:12 pm here in the Midwest. I'm sitting at a samdwich shop chowing down on something quick before heading back to the office for more nonsensical fire drills, and I decided to log in. I'm sitting here smiling over a half eaten subpar roast beef sandwich for a couple of reasons :
1. Jake - to answer your question... Wives like me because I am hotter than donut grease to the female half of the population. And some of the male half too, but I don't participate in their interest. Just saying.
2. Because general happiness and calm seems to be the new normal.
Point one is obvious, but point two isn't. 500 days ago I was miserable. 499 days ago I thought I had been hit repeatedly by a truck. Then came the fog of death that lasted a hell of a long time. But I stayed with the program, posting every day and believing those that came before me that things would get better. One day at a time, with the support of all of you, I am reaching numbers that not that long ago seemed like some sort of the impossible. Now , I am reaping the rewards and loving life.
If you are new and reading this, I am not "a special butterfly". I suffered the suck just like you are. I didn't think it would ever get better. I dreamed of dip. I avoided convenience stores for 6 months. I had night sweats ... Chills... You name it, and I probably had it. And today I'm really glad that every one of those shitty things happened to me. Because, one day at a time , with my brothers and sisters if ktc, they will never happen to me again.
I post my promise, and I keep my word.
Thank you to everyone in this board. You guys (and girls) saved my life and made it worth living. I wouldn't be here today without every one of you, and I will be here tomorrow (God willing) to post a fantastic day 501.
Thank you!

2 weeks ago I flew to Detroit to meet 3 men from my April 2013 group. I've texted all of them. Talked to one 6 or seven times. I stayed with Ryan and his family in their beautiful new house. We drank beer in the backyard and worked on some landscaping together. Nick and Ron showed up later and we piled in his parents minivan and went to watch my royals spank their tigers. Redtrain, amrmaya2, and deeznb showed up for for the game as well.
This was a trip that I will never forget. These men fought a battle alongside me, in different parts of the country, and we share a strong bond. Nick and I quit on the same day - Christmas Eve. We chatted a lot because of the coincidence. Ryan's intro struck a chord with me - he verbalized the misery all of us were living but couldn't put into words. And Ron was like a machine keeping Aprils bumps fixed and the spreadsheet in perfect order at all times. 500+ days later we were happy. We were together celebrating a good time. And we are moving forward. Ron announced Tony Gwynn's death as we were en route to the game. An awkward silence struck this motley crew as we absorbed the news. There but by the grace of god go I...
This week has been one of change for ktc. Many of us were shaken and fearful, and we as humans normally are when change falls upon us. But, change moves us forward. Challenges lead to growth. And struggles lead to triumph. This week I have spent more time communicating with ktc members than I have in the past 3 months combined. Consider that... Sounds like a pretty strong week for ktc!
As always, I'd like to thank those of you that support me and have helped me win at the only thing in life that I consistently failed at. I was sure quitting was hopeless.... And until ktc it was. And a big thank you to the moderators and admins who have worked tirelessly, and often thanklessly, to build and maintain a site that a crazy group of addicts depend on to achieve freedom. I owe you all my life, and I'm grateful everyday to be able to post roll with Ron, Ryan, nick, and the other fine men (and Sage) of April 2013.
Have a great weekend. See you on roll tomorrow.

This week has been one of change for ktc. Many of us were shaken and fearful, and we as humans normally are when change falls upon us. But, change moves us forward. Challenges lead to growth. And struggles lead to triumph. This week I have spent more time communicating with ktc members than I have in the past 3 months combined. Consider that... Sounds like a pretty strong week for ktc!
As always, I'd like to thank those of you that support me and have helped me win at the only thing in life that I consistently failed at. I was sure quitting was hopeless.... And until ktc it was. And a big thank you to the moderators and admins who have worked tirelessly, and often thanklessly, to build and maintain a site that a crazy group of addicts depend on to achieve freedom. I owe you all my life, and I'm grateful everyday to be able to post roll with Ron, Ryan, nick, and the other fine men (and Sage) of April 2013.
Have a great weekend. See you on roll tomorrow.
This is the kind if guy I want to stand next to and quit. Always positive and no drama. I am totally committed to quitting with you EDD WtW!
If their is anybody you want in your quit corner, it's WTW.

2 weeks ago I flew to Detroit to meet 3 men from my April 2013 group. I've texted all of them. Talked to one 6 or seven times. I stayed with Ryan and his family in their beautiful new house. We drank beer in the backyard and worked on some landscaping together. Nick and Ron showed up later and we piled in his parents minivan and went to watch my royals spank their tigers. Redtrain, amrmaya2, and deeznb showed up for for the game as well.
This was a trip that I will never forget. These men fought a battle alongside me, in different parts of the country, and we share a strong bond. Nick and I quit on the same day - Christmas Eve.

Day 577. I fucking hate nicotine more today than I think I have in the past 577 days!
Went on vacation a few weeks back. Nice trip to the east coast. Stayed at this cutesy little bb my wife picked out. Our room looked like a big pink explosion... But it made my wife happy. Anyway, walked in and one of the first things I thought of, out of reflex, was... Where is there a men's room in the lobby? See... That is where I would take off every morning and night for a ninja dipping session. Pathetic. Bbs don't have restrooms in the lobby. And I don't care! 25 years I wasted time hiding on vacations when I could have been enjoying myself. No more of that bullshit!
Met steakbomb for breakfast. Great guy, great role model for new or veteran quitters, and his energy really amplified my hatred of nicotine. I left and thought... That dude sure didn't fit what I thought the stereotypical dip addict would be. He probably thought the same thing. Thanks for taking time out of your weekend to meet me, Andy. Your support and the support of bad asses like yourself is what makes the engine of kill the can work when no other plan does!
Pharmacist, celebrity banker, personal trainer, CFO, inventory analyst, plant manager, commercial electrician, healthcare manager, pipeliner, police officer... These are the professions of some of the dip (nicotine) addicts I've met in person that keep me accountable. This addiction sucks. But one day at a time, with the help of the guys I've met and post with daily, I am keeping my word and fueling my hatred.
See you at 600.

All of you new quitters like me need to take notice of WtW's post. I've noticed some guys who are still in the double digits of quit days and they think they've already defeated nicotine. They start to slack off or get mouthy.
Read between the lines here: WtW is telling you that nicotine doesn't give up. It doesn't ever, ever give up. It keeps fighting, even inside a veteran quitter like our good man here.
Those arrogant addicts are more likely to fail than those who remain humbled addicts like worktowin.

I do hate the way we still get that little reflex action when certain circumstances arrive. We used to do things so often for so long without thinking.
then we found here, and we consciously made a decision to quit and we thought about that word we give daily and the plan that we have in place for protection.
and just look and think how far we have come.
proud of you Wtw, brother. Lets keep this good thing going

I am hating right beside you W2W.
But even just yesterday for a about 2 seconds the thought of dipping crossed my mind. I thought the following,
"I am off work for the next 4 days, ahhhhh, I could get some dip, and really blaze through all this yardwork that I have to do. I could just use this weekend and pitch it again on Monday".
WTF, where do these thoughts come from at 567 days quit? who would have thunk it is right Slugo. Damn, I am glad I have this site and these friends who I commit to each day.
By the way 25 lawn bags full of yard waste. NO DIP. Just a bag of seeds. 'na na' Fuck you nicotine, I win.

Eddie if you get the chance definitely meet him in person. I can remember when I was freaking about mowing my yard the first time without dip. W2W texted me and said he would be right over with some fake or he would mow my yard for me. That's a real brother in quit right there. I'm lucky that I live in same general area as the bad ass known as W2W. Dude is a legend. Keep doing your thing W2W and setting the example for all of us.

Day 577. I fucking hate nicotine more today than I think I have in the past 577 days!
Went on vacation a few weeks back. Nice trip to the east coast. Stayed at this cutesy little bb my wife picked out. Our room looked like a big pink explosion... But it made my wife happy. Anyway, walked in and one of the first things I thought of, out of reflex, was... Where is there a men's room in the lobby? See... That is where I would take off every morning and night for a ninja dipping session. Pathetic. Bbs don't have restrooms in the lobby. And I don't care! 25 years I wasted time hiding on vacations when I could have been enjoying myself. No more of that bullshit!
Met steakbomb for breakfast. Great guy, great role model for new or veteran quitters, and his energy really amplified my hatred of nicotine. I left and thought... That dude sure didn't fit what I thought the stereotypical dip addict would be. He probably thought the same thing. Thanks for taking time out of your weekend to meet me, Andy. Your support and the support of bad asses like yourself is what makes the engine of kill the can work when no other plan does!
Pharmacist, celebrity banker, personal trainer, CFO, inventory analyst, plant manager, commercial electrician, healthcare manager, pipeliner, police officer... These are the professions of some of the dip (nicotine) addicts I've met in person that keep me accountable. This addiction sucks. But one day at a time, with the help of the guys I've met and post with daily, I am keeping my word and fueling my hatred.
See you at 600.
Keep on brotha, your doing it right !
All of you new quitters like me need to take notice of WtW's post. I've noticed some guys who are still in the double digits of quit days and they think they've already defeated nicotine. They start to slack off or get mouthy.
Read between the lines here: WtW is telling you that nicotine doesn't give up. It doesn't ever, ever give up. It keeps fighting, even inside a veteran quitter like our good man here.
Those arrogant addicts are more likely to fail than those who remain humbled addicts like worktowin.
I do hate the way we still get that little reflex action when certain circumstances arrive. We used to do things so often for so long without thinking.
then we found here, and we consciously made a decision to quit and we thought about that word we give daily and the plan that we have in place for protection.
and just look and think how far we have come.
proud of you Wtw, brother. Lets keep this good thing going
Well said, WTW! 577 days and still an addict...whoda thunk it?
I am hating right beside you W2W.
But even just yesterday for a about 2 seconds the thought of dipping crossed my mind. I thought the following,
"I am off work for the next 4 days, ahhhhh, I could get some dip, and really blaze through all this yardwork that I have to do. I could just use this weekend and pitch it again on Monday".
WTF, where do these thoughts come from at 567 days quit? who would have thunk it is right Slugo. Damn, I am glad I have this site and these friends who I commit to each day.
By the way 25 lawn bags full of yard waste. NO DIP. Just a bag of seeds. 'na na' Fuck you nicotine, I win.

wow..it took alittle to catch up with this thread but there is some fantastic info that should be required reading for a newbie. Very inspiring... talk about a support system in place. Old ES would be honored to QLF with you Worktowin and your supporting cast.

Just want to say, worktowin has been one of the first rocks inserted into the foundation of my quit. He is also a rock in the quit of many others on this site. Whoever said it in the thread above, that he is a legend, is nothing less than spot on. It's a privilege quitting with this guy every day and he is proof that no matter your walk of life, when you've danced with nicotine, we've all walked down the same road. KTC creates a new road, it runs parallel to the road of addiction, but when followed, it never crosses its path.

Congrats Michael. You are a rock of quit and have become a beacon on this site. There are now more people posting in our group with you, than actual group members. It has been a great ride. I am glad that we had a chance to meet in person this summer. Meeting quitters in person definitely adds a whole other layer of accountability. Lets keep this train rolling.

Day 600. I'm really humbled today. And really grateful, to this site and to all of you that have supported me or given me the honor to quit with you along the way. Finding this site on day 16 (the lowest point of my life) was a miracle. I hated guys posting numbers like this early on. One day at a time, today I am stunned to be posting a number like this... time flies when you are having fun! Life went from hell, to livable, to OK, to good, to great. I heard it from vets over and over and over and I, like everyone else, just didn't believe them. Well, I do now.
KTC and each of you, played a part in saving my life - but more than that, you made my life worth living again. I don't really know how to adequately convey that message, so I'll just say "thank you."
Post roll, honor word. Its worked for me when not one other thing did for 25 years, so I won't be changing that formula. Time to go and look for some new quitters to help out!
Thank you KTC!

Day 632
My dad was a great man. A quiet leader, and a math genius. He was a high school math teacher in a small town and was admired by everyone. An all american guy that seemed to have his act together in every way. Except for his nicotine addiction. That addiction was a big part of his life. I remember the ceiling over his chair being stained yellow until mom made him smoke only in the garage. He exercised less as the years stacked up. Eating habits faded. But mosty the nicotine wore on him. Blood pressure went up. Cholesterol up. He looked perfectly fine. 25 years ago today, at the age of 52, nicotine claimed him as a victim. And my addiction, at age 17, was just beginning to blossom at that point.
Thank you ktc for making it possible for me to not follow in his footsteps. We all have a lot to be thankful for today.

Day 632
My dad was a great man. A quiet leader, and a math genius. He was a high school math teacher in a small town and was admired by everyone. An all american guy that seemed to have his act together in every way. Except for his nicotine addiction. That addiction was a big part of his life. I remember the ceiling over his chair being stained yellow until mom made him smoke only in the garage. He exercised less as the years stacked up. Eating habits faded. But mosty the nicotine wore on him. Blood pressure went up. Cholesterol up. He looked perfectly fine. 25 years ago today, at the age of 52, nicotine claimed him as a victim. And my addiction, at age 17, was just beginning to blossom at that point.

That's a good point as I really believe this does span generations. Those of is who grew up with parents who smoked, whether we believe it or are concious of it, that example has been set that tobacco is ok. The same reason why everybody here abstains from all forms of nicotine not just the can. If you become permissive with one form very quickly you'll be right back where you started. The goal here is to set a higher standard. So for those of you who are doing this with kids in the house know that you're setting a better example for them too. While there's no guarantees you're giving them a much better start off than what many of our generation had.

Thank you for this post. We that grew up with smoking parents had nicotine flowing through our veins without knowing and without consent. And I know our parents didn't know that was occurring either. But we are breaking those chains and stopping that legacy. Thank you for being here and sowing strength into my quit and countless others. Your dad would be very proud of you my friend.

This is the toughest, and best, thing I've ever done for myself.
Almost 2 years ago I quit. Alone. After 25 years I survived for 16 days alone. Hopeless. Almost suicidal to be honest. Depressed beyond belief. Woke up shaking sweating and crying, and then I found this place. I had to hit bottom in order to climb out of the hole I was in.
Posted some bs in this intro about my good friend the Kodiak bear and was quickly schooled. Got pissed. Anger was my friend for a while. I really don't recall much of my 1st hundred days other than my April group was all insane (they all are at first I now know) and sportsfan checked on me constantly, and ig2h and I both fought thru some suck days together. I couldn't wait for hall of fame. It came. It went. I posted roll every day. And I kept my word.
The group shrank dramatically. The suck was still there. Wtf? I thought... Man this has to get better! So I reached out to a quitter newer than me. And then another. Month by month I added 2 or 3 quitters. Kept in close contact with them. I've met quitters from both coasts. And of course the Midwest. I work with a contact from this site every day. A quitter from Canada spent 4 days with my wife and Me 3 months ago. This is important... Because, I am an addict. If it were not for all of you I honestly believe I'd cave. But each day I give you my word and I keep it.
Yeah, I'm an addict. On that front, im kinda proud. It is a personality trait in my opinion. The quitters that I've met on this site are high performers. All in on everything we do. When we're work, we work to win. When we vacation - we party like rock stars. All in. Unfortunately nicotine was all on for me too. But I now know that I have a team of honorable men and women in my corner not only cheering me on but counting on me. I cannot let these people that I've talked with on the phone, shared drinks with in detroit, bragged about the royals with at work, gone to the bacon festival with, had breakfast with in Connecticut...down. No fucking way! No happening on my watch. Not today. I gave my word.
So, MT... I am an addict. And I'm proud to admit it. Because it is who I am, and I am now an addict who can look you in the eye, give my word, and keep it.
To all of you that have supported me or given me the pleasure of being a part of your life, I cannot thank you enough. These have been the 2 best years of my life. More greatness ahead!

I really don't recall much of my 1st hundred days other than my April group was all insane (they all are at first I now know) and sportsfan checked on me constantly, and ig2h and I both fought thru some suck days together. I couldn't wait for hall of fame. It came. It went. I posted roll every day. And I kept my word.
The group shrank dramatically. The suck was still there. Wtf? I thought... Man this has to get better! So I reached out to a quitter newer than me. And then another. Month by month I added 2 or 3 quitters. Kept in close contact with them. I've met quitters from both coasts. And of course the Midwest. I work with a contact from this site every day. A quitter from Canada spent 4 days with my wife and Me 3 months ago. This is important... Because, I am an addict. If it were not for all of you I honestly believe I'd cave. But each day I give you my word and I keep it.
Yeah, I'm an addict. On that front, im kinda proud. It is a personality trait in my opinion. The quitters that I've met on this site are high performers. All in on everything we do. When we're work, we work to win. When we vacation - we party like rock stars. All in. Unfortunately nicotine was all on for me too. But I now know that I have a team of honorable men and women in my corner not only cheering me on but counting on me. I cannot let these people that I've talked with on the phone, shared drinks with in detroit, bragged about the royals with at work, gone to the bacon festival with, had breakfast with in Connecticut...down. No fucking way! No happening on my watch. Not today. I gave my word.
So, MT... I am an addict. And I'm proud to admit it. Because it is who I am, and I am now an addict who can look you in the eye, give my word, and keep it.
To all of you that have supported me or given me the pleasure of being a part of your life, I cannot thank you enough. These have been the 2 best years of my life. More greatness ahead!
Great stuff here! Brotherhood + accountability = success. Thanks for being the man that you are... The quitter that you are.... The friend that you are. I am quit with you EDD! Go Royals!
W2W is the definition of the perfect KTC leader and quitter! Proud to be this guys friend! His word is worth the bet of all that you own!

Super quit in this here thread!
What's that prolific smell in here?????? Oh..... That's the smell of quit!!! This guys knows what brotherhood is!!
Yes he does so do you.
Question: Since you are endorsed by the best fighters and quitters...
What has been your secret of quit? I'm sure you suffered. How did you stay quit and succeed?
This is the toughest, and best, thing I've ever done for myself.

Thanks to you guys for the kind words. I cannot believe 700 days ago I started winning. I stopped wasting my health, my time, and my money and started living the life I didn't know I was missing. Each of you have played a role in keeping me honest and engaged, and without this site... Forget it! Some people leave this site after 10, 50, 100, 500 days... I wish them well, but there is one thing that has kept me quit. The accountability to the brotherhood - all of you. My name will be on that roll as long as my fingers move.
Haven't been as active on ktc lately... Just been enjoying life more and feel a sense of peace that started around 500. Weird... Just feel free and loving it. This thanksgiving, more than ever, I am thankful for the blessings I have received. This website and it's members are at the top of my blessings list.

Michael - Sorry I missed your arrival on the 7th floor. I've been preoccupied of late and am sure you understand. You are the first guy that welcomed me and supported my early quit and for that I am grateful. I'm still amazed at how others jump in to save the life of a complete unknown. Thank you sir for the early support to give me a reason to keep going. Congratulations!

Milestones are always humbling and, while we can't change the past, I always like to reflect on days like this. Ryan asked me yesterday why I picked Christmas Eve to quit. I wish I could reference some spiritual or deep reflective cause, but I'm an addict... Here is my story...
2 years and 10 days ago my doctor told the supersize version of me that I needed to get my act together, or I needed to get my papers together because I wouldn't last long. I walked out of his office determined to change. The next day I dragged my fat ass to the gym for the first time in I don't know how long and started a very strict diet. And I committed to quit. Every day for the next 10 days I said this was it. No more. And every day I went to the gas station again. On Christmas Eve I finally realized that even in the city where I live only a few gas stations would be open the next day, so if I ran out it would be a challenge to buy. Christmas Eve was ok. Christmas Day was horrible. Somehow I made it the next 2 weeks, but I really don't remember much until I woke up 16 days later at the low point of my life. I went to the gym again that morning, 8 lbs lighter by that point, and came home and posted my sorry ass intro. You guys reached out and saved my life.
I'm very humbled today. And I'm very proud. Freedom from nicotine has led me to some places I would have never expected. I'm happier, healthier, and more successful in most aspects of life. I have friends in all 4 corners of the us, Alaska and Poland that I text or email frequently. Brotherhood is what this is all about.
Merry Christmas to each of you and your families. Lets all find a new quitter and help them find the freedom so many of us are living today!

Milestones are always humbling and, while we can't change the past, I always like to reflect on days like this. Ryan asked me yesterday why I picked Christmas Eve to quit. I wish I could reference some spiritual or deep reflective cause, but I'm an addict... Here is my story...

I haven't been in the intros lately, so excuse my tardiness to this affair, but... i sure have to say congrats to one of the BIGGEST supporters i've had, consistently, with persistence and insight, over my whole quit so far. And you've become a friend. You've been a cheerleader, a sage/yogi/yoda type dude, a role model, and a bro. And you've impacted hundreds of others by now. Damned find quit!

Day 862
Haven't updated in a while. Haven't had a lot to say. 862 days ago my life was a wreck, but I didn't know it. 762 days ago I was exhausted from fighting, but winning. From there, things got progressively better. Then they got great. I don't know how to explain it really, other than life is great when you own it.
This weekend 4 peeps from my April 2013 group flew in from LA, Jackson MI, Detroit, and Ketchikan AK and were joined by another from Wichita for a royals game Saturday night. We tore up Kansas City. Ate 100,000 calories. Slammed go carts into each other. Plowed through our liquor cabinet. Took pictures. Laughed. Had serious conversations. What an amazing experience.
This morning I was barely awake when Todd called to tell me how amazing he feels today on his way to work after round 1 of his winning fight. And how his battle against nicotine was the winning backdrop to his great attitude.
This site is the real deal. It will change your life if you let it. Jump in with both feet. Win at all costs. Life without nicotine is amazing.

862 days ago, did you ever in a thousand years imagine that all that would be possible? That not only you could break free from the chains of nicotine, but also gain that type of friendship and achieve such meaningful bonds along the way. That post is a prime example of why you can't put a price on the ROI one gets from quitting nicotine. Truly inspiring...and at the end of all that, it couldn't happen to a better guy.

I think it is incredible that your quit brothers and sisters gathered together from around the country to celebrate the brotherhood of KTC. You have shown a lot of us quitters here by your words and actions what great things can come from owning your quit. Thanks! Pretty sweet of steak to drop an accounting reference too . . . but yeah, the ROI is pretty amazing.

900 days.
Yesterday was my 20th anniversary. My wife is a saint. Took her out to a fancy 5 course dinner with a giant glass of wine served with each course. We had a great time. I sipped a little of each glass. She downed it. In a couple of weeks we are going on a great vacation to Europe that I've promised her for 20 years. Anyway, I made some jackass remark that "I should sneak off and get a French prositute" and was smacked down with "you mean like how you used to sneak off to chew tobacco in the hotel lobby?" Boom. I deserved that. But I'm not that guy any more.
If I could describe how wonderful freedom is, the new guys here wouldn't believe me. Because 900... 800... 700 days ago I didn't believe those of you telling me it would be like this. Cravings are rare. And easily beaten down because I'm winning. I've had congrats from my Ktc friends over the country today, and from my Canadian friend Mike. Today is another victory over an opponent that I battled unsuccessfully for 25 years. Now, I am a success. I'm fortunate to be included in a lot of winners successful battles here - and many of you are included in my quit. Without all of you - I would not be here. This place is great, and it saved my life and made it worth living again.
Now, about that French prostitute... Hmmmmm

W2W. Europe! U deserve it. And so does ur wife apparently. My congratulations here cannot possibly rival the good wishes above from those you have known for years but I can equal the sincerity of my thanks for the few past weeks you have selflessly helped me and expressed your genuine care for our new quit group. And therein lies ur timeless greatness my friend. Much like the school teacher who touches and changes so many lives beyond even his comprehension, you are making differences in people's lives and letting us stand on your shoulders to reach the next plateau of personal growth. You should take solace...no better yet congratulate yourself, for achieving the most elusive of goals....a genuinely good man and a tough competitor.

Tonight was a great example of WORKINTOW's magic on a tough marine (is there any other kind?) who was waffling on his first day joining the September Samurai:
Stillamarine - "Well today was Day 1. Made it through the day. Wasn't sure about quitting without nicorette or anything, but WORKINTOW done called me a bitch and told me to man up, so here I am. Semper Fi"
'worship'
-
Congrats on another milestone W2W. Thanks for all your support this past year. I read alot of responses from all kinds of quitters in here, but yours always seem to be the clearest and to the point. Keep doing what you do and again, congrats. Proud to quit with you.

Day 300
I don't even know where to start. 300 days ago my life was honestly a mess. I had the same great wife, same great job, same nice house and stuff, but I was miserable. My health was in shambles, and I was controlled by a powerful opponent. I made a lot of lifestyle changes on Christmas Eve. A lot. But compared to the battle against nicotine, they were all a cakewalk. I had no idea how much control nicotine had over me. The first 50 days were miserable. The next 50 were a fight, but not miserable. The next 50 were sort of a downer after hof. My April 2013 group shrank after hof and it was kind of a rough time to navigate as you watch people you have fought a battle with leave. And then... Nirvana!
One day it just all came together. I feel amazing, and today I am incredibly humbled. Without each of you, I would not be where I am today. Life is so much better than I ever imagined. So good, that about 30 minutes ago I finally told my wife the extent of my addiction. We both sat on the couch and tears were running down both of our faces. She was shocked, and disappointed. I don't blame her - I would be too. But she is also happy and proud of me. And she started connecting a lot of dots.... That's why you used to take so many showers. That's why you bought gas at 1030. That's why I could never touch your suitcase....
It was time. And so today, a new milestone has been achieved. True freedom.
I owe each of you a depth of gratitude. I am a pretty confident (arrogant) guy. But this I could not do alone. 300 is just the beginning, but right now I have a sense of freedom that I can truly say I have never felt before. Thank you.
This post is truly inspirational. Only on day 7, but I read these types of post and it reminds me of why I am battling this thing everyday. I know the motto is one day at a time, but it is also nice to see the light is not too far out of reach even in the dog days of quit.

I hear what you are saying King...that the light isn't that far away, but the truth of the matter is...it is. You can't get to day 8 until you win day 7. You can't get to day 100 until you've won every other day before it. Nicotine is such a strong opponent; especially in the beginning. W2W's day 300 post beautifully illustrates that...every day was a battle to the death, and he killed his nicotine opponent every day.
With that said, the post you referenced comes from one of the baddest ass quitters here and when you read of W2W's revelation, you can't help but be excited to achieve that type of freedom. Shit, after reading that, it still inspires me to preserve my freedom. So, one day at a time, you should revel in every moment of freedom you gain, knowing that the more you continue to win the better it gets.

Thanks Steakbomb. I am actually trying to revel in the suck so that someday I can truly appreciate how messed up I made my brain and body and that these wins are worth it. I'm trying not to get too bogged down, but your words definitely resonate. I appreciate you and all the veterans reaching out for no other reason than wanting to help us succeed. It makes my quit stronger. Thanks again.

Huge number right there worktowin. One of the first guys to reach out to me on this site. Words can't describe how appreciative I am of that. Looking forward to reaching this peak some day.

959 days.
I have avoided convenience stores like the plague for 959 days. I remember around day 500 standing in the tobacco line at Walmart to buy some chicken or soap or whatever and almost being paralyzed staring at the Kodiak. I wasn't tempted. I certainly didn't cave. It was just a weird feeling. Well yesterday the gd printer at the pump decided to not work. So I went inside to get a copy. And there was that big display that I fed every day for 25 years... But this time I didn't feel a thing. Nothing. The guy in front of me even bought some skoal and still I didn't feel anything at all. I got my receipt and I left.
I post every day. I still post on a few intros, but I'm mostly just enjoying life now. I know the new members on this site are going thru hell right now and thinking... This hell will never get better. I know, because I've been in those shoes. It does get better. One day at a time
-
Power to you bro. ODAAT indeed. I most recently had this experience in vacation while buying coffee in the am. Not sure in to the feeling nothing at all stage yet but it honestly whole heatedly does get better. I still pay at the pump. Something I NEVER did hated to do previous to quitting as it meant two transactions at the gas station.
-
That's awesome fellows! I go in the tobacco store to get my fake, sometimes the olé nic brain says let's just get one can and I can actually laugh it off , all I can say it's a long ways from where I came from. I owe it all to this place! Quit on my brother's and sisters!

Did you find it weird to go into a tobacco store to get your fake? I think for the time I relied on fake I was jus so charged up about quitting that I didn't think twice about it. Since I stopped using fake a few months after quitting I haven't been back since.
-
W2W you are truly an inspiration to us. I dream about that day where I feel badly for the dude in front of me and not myself for succumbing to nicotine that day. You are truly a beacon for the new guys quitting, and as you head towards your comma, think about what your body felt like 900 days ago. You're making it bro. ODAAT, you're showing the rest of us what it feels like to win. Keep it up my man, you're a shitful of inspiration.

Thanks for sharing that Michael. It must have been strange, in a positive way, to feel nothing. I know I am not there ( yet?). But I am very happy for you.

Sorry mike just caught this. Not at all, where I've got my fix from for year's and it makes me walk tall when I get fake and the little fine ass chick works there keeps my eyes off the real shit! Quit on all you badasses, I'm definitely doing better less than a can a week of fake, I'm damn happy of that but looking forward to having nothing to rely on but will take what I'm giving for right now.

I know this is a day early but I had to post while it was fresh in my mind what I wanted to say.
First I want to congratulate a bad ass quitter and great human being on 1,000 days quit, while not the end of the journey by any means it is a hard earned milestone.
On my first failed "attempt" back in May of 2013, the last person to contact me when I missed roll on my 3rd day was worktowin. It was a simple message but one that stuck with me for several months to come, he simply sent me a text that said "when your ready, i'll be here". Just a few months later while browsing the forums while still dipping the light bulb finally turned on, so I flushed my stash and posted my last day 1. I then texted worktowin and the rest for now is history. A sincere thank you to a guy that has become a friend and early on was huge quit mentor, w2w was about 200 days quit that day I made my choice and his promise that it would get better was all I held onto for awhile.... Let me tell you it does get better.
Thank you Michael for being my friend and quit brother. If you are new and reading this, read back through this guys intro because it's one of many blueprints here on KTC on how to jump in and get it right.

Since Jlud broke the seal here, I will chime in as well. Huge congrats to you w2w on your comma. I know of NO finer quitter on this site. You have inspired me with infinite quit wisdom that you bestow daily. Not just in my intro, but in every single quitter that comes through.
This site and my quit are exponentially better because of your presence here. Thank you.
-
W2W, congrats on all your hard work reaching 1,000! The big comma. You are one bad ass quitter. Not sure I can say much more than that. Take this time as you reflect back on the last 1,000 days remember the positive impact you've had on so many lives here. My own included. I owe no less than my quit to you your friendship so thank you again for all the help support you've given me.
-
Congrats Michael! 1000 is incredible. You are a fine man and an exceptionally badass quitter. You were one of the first people to text me with support and then brought an entire posse to get me through some damn tough times. Twice I was on the brink and you brought me back. Thank you my friend and celebrate this awesome achievement. CJ.

Congrats W2W! I am new here and you have helped me through some hard times already. The common sense wisdom is what I needed. B)B
-
W2W you are the real deal! I try to read all your post , the quit knowledge is amazing! Damn proud to call you a friend! 1000 is awesome, don't stop on the intros you help so many, take time and reflect where you came from. You should be esstatic!
-
Great job W2W! Thanks for always helping us newbies, it will never go unnoticed.
Many more 1000s coming...but One Day At A Time.
You rock and are one bad ass quitter!
We quit with you today.
-
Everybody above echoes my own sentiments. Since I began my quit, no one has been more consistently supportive than you. And while many of us vets are hot and cold with our support of new quitters. You have managed to find time and make connections almost every day of your 1000. Truly amazing. You are going to get lots of kudos today. You should get 10 times the amount. Thank you Michael for being a leader here.

Your screan name says it all. You gotta work it to win it. Congrats on the grand. You must have quit dipping 100 days before I quit drinking.

Day 1000
What a day. As usual, I woke up at some stupid early hour. I think around 4am. You'd think I was a senior citizen instead of 43. Anyway, I decided to post on all of the boards I can think of where people have helped me out. I went upstairs to our office and turned on the computer. I always use my iPhone to post, last time I used that computer to post was day 16...when I first posted here.
That day I woke up, deeeeeeep in a fog. Hurting. Sweating. Feeling hopeless. Thinking that life wasn't worth living without my precious Kodiak. I called in sick and laid in bed and literally cried. I thought... I can't do this. I walked to the computer and searched for help... And I found it. Ktc and the contacts I have made here helped me do what I couldn't fo alone.
In the past 1000 days... I've cured my high blood pressure/diabetes/high cholesterol. Lost 60 lbs. I'm in the best shape of my life. Had 3 promotions. Lots of job stress. Family health problems. Unexpected bills. New family members born. All of this is part of life, and nicotine isn't necessary to live it and doesn't help deal with any of it. I've met 20 quitters in person. Have 50 numbers in my phone. I HAVE WON EVERY DAY FOR 1000 DAYS. I can't tell you how sweet it is to type that.
26 years and 2 days ago, nicotine stole my dad from me when I was 17 years old. Nicotine almost took me away from my family. Nicotine can fuck off. Ktc has shown me how to be a winner - I post roll everyday and I support the brotherhood. I cannot begin to name everyone that has helped me... But I owe you my deepest thanks. This site and my quit family not only saved my life, but it made life worth living again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kind words, the texts, and the congratulations. But most of all for getting me to a place that I could not get to alone. I will see you at 1001.

Michael, congratulations my friend. I count it a privilege to be a part of your quit circle. Do you remember that old investment commercial where people walked around with their retirement amount over their heads everywhere they went? I wish you had a number floating over your head that counted the lives that you've impacted here on KTC or otherwise...the folks that you encourage and challenge to be better every single day. Not sure what number it would be, but I'm certain it would humble all of us, and would probably bring you to your knees. You've helped so many of us here, subtly through your wisdom (as evidenced by your post above) and through your solid example. Pat yourself on the back, sir, for I and many others owe you immensely and hold you in the highest regard, and celebrate your victory on your 1K day.

Congratulations on the Comma! 'clap'

Typed this in another intro, but want to have it here to reference later....
Tonight my wife and I went shopping at a really really nice indoor shopping mall. This place looks like a Christmas explosion happened. Multistory tall wreaths, a big inflatable snow globe you can go in for pictures, all kinds of stupid. There were families with strollers. The women all looked like they were in heaven. The kids eyes didn't know where to stop. Most of the men were even having fun - because their families sure as heck were. Except...
There was this young family - I'm guessing mid 20s. One little boy around three that had arms and legs moving in all directions. Another boy probably around 6. The lady was trying to get them arranged in front of a wreath to get a family picture. The kids were being kids - lots of visual stimulation there and they were hard to corral. The dad was PISSED and was screaming at both kids and her. Loud enough that people were looking at him. He had some serious rage.
The woman was trying hard to get her family arranged. He wasn't helping at all. Yelling, but just standing there. My wife was in a store spending money on something she didn't need, and I just stood there taking it all in...and then, GB, as she is trying to arrange her 2 little boys just so in order to ask a stranger to take a picture of her family to tuck in her Christmas cards next week, this jackass husband pulls out a tin of Copenhagen and shoves his lip full. She said "what are you doing, we are getting a family picture for Christmas"? And he screamed "I having a goddamn dip, it is none of your business! These kids are driving me crazy! Let's get this stupid picture done so I can go home." The picture wasn't taken. She corralled the kids and I saw them moving toward the exit escalator. And she was dabbing her eyes when the husband wasn't looking. Which was the whole time... Because he was in his own selfish little world.

That is just F'ed up.
Odd thing though is yesterday I was looking through my photos and found a pic where to me it was fairly obvious I had a turd in.
I then started taking a closer look...Yup you guessed it I can't find a pic where I didn't.
All six Xmas cards I found, all the birthday parties, xmas parties at work, bowling, golf, everywhere I went I had a dip.
36 years at least I never pulled anything like this guy.

That story hit home with me and makes me sad. Brings back memories of worse times when this addiction took center stage. Not anymore. I am so grateful to finally be free.

Oh my I'm glad I don't know that man anymore! Damn near brought tears to my eyes thinking of the selfish son of a bitch I once was! See all he was concerned about was sticking that shit in his mouth and Mother doing her mother things alone! Time to quit being that dumbass and be a man!

Interesting observation story to be sure. Thanks for sharing W2W. That sounds all too familiar, though I never pulled anything quite like that guy, I know there's a few pics of me with a dip in where I shouldn't. Frustrating time of year to be sure, especially with the expectations we all place on ourselves others. But I really do hope for his sake, the family's sake, that one Christmas, just maybe this is the story memory that keeps a potential future quit strong. I think we all hope we were never that dude, most probably weren't that extreme, but also seeing just a bit of ourselves in the story. I can certainly relate to being the guy who might not have noticed tears being dabbed away when I should have.

Typed this in another intro, but want to have it here to reference later....
Tonight my wife and I went shopping at a really really nice indoor shopping mall. This place looks like a Christmas explosion happened. Multistory tall wreaths, a big inflatable snow globe you can go in for pictures, all kinds of stupid. There were families with strollers. The women all looked like they were in heaven. The kids eyes didn't know where to stop. Most of the men were even having fun - because their families sure as heck were. Except...
There was this young family - I'm guessing mid 20s. One little boy around three that had arms and legs moving in all directions. Another boy probably around 6. The lady was trying to get them arranged in front of a wreath to get a family picture. The kids were being kids - lots of visual stimulation there and they were hard to corral. The dad was PISSED and was screaming at both kids and her. Loud enough that people were looking at him. He had some serious rage.
The woman was trying hard to get her family arranged. He wasn't helping at all. Yelling, but just standing there. My wife was in a store spending money on something she didn't need, and I just stood there taking it all in...and then, GB, as she is trying to arrange her 2 little boys just so in order to ask a stranger to take a picture of her family to tuck in her Christmas cards next week, this jackass husband pulls out a tin of Copenhagen and shoves his lip full. She said "what are you doing, we are getting a family picture for Christmas"? And he screamed "I having a goddamn dip, it is none of your business! These kids are driving me crazy! Let's get this stupid picture done so I can go home." The picture wasn't taken. She corralled the kids and I saw them moving toward the exit escalator. And she was dabbing her eyes when the husband wasn't looking. Which was the whole time... Because he was in his own selfish little world.

What a dick! Man I know I did not give a fuck when I would dip, but never once would I talk like that. Michael you are a better man than I do not think I could keep my words to myself. I often look back at pictures where I had a dip in which was every one but then again I seldom did not have a dip in my mouth. Engagement pictures (dip), Wedding pictures (dip), reception pictures (dip), child birth (dip), coming home (dip), family gathering (big dip), just because (dip)...what an asshole.
I really like the tobacco free me, yeah I am still an asshole but at least I am not a drooling asshole now.
This weekend I went shopping and for the third year of Christmas shopping I did not have to spit into trashcans or the floor. #QUITTER

I have noticed that quitting opens our eyes to others, to our surroundings, and shows us visions of what we were (in part) when we used. It also shows us big time how far we have come in making ourselves a better person.
great vision my friend. and as we move forward this scene can be used as something we do NOT want in our future.

Thanks to all of you and to this site for making a 25 year loser a 3 year winner. I jumped in and listened. Haven't missed posting one day yet.
There is someone looking at the intros today or tomorrow thinking... Yeah, I need to quit. I'll do it at new years! Fuck that. Do it NOW! Give yourself and your family the best gift of your life. Nicotine is a joke. It takes your health, your time, your money, but most of all it takes your family. It steals everything from you, but until you take your life back, you don't know the chains holding you down.
Merry Christmas to all of you on KTC. This place is the real deal.

Just waking up at home after sleeping about 12 hours after a killer trip to Vegas. Feeling very very blessed to be quit today, and to have shared the last 4 days with 3 bad ass quitters tearing up Sin City. Traumagnet, Sage, Mike from AB and I had a blast. We had a crab leg eating contest at the Wynn buffet, flew down the zip line on Fremont street, rode the rides at stratosphere, and just had an amazing time together. All nicotine free.
UFC is in Vegas this weekend. So is NASCAR. And a huge college rugby competition. All of which meant TONS of dippers. Feeling so very fortunate to have all of the accountability surrounding me and ensuring I'm no longer that 19 year old hungover rugby kid in the elevator calling his buddy and saying "man when you come downstairs grab me a new can off the dresser - I just ran out" followed by spitting in a Mountain Dew bottle.
Lots of new quitters posting intros this week. Lots of struggles going on. The 4 of us struggled too - but now we are all winning. The fight is so worth it. This site will save your life... If you let it. But in the end it will reward you in ways you will never expect.

Not much to add here W2W nailed it....I just now woke up too must have needed it. I flew from Vegas to a hotel here in ND called the Vegas it was ironic but it was full of dippers and I was so happy that i/we have been able to take our lives back. I say we because you dont do it alone here so like W2W said to all the new quitters keep digging it's a struggle.

I was that college kid once. Temptation o all sorts including tobacco is everywhere in Vegas. But the rewards of quitting are far greater, including yes in ways you never expect. Like experiencing Vegas with 3 other badasses our supporters. Without a horseshoe, which was my last experience in Vegas.

Hi guys. 40 year old professional guy here. Started dipping at 16. Like all of you - wow... That first dip I still remember like it was yesterday. Like the best roller coaster ever. Been using a can every day for 24 years. Add that up m-fers... That is a new Lexus I spit out over 24 years. Had a physical a few weeks ago and need to make some diet and exercise changes, so why not get all of this ugliness done at once? First few days I slept all the time. The fog is unreal and I'm still in it. Have been able to function and work but still feel out of it. I, like you, read the 100 reasons to quit and probably could relate to 80% of them. I had some great times with the bear, but never again. I've hidden this from family and friends for years and am now 2 weeks in. Every time I think about it I log in and read your stories - they make it real and give the extra push I need. I'll be to 100 days soon and when the fog clears I look forward to cheering my fellow brothers on. Thanks for your support.
Spent the day in the car yesterday and just catching up. I'm so humbled by the congrats! Thank you! 1,285 days ago I woke up at the lowest point of my life and typed the weak and pathetic intro you see above. This family of fellow addicts showed me the way. I post my promise every damn day, and I keep my word.
This week it seems cancer has impacted so many around me:
- my wife had a scary (but ok) mammogram this week
- my mom has metastatic breast cancer and is dealing with new meds.
- her oncologist of 20 years, who has led her very long battle, was killed in a car wreck driving to his 8 year old grandsons funeral... who died of leukemia
- Marianne, a girl I went to high school with, updated her friends on Facebook about her husbands upcoming surgery at MD Anderson to remove his jawbone. Yes, he chewed.
- Traumagnet. A great friend, father, husband, soldier, and quitter. A hero.
For 25 years I invited the struggles these people are experiencing into my life. I cannot change the past, but today I own and control. This pathetic intro post above isn't me at all, thanks to you great guys/gals that helped me find and shape a life worth living again. If I can do this, anyone can.

never forget your past my friend. That was you, as we all were at one point. We have all come so far and each day we can learn more and more, not only about ourselves but about all that happens around us.
stay strong and tall, you have learned what your word means, you have also taught so many others. Use that strength to handle what life throw at you. And always remember those who are at your side.

This is what nicotine ultimately takes away.
_________________________________
Todd asked me to speak on his behalf several months ago. Some of what you will hear today is from me, but most is from Todd. He had a way with words and life that most of us can never hope to match, so please bear with me while I try to do my best.
When did you first meet Todd Garcia? Some of you have known him his whole life, some for decades, some for many years. I had the honor of meeting Todd in person only one time, just a few months ago in March for a Vegas getaway. For 4 days a small group with a shared brotherhood tore up Las Vegas. I first spoke with Todd 1,160 days ago. From that point until the middle of last week, we texted or spoke to each other almost daily – usually several or many times each day.
Todd was one of a kind. There was no wishy washy, politically correct, everything’s a shade of gray - with Todd. When you talked with him, there was no judging. There was no hate. But there was a clear sense of right and wrong, just and unjust, fair and unfair. In today’s society, this is not a common trait. Todd didn’t believe everyone deserved a gold star or a big trophy. He was “all in on everything he did.” When he played, he played hard. When he worked, he worked to win. That’s not to say that he cheated or cut corners – it means that he lived life to the fullest. My example of this is that – if Todd was at a buffet eating chicken wings, first of all he would eat more than anyone else, but if he saw a member of ISIS across the room, he would charge them with one of those little plastic forks and take them out. Then he would duck behind something so that he wouldn’t have to deal with the press, and eat more chicken wings. That was Todd.
I wanna talk a little about some of my favorite memories, because I’m sure each of you have your own which are similar to mine. Todd would want us to laugh today, and these stories never fail to make me laugh. In March, right after returning home from the Vegas trip, Todd discovered that his cancer was back. He launched into treatment almost immediately, and the afternoon that he returned home from his initial treatment, surprised several of us with a text and a picture of himself in a tiny little 2 piece blue bikini. Now, if you’ve never seen a picture of Todd in a bikini, let me assure you – it’s something that is not easily forgotten. This isn’t something that you can just un-see. That bikini was stretched to its limits, in ways that bikinis were not meant to be stretched. I had a mouthful of water when I opened the text – and spit it all over my living room with it when I saw the picture. That was Todd!
Around this time, Todd and Brenda bought a pig named Wilbur. Todd ripped the living crap out of his port while building Wilbur a house right after surgery. Anyone else would have laid on the couch moaning about what was going on, but Todd was busy building a pig house in the middle of a North Dakota winter like it was just any other day. I’m sure Brenda was fit to be tied, but when Todd got a project started, you might as well stand back and let him finish, because he was on a mission and it would not be deterred. A couple of months later I received a text that Brenda was really upset, and that Wilbur was dead! I crafted this really sympathetic note about what a great pig Wilbur must have been, what a loss they must feel, how Wilbur must be in a better place… and promptly hear back: yeah I’m sad too if Wilbur is dead! Animals are for work or food and I was looking forward to eating Wilbur! Again, I almost coughed from laughing, but come to find out, Brenda was wrong and Wilbur was fine. Well, he was fine until a couple of weeks ago. One of my last texts from Todd was a picture of a pork roast straight from the oven with the words “Wilbur on the half shell. Yum!” That was Todd.
From memories of tough guy carrying BrendaÂ’s little pink flowered bag through the Las Vegas airport, to memories of heated debates that Dodge trucks are better than Chevy trucks are better than Ford trucks, to memories of watching Todd eat more crab legs than any one person should ever be able to eat, to the day Todd bought the ice castle that looked more like a Marriott than those little igloos I thought you guys in North Dakota used to go ice fishing, or photos of him and Seth and what looked like every goose in existence laying out on the grass after a successful hunt, Todd was one of a kind. He couldnÂ’t claim victory on the zipline race down Fremont Street, but he was quick to tell me that is only because I weighed too much. That was Todd!
Todd was a remarkable soldier and worker. He fought for the greatest country on earth in Desert Storm, and undoubtedly saw, and did, some incredibly difficult things in service for this country, without any expectation of reward in return. Upon returning from his military service, Todd worked in the medical field and then moved over to the missile maintenance job – which he absolutely loved! His coworkers over the years saw and knew what a rare gem Todd was, and they were lucky to have had the chance to work with him. One of Todd’s biggest mental challenges through this horrible disease was his concern that he wouldn’t be able to work at the job that he loved and felt so lucky to have. That was Todd.
Brenda has been an incredibly supportive and loving wife, keeping her patience and composure though some times that those of us in this room honestly cannot even imagine. She juggled many responsibilities but always made sure Todd was getting the care he deserved. Todd was quick to call Brenda his rock, and frequently said that she was the reason he fought so hard. My last real text from Todd was on August 4th, and it was a conversation about how proud he was of Seth. How grown up he is, and how he has really grown into a responsible and respectable man of honor. Those are the qualities that defined Todd, and that is what he saw in Seth in my last conversation with him. Dalton and Ryker lost their role model, but they have his genes. With the support of everyone in this room, they will grow to be like their dad.
Back to the beginning, by now several of you must be wondering… how did this dude that I’ve never seen or heard of come to stand up here today? Well, I first met Todd because both of us were fighting an addiction, an addiction that many of you in this room are harboring. Todd and I both dipped tobacco – we were nicotine addicts. Both of us were heavy users for decades. We met in an internet forum where thousands of us found support, and each other. Together we fought an addiction as hard to break as heroin. 4 addicts and our spouses met for 4 days in Vegas, and thank God we did. I asked Todd 2 weeks ago if he thought tobacco caused his cancer, and he gave me a long scientific medical answer that I didn’t understand, but it all boiled down to “absolutely.” Several of you guys, and maybe ladies, have a tin in your pocket. Even more of you have a pack of cigarettes and you are beginning to feel that little withdrawal from not having a puff for the last hour or so. There are the high school football players that are close friends of Seth that will throw one in after practice just to be cool. Todd and I did the same thing when we were your age. It took us DECADES to break that cycle.
I’m not judging any of you, because Todd and I WERE you. Telling you that Todd was a victim of the same thing you are inwardly itching to get outside and get a fix of won’t make a single one of you quit – because Todd and I heard these stories for decades. I can quit any time. But we both know – you really can’t. Yeah tobacco might cause cancer, but that happens to other people. Todd and I both said this stuff. But one day, we both decided to wake up and quit. And that is how fate came together to make this nerdy business guy from Kansas City and Todd forge a lifelong friendship. If you are in the throws of addition, I pray that you quit before it is too late. That, my friends, was Todd’s last wish that he typed on the support website “Kill The Can”. He hoped that his story would save at least one of you from being in the chemo chair, or having port after port installed. There have been almost 1,000 responses from quitters from California to Connecticut, Texas to Toronto - to Todd’s story on the website - and most have said that his words, his strength, and just him being him strengthened their resolve to quit and fueled their hated of tobacco. Honor Todd’s memory just like these people are, and talk with your children early and often and let them know that what seems cool at the time is nothing but a lie, and one with serious consequences.
Life without Todd will be very difficult for Brenda, Seth, and all of his family and friends going forward. That being said, Todd would not want us to be overwhelmed with sadness. He was a very strong and hillarious individual and would always look for the humor in any situation and would want us to do the same. LetÂ’s remember Todd for all of his great qualities and appreciate the time we spent with him. We should make sure that his memory lives on in all of us for as long as we live.

Thanks for posting this. Powerful story indeed. I haven't even yet gone to check Todds intro.
I admit to being skeptical of the certainty that Todds cancer was caused by Tobacco. after all colon cancer is common enough amongst non tobacco users as well. But then no comment in your soeach resonates with me more than the 'that happens to other people'. That was enjoying ugh for me for years.
But in the end for those of us left, none of that actually matters. What does matter is could you go through what Todd fought so bravely. Could you out your loved ones through that much hell. If you were the recipient of a cancer that definitelively was caused by tobacco? No thanks.

Michael -these remarks are quite moving and I know that the family and friends present for Todd's funeral will be touched. And perhaps his life story and your description of us will help spark at least one more person to join the quit and free themselves from slavery, and potentially a premature death. You are indeed a true friend to travel so far to pay respects. Peace, strength and safety in your travels.

Be safe my friend, you truly are a good friend, maybe just maybe at least one person will be touched enough from your eulogy to Todd that they will dump that shit on the ground in honor of him.

What a whirlwind few months. Between business and personal travel, ive been in almost 20 states in 8 weeks. Weddings. Funerals. Conferences. Meetings. Getaways with my hottie wife. Life.
Fall is here. And with it, a surprising aggressive return of whispers from nicotine. My first thought upon opening my eyes this morning... man you need to throw a dip in! That thought lingered for a few minutes until the cobwebs cleared out of my morning brain. Jumped up and posted roll. Now that stress is off my list.
Been reading a lot of new intros where guys are not posting roll. Big mistake guys. Big. The connections you make and the accountability work. Quitting is the best thing I've ever done for myself. Do it the right way, the ktc way, and it is actually life transformative. These annoying cravings will pass, and I'll still be a winner

This. We can never take out the addict but we can take away it's addiction. And it all starts with posting roll. Michael, approaching 4 years of quit, has never missed a day and is one of the finest quitters to grace these pages. If you want to win - quit like this guy. I do.

She is always searching for a weak point, isn't she Michael. One of those is before we post our promise for the day. And that makes all the difference. Keep winning brother. CJ

I can never find it, but I remember an intro from someone who was 10 years quit, had a dip on a hunting trip and bought a can on the way home. That thread really shook me up. It made me realize that I can't allow myself to drift at all. Any nicotine means back to square one. Fuck that!
Thanks W2W for responding to my intro. You help my quit big time and I am sure you are helping countless others. B)B

I still can't believe that you and KTC were born on the same day. Lots of destiny stuff seems to be going on with this website. I'm glad that I am quit today and I'll never forget that you responded to my introduction thread Michael. Encouragement was all that I really needed and you deliver it here all the time.
Happy Birthday my friend! B)B

4 years
Life is full of ups and downs. 4 years ago tomorrow I was emotional about losing my best friend, thebkodiak bear. That bear ride along with me on every car trip,,every business trip, and dulled the bumps that life brings to us in both good and bad ways.
This past year has been life on steroids. 3 out of town weddings (including our first gay wedding - much better food and decorations). Great quit meet in Vegas writhing trauma sage and mike from ab. Traumas funeral. And tomorrow, on my 4th anniversary, my dear mom is getting her entire leg amputated courtesy of cancer.
We all have these bumps. Some are worse than others. Some are better than other. But nicotine filled all of them. Not once in he past several months of high highs and low lows has nicotine crossed my mind. And it won't. Thanks to ktc and each of you. Cold turkey is the only way to be. See you tomorrow

4 years
Life is full of ups and downs. 4 years ago tomorrow I was emotional about losing my best friend, thebkodiak bear. That bear ride along with me on every car trip,,every business trip, and dulled the bumps that life brings to us in both good and bad ways.
This past year has been life on steroids. 3 out of town weddings (including our first gay wedding - much better food and decorations). Great quit meet in Vegas writhing trauma sage and mike from ab. Traumas funeral. And tomorrow, on my 4th anniversary, my dear mom is getting her entire leg amputated courtesy of cancer.
We all have these bumps. Some are worse than others. Some are better than other. But nicotine filled all of them. Not once in he past several months of high highs and low lows has nicotine crossed my mind. And it won't. Thanks to ktc and each of you. Cold turkey is the only way to be. See you tomorrow
Thanks for inspiring and leading W2W. Congrats on your 4 years!

1,500 days. This number seems, and looks, absolutely unreal. I still remember how horrible the beginning days were. The feels of hopelessness. Pain. Depression. Isolation. Utter misery. Feeling like it would never get better.
Well, it does. I haven't had a craving in I don't know when. Im a very independent person, but this is not a fight I could do alone. I thank each of you for getting me to a place where winning is now easy, after about 25 years of daily losing. I haven't missed posting roll a single day, and I won't. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me give myself this freedom.

Post roll every day + honor your word + participate + be accountable = 1500 days quit I think his formula works.

1,500 days. This number seems, and looks, absolutely unreal. I still remember how horrible the beginning days were. The feels of hopelessness. Pain. Depression. Isolation. Utter misery. Feeling like it would never get better.
Well, it does. I haven't had a craving in I don't know when. Im a very independent person, but this is not a fight I could do alone. I thank each of you for getting me to a place where winning is now easy, after about 25 years of daily losing. I haven't missed posting roll a single day, and I won't. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me give myself this freedom.
"I haven't missed posting roll a single day, and I won't"
This.
Despite the ease in winning that w2w has achieved, make no mistake, this man's pedal is to the floor. Maximum quit every day
Post roll every day + honor your word + participate + be accountable = 1500 days quit I think his formula works.
Congrats on 1500 days and keep on leading!
Congrats and thank you for all you do! Any new quitters reading that are reading this w2w is the perfect example of what a BAQ looks like. I suggest you try to emulate him to the best of your ability. If you do that you will not fail!
Echoing the congrats.... ODAAT but EDD
Amen, congrats man. Keep plowing the road for us. And as I told Pab, don't even think about slowing down, because I'll catch up to you, Im only 948 or so days behind!
All in.....and hammer is down.
BA.
Drafting you again tomorrow...Sir

A guy I went to high school with just died. Huge guy. He chewed and drank. A lot. I've seen pictures of him recently sitting in a wheelchair with a fucking oxygen mask on and a catheter Hanging off the wheelchair, and he is twirling his precious Copenhagen can in his fingers like acfidget spinner.
His daughter was driving him around and he stopped breathing. Pulled in to the local chevy dealer and they hauled him out of the car and did CPR in the parking lot, where he died.
My class was 230 people. 2 more are fighting jaw cancer. In a brutal painful disfiguring way. It isn't a coincidence that they all looked like hamsters with so much chew shoved in their mouths.
Rough living. Easy dying.

It does give us a shock when we realize as we look at others, that we could still be right there with them, IF we had not come to our own senses and realize what we were doing to ourselves.
It makes us glad we have found that way, the path to making our self better, making our self healthy both physically and mentally as we live life free of the poison.
And for one, life is so much better without it.
Condolences, may your friend be at peace and his family move on with his good memory.

3rd friend in 1 year that nicotine is about to claim. I'm 45 years old... no matter how much denial we try to employ, these odds are almost impossible without a toxic poison killing them. RIP Todd (Traumagnet), Jamie, and I'm praying for peace for Shannon and his family.
Fuck. Nicotine. This post is from his wife...
For those close friends and family who haven't already heard. Shannon is back in the hospital as of Thursday evening. I called paramedics when he started having trouble breathing only a few hours after coming home. New scan shows pneumonia. We spent yesterday dicussing options and decided together on Hospice care at home. He will remain in the hospital through the weekend as things are delivered and set up. This is the hardest thing a person can ever imagine. Please keep us in prayer and much love to those who are grieving with us.

Could have just as easily been me or you....
You know, Pab, these thoughts hit me frequently. It almost was you. It almost was me. Nicotine took my grandfather (colon cancer at around 78) and my dad (heart attack at 52). When I first quit, the guilt really weighed on me... How selfish I was and how stupid I was... And did I quit soon enough? But you and I heard the warning bells and we listened.
Addiction is part of who I am. It is part of who we are. I have managed this aspect of my personality as well as I believe I can, thanks to the great men and women on KTC. I cannot change the past. I cannot control the future. But today I quit with the bad ass quitters of KTC.

Worktowin 1,700!!!
Killer great day. Like, perfection! Napster, my basset hound that rules this house, decided to wake up early this morning. So at 530am I let him out and sat on the couch and logged in to Facebook for a quick stroll through other people's lives. What do I see... a quitter that I text with almost daily, Weedsta, checked into a hotel 3 blocks from my house last night! So, I reach out to him, and he was meeting 2 other quitters from April 17 (4 years behind my own group) for breakfast at 700, and I met up with them. Weedsta, KitKat, RandyH and I spent about an hour and a half together. What a great experience... and how rewarding to spend some time with guys that are on a journey to greatness. Thanks for the invite guys... you are really gonna like where you are headed.
From there, I went to the gym and kicked and punched some bags for a while, then came home and picked up Mrs. Worktowin and Mom of Worktowin at her place and took them to a cool botanical garden tour, then for some BBQ. And I'm not talking about North Carolina, or Memphis, or Texas (yeah, GDubya... that dig is for you) BBQ. I'm talking about real, salt of the earth, Kansas City kick ass BBQ. The kind that makes your eyes roll back in your head good. That stuff.
Came home, and Mrs. Worktowin decided to thank me for my tenacity at 1,700 (video is for sale on several internet sites for $5.95...) and tonight we are headed out to a nice dinner. When we get home, I have several 200mLs of JW Blue that I've been saving from work, and I think one of them will get cracked open. Yum.
Guys... 1,700 days ago I was a complete mess. A basket case. Just like some of you guys reading this right now. I found KTC 16 days later, at the lowest point of my entire life. This place keeps me accountable to everyone of you, every day. I have not missed one day of posting, and I will not. Winning is so sweet after 25 years of losing. I remember seeing people with 500 days... 1,000 days... and thinking - how did they do this? How is it possible? I remember feeling like bursting out in tears or wanting to lock myself into a room alone. How are these people doing this? Well, we do it one day at a time. We post our promise, and we keep it. I did it today, and I'll do it tomorrow.
If you'd told me what life would be like at 1,700 days, I would have called you a liar. I wouldn't have believed it. When people said "it gets better" I would have stared blankly and nodded, just like those 3 awesome quitters this morning kind of did when I said it. But it is true. Greatness does exist without nicotine, but I don't believe it is possible to achieve with nicotine.
Thanks for the kind words today. You guys saved my life. See you tomorrow.

When people said "it gets better" I would have stared blankly and nodded, just like those 3 awesome quitters this morning kind of did when I said it. But it is true. Greatness does exist without nicotine, but I don't believe it is possible to achieve with nicotine.
Thanks for the kind words today. You guys saved my life. See you tomorrow.
Legend.

Michael congrats on 17th floor - thank you. you are the reason I made it this far, and a lot of others can say the same. one of these days were going to meet up.
Congrats Michael on 1700 days quit. Thank you for your support and all you do around here for the sake of the quit and choosing health and life. â¤
Michael I hope I'm not too late to join the party on the 17th floor. No one has done more to reach out to me and let me know that this site is a brotherhood....or sisterhood, with real people offering real support. Like a lot of long time posters the thought of stopping posting has crossed my mind from time to time, and a big reason I don't think I could answer the text I'm sure I would get from you.....that is real accountability. Thank you.
As long as we both stay quit you will always be about 1000 days ahead of me. I can't thank you enough for helping me brother. :)
Congrats on 17x HOF!
Well you damned ole millennial hope you have a great eclipse weekend! Congratulations on the 17 floor
Yeah buddy! A most excellent number m'man!
Well done brother!
Congrats to one of the BAQs on this site! Thank you for all you do here!
Way to lead Michael. Thank you for all your support. You are a fucking BADASS!
Worktowin 1,700!!!
Killer great day. Like, perfection! Napster, my basset hound that rules this house, decided to wake up early this morning. So at 530am I let him out and sat on the couch and logged in to Facebook for a quick stroll through other people's lives. What do I see... a quitter that I text with almost daily, Weedsta, checked into a hotel 3 blocks from my house last night! So, I reach out to him, and he was meeting 2 other quitters from April 17 (4 years behind my own group) for breakfast at 700, and I met up with them. Weedsta, KitKat, RandyH and I spent about an hour and a half together. What a great experience... and how rewarding to spend some time with guys that are on a journey to greatness. Thanks for the invite guys... you are really gonna like where you are headed.
From there, I went to the gym and kicked and punched some bags for a while, then came home and picked up Mrs. Worktowin and Mom of Worktowin at her place and took them to a cool botanical garden tour, then for some BBQ. And I'm not talking about North Carolina, or Memphis, or Texas (yeah, GDubya... that dig is for you) BBQ. I'm talking about real, salt of the earth, Kansas City kick ass BBQ. The kind that makes your eyes roll back in your head good. That stuff.
Came home, and Mrs. Worktowin decided to thank me for my tenacity at 1,700 (video is for sale on several internet sites for $5.95...) and tonight we are headed out to a nice dinner. When we get home, I have several 200mLs of JW Blue that I've been saving from work, and I think one of them will get cracked open. Yum.
Guys... 1,700 days ago I was a complete mess. A basket case. Just like some of you guys reading this right now. I found KTC 16 days later, at the lowest point of my entire life. This place keeps me accountable to everyone of you, every day. I have not missed one day of posting, and I will not. Winning is so sweet after 25 years of losing. I remember seeing people with 500 days... 1,000 days... and thinking - how did they do this? How is it possible? I remember feeling like bursting out in tears or wanting to lock myself into a room alone. How are these people doing this? Well, we do it one day at a time. We post our promise, and we keep it. I did it today, and I'll do it tomorrow.
If you'd told me what life would be like at 1,700 days, I would have called you a liar. I wouldn't have believed it.

Legend.
Always living life to the fullest. You've set an example in so many ways. My greatest wish for you is to finally experience the greatness that is Texas BBQ. But until then, looks like you'll be staying busy as an awesome husband, son, and Quit trail blazer. Congrats Micheal on a job well done !!!

From my good friend Bicycleptic, who IÂ’ve met in person and text with daily. This may be the best post IÂ’ve ever seen on this site:
For Gods sake can someone please explain to me what is so fucking hard about posting roll every damn day and keeping a promise one day at a time?? Sometimes I swear I have to stop posting in the new groups because I just don't see how someone can be so retarded as to cave. We are not asking for a miracle here. Wake up every morning, take a piss and then get on the desktop, tablet, or phone and post roll. Posting roll is making a promise. Can you keep a promise? If you cannot keep a promise then fuck off, go away and don't post roll. Come back to quit when you become a man. Once you post roll and have made a promise then keep the promise!!! DON'T stuff catshit in your pie hole!! Dammit what is so complicated about it?
I might cave if I quit posting. But I am a man of my word. It is really all you have not only here but everywhere in life. So I awaken every day and post a promise. I still after 665 days face the occasional craving. But then "Nope, I made a promise this morning." Last week I stopped for a tea and for some reason Redman Golden Blend caught my eye. Skoal Long Cut was my regular day to day chew but Redman Golden Blend was my outdoor I can spit all I want chew. My daily vow to keep my promise was all that kept me away from buying a pouch of it. I did not become a worthless piece of shit that went against my word and hated having to answer three questions.
There is no acceptable excuse to cave. You made a promise. If you can't keep that promise then I feel sorry for people in your life. Your wife, mother, boss, electric company, water company, mortgage company, car finance company, etc. Do you say fuck it in keeping a promise to all of them as well? I just don't get it. I pay my bills on time. I get up and go to work every day. All of that is keeping a promise. I don't cheat on my wife, another promise I keep. So keeping a promise one day at a time to not suck on cancerous cat shit is not to complicated to me. Some of you cavers please enlighten me why it is so damned difficult. Everyone says to ask the vets questions. But right now I want to ask cavers the question of how? Why? Personally I really don't give a fuck why you caved. All of the answers are a bunch of weakass sour excuses for being a man who cannot keep his word. What I really want to know is why don't you keep your word? Do you keep your word with your wife? Your creditors? Your work? I wonder because you can't keep your word with yourself or your fellow quitters!!!

Good stuff! In my case I had to be ready to quit. I lived my life as a perpetual caver for way too many years. If I wasn't really ready I doubt I would have posted roll that first time. If I hadn't posted roll that first time I probably wouldn't still be quit today. I can't wait to quit again tomorrow. B)B

It is truly amazing about what we can learn when we keep our word each day.
But it all starts with that promise, to ourselves, to our families, to our brothers and sisters here.
We say use the tools to remain quit, we can also say use the tools to keep your word.

5 years ago this morning I had my last dip. I was terrified. For 25 years nicotine had been my go to for celebrations. For sorrows. It had gotten me through arguments and celebrations.
It also had turned me into a liar. A sneaky deceitful guy that made excuses and lied to have an affair with a chopped up plant in a can. I was angry. Fat. Felt bad. On my way to an early heart attack. And I was very unhappy.
5 years ago I had no idea what I was doing. I honestly thought it would be like the other 2,000 times I’d “quit”, and it would have been if I hadn’t found this place. Every day without exception I post roll and I keep my word. Was it hard? Oh fuck yes. Is it hard? Lol... absolutely NOT. For a long time it was. Then things started to click. And quitting has made me a better husband and person.
If I can do this, you can do this. ItÂ’s Christmas Eve. Give yourself and your family the best gift ever. Get your name on roll.
Thanks to KTC for letting this guy finally win at his biggest failing!
God Bless you all.

Congrats to you Michael! Your quitting exemplifies what KTC is all about. Because for everything it has given to you, you have reached out and shared with a multitude of quitters. I am one of those guys. There is so much to celebrate on Christmas Eve - very much for you this year. Thank you!

5 years ago this morning I had my last dip. I was terrified. For 25 years nicotine had been my go to for celebrations. For sorrows. It had gotten me through arguments and celebrations.
It also had turned me into a liar. A sneaky deceitful guy that made excuses and lied to have an affair with a chopped up plant in a can. I was angry. Fat. Felt bad. On my way to an early heart attack. And I was very unhappy.
5 years ago I had no idea what I was doing. I honestly thought it would be like the other 2,000 times I’d “quit”, and it would have been if I hadn’t found this place. Every day without exception I post roll and I keep my word. Was it hard? Oh fuck yes. Is it hard? Lol... absolutely NOT. For a long time it was. Then things started to click. And quitting has made me a better husband and person.
If I can do this, you can do this. ItÂ’s Christmas Eve. Give yourself and your family the best gift ever. Get your name on roll.

The war on tobacco is on. I was never tough enough to chew unflavored tobacco. Every time I tried I about gagged. So.... this is good news.
Unfortunately there is a new American love affair with those douche vape pipes. More nic, more directly, easier to hide, loved my the kiddos. Fuck big tobacco for their deceitful way.

265 days. Time for a look back....
265 days ago I felt terrible. I slept all the time. Had no energy. Was miserable and irritable. Life was a grind... Go to work, work hard, come home, collapse, start over. Chew at every point in between when I could.
Went to the doctor in December and was told why I felt terrible. High blood pressure, out of control diabetes, high cholesterol, low t, low blood o2, too much alcohol, too much of the wrong food, and... I chewed. On December 24th I took my life back.
The first month was hell. My withdrawals were miserable, I missed the sugary desserts, the rich potatoes, the never ending booze. But mostly the kodiak. The fog blanketed me for over a month. Still, every morning at 5 I went to the gym. I maintained my diet regimen, and I kept posting roll every day. The month turned into months. I made friends on this site. I've met several of you, and my commitment strengthened.
This week at work started with a lot of change. In the end - all good change - but still change. 265 days ago I would have barricaded myself in my office and opened a can - probably 2. This week I battened down and worked through the situation. And I'll do the same next week. No complaining, no agitation or irritability, just push through it! Control what I can control - let the rest go!
Later this week I went for a return trip to the doctor. My doctor is a young athletic type. He started laughing when he walked in. Said that he wouldnt have recognized me. Confirmed that I threw all of my meds out 3 months ago, and then told me my results were crazy excellent. Better than his own results. I've lost almost 60 lbs and gained a lot of muscle, turned every bad result to the good, stuck with the exercise and diet, but here is the thing...
None of that would have mattered if I still chewed. Here is why... In the end, that Kodiak bear ruled my life. I would have come up with an excuse to skip the gym so I could chew. And i could sneak some extra chew in the car if i drove thru mcdonalds for dinner instead of going home and making a salad. My time management was all built around maximizing my relationship with tobacco. My win this week is thanks to a pyramid of change - but my commitment to each of you every day is the base of the pyramid.
I cannot put into words to each of you that have led me, walked with me, or have given me the pleasure to walk with you thru what has been a life changing experience have done for me. Quitting has changed and saved my life.
Thank you to my ktc family--- I could not have done this without you.
Damn proud to be quit with you. I suspect it only gets better. What do you say we just keep on walking this road and see what is over that next hill.
Before we know it, those months will have turned into years, and the shackles of nicotine will be but a distant memory. It is then, that we will need each other most. In case one of us should become complacent or forget what it means to be an addict.
Enjoy your new found freedom Worktowin, but keep your quit close and keep your guard up always. Remember all the quit in the world can be given back in the blink of an eye, one bad decision, one drunken night, etc, etc,. Like they say, we are never more than a dip away from being back to a tin a day. NEVER AGAIN FOR ANY REASON. Quit with you today.
Ryan
I absolutely love posts like this. This is the kind of post that kept me going when I was in my 2nd and 3rd week (EVEN LONGER). These kind of posts let me know there were better days ahead.
I remember thinking, is It true? When will I come around this quit corner? When will the bumps subside and the turns become less frequent. When will I get my mind back. The roller coaster of quit sucks.
Then someone would put a post out there like this one. This post right here lets you know that everything does get easier. Everything does get so much better. Being quit it going to be so much better than this slave driven life that I was living....
I to, feel like work towin and got2 now and I can tell you that it is so worth it. I feel like a new person. My wife and kids see a different and better person. Everyone that knows me sees a different, but better person. I like this new person. This person is in so much more control of his life. This person is so much healthier.
If work towin and got2 don't mind, I would like to continue down this quit road with them. I sure am liking this road so much better than the last road I was on.
Glad to be quit with you gentlemen. Everyone out there early in your quit,,, It gets so much better,,,, BELIEVE IT!! Stay the course,, you WON'T be SORRY!!!!
I got to say I am damn proud to be quit with you brother! You have a lot to be proud of here at day 265. You are an inspiration and a asset to this site. I am so QLF with you today that it is not even funny!
ALL I AM GOING TO SAY IS THIS.... YOU INSPIRE ME! I FEEL LIKE I CAN RELATE TO YOU IN ALOT OF WAYS AND WHEN I THINK THINGS ARE HARD, ITS ENCOURAGING TO REMEMBER YOUR TRANSFORMATION. YOU ARE A BADASS AND IM GLAD I HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW YOU!
I think I'm a day or two behind on posting on this, but what the hell. You inspire me. There's a lot of parallels in our early stories. Thank you for being the friend and mentor you are and for sticking around! Man you are/were me, and you inspire me.

Day 2,006. Yesterday I had the first craving I've had in years. Seriously, in like 2 years. I was driving home after a long day, and my wife is out of town. It is very rare for her to be gone when I am in town... so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Hitting my milestone last week also tends to bring these events on, but in any event, it was out of the blue. Texted a couple of dudes in my group. They, coincidentally, mentioned having either a craving or a fucking dip dream in the past week. I pushed that thought aside, got some Chinese (non cat-ish) food, and went home and mowed the lawn.
2,000 days. Wow. I remember seeing day counts like this and thinking... no fucking way dude. I don't believe it. Not possible. Well, it is possible. It really isn't even that hard after you push through the start and learn how this place works. Make connections. Make friends. Build a network. POST ROLL EVERY DAY. No exceptions. HONOR YOUR WORD. Quit as a team. Brotherhood + Accountability.
A lot has happened in 2,000 days. I've had 4 promotions at work. My income has doubled. My wife and I have the best relationship we've ever had. I don't lie anymore to her. I've made more friends here than I can even describe - good, honest, quality people. I've lost a good friend here to cancer, caused by tobacco. I've encountered family joy, and family tragedy. On day 1,999 my father-in-law was diagnosed out of the blue with esophageal cancer... he used to smoke many years ago. I've had higher highs, and lower lows in the past 2,000 days than I can describe, and I've dealt with all of them like an adult - not like an addict.
I'm very, very, very humbled to be a part of this community. I'm honored to have met so many friends on here, and to walk with many of you on your walk to freedom. I also thank all of you that have helped me on my own journey, as I simply cannot do this alone. But together, we cannot fail. We won't.
God Bless KTC, and all of you.

They, coincidentally, mentioned having either a craving or a fucking dip dream in the past week. I pushed that thought aside, got some Chinese (non cat-ish) food, and went home and mowed the lawn.
2,000 days. Wow. I remember seeing day counts like this and thinking... no fucking way dude. I don't believe it. Not possible. Well, it is possible. It really isn't even that hard after you push through the start and learn how this place works. Make connections. Make friends. Build a network. POST ROLL EVERY DAY. No exceptions. HONOR YOUR WORD. Quit as a team. Brotherhood + Accountability.
A lot has happened in 2,000 days. I've had 4 promotions at work. My income has doubled. My wife and I have the best relationship we've ever had. I don't lie anymore to her. I've made more friends here than I can even describe - good, honest, quality people. I've lost a good friend here to cancer, caused by tobacco. I've encountered family joy, and family tragedy. On day 1,999 my father-in-law was diagnosed out of the blue with esophageal cancer... he used to smoke many years ago. I've had higher highs, and lower lows in the past 2,000 days than I can describe, and I've dealt with all of them like an adult - not like an addict.
I'm very, very, very humbled to be a part of this community. I'm honored to have met so many friends on here, and to walk with many of you on your walk to freedom. I also thank all of you that have helped me on my own journey, as I simply cannot do this alone. But together, we cannot fail. We won't.
God Bless KTC, and all of you.

Day 2,006. Yesterday I had the first craving I've had in years. Seriously, in like 2 years. I was driving home after a long day, and my wife is out of town. It is very rare for her to be gone when I am in town... so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Hitting my milestone last week also tends to bring these events on, but in any event, it was out of the blue. Texted a couple of dudes in my group. They, coincidentally, mentioned having either a craving or a fucking dip dream in the past week. I pushed that thought aside, got some Chinese (non cat-ish) food, and went home and mowed the lawn.

I love you guys, and I love this place. 2.307 days ago I embarked on a journey that at the time I thought was impossible. I thought it would be another epic failure, just like the hundreds of other "quits" that I encountered over the years. Then I found KTC. This family has kept me honest and nicotine free, and made me a much better man than I was before.
If you are new here - it is not easy at first, but I swear on my life that it does get better. Better than you can even imagine. Quitting nicotine will improve your life in ways that you never imagined. If you use this site and all that it has to offer, you will gain friendships with people that are as driven as you are, and you will win together. There is nothing that we can't accomplish as a team.
Onward and upward--

September 17, 1989
30 years ago today
It was Sunday. I was 2 weeks into my Senior year of High School. My mom had just finished a year round of chemo for her breast cancer, and things were looking pretty good. I was headed to a nice college next year, was going on a date with my hottie girlfriend (now my wife) that night. My parents were headed to see my brother in a city about 50 miles away. And then I got the call... my dad had a heart attack and passed away. At 51 years old. Nicotine.
At the time, I was balls deep in my own nicotine addiction, but my dad huffed on a pipe like kids huff on juuls these days. It was his friend, and it contributed to his heart problems. He was young, in pretty good shape, thin, exercised, but his blood pressure and cholesterol were all sky high no matter what he did. September 17, 1989 was a day that changed my life forever. Nicotine took another family member, my closest one, and altered my life in ways that I wouldn't have imagined. But... it didn't make me quit chewing.
That happened 20 some odd years later, when my doctor told me that I was on the same path that my dad was on. So... thanks to this website and all of you, I did the un-doable. I quit. All in, I came on this site and listened, was schooled, and followed the program. 2.460 days later, I haven't missed posting in April 2013 one single day, and I won't. That is the least I can do to honor myself, my family, and my dad... because I managed to do something that he couldn't.
These days, quitting is so easy. It seems so ridiculous that I indulged in a filthy, dangerous, expensive addiction when I knew better. But thats what nicotine does... hooks us young, and then it kills us young. Well, not me... Kodiak. I am winning.
Rest in peace, dad.

8 years ago today, 2,923 days, I quit.
16 days later, an emotional weak almost suicidal version of myself found this place.
You all have helped me accomplished the one thing that I couldn’t win at alone. That I failed at day, after day, after day.... for 20+ years. That failure defined me more than I knew, and the values and friendships I’ve gained here have made me a much better person than I used to be. A better friend. Spouse. Son. Employee. Citizen.
I thank all of you, the team here at KTC, for your part in helping me. We are a big family here, and we win together.
God Bless, and Merry Christmas.

Time to dust this intro off again, and celebrate 3,000 days of winning!
Yep, 3,000! Honestly, I can't believe it. I can't believe it, because for over 20 years I tried damn near every day to quit. I threw out literally thousands of partially full cans of Kodiak Wintergreen. And the next day I shamefully would return to the closed possible gas station in a near panic to get my fix on my way to work. I hid shamefully from my family, from my friends... I made every excuse in the book for the endless showers that weren't about getting clean, or the long escapes during the weekend in the car where I'd drive around alone or park in some parking lot like I was scoring crack. And then.... I went to see my doctor. And he told me that I was too fat, with too many results in the "off the charts" category in all the wrong way, and here are a bunch of prescriptions that you need to start on NOW, but also, you might want to brush up on your life insurance.
Well, I was around 40 at the time. And my dad, a physically fit small dude that liked his pipe tobacco way too well, well he died at 52 all of the sudden, and it hit me that I had to quit. Had to! So, I did. And on Day 16 I woke up in a very dark place, the darkest of my life. I was shaking, crying like a baby uncontrollably, and just lost and completely hopeless. And I got on the internet and found this place. I was schooled QUICKLY that this wasn't a habit, it is an addiction. That I will post every day or I'll fail. That I'm not alone. That other people had done every single thing I had done and felt every single feeling I had. And that quitting is possible, but you gotta do it right. And, I listened.
3,000 days later, I am so quit that it is ridiculous. And it is sooooooooooooo easy now. Everyone said, this will get easy. Well, it did. Not in 50 days, or 100. By a year, it wasn't hard, but there were still days. I still remember cravings in the 500s, but day by day, it got easier. I made friends along the way, and I mean good friends. I was best man in a wedding of a quitter in Calgary that I talk to every day.... and now I'm spending a lot of time talking him through his divorce. I text about 20 guys a day, and literally I feel about most of them like they are my own brothers. And of course, Todd... who died way too soon, but left behind a great wife and son that my wife and I talk to almost daily, and we see in person at least once a year, even in these times of Covid.
I'm a much better person than I was 3,000 days ago. I'm honest, I'm direct, and I'm engaged. I'm not trying to escape. My marriage is better, and my wife is happier. My income has multiplied and my responsibilities for my employer have as well. I'm a better son to a mother that demands and deserves a lot of attention. I'm a better friend. And overall, I'm just so much happier than I ever imagined I could be. There was always an underlying anger, tension.... that I think was low level withdrawal always on the cusp of breaking through. Well, that is gone now.
I've gone through some of the roughest points in my life in the past 3,000 days. My wife ending up in ICU from a diabetic crisis. A really kind boss getting fired... I was handed her job.... her suing us and me being smack in the middle of it. My mom having her leg amputated unexpectedly and having to move her to an assisted living facility - and learning how to deal with not only a severe disability as also the constant management of "institutional care" that is necessary. And in just the past couple of weeks, my brother learning of his Stage 4 oral cancer.... the kind that those of use that used tobacco for 20+ years fear.... but someone like him that never touched tobacco in his life. His journey with massive chemotherapy and radiation begins on Monday, and deep down I'm scared, but also feel a sense of guilt that I know I shouldn't, but I do anyway. Why is my brother, the kindest person I know, going through this when I "asked for it" for over 20 years? Life is full of challenges, but together, we push ahead.
Through all of these events, my online family has been by my side. In 3,000 days everyone has their own stories, and I'm so honored to have this support system in place. Because, any of these events would have easily triggered a cave in my past life.... but now, ain't no way I'm letting anyone down.
This is a long post, and for that I apologize. But I find it helpful to look back over time and see where I was, and where I am. I feel like Iron Man this morning when it comes to nicotine. It is a joke, and it won't control me today. I'll post roll. I'll text by brothers. And I'll win again today.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you. For those of you just joining this process..... guys if some fat ass unhealthy crying dude like me can do this, I can promise you that you can as well. Post your promise. Keep your word. Reach out for help. And make connections.
God Bless KTC and the KTC family,
worktowin/3,000

Well, I was around 40 at the time. And my dad, a physically fit small dude that liked his pipe tobacco way too well, well he died at 52 all of the sudden, and it hit me that I had to quit. Had to! So, I did. And on Day 16 I woke up in a very dark place, the darkest of my life. I was shaking, crying like a baby uncontrollably, and just lost and completely hopeless. And I got on the internet and found this place. I was schooled QUICKLY that this wasn't a habit, it is an addiction. That I will post every day or I'll fail. That I'm not alone. That other people had done every single thing I had done and felt every single feeling I had. And that quitting is possible, but you gotta do it right. And, I listened.
3,000 days later, I am so quit that it is ridiculous. And it is sooooooooooooo easy now. Everyone said, this will get easy. Well, it did. Not in 50 days, or 100. By a year, it wasn't hard, but there were still days. I still remember cravings in the 500s, but day by day, it got easier. I made friends along the way, and I mean good friends. I was best man in a wedding of a quitter in Calgary that I talk to every day.... and now I'm spending a lot of time talking him through his divorce. I text about 20 guys a day, and literally I feel about most of them like they are my own brothers. And of course, Todd... who died way too soon, but left behind a great wife and son that my wife and I talk to almost daily, and we see in person at least once a year, even in these times of Covid.
I'm a much better person than I was 3,000 days ago. I'm honest, I'm direct, and I'm engaged. I'm not trying to escape. My marriage is better, and my wife is happier. My income has multiplied and my responsibilities for my employer have as well. I'm a better son to a mother that demands and deserves a lot of attention. I'm a better friend. And overall, I'm just so much happier than I ever imagined I could be. There was always an underlying anger, tension.... that I think was low level withdrawal always on the cusp of breaking through. Well, that is gone now.
I've gone through some of the roughest points in my life in the past 3,000 days. My wife ending up in ICU from a diabetic crisis. A really kind boss getting fired... I was handed her job.... her suing us and me being smack in the middle of it. My mom having her leg amputated unexpectedly and having to move her to an assisted living facility - and learning how to deal with not only a severe disability as also the constant management of "institutional care" that is necessary. And in just the past couple of weeks, my brother learning of his Stage 4 oral cancer.... the kind that those of use that used tobacco for 20+ years fear.... but someone like him that never touched tobacco in his life. His journey with massive chemotherapy and radiation begins on Monday, and deep down I'm scared, but also feel a sense of guilt that I know I shouldn't, but I do anyway. Why is my brother, the kindest person I know, going through this when I "asked for it" for over 20 years? Life is full of challenges, but together, we push ahead.
Through all of these events, my online family has been by my side. In 3,000 days everyone has their own stories, and I'm so honored to have this support system in place. Because, any of these events would have easily triggered a cave in my past life.... but now, ain't no way I'm letting anyone down.
This is a long post, and for that I apologize. But I find it helpful to look back over time and see where I was, and where I am. I feel like Iron Man this morning when it comes to nicotine. It is a joke, and it won't control me today. I'll post roll. I'll text by brothers. And I'll win again today.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you. For those of you just joining this process..... guys if some fat ass unhealthy crying dude like me can do this, I can promise you that you can as well. Post your promise. Keep your word. Reach out for help. And make connections.
God Bless KTC and the KTC family,

Time to dust this intro off again, and celebrate 3,000 days of winning!
Yep, 3,000! Honestly, I can't believe it. I can't believe it, because for over 20 years I tried damn near every day to quit. I threw out literally thousands of partially full cans of Kodiak Wintergreen. And the next day I shamefully would return to the closed possible gas station in a near panic to get my fix on my way to work. I hid shamefully from my family, from my friends... I made every excuse in the book for the endless showers that weren't about getting clean, or the long escapes during the weekend in the car where I'd drive around alone or park in some parking lot like I was scoring crack. And then.... I went to see my doctor. And he told me that I was too fat, with too many results in the "off the charts" category in all the wrong way, and here are a bunch of prescriptions that you need to start on NOW, but also, you might want to brush up on your life insurance.

God Bless KTC and the KTC family,

Time to dust this intro off again, and celebrate 3,000 days of winning!
Yep, 3,000! Honestly, I can't believe it. I can't believe it, because for over 20 years I tried damn near every day to quit. I threw out literally thousands of partially full cans of Kodiak Wintergreen. And the next day I shamefully would return to the closed possible gas station in a near panic to get my fix on my way to work. I hid shamefully from my family, from my friends... I made every excuse in the book for the endless showers that weren't about getting clean, or the long escapes during the weekend in the car where I'd drive around alone or park in some parking lot like I was scoring crack. And then.... I went to see my doctor. And he told me that I was too fat, with too many results in the "off the charts" category in all the wrong way, and here are a bunch of prescriptions that you need to start on NOW, but also, you might want to brush up on your life insurance.
Well, I was around 40 at the time. And my dad, a physically fit small dude that liked his pipe tobacco way too well, well he died at 52 all of the sudden, and it hit me that I had to quit. Had to! So, I did. And on Day 16 I woke up in a very dark place, the darkest of my life. I was shaking, crying like a baby uncontrollably, and just lost and completely hopeless. And I got on the internet and found this place. I was schooled QUICKLY that this wasn't a habit, it is an addiction. That I will post every day or I'll fail. That I'm not alone. That other people had done every single thing I had done and felt every single feeling I had. And that quitting is possible, but you gotta do it right. And, I listened.
3,000 days later, I am so quit that it is ridiculous. And it is sooooooooooooo easy now. Everyone said, this will get easy. Well, it did. Not in 50 days, or 100. By a year, it wasn't hard, but there were still days. I still remember cravings in the 500s, but day by day, it got easier. I made friends along the way, and I mean good friends. I was best man in a wedding of a quitter in Calgary that I talk to every day.... and now I'm spending a lot of time talking him through his divorce. I text about 20 guys a day, and literally I feel about most of them like they are my own brothers. And of course, Todd... who died way too soon, but left behind a great wife and son that my wife and I talk to almost daily, and we see in person at least once a year, even in these times of Covid.
I'm a much better person than I was 3,000 days ago. I'm honest, I'm direct, and I'm engaged. I'm not trying to escape. My marriage is better, and my wife is happier. My income has multiplied and my responsibilities for my employer have as well. I'm a better son to a mother that demands and deserves a lot of attention. I'm a better friend. And overall, I'm just so much happier than I ever imagined I could be. There was always an underlying anger, tension.... that I think was low level withdrawal always on the cusp of breaking through. Well, that is gone now.
I've gone through some of the roughest points in my life in the past 3,000 days. My wife ending up in ICU from a diabetic crisis. A really kind boss getting fired... I was handed her job.... her suing us and me being smack in the middle of it. My mom having her leg amputated unexpectedly and having to move her to an assisted living facility - and learning how to deal with not only a severe disability as also the constant management of "institutional care" that is necessary. And in just the past couple of weeks, my brother learning of his Stage 4 oral cancer.... the kind that those of use that used tobacco for 20+ years fear.... but someone like him that never touched tobacco in his life. His journey with massive chemotherapy and radiation begins on Monday, and deep down I'm scared, but also feel a sense of guilt that I know I shouldn't, but I do anyway. Why is my brother, the kindest person I know, going through this when I "asked for it" for over 20 years? Life is full of challenges, but together, we push ahead.
Through all of these events, my online family has been by my side. In 3,000 days everyone has their own stories, and I'm so honored to have this support system in place. Because, any of these events would have easily triggered a cave in my past life.... but now, ain't no way I'm letting anyone down.
This is a long post, and for that I apologize. But I find it helpful to look back over time and see where I was, and where I am. I feel like Iron Man this morning when it comes to nicotine. It is a joke, and it won't control me today. I'll post roll. I'll text by brothers. And I'll win again today.

Day 3,159.
I'm so thankful and honored to be a part of this elite group. Right now, as the world continues to go through waves of "fucked up beyond absolutely all belief" on a daily basis - sooooooooo many people are feeding their addictions at an escalating rate - and I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to enjoy freedom.
Since March:
I moved my mom from assisted living to the care center. I put her on hospice. 30 days later I said goodbye to her for the last time on this earth. For a month before and up to the end, the covid-madness took a brief reprieve, and we were able to visit her in person like we used to do. My brother and I were blessed to be at her side when she left us.
My brother finished his treatment plans for oral cancer and was given preliminary good results. My mom knew that before she passed away.
Wife and I went to LV for a week and were able to do so again between waves of shutdown/masking/etc, and feel like a normal getaway. Met Traumagnet's wife and her new friend to celebrate her 50th birthday while we were there.
Traumagnet left us 5 years ago this week.
Last week, my brother got news that his oral cancer has spread, rapidly and aggressively, throughout his large bones. Pelvis, collarbone, spine, femurs, etc. The prognosis is grim, and we all know it. This guy never chewed a minute in his life and is the kindest, most gentle and caring person I know. He is an Episcopalian priest who has given his life to help others.
It would be easy to make excuses and cave, like I always did in the past. To say.... you know what, Steven never chewed and he still got cancer. Its gonna get me one way or another, so why not? But thanks to you guys, that's not an option.
This is not a great time for many of us. Life isn't always fair. This message isn't uplifting or cheery, but it is my reality right now. Times will change, but good times or bad - I'm here for the long haul.
Thanks for your continued support. God Bless all of you on this journey.

With you my friend and you are in our prayers. One of the most difficult parts of being a christian is just excepting what is given to us. The Lord will heal us wether its here on earth or in heaven. We are all in his hands and we have an awesome Father for sure. Keep blogging it out, we are here for ya.

Day 3,336
Wax on. Wax off. Mask on. Mask off. The world is a crazy, confusing place these days.
Quitting is easy these days. I miss the days when the intros were full of new topics and messed up new quitters, but it is the times we live in.
Tomorrow I'm beginning a leave of absence from my job to go down and take care of my brother in his last days. The tongue cancer spread was as aggressive as we feared, and the fight was not successful. This has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Steven is my best friend, and I've known him longer than I've known anyone on earth. Kind, giving, caring, intelligent beyond belief. Such a waste at 56 to lose him. But I'm so thankful that I've taken the steps to prevent this from happening to me, and I'm so thankful that he's been in my life.
Life is a roller coaster, and the past couple of years have sure been full of wild rides. Quitting nicotine, joining this site, making friends, posting daily.... all the best decisions I've ever made.
Appreciate your thoughts and prayers over the coming days. And, as always, I'm honored to quit with every one of you.

10 years ago today I decided to quit for the millionth time. I struggled for 16 days in a haze of confusion and fog before I found this miracle online.
The past 10 years have been the best, and the worst, of my life. Through it all I’ve posted every day and made friends of integrity that mean the world to me and that I will not fail or betray.
God bless each of you, thank you for the support, and Merry Christmas to you all
