17 days into the quit now, the longest I have gone without dip since basic training. I started in 2006, with the stupid decision: "I'll try it just to see what it is like." The moment of stupidity had been leaking money from my wallet, time from my family, and possibly years off my life. I went 2 months without chew in basic training, then the day I got out put a dip right back in. I have tried multiple time to quit but didn't have the balls to make it a week. Now 17 days into my quit, I finally feel I can quit this time. I have support from my family, friends, but KILLTHECAN has really made the difference.
KILLTHECAN gives me what I never had before, the knowledge of others going through and have been through what I am experiencing. In church last weekend the pastor spoke about change, to seek out those who aren't where I am now, but are where I want to be. Speaking with those who are deep in the quit not only know what I'm going through, but give me hope that it can be done.
17 days. One day at a time.

17 days is a badass quit. Keep the vigilance and post roll, these are the days where we can get complacent! Great group of folks here who I would have been in deep trouble without.

I like saying "congrats" to newcomers, you've made a great and life-changing decision. Just wake up each day and chose that again. Get to know the folks in your group, invest in them, it will rock your world and your quit.

Isaac,
Good work so far man. I'm glad you have been reading and learning from our experiences. Thanks for throwing yours into the mix.
I'd highly encourage you to start posting roll. Best part of KTC, in my opinion, is that 24-hour accountability. Right now, nobody will stop you if you never post again. By posting roll and being a part of your quit group, you suddenly have 45 people who are quitting with you every damn day. And if you take it a step further and exchange numbers, you have people who will reach out to you when you don't get on roll or start to fade. It's easy to get quit, much harder to stay quit.
You'll be in the April group (means you will hit your 100 day mark sometime in April): topic/10847546/371/#new (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/10847546/371/#new)
Here are instructions for posting roll. Most people screw it up the first few times, but the important part is that you're getting your name on there.

What this BAQ ^^^ said! Great job on being quit for 17 days and showing yourself that you can be quit! Now you need to build your accountability up. Post roll every day, and get to know your quit-group brothers and sisters. Exchange #s and have each others backs. Keep reading everything on KTC and start helping newbies in their first days. You will be adding armor to your quit when you realize people are looking up to you. PM me if you have any questions or want a #. It gets so much better...

Thank you all for the words of encouragement, I am now to day 38 and feel great. This site has helped very much.

Curious why you aren't actively posting roll? There may be someone out there that can use your help, yet you take what you need, and can't take 10 seconds out of your day to post roll? Seems selfish to me.
