Hi. I'm GW from North Central Texas. 48 years old. Started dipping in Elementary School. My first job as a kid was as a self-employed coke bottle recycler. Would gather and exchange bottles for Happy Days snuff at the corner convenience store. So. It's been a long time. Stopped dipping once about 20 years ago for a couple weeks.
I am a career fire fighter. And as such, I see lots of dead folks. Even dead folks that just aren't dead yet. But soon will be. Congestive heart failure. Coronary heart decease. Cancer. High blood pressure. My parents died from smoking. Cancer - Dad. Heart disease - Mom.
My wife is a teacher and we will retire about the same time. We have been making retirement plans. But. I'm still healthy but my otherwise great blood pressure has slowly been going up. So I know that heart disease wants to come live with me until I die. But. That can be changed and reversed now. With no meds. So. I want to live a healthy remainder of my life. And do all that my wife and I have planned.
Now is the time for my quit.

Glad to have you here Mr. President.
It's time to quit, you know it and I know it. This site will help. These people will help. The only way to quit is to quit. You can do it.
So, are you quit right now, or are you sucking on a cat turd as you read this?
Go to the Welcome Center (top left) and read everything you can. Figure out what we do and why we do it. Then buckle your seatbelt and get to quitting. Your November 13 quit group will be thrilled to have you. Get to know them. A support group only works if you get connected and allow people to support you.
I'm pumped up for you to be quit and to enjoy the clean life.

I've located a local store with mint Smokey Mountain and reading the KTC site. Have been here before but didn't get going. Was a lurker. Trying to get all the ins and outs of the site figured out. So if I'm correct, a Quit group starts Sunday 8/25 for December ??? Is that right ?

That is correct brother, but if i was you i wouldn't suckle with the poison for one more day. How much longer do you want to be a slave. I would trash your stash right now. We don't worry about tomorrow around here,,,, we quit!!
Do it brother. Post roll with November,, they would love to have you in their group. There is a bunch of great quitters in that group.
You know you want to bro. I wish i lived closer,, i would come over and trash the stash for you. I hate the poison. It stole so much from me. Not any more my friend. For 187 days I've been free and am loving my new life. Join me today brother. Post roll and I'll be glad to quit with you. Reach deep, there is a quitter in you. You want your freedom,,, take it. The poison is not going to just give it back.
Your move brother.

Hey fellow Texican. The time to trash the can and its poison is now. You know it too! Let's get your quit party started. I dipped for 28 years after smoking for 17, so I have a little experience in using. Since I have been quit for 278 days, I also have a little experience in quitting. I live 30 miles SW of Waco, so lets become friends...what do you say? I am sending you my telephone number by PM, that is the Inbox(1) you will see on the top right of your screen. Open it up, call me and lets get your journey started. You will not regret this one bit, I promise you that. Wayne

I am with SRANS GD, now is the time, sieze the moment. The next dip you pack could be the one the causes your cells to mutate and become cancerous. You have played Russian roulette with your life long enough.
I will quit with you. It is a battle but it can be done. Get over to November and get this thing rolling. Tomorrow may be too late.
-
Welcome to the November group GW should you decide to come over. There's lots of great guys support available from the site. Lots of us who are just in the first days of the struggle. It's entirely doable though! At least with the grace of God, and Smokey Mountain I've gotten through 2 days so far. All the best to ya.

Did you figure out the logic behind the quit group dates? Each group is comprised of folks who will hit the 100-days-quit (HOF) during a particular month. If you QUIT TODAY, you'll be in the November HOF Group (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=8568). They'd be glad to have you, and you'll be getting ahead of the game. Don't put it off, the statistics aren't in your favor if you do that. As a firefighter, you're accustom to facing things head-on in a direct, urgent way. Do the same thing here. Dump out all your stuff right now and start posting roll. Besides...... :syndrome: could be your day 2.
Quitting is tough for firefighters, because nicotine addiction is rampant in the fire service everywhere I've been. But, it can be done. I can give you a bunch of examples.
Shout out via PM if I can help any way, or if you need another contact.

First roll call will be Sunday. New group. Page 1. Although will get day 1 in at the firehall. Not at home. I can tell the guys to F Off and they will just laugh. So. See ya Sunday.

Not a smart play putting off your start date. You'd would be surprised at the number of people that say that and we never see them again. Good luck.

Sunday, there will be half a can left, and maybe it is better to just finish it and start a fresh quit on a Monday. Well, Monday may not be good.........
Maybe you will quit on Sunday. But if you quit now, you are already quit. No maybe's, no mindgames with yourself, just quit.

Sorry teacher the dog ate my homework but I can turn it in to you tomorrow.
Well boss frankly Mondays suck and I am just not going to work on Mondays.
Yes commander, I understand that they are attacking but I am tired right now plus I got a honey in the sack.
Go back to bed that sound was only a robber stealing all the shit out of your living room.
Now, Today, Tonight, This Instant are all good times to quit; there will be a new reason that tomorrow can become another tomorrow, keep singing your song Annie!

^^^^ The absolute truth. Time and time again.
Had you dumped the nic out this morning when you read this, and the 72-hour cleansing theory holds true, you could have walked into the station with no nicotine in your system Sunday morning. That would have been a hell of a thing to tell the crew: "I'm 3 days clean. Don't start any shit today, because I'm never going back.".
I can't find it at the moment, but there is some research that explains why planned quits often fail. The anticipation of quitting causes anxiety, which causes increased nic intake in the hours leading up to the planned quit time. That sends the addict into the fight with a higher-than-usual dose in their system, which makes it even harder to successfully quit.
I hope you prove that wrong and stick with it.
Well, actually, I hope you change your mind and quit right now. Lots of folks here want you to succeed.

Some great quitters have hit your intro and I really don't have much to add at this point,,,,,,,,, wait, maybe i can add little somtin somtin.
I quit on a Friday originally. I wonder what day is actually the best day to quit? Is it Monday,, the beginning of the week. Wait,, maybe it's Wednesday, the middle of the week, wait, maybe your right and it's Sunday?
I use to actually think this way. I thought there has to be a perfect time to quit. Maybe there is a time when the withdrawals won't be so bad. Maybe there is a time when things will be so much easier. You see I loved the poison more than anything, including my wife, kids, mom and pops. You my friend have the same problem. You are bound and gagged by an enemy that only cares about one thing. It takes until there is nothing left.
Bottom line,,, TODAY IS THE BEST DAY TO QUIT!! It don't matter what day of the week. It don't matter If it's the beginning of the work week or the end.
What matters is that you are tired of the poison ruling your life. Your tired of some filthy dirty weed being more important to you than yourself, wife, kids and family. Brother,,, man up and let do this! Today is the best day,, we are here to support you. You got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Slavery or Freedom today,,, that's your choices.
-
There is no better day to quit than another, just pick one stick with it, you'll know when you're ready to follow through. But telling everybody at work I discovered today can actually be a huge relief.
I'd been living through the first days this week felt about 1/2 as effective as normal at work so got talking with my boss. He hardly noticed I dipped in the first place wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with work performance now that I don't.
So go forward with the confidence that you'll still be you in a post can life. Saying this even as I'm trying to convince myself of it...
-
Quit right now. The absolute best time to quit is always right now. You want to keep playing Russian roulette with the poison? Maybe these next few dips are the ones that start cells changing...

Nice day 1 post bro.
Strap in and get this done! Today you are QUIT! See you tomorrow... We'll do it again.

Day 4? Sounds like we have a serious quitter here srans. 4 days is awesome Gdubya. Keep puttin in that work.

Still hitting roll everyday. Excellent!!

GDubya, congratulations on posting Day 8 today. The fog should be lifting soon and the outlook starting to show signs of life. Your last PM said your wife is not talking to you, which indicates to me that she might be taking a little more crap from you than necessary. Remember, your family does not need to see or hear you rage, vent anger or whatever you want to call it. That is what we are for. You have my number and I have yours. Call me when things are not exactly peachy....together, we will get through this and the Mrs. will still be a happy camper. Remember the old Texas addage that says "If Momma ain't happy, nobody happy." Still holds true my friend. Wayne
-
Just thought I would give you a shout out. 19 days and counting. Proud of you. It is apparent what you came here for. TO QUIT!!!! Your in it to win it. Great job!!!
-
Well good grief. I have definitely missed out on some awesome support by not revisiting my intro page. Thank y'all. It really is the brotherhood that has made the difference. On my own I'm sure Ida just said screw it. That's what I've done for so many years. Actually had given up hope of being able to quit. But when my buddy share she was 5 years quit and how he did it, I came and looked over the site. And it gave me hope. Some other events this summer and reflecting back on my friends success. I knew it was time.
Today. My chest swells with a great pride. I am doing it. I'm taking my life back. I am doing it because WE are doing it. MY success is Your success, and YOUR success is MY success. Thank you.

THere is a quitter talking. Yes, get back on your intro. The feedback can really help one know if they are staying on track or falling into some addict thought
Congrats.. quit with you

Day 22. I need dope. Lots of it. I don't care who made it or where it comes from. I don't care if I have to smoke it, sniff it, drink it, pop it, or stick it under my arm pits, I don't care. Some body please show be some love and just come whack me in the freaking head with a hammer. I'm gonna get a bottle of water and some zip ties and head out to the pasture. And zip tie my self to a tree of something. How come we burned all the damn boats ?!?!

You have to laugh, G. Isn't it amazing what we did to our bodies all these years? A shredded plant in a cheap ass can - controlled us... Changed us... Poisoned us. And we invited it in every day to take another punch.
No more! Your whole body is rewiring. You are having to relearn some things. We've all been there. Remember this feeling. Because you want some anger in the near future to push you ahead. And you never, ever will have to relive this bullshit. Today is in the books - your name is posted in roll so you don't have to worry about today - just push thru it.
Be careful what part of town you pick for this zip tie session. You might get more than you bargained for!

Strange how it can just sneak up on you. Something kinda ticked me off this morning and then it just sorta snowballed. A half dozen tacos, lots of mm's, and candy corn do seem to have some therapeutic qualities. And yes, just so you know,if I ever get to meet Philip Morris or the Marlboro Man, I'm gonna stick my foot so far up their ass, my leg is gonna look like a stick on a lollipop.

Myself and the world expects one thing from you today g. We expect you to keep your word. You posted today so it's a done deal. Caving is not an option.
What you NEED to do is whatever it takes to keep the poison out. There is a door you NEED to get to. This door is hard to get to and open but you will like what's on the other side. Glad to be Quit with you.

22 days is some good quitting bro! Way to reach out when you were struggling earlier today. That is what you need to do. Do whatever it takes to stay quit today. If u need to use the zip ties... Use them. You got this! Quit on!
-
Well. This day is another notch in my belt. A day finished as promised. Started out like the day before. The usual undertone of stress and craving something that will never be again. Just the usual light stuff that I've been dealing with. Then a little tension that just snow balled to the point of anger and real pain. Just a complete blind side. So humbling. I knew I've been doing well and that I should be on guard. And I have been. But wow. Just out if the blue sort of. But. Come hell or high water, nic is not an option. I with complete sincerity, will if I find my self driving with an intent to purchase nicotine, pull immediately over and zip tie my ass off to a tree, a fence post, anything. I'm not going back. I QLF !!!! EFD !!!!
Now. Tylenol PM and a Blue Moon ought to take me to roll call #23.
Gdubya

Well. I can tell you this...
First don't worry about craving something that "will never be again". That tells me you aren't thinking about TODAY, you are thinking about forever. The concept of "forever" is a tough one to grasp, not just for quittin nicotine, but for anything. We are only immortal for a limited time, my man. Stay in the here and now. I know it sounds easier than it is, because I too struggled with the very same thing, but it's funny how different your outlook is day to day.
I had many dark days in my early quit. Couldn't grasp the concept of one day at a time, did not think things would get better, and was just kind of "floating", unable to see the forest through the trees.
However I had something you seem to have as well.
Resolve.
I knew I was and still am doing right. I believe you do too.
The good lord gave me a moral compass to steer by when I came into this world. I let nicotine fuck it up and take me off course. Not that I was some slovenly degenerate, but I was letting addiction run my life. I was on a path not only to short change my own life, but my loved ones as well. My wife, my kids, my parents, friends, and family...they were all going to suffer because of my addiction.
I've had loved ones take early thanks to the perils of nicotine, and from reading your intro thread, so have you.
It sucks and it's selfish behavior that caused it. Tell me every time you filled your lip you didn't have some thought of "I know this shit can kill me but...fuck it". I know I did.
Time to take that compass back and return to the proper path. Will it be easy to get back on track? Fuck no. Will it get easier? Fuck yes. Will it always be worth it? You bet your fucking ass.
I'm 470 days quit, cold fucking turkey, jack. Hardest thing I've ever done in my life, yet also the most rewarding. Whenever anybody asks how I did it, I tell them, "the same way I'm still doing it...one day at a time".
Don't try to eat this quit in one big bite, it's too big, you might choke. Grab some KTC silverware and cut it up into bite sized pieces. That's how you take this shit down. You need help cutting your meat, you got a ton of people here willing to help you
Quit on....

Come hell or high water, nic is not an option.
This ^^^^^ is what I look for in every quitter. When I began thinking like this I was truly winning. This thinking will keep you quit, get you to the next door and open it. I remember thinking,, I don't care how bad things get,, I'm not giving in. The poison has seen it's last days. Screw you poison. Reed my signature line. Never mind,, I'll just say it.
I hate the poison, I hated it when I woke up and I hate it right now. When noon arrives I'll still hate it and dinner the same. Before I go to bed tonight I will continue hating the poison and even say a prayer mentioning the hate I have for it. I enjoy hating it so much I will wake up tomorrow and start over hating it.
As diesel (as always good post from diesel) pointed out. One day at a time,, that's how this quit works brother. Your just as quit as me right now,, the big difference. My struggle is easier because of time and the battles I've won. Each battle you win will make the next one easier. Each day you add to your quit is more time spent without it. The poison probes,, it looks for the perfect time to strike. Stay the course and keep your head pointed forward. Nothing back there for you!! Glad to be quit with you.

I hate the poison, I hated it when I woke up and I hate it right now. When noon arrives I'll still hate it and dinner the same. Before I go to bed tonight I will continue hating the poison and even say a prayer mentioning the hate I have for it. I enjoy hating it so much I will wake up tomorrow and start over hating it.
As diesel (as always good post from diesel) pointed out. One day at a time,, that's how this quit works brother. Your just as quit as me right now,, the big difference. My struggle is easier because of time and the battles I've won. Each battle you win will make the next one easier. Each day you add to your quit is more time spent without it. The poison probes,, it looks for the perfect time to strike. Stay the course and keep your head pointed forward. Nothing back there for you!! Glad to be quit with you.
You are damn right nic it is not an option. You won yesterday and for the past 3 weeks. You posted roll today and committed to this day... attack this day just like yesterday. NAFAR ODAAT! QLF with you today!

Congratulations on your first month of freedom. The road here will likely get a little easier - but stay vigilant! You've come a long way in a month - but there is so much more peace ahead. Enjoy the ride brother. Proud to be on your team today.

I also congratulate you. It is apparent you came here to quit. Well,, don't look now, your doing it one day at a time. 1 month is proof you can make it 2 months one day at a time. Your going to have a few more speed bumps,, nothing you can't handle though. Reach out if you need to brother.

Congrats on one month for sure!

Last post was Day 23 ? Really ? Wow. That seems like yesterday. And today I'm half way to my HOF + 1 !!!!! Simply amazing. Thank you to the vets that came along beside me and gave me support and encouragement. I'm learning so much here. Seeing strength in my self I never knew I had. It brings about such a feeling of pride. To actually be overcoming day by day a terrible addiction that I thought I'd live with the rest of my life. Y'all know what I mean. AJ said recently exactly what I've come to learn. That I'm learning who I am without nicotine. I've dealt with every issue of life with nicotine in my mouth. It's been a crutch all this time and now I have to learn how to go through life nicotine sober.
The nicotine crutch has been replaced. Replaced with new relationships and friendships. My fellow December Soldiers of quit. We have been going through this together under the watchful eyes of our experienced veteran leaders. But I confess, my hands are ghostly white. White from clinging so tightly to KTC safety line. Reading about folks with many many days free of nicotine caving. And seeing others that caved, coming back to join new quit groups because they caved. It's scary. I wish them all great success in their returns. But it really scares me. I've drank the cool aide here. I love it's flavor. And I wish to never have a day without carrying that cup with me all day. And that means - post roll every day, stay connected with my quit brothers, stay involved on KTC by being a supporter of new quitters.
Again. I just want to say thank you to KTC, all the veteran supporters, and to all my December brothers. Y'all are the reason I stand here today as a Quitter. Proud to be quit with all of you.

GW,
You are doing great so far. Prepare for the 70s because they suck for some reason. I will be right here if you need a hand brother. Just stay the course and keep your mind right, you know the tools and how to use them.

Thank you Pinched. And I'll watch out for the 70's. I've definitely experienced the funk recently. Surprised and thankful the wife didn't go buy me snuff and cram it up my, sorry, shove it in my mouth. :-). I realized I'm having to learn to deal with life chemical free, made some attitude adjusting, and back on track. But I'm staying on guard. Thanks again bro.

Great job gw. I had to go back to see which brother this was. lol. Half way to 100 is great. You have a couple more speed bumps to travel over, but nothing you can't handle. It is clear what your intentions were when you joined ktc. Proud of you. Keep them tools sharp and use them if necessary. Glad to be quit with you.

Lol. Well thankfully I didn't have to. But I had the zip ties just in case. The funk that we go through is just unexplainable. And I guess you can't understand until you go through it. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Perhaps I am a sadistic SOB, but I am glad that the Suck and the fog were as bad as they in fact were. I have that shit locked in my memory and I never ever want to go through that shit again.

You're doing great, Gdub! Proud to be quit with you. You have certainly been someone that I leaned on during trying times. I appreciate the levelheadedness you bring to the quit table.

Day 84 and life is awesome. Actually it's very strange. I'm now living more like God designed me to live. Free of a drug that can be both a depressant and a stimulant. I'm experiencing the real me and its taking some adjustments. Example. Next summer will be 25 years of marriage. In all those years one of my wife's biggest wishes has been that I'd be ready to go to sleep when she's ready. She goes to sleep around 9 and I go around 11 or so or later. Then she would wake up long before me and she usually wakes me up after I've hit the snooze on the alarm repeatedly. But now........Wow........at 9:00 I absolutely HAVE to go to bed. And when my head hits the pillow, I'm asleep. Mornings? I wake up long before my alarm and the last few mornings have seen the beauty of the morning sun rising. Such an awesome extra benefit of clean living.
Each day that goes by just continues to amaze me. I had completely given up hope of ever being able to change and break free of this addiction. It's not easy but just knowing that for 84 days I have given my promise and have kept it, gives me the confidence to know that tonight when I lay my head down, I will soon wake up and be +1 again. Thank you KTC and all those that quit with me. Y'all are the ones that make it possible.

The real you will continue to rise to the surface.Over the next year or so you will realize alot of things about yourself you kept hidden and suppressed for alll these years.

Day 84 and life is awesome. Actually it's very strange. I'm now living more like God designed me to live. Free of a drug that can be both a depressant and a stimulant. I'm experiencing the real me and its taking some adjustments. Example. Next summer will be 25 years of marriage. In all those years one of my wife's biggest wishes has been that I'd be ready to go to sleep when she's ready. She goes to sleep around 9 and I go around 11 or so or later. Then she would wake up long before me and she usually wakes me up after I've hit the snooze on the alarm repeatedly. But now........Wow........at 9:00 I absolutely HAVE to go to bed. And when my head hits the pillow, I'm asleep. Mornings? I wake up long before my alarm and the last few mornings have seen the beauty of the morning sun rising. Such an awesome extra benefit of clean living.
Each day that goes by just continues to amaze me. I had completely given up hope of ever being able to change and break free of this addiction. It's not easy but just knowing that for 84 days I have given my promise and have kept it, gives me the confidence to know that tonight when I lay my head down, I will soon wake up and be +1 again. Thank you KTC and all those that quit with me. Y'all are the ones that make it possible.
GDubya,
Its things like what you just said that build the resolve for me. Im 42 days and get tired of the constant vigilance now and then. But i want those pre alarm clock sunrises too. Thanks for the inspiration, this one made my night.

Glad you posted today, GDubya. I'm on Day 15. Your message is inspiring. I'm with Grizz. Glad to be quitting with both of you.

Hi. I'm GW from North Central Texas. 48 years old. Started dipping in Elementary School. My first job as a kid was as a self-employed coke bottle recycler. Would gather and exchange bottles for Happy Days snuff at the corner convenience store. So. It's been a long time. Stopped dipping once about 20 years ago for a couple weeks.
I am a career fire fighter. And as such, I see lots of dead folks. Even dead folks that just aren't dead yet. But soon will be. Congestive heart failure. Coronary heart decease. Cancer. High blood pressure. My parents died from smoking. Cancer - Dad. Heart disease - Mom.
My wife is a teacher and we will retire about the same time. We have been making retirement plans. But. I'm still healthy but my otherwise great blood pressure has slowly been going up. So I know that heart disease wants to come live with me until I die. But. That can be changed and reversed now. With no meds. So. I want to live a healthy remainder of my life. And do all that my wife and I have planned.
Now is the time for my quit.
GW
GW, I saw tonight that you are nearing your HOF and I wanted to remind you of your addict brain when you were contemplating quitting. You turned out o quit and be one of the first in December 2013 group. More than that you continue to use the tools, help others and quit like a beast. Keep adding those plus ones, remember that the HOF day is not a finish line but rather a chance to refuel and celebrate your quit journey at a small yet significant milestone.

Thank y'all for the kind words and words of wisdom. At 90 days I owe it all to the KTC Koolaide. Quit for today. Go to sleep. Wake up. Be +1. Do it all over again. It works.
-
Congratulations on 100 days of freedom! This represents a huge milestone, but also just the beginning. Have a great time on that Guadalupe state park hike! You have a lot to be proud of today, and I look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you.
-
Excellent work GW! Congrats on 100 days of victory! Keep at it brother!
-
Congrats in 100 brother; I look forward to seeing you at other milestones as well.
-
Proud of you bro. Excellent. Some people come to play quit. Some people come to act quit.
Not you my friend,, You came to just plain QUIT! Quit with you anyday my friend. See you at 101.
-
Well done GW. Enjoy it for a bit, but keep doing what has gotten you here.
-
Well done Dubs.
-
Atta Boy!!!
-
Well done.

Nice victory over vice!!!! Keep crushing the skull of nicotine every morning.
Trophy looks nice in your case. Time to get that trophy some company.

My HOF Speech
This has simply been a strange journey. And without my intentions, this has become a journey of discovery. I've been feeling bad because I really didn't have anything to say. I didn't know what to say. Simply nothing. I really do realize I am simply a dumb ass jackass that's been hitched to the cart of addiction for 35 years. So, being goal oriented I set a goal of hiking Guadalupe Peak on my HOF date of December 2nd. My wife and I started training for that strenuous hike and we did complete it. It really was a powerful time for her and I. I wanted to share that day with her because she has put up with this habit for 24+ years of marriage plus several years of dating. I told her before we got married that I'd quit. Never did. Always wanted to. But just kept saying I would. Never did.
I am goal oriented and I used that goal of hiking Guadalupe Peak as a carrot in front of this dumb ass jackass to keep me moving down the road of quit in the right direction. And it worked. I knew that HOF is just one step. And I believe it was Srans that said that HOF is the first brick in the construction of the wall of quit. So here I am. I have a great foundation of relationships and there is a brick sitting there on the edge of the slab. And I just have nothing to say. But that's okay. I'm here for One Day at a Time. That's how I got here and that how I'll spend each day. So yesterday I'm shooting out texts to my buds and WtW texts back something another about someone caving. I don't know them and I don't really know how to respond, so I don't for the time being. We had just lost one of our own so I understand the the loss. But, we are not as far down the road and it just created this stir in me. So I begin reading, like many times before. And I find myself reading T-Cells newly penned HOF speech that he waited till day 666 to write. I thought it was my own speech. 35 year addiction. Didn't think 100 days was a big enough landmark to start patting myself on the back, etc, etc. I almost went to bed after reading that HOF speech. I am so glad I didn't.
I find myself in the Introductions area and I see an Intro that was created awhile back. But it has been busy lately. I open it and see many familiar names and it becomes apparent that a cave has occurred. So I go to the last page to read forward. I don't know this person but I am soon crushed by what I read. See, I know that I am an addict. But I just simply can't fail. I cannot allow myself to be complacent and fail. I was born in the sixties. Back when mothers nursed their babies with a Marlboro in their mouths. I couldn't spend the night with friends unless their parents smoked because of the nicotine withdrawals. And that was in preschool. Then I started dipping in elementary school. So see. This is my run up the hill. I just can't fail. I am giving it everything that I have. If this isn't good enough, then I have nothing left to give to a quit. So I thought. Until I read this Introduction full of success and happiness and turned into failure and sadness.
Still, I would not be writing this today had it not been for the words of Dougie that were directed at the caved quitter. Dougie said "...Now you have to understand it (quitting) on an emotional level and embrace it. That's why I focused so much on reading long time quitters threads. They get it on an intellectual level and an emotional level." I thought, " Dougie, bless your little heart, do you need some tissue paper there buddy. Suck it up and leave your femine side alone." And then some words came back to my memory. Words from either WtW or Srans, probably both, that said I would continue to discover things about my self the longer I'm quit. I kept meditating on those statements and the pain that I'm witnessing on this thread, and then it hit me. Dougie, if I ever meet you in person, the first thing I'm gonna do is kick you right in the nuts. Why? Because you touched me. Not in the privates where your not supposed to, but deeper than that. Where a hand can't touch. But you touched me. I get it now. And now I get things that I didn't want to get. But too late. It's done.
This is the deal. This is what your words Dougie, mixed with Worktowin and Srans, has caused me to look at and see. I didn't complete the plans in my minds eye for the Guadalupe trip. I had planned on going, having a great time, taking a lot of great pictures, sharing the pics with quit buddies ( that I did), and posting a picture from the top on Facebook for my friends to see. But. I couldn't. I didn't. I just couldn't post that picture. I couldn't figure out why. Actually I did know why but I wouldn't allow myself to consider why. But I had to face this when I read all those pages about the guy that failed and hurt so many that I have become friends with here. Then when Dougie touched me in my private place, I knew. I wouldn't post that picture because I was still afraid I would fail. And everyone would know it. You see, I promised my daughters years ago that I would quit. But I failed. It hurt me really bad. And basically, I stopped making people promises anymore. It's really been a subconscious thing. But that's what I've been doing for years now. I'll definitely put action to something but the words, nope I wouldn't make a promise. But unknowingly, I started this deal here saying I won't use today. It was a small bite, just for today. It worked. I woke up and did it again and was +1 day. Then 2. Then 3. And here I am. Day 109. Ive gotten here seemingly suddenly. I take a look around and see how high I am and it scares the crap out of me. I like Docs simple words that are taking me through today and will always be with me, " if you ain't buying it or taking it from someone, you ain't dipping it!!!" True words right there.
Actually I didn't understand how this site worked when I got started. I had given up on believing I would ever be quit. I simply stopped struggling and wrestling with knowing I should quit. I gave up. Then a FF friend of mine (Musicluva) posted on Facebook he was 5 years quit. I thought damn, that's significant. That's quit right there. He said nothing had ever worked until he found KTC. I registered but it took a while for me to decide yep, I'm quitting. I introduced myself and immediately there was AJ. He introduced himself and immediately was on my ass to get posting. I'm a little OCD and wanted to wait till the next group started. And he was on my ass. Lol. Day 1 and I posted. I have so many to thank that it's hard. AJ, Worktowin, Srans, Sportsfan. They have been there all the way. Doc and Jaydubya I talk with almost daily. Gosioux, Shyronnie, Roncross, Txredfish, Coquitter, Forrest, Billygoat, Mattyf, Tony, Mjschwartz, Enslavedbyskoal, RickKendall. Have all been there along the way.
After reading about this horrible cave. Seeing all the destruction that was caused. Being scared that I could be that caver and cause so much harm, having Dougie touch me in my private place and point out this great fear, I realized something. I NEED AN ANCHOR !!!!! Im running up this hill and giving it everything I've got, I can not afford to fail, I can't take failing, and I realize that if I slip I need an anchor to stop me. And I've realized, I understand on an intellectual level and an emotional level, that I already have an anchor. My anchor is you. You is everyone I've already mentioned. It's everyone that reads this in the future. Its everyone that has posted support for December 2013. We are all linked together. I cannot bare the pain of letting any of you down. I cannot bare the pain of letting my family down. I also cling to the words of LionHeartedGirl, " there's no reason to fear. Just post roll."
Gdubya - 109 - I Quit !!!!

Thanks for sharing, GDubya. You're a good guy. Thanks for all you do. You've been a stable and consistent quit brother and a good friend. I'm sure there are quite a few who share the same sentiment.

Great speech!!
I went back to your first post and read your introduction. We have a lot in common. I am so happy that you have made it 109 days. What an inspiration!
Thanks for the text today.

Gdubya - 109 - I Quit !!!!
Damn, for someone who had nothing to say yesterday, you sure said it all and said it well. It has been a pleasure chatting on the text train all these days. BUT one thing is for certain. I know you have this quit! You are done with the worm dirt. I will see you on the flip side of 200 for sure and beyond... I also hope to be there when you climb Guadalupe again..... Have a big Christmas bro!!!!

Thank y'all for all the kind words. Once again, I'm touched. :-)

Congrats brother and thank you for staying in touch with me. I know this is a little late but I really wanted to congratulate you on your 100 days. It's a tough journey and we all know just how tough it can be. Some make it and others don't, but you tore it up and QUIT LIKE FUCK!!! Congrats bro 'oh yeah'

145 days. More than some, less than others. But what's important is that it's a record for me. Yesterday for some reason it dawned on me that hey, it's been a hundred and forty four days since any nicotine has coursed my veins. Laugh but it's true. If I spent the night at someone else's house when I was a kid, I'd get nicotine withdrawals. When I was growing up, parents repainted the insides of their homes every few years to cover up the nicotine stains on the walls. So hey,it just hit me all of the sudden like I was at the crest of a pole vaulting pole or something. NEVER been in this place. I was looking behind me at how far I've come and how high I'd climbed. Hey. I'm not afraid of heights. But I am afraid of falling. And then the KTC peace showed up when I remembered that its eyes forward and ODAAT. BooYaah !!!

BooYeah! Congratulations Gdubya! You have figured out a great formula for success - build a network of both veterans and new quitters and keep in close contact with both groups. Then post your daily roll in multiple places. This almost provides a "fear factor" element to the accountability - where even the idea of letting those people on your team down is both so sickening and terrifying that it helps build anger against nicotine. Anger comes with time, but you've built the formula. Accountability + brotherhood = success.
Your story and journey is a great case study for new quitters to learn from. One day at a time!
Well done!

Day 22. I need dope. Lots of it. I don't care who made it or where it comes from. I don't care if I have to smoke it, sniff it, drink it, pop it, or stick it under my arm pits, I don't care. Some body please show be some love and just come whack me in the freaking head with a hammer. I'm gonna get a bottle of water and some zip ties and head out to the pasture. And zip tie my self to a tree of something. How come we burned all the damn boats ?!?!
Remember this? Never again.
Congratulations on 300. You are really gonna like the next part of the journey. But it is always good to look back and remember the bullshit part of where you've been. Thanks for being a leader and keeping a lot of is accountable.

Hello fellow addicts and quitters. This is Day 1 of my quit. I am a biologist living in West Texas. I had been quit for 7 years. Over a year ago I put a dip in. Just one. Just for old times sake. Just because the outside environment and work called for a simple single dip, and that would be it. Now, daily for over a year. All. Over. Again.
Before the 7 yrs of my successful quit, I had been dipping for well over a decade. High School, peers, and baseball. That kid grew into a man, and was still dipping. Full-blown addict.
My first quit was terribly hard. Physically and mentally; as I had basically grown up, had developed into an adult with nicotine and dipping hardwired into my brain and body.
I now need to do it all over again. I now will do it all over again. A bit pissed at myself for having to start over. I am also understanding.
I will find out if this quit differs from my first quit.
Anyways, another and now defunct (I believe) website and forum helped me way back then. It is my hope that the same type forum and community will be just as helpful.
I choose not to be a slave.
Thank you for having me, brothers and sisters.
Let us all live free.
So, here. I. go....

Nice intro, Mayo. You probably should start your own though and track your quit there, as opposed to adding it on to G-Dubs.
I believe you just go to intros and hit the "new topic" button.
Quit on...

I'm wide awake. 3:31 am. Alone in the living room. Tears in my eyes. Postn roll. And not believing where I am today. I dipped for 35 freakn years !!! I gave up on beating this addiction. The shame and embarrassment, I had just given in to it. The loss of dignity and pride ?!?! Finally figured I'd be like my Dad and be a nic addict until they put my coffin clothes on me. Thank you Stacy Clark, Musicluva, for posting on FB that you were 5 years Quit and sharing KTC with me. If you look at my join date, it's around 2 years before my Quit date. Took this dumb ass that long to post a Day 1. Taking my mother in law home to South Dakota last summer, seeing her toes becoming black from lack of circulation, and her denying that smoking had anything to do with it, pushed me off my own denial cliff and got me to realize the truth. I was dying just like her. And that I wanted desperately to live.
Here I am. Now I stand on my own 2 feet a FREE MAN with so many Quit bother and sister friends that its just simply amazing. It's totally unreal. But it actually is real. Wow. Thank you to each and everyone of you that I've walked with on this journey. Simply too many now at this point to mention. I just simply don't have the words to describe what this day means to me. But as you all well know, I didn't get here on my own, I'm here in this place because of you. And like Doc says, it's a debt I can't repay. :-)

Hi. I'm GW from North Central Texas. 48 years old. Started dipping in Elementary School. My first job as a kid was as a self-employed coke bottle recycler. Would gather and exchange bottles for Happy Days snuff at the corner convenience store. So. It's been a long time. Stopped dipping once about 20 years ago for a couple weeks.
I am a career fire fighter. And as such, I see lots of dead folks. Even dead folks that just aren't dead yet. But soon will be. Congestive heart failure. Coronary heart decease. Cancer. High blood pressure. My parents died from smoking. Cancer - Dad. Heart disease - Mom.
My wife is a teacher and we will retire about the same time. We have been making retirement plans. But. I'm still healthy but my otherwise great blood pressure has slowly been going up. So I know that heart disease wants to come live with me until I die. But. That can be changed and reversed now. With no meds. So. I want to live a healthy remainder of my life. And do all that my wife and I have planned.
Now is the time for my quit.
GW
1,000 days of winning! Of taking your life back! Of taking your health back. And of being a model citizen around here... The very definition of brotherhood accountability.
GW, I hope you feel 10' tall today. You earned this.

This right here. This is the magic of KTC. Its what kept me going everyday. Giving support and receiving it. Making friends and being a friend. Walking with those that came before us, and those that came after. When I was weak I thought of all of you. I cant express enough what each of you and so many others mean to me. Man, I was a slave a loooong time. I remember when I just gave up and accepted that Id be an addict till I died. Each of you have enabled me to find freedom. My hope is that I give back what I have received. I am a blessed Quitter. Its still ODAAT and Ill be back tomorrow for more fun with my friends. Cant wait for that cold beer and big fat steak tonight !!!! BooYaah !!!!

Badass GW! Well done sir! Thanks for sharing your quit knowledge! Welcome to the 10th floor, well deserved, enjoy your view!
To my true quit friend. Congrats bud!
Congrats on the comma G.
grats on the dangle ....I'm still waiting on that signature
Hey G...congrats friend. Thanks for setting the example and ALWAYS being there. Mad love for a solid part of my quit arsenal. Lady G
This right here. This is the magic of KTC. Its what kept me going everyday. Giving support and receiving it. Making friends and being a friend. Walking with those that came before us, and those that came after. When I was weak I thought of all of you. I cant express enough what each of you and so many others mean to me. Man, I was a slave a loooong time. I remember when I just gave up and accepted that Id be an addict till I died. Each of you have enabled me to find freedom. My hope is that I give back what I have received. I am a blessed Quitter. Its still ODAAT and Ill be back tomorrow for more fun with my friends. Cant wait for that cold beer and big fat steak tonight !!!! BooYaah !!!!
Nice comma GDub you fot hard to get here now go enjoy your day
Way to be Gdub. Thank you for all you do here. Model quitter. Thank you for blazing the trail!

Wow. Sure doesn't seem like it's been that long. Seems like just yesterday I posted that Day 1. Thank you to all the admins / mods that work so hard behind the lines to make all this possible. Without them and all the quality folks we Quit with here, none of our successes would have been possible. Here at least. All you folks are pure quality peeps. Thank you.

Like me ? Hey man, its total synergistic. We are better together than we are alone. Take Doc for example. He is always such a great edifier. But the truth is, me and many others owe him a debt of gratitude because of his faithfulness and integrity to his Quit and his quit Brothers and Sisters. And the same goes for each of you posting up in here with support for my Quit. Synergy. KTC Kool Aide. What ever you want to call it, we have drank it and are all walking in freedom together because of it. Very kind words indeed. Not only does it make me thankful but also causes me to desire to continue to pay it forward. Proud to be Quit with yall.
