Want to introduce myself. Dave here from PA. Career Firefighter and Cope Dipper from High School (20+ years). Decided this is the year I’m going to quit!!

Welcome, fellow first responder. Team Blue, here. You're probably going to get some responses like this: "Sounds good, man. Quit NOW!" That's what I got when I first posted on KTC, and I'm glad I did. I'm 3 days quit and reading a lot on this site has me looking forward to a life free from the lip dirt.
-
No time like the present to go and jump feet first into this quit.
Flush the rest of that can go post your promise not to use nicotine for next 24 hours. You can find your group HERE (https://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?topic=916.1080).
Post your promise, keep your word and come back tomorrow and do it again.
You can do it brother.

Welcome! No day like today to get rid of the habit. I just recently quit, Day 3, this place has been a huge help for me so far.
I am FF/EMT outside of my main job. I know the industry is heavy with users, hang in there brother.
One day at a time, together!

Dave,
The longer you wait, the more your addict brain will come up with excuses to keep you from quitting. I'm totally serious, flush whatever you have left down the toilet and go post your Day 1. You will not regret it. As soon as you do, my phone number will be waiting in your private messages. We use phones to help keep each other accountable outside of the forum and they also help build our brotherhood.
Do it now. Flush and post.

Everything is gone except for the Smokey Mountain I bought.

Awesome! Now just hold to it and go to bed and then wake up and post Day 2 tomorrow and hold your promise...because that is all we have, right? Stand by your word and hold to it...come here and read up as you get a crave. Call someone from here and share your number so you have a lifeline if you are staring at the wall of death at the gas station. It is a ride...but the best one you will ever take!
The FREEDOM from this drug is awesome...dig in deep and as each day passes by, it will get easier and easier. Glad you made this decision!
-
Some great advice up there. Welcome!! Volly and EMR myself... glad to have you. Just quit one day at a time, one shift at a time, one call at a time and soon you will have more days behind you!

Dave, welcome brother! Come on over to April and post roll. I’m a career firefighter out west and have been splitting time living in the firehouse for 16 years. Jump in to April, we’d love to have you.

Today in one hour, I will be at six days quit. Terrible jitters and aches today, the worst since quitting.
-
Hey @Dagribble (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1784) - I found your old intro and merged it with your new one. Each quitter only gets one.
Glad you found your way back. What are you going to do differently this time? It's a pity you aren't over 2 years quit right now...
-
I tried (2) years ago to quit, fell of the wagon. Just turned 47 last week and going to do this!

@Dagribble (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1784) here is the link to take your freedom back https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16984.0. Wake up, piss, and post your promise to stay nicotine free for the day. Then keep your word. Repeat the process the following day. Simple but can be hard. Reason I suggest you build solid relationships with fellow quitters.
Be prepared to answer the 3 questions in your new and old group:
1. what happened?
2. why did it happen?
3. what are you going to do different this time to prevent a cave?

Would be great to be able to talk with other quitters. The reason for falling off the wagon,
Going through a tough divorce. Felt my dip was my only friend.

Hey Dagribble. Career Fireman/EMT here as well. It gets better. Slow as shit but it gets better. Make it through the day. Close your eyes. WUPP and repeat. Just 24 hours at a time. You can do just about anything for a day.
Reach out if I can help
Hold the line brother

Start posting roll and take advantage of the brother/sisterhood. It is so much easier to quit with a bunch of fellow quitters at your side.

Quitting by myself never worked. I tried that road many times and I always failed. I'm at day 2,062 quitting here at KTC with a team of supporters. It works.

Just to be clear, nobody falls off the wagon. Its a conscious decision.
You chose to put that cat shit back in your mouth.
Have you truly decided now not to use any more nicotine today?
Why should we believe you this time?
Are you ready to BE quit instead of trying to quit?
Quitting is as easy as deciding not to use today, making a promise saying as much and keeping your word.
Are you man (or woman) enough to make a promise and keep your word for 24 hours?
All we ask here is for you to promise not to ingest nicotine in any form today and then keep your word.
If you are committed to this then the expectation is that you will make the same decision tomorrow and then again keep your word.
It is a simple formula, but the beginning is very hard to do.
Anyone can do just about anything for 24 hours, here we commit to doing that daily.
Are you ready for that this time?
Or will this just be another attempt?
Attempts suck more than the suck.
Every time you try and fail, you have to start over. Almost nothing is as painful as days 1, 2, and 3.
How may times do you want to go through day 1?
I know I do not ever want to do that again.
If you are ready to be done, and never experience day 1 again, then sack up; make your promise; and keep that shit out of your mouth.
We will plan to see you here again tomorrow for day 7.
I see that you were going through a tough divorce and made the weak ass decision to use nicotine to sooth your fucking soul.
Life happens every day and its not always kind, what will you do when life throws you another curve ball?
being quit means that nothing will allow you to choose nicotine over freedom. Are you ready for that commitment?
Can you stay quit when Lassie dies, when you get divorced, when you lose your job, when you have a heart attack, when your soulmate is diagnosed with breast cancer, when you are diagnosed with terminal cancer, when your child commits suicide?
Quitters here have gone through all of that and remained quit because they had posted their promise and were committed to keeping their word and being quit.
Being quit means no matter what, never again. Are you ready for that this time?
We will be here to help you, but only you can make that decision. So whats it going to be?

Hey Naughty Wolves. This here retread quitter ( @Dagribble (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1784) ) has accomplished 6 days of quit on his own...which would put him in your group. He (?) is contemplating making a daily promise. If you feel so inclined, shoot him a line here in Intros. Thanks for the time folks.

@Dagribble (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1784)
Welcome... make the choice to post up today.
But answer these questions 3 so we can trust you and know you're serious!
1. What happened?
2. Why did it happen?
3. What are you going to do different so that it doesn't happen again?
Hit my pms if you need to talk. Grab and give some digits.

Dave, whats the story? I see you were here on the site around 7:30 this morning, but no new post? No promise in a quit group? Just checking things out and still trying to figure out if KTC is for you? Only one way to find out, get into July 2021 and post your promise not to use today. Wandering around in here without posting does not make quitting easier, making that promise does though. So again, Whats it going to be?
-
Guess we can see how this is going to turn out. Are you Quit or are you done?
We have no way of knowing because your name is not on roll.
Ball's in your court, what's it going to be?

Wait another 2 years and maybe he will be serious then.

Didn't even bother to come and see why he was tagged. See you later princess when life makes it easier to quit.

I tried (2) years ago to quit, fell of the wagon. Just turned 47 last week and going to do this!
"going to do this" is future. I've done it. Just do it. Take "going" out of the equation. Very fucking simple. (Very fucking hard!) Just do it for today. Anyone can quit for a day. Just today. Just this minute. Just right now. I can do this. You can do this.

You got kids man? If so, look your youngest in the eye and imagine them reaching early adulthood without you around, then think about who they might go to for advice in this messed up world in your absence. That’s enough for me to post up each day and suck it up through these first few weeks of misery. I want to be around for him.
You gotta want it, and very much so, or you will never do it. Find your reason to really want it. It isn’t easy, but it does get a little bit easier each day.

Lot of truth here. To add my $0.02, you have to quit for yourself first and foremost. Heaven forbid your kids or family are lost in a car accident or something. If you attach your quit to them, then what motivation will there be to quit in a case of the unthinkable? Scenarios like this may seem like a long shot but I've seen people on here deal with horrible things in their lives. What keeps them coming back day after day is their desire to quit for themselves and better their own life.
I have kids of my own and thankfully neither of them have known their dad with a wad of cat shit in his lip. And while they are certainly a motivating factor, I quit for me.
Happy Friday quitters!
