I don't know if it will be your day 1 or not. But I damn sure know it's my day 589...proof this can be done.
You either quit or you don't. Your call buddy. But I can tell you one thing for sure, I was going to "quit tomorrow" many a many a time. Tomorrow always had a funny way of getting postponed to the next day.
Choose to regain control of your life. Choose to see how good life can be without the can.
Your call.

There ya go! Go to "welcome center" its a little pink tab in the upper left corner, it will explain how things work here. You will be in the February quit group, post roll in there and then don't use nicotine. It is that simple.

"Will this be..."
Jump in, drink the koolaid, and you will soon realize how silly this title is. There are no tries or attempts here. There are no questions regarding our ability to quit. We just quit. Period. If I can do it, you can do it. You will see that posted a lot here. It is true. We were all the same as it relates to this addiction. I post up 98 in the morning. If I can do it, you can definitely do it.
Welcome and congrats on your decision to take your life back!!!!!
-
I posted role for my first time at night too. So what if its not a whole 24 hours, no one gives a fuck.
Just quit.
Read everything you possibly can from this site, and the quit will consume you.

Hey Slomo - Welcome to this messed up club! Listen to me, my friend: you ONLY have to make it until bedtime tonight. We quit one day at a time here, which means you just have to make it through today. Tomorrow, wake up and decide all over again if you want to quit. You can do ANYTHING for 24 hours. I know you can.
But first, let's see a roll post! Head over to February (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5397) and hit "quote" or just "reply". Get your promise NOT TO USE TODAY posted in front of all your brothers and sisters. Get phone numbers. Use them.
What to expect: the first three days suck. That's why we call it "the suck". It blows. That's where nicotine is physically withdrawing from your system, and your system is rebelling. The beauty: you only have to do it once. We will walk right by your side. Live in "LIVE CHAT" (upper right), bitch and vent there. After three days, it's a mental game. A tough mental game but no more physical symptoms. This is where you need the accountability, brotherhood, and phone numbers.
But I might be getting ahead of myself. Go post roll, I'll be checking every 10 minutes today until I see it....let's do it today. Do it for YOURSELF.

Slomo,
Quit with us. We're putting together a decent little group here, but we need some more hard-core quitters. We'll quit with you if you can keep your word to your brothers.
Do as the vets say and do and you will be quit. There is no "will quit" or "try to quit" or "hope to quit" or "attempt to quit." There is either quit or death.
Join our group. Post roll every day. Don't use nicotine. Keep your word. It's that simple.
I've been doing it for 10 days now and I can't even tell you how much better and more free I feel.
If you want to quit. We'll help you. But you have to commit.

Head to your respective page after reading the following links and you will have a far better understanding of what KTC is all about and your commitment to quit.
We're here to support you even when it feels like everything else is going wrong.
KTC has saved my life and the lives of other KTC members, past, present, future. Shit, just take a look at your number, #12,962! That speaks volumes along side the number of pages in each individual thread whether it be a quit group, words of wisdom, general discussion, or venting pages.
Read up, listen up, and don't be afraid to get involved, ask questions, and be proud!

Thanks jmac. Appreciate it.

Anytime Luby.
Slomo, it is in your best interest to go ahead and toss the can down the drain, clean up any trace of your addiction (spit bottles, empty tins, signage, etc) and post roll.
I've got hope for you, so prove me right!
I quit with you today.

He can't quit for you. Don't care if he has been "On your ass". Why are you here?
There is only one correct answer.
Anything else is a "Fail"

Thursday was to be day I quit....but....how the hell do you deal with an ex , attorney, custody battle?...so tomorrow starts anew! Let m have it, I deserve it

So you have not quit yet? What are you waiting for. Flush that shit and go post day one right now in February. You will always have a reason not to quit. But the truth is there is no better time then right now.
-
Well you deal with it by deciding whats worth you life. If you are having a custody issue I assume you have children. Could you look them in the eye and tell them you love dip more than you love them? You deal with it by saying today I'm quitting. I'm quitting for today. Not Forever, just for today. It is so much easier to quit for 24 hours than forever. Wake up the next day and quit for that day. Pretty soon you are a barbarian quitter who would rather cut off his arm than have a dip. There will ALWAYS be a reason to chew. Every day is a line in the sand my friend. You will either hold your ground or cave. Hope to see you routinely post roll every day. I will quit with you and so will every other guy on here, pinch your fucking sac and quit. No bullshit , just quit.
-
Your mind is telling you that you need nic to get you through these issues. I quit only 13 days ago and since then my father has been admitted into the hospital (ICU) for a still unknown illness. My brain said, "ok, now isn't the time to quit." My heart said no to my brain. Cravings are still there and seem to be getting worse (especially today), however, caving isn't an option. When I threw my last can away I was done!!! There's no way I could continue catering to this addiction. I don't care what happens... I can't go back to the can.

thats the adickt talkin rite there. wood you go thru all that stoned? may be with a few drinks in you? then why do you need the dip? if you think it dont alter your mind then it otta be eezy to quit for just a day. but gess what? its fuckin hard. your brains gonna tell you all sorts a shit to feed that adickshun. after a few days it gets eezyer but man your in for a world a suck. a week from now youll start to see dip aint the anser for any thing.

How do you deal with ________?? Fill in the blank! There will always be something. There is no better time like today to quit! Embrace the suck and quit with all these awesome quitters today!!
-
If you don't really want it, your addiction will always trick your brain into finding excuses.
-
Tomorrow never comes. Quit for today. You keep making excuses like the addict you are...
I used to make excuses like that 242 days ago. I chose to quit today...no more fucking excuses for Miles.
I'm living life now.
-
Dude, the attorney is doing the ex. The ONLY thing that matters....... your critters, and their dip free daddy. Rage out on the ex's attorney.... after all, you're payin him!
You have three excuses on your list of things to dip for. You know any excuse will do. It's fucking cold an raining outside, think I'll have a rub. Hey good news! I'm off the twelve hour days, now just 6 10s a week....let me celebrate with a dip. Motherfucker that just means I'm getting screwed out of doubletime! Comfory my candy ass with a wad of fucking shit. Dude man.... I have used every excuse in the world. There is no shortcut around the inevitable hell, but it beats the hell out of having your kids plant your cancer eaten, room temperature ass before they get out of high school. You. Can. Do IT!

No excuses, man. Find whatever reason you can to quit. Not what ever reason you can to throw in another dip. Do it for your kids, your health, your future. Quit for you. Quit for today. Every day. Go post roll for today only. And do the same tomorrow. If you need anything, don't hesitate to send me a message. I quit with you today. Proud to do so.

Drome is correct. You are giving us addict talk. We know, we are addicts. Your addiction can, and if you allow, will create an infinite number of reasons to acquire its fix. There is only one way out. Quit.

Reach down between your legs and see if you have a pair of balls. Go ahead, I'll wait...
Find them? Good...now sack up and toss your shit in the toilet. Quit right now.
There will never be a good time to quit; there will always be stress in your life; there will always be a reason for Nic to say "it's ok, just have one more". You, and you alone, must make the decision that you are taking control of your life and will no longer be a slave to the can. Get it over with, power through the first three days of the suck and press on to freedom.
What's that? You say it's too stressful right now? Well, let me tell you about stress...in the first two months of my quit I had:
Wife and kids move across the country after being separated for over a year.
Step-son involved in a life-threatening boating accident (that should have killed him).
Hospital accreditation survey (my job depends on a successful survey).
Being re-introduced to my father and brother after more than 25 years.
Playing single dad to three special-needs kids while my wife was dealing with the boat injury.
The list goes on and on...
Stress is stress, and it will be there no matter what happens. You have an ex, some doosh lawyer (sorry Ag), and a custody thing...so what. There's not one thing that dipping will make better or less stressful. In fact, once you finally decide to grab a handful of your balls and get onboard with quitting, you'll find that your invincibility factor increases exponentially. If I can do this after 34 years, you can do this...and if you can do this, you can do ANYTHING!
The choice is yours. Quit, and we'll have your back. Keep on delaying and you'll be tossed away like last week's trash. Quitters Only!
It's your move... 'archer'

So now that you posted day 1 AGAIN do you feel that the path in front of you is clearer this time? Have you found your quit balls? Will you own this day and let nothing tell you how to live the life 'you' should be living?
Let the power of quit compel you.

That day 2 looks really good brother. Way to kill it. Just make it through today, to bedtime. Use numbers (get numbers) anything you can to stay QUIT. You've got 'er by the hair and she's scared. She sees the look in your eyes that says you just might be serious this time. You ARE quit today, welcome.

I began this site about 5 days ago...thought I was ready...but wasn't. Was focused on the stress of personal issues. So I caved. I know we all have issues, problems and its no excuse to not quit. After court the can found the trash. I'm not a big fan of social sites but have seen how it has helped Luby. I can guarantee he will give me more shit than anyone. I have no excuse from here on out....just the lack of balls and pure selfishness.....I am addict....No excuses... B)
-
Either qut or don't. Fucking pick. No fence sitters here. Caving isnt in the fucking plan. Post roll....Quit for today...Go to bed...Wake up...Repeat. Ta fucking Da. Dont be a sissy bitch. Post a fat fucking day one again, mean it this time or fuck off.

^^ nailed it
Shit or get off the pot. You mention that you have a lack of balls. I could see that coming a mile fuckin away. Beating around the bush and making excuses because your mind is still controlled by the nic bitch. Step up or dont. Doesnt make a fuck to me until you tell me you quit and give me your word to stay that way. Cant nobody do this shit for you.

Alright time for me to say something. Slomo's horrendous start here, is partially my fault. He and I work together and are also close friends. We have stopped chewing together in the past, he has always wanted to quit just like me. So seeing me every week this fall enjoying my freedom has made him want what KTC has helped me gain. It doesn't help that I have used some of the "tough love" you see on this site. I would never force this place on anyone, I know a lot of dippers and I have only told the ones I know want to quit about our little community here.
So for being pushy I apologize to everyone at KTC for pressuring someone into joining our community that was not ready to buy in.
To slomo I will say here to everyone on this site what I have already told you. Grab your balls, go all in, get the fuck involved with your quit and the other quitters here and drink the mother fucking Kool aid, and you will have no bigger supporter.
I do NOT care about anything less than that.
I will quit with you today, that means something to me.
P.S. This is NOT a "social media site" this is a community of bad asses in a fight for our lives, we just happen to meet on the internet.
-
Hey Slomo,
Either quit for YOU, or get the fuck out of here and come back when you're ready to be a man. You're like K.D. fucking Lang with your constant caving. It's not that complicated. Your buddy Luby and thousands of others have successfully quit using this system. You can too. Don't be a pussy. Just fucking quit, or go home. We don't want constant cavers in the Feb. group.
But if you are going to make it stick, then I'll quit with you today. But don't be a fucking asshole and go back to the can or I'm done.

Difference between a "Stopper" and a "Quitter" (http://www.killthecan.org/facts/stopper-quitter.asp)
Poor me. Life is stressfull. I am weak. I have no balls. I am selfish. Life is not fair. Fail. Fail. Fail.
Get off the fucking pity wagon and take control of your life. It is simple and it is easy. You just have to eliminate dip as an option in your life. If dip is not an option, you are quit. You must be willing to suffer the penace of your addiction. Accept the penance and you are quit. Painful, torturous, but easy.

You took the words right outta my mouth. The KD Lang reference was priceless. As far as shlomo, pretend your a man and suck it up like the rest of us.

All I can say is quitting is hard.... Being a college catcher, playing football, life in general it's hard not to chew..and it sux...but still standing by the program and quitting... I ask myself, why did I ever put a dip in? I have no answer... Stay quit, stay together and we all can get through this together! I prefer to call us the February Failures....cause if we can't make it 100 days...we are nothing!
-
shit sure is hard to quit, but with all the support this website offer it's very possible. but you also need lots of will-power. this is 100% a mental game.
all us februarians (fuck, librarian) will pass the 100 day mark. we WONT let each-other fail!
and if you fail im going to shit in your sandals

After 9 days, I was on a roll..never thought or desired a chew... Until tonight....had a huge issue with ex, neighbor picked me up and I was ready to throw one in...then remembered what I told my kids today about my quit...I picked up my phone and sent a text to the ones that gave me their numbers...I was about to find out how serious this site was...I found out in a great way...thank you to all the guys that helped me to stay quit tonight...

When you reach out, you find out pretty damn quickly how much people on this site care about your quit.
Good decision. You need to keep those numbers close, especially early in your quit.
Your quit got a lot stronger today. Congratulations.

Well done.
Remember, caving is not an option...do something else. Simple yet wise words (from someone other than me) that I think about every time I get a crave.

There is no such thing as "almost caving". There is caving and not caving. And today you did not cave because you used the tools provided to you.
Victories like this feel great don't they.
Keep up the good work.
-
I hear ya there slomo, I had a rough day as well with similar events and similar outcomes.
Good job dude
-
Good job. Have a plan.
Life loves to kick quitters in the balls. I just picture the nic bitch running around with a 2x4 trying to clock me in the juevos. You gotta have a plan when the lumber hits because it will. You have a plan, when that board hits your crotch and jeans split open only to expose the giant steel shiny quitter balls of yours and the board splinters and the nic bitch gasps and runs for cover, you'll be able to face an even tougher challenge the next time.
-
Good job slomo. You exercised your quit muscles last night and this morning you are stronger because of it. Every time you beat down a crave, or reach out and use the accountability you have developed here, you are building the foundation of your quit a little bit stronger. Make that foundation strong, your house will never fall. At least not today.
Well done, thanks for sharing.
-
Every time you defeat a crave you get stronger! Nice job, Slomo!!

This is the fourth day in a row (I didn't go back further) that you haven't posted a day count. I am calling shenanigans and telling you to post your fucking (true) day count every time you post roll. For all we know you could have failed the past four days.
Get with the program here and observe the norm until you've earned the right to do different. Else you will fail for the umpteenth time, douchebag.
bumping this, I want an explanation
1. And you are who again?
2. Very good, you noticed it started with double digits so you not a complete moron.
3. Now stop looking up porn and research the names...you will notice they coincide with jersey numbers. You may become more intelligent...
4. Who gives a fuck how I post as long as I do?
5. I was told to apologize....umm, for what? Having a little fun, while quitting something I have been doing for 12+ years? Not going to happen. Only apology I have is even doing it...
6. I work in a creative business....I will be creative with posting...if its more than your simpleton brain can handle, well that's not my issue.
7. You seem to be the only one with an issue....must not of liked the guys I picked....
8. See #1
9. if I wanted to hear from a cunt, I would have contacted my ex-wife...
10. Ummmm....haven't failed

How many times have you caved Slomo?
You should be thankful that someone else gives two shits about your quit.
Your track record here at KTC sucks so it's gonna take some time to win back the hearts and minds of your fellow quitters.

Slomo, take the cocky attitude and turn it in to a little pride for your quit. Wear those days like a badge. But also be aware that pride can lead right back to the nic bitch.
Humble pride if you will.

Cocky attitude and turn it into pride? What makes you think i dont have pride in being quit for 15 days? I defend myself because some guy gets a burr up his ass..and I'm labeled cocky...OK
Is my quit about me or the people on this site? Seems many are offended/pissed because I don't put a number down....really? and Miles...who are you? Never had a conversation with you and you want to pile on? Your tough guy typing is comical...
Seems to me everyone on this board has had issues getting to day 1...I was no different

Cocky attitude and turn it into pride? What makes you think i dont have pride in being quit for 15 days? I defend myself because some guy gets a burr up his ass..and I'm labeled cocky...OK
Is my quit about me or the people on this site? Seems many are offended/pissed because I don't put a number down....really? and Miles...who are you? Never had a conversation with you and you want to pile on? Your tough guy typing is comical...

I love the rage!
Keep it up.

Just a little hint:
Just for personal reference, and so the rest of your fine quit brothers might know:
Post your Day.
That is all.
P.S. Thank You.

Miles is a fucking quit machine bitch. Get to know him. He could save your quit some day.
And stop being a dbag...post your fucking number.

Adding my 2 cents....first off Slomo is a friend of mine, the reason he is here is because I told him about this place and I will do whatever it takes to help him quit. That being said, should he post his number or do it a bit different (and frankly he ain't the first to use jersey numbers).? I do not give two little shits, I am happy he makes his promise every day and I will quit with him everyday. Many of you know me on this site and know I do not do drama, nothing against it, not my thing. But I have 2 points. 1) no one from February brought this up, yeah they're newbies but if it ain't a problem for them, I don't see an issue. 2) ODAAT if you have a question about the way Slomo was posting, you shoulda asked, if he gave ya douche answer call him a douche then. Don't jump his shit with both feet, he got off to a shitty start but he's posted everyday and kept his word since then, not saying you have to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's never good to assume the worst of someone.
I'll quit with everyone of you today.

Post your days. You can get lazy after you hit 4 digits.
Try to keep the number of intro threads you start to under 2 digits.
Thanks.

.........Try to keep the number of intro threads you start to under 2 digits.

'crackup'

For the record, the only thing I said was "It's called ACCOUNTABILITY. Get with the program."
I then sent you a PM stating that we prefer to see the number of quit days after your name on roll call.
You then create Intro thread number 36 to lament the fact that someone was calling you out about the way you posted roll.
If your pussy hurts because of anything I said, tough shit. I'm here every day posting roll or I have someone post for me when I don't have access to the interwebs. I'm not a tough guy hiding behind a keyboard, hell I'm not even a tough guy. I am man enough to post roll every day though.
Your word is all you got around here. You live and die by it. Like I stated previously, it's gonna take some time to win back the hearts and minds of your fellow quitters.
Now go put some salve on it.
-
Is my quit about me or the people on this site?
Here is where you seem to need a little direction. Your quit is indeed about us just as much as it is about you. Our collective quit is based on the strength and integrity of our brothers and sisters.
Seems to me you are lacking a bit in the integrity department.
Get with the program (as it was designed).
-
Your response makes zero sense. Integrity? I have been posting just because it's out of the norm and some guy seems to slam me who has never met nor made any attempt to contact me. That's integrity? I have no interest in hearing from Miles, Odaat and you can put yourself on that list too...WTF is wrong with some of you...
Miles...your post means nothing....you prove what kind of idiot are with each post...like I said, I would much rather chew again than have your support. Guys in my quit group haven't said said word...no, I'm not on here to win the hearts and minds of anyone...
-
Slo...
I just posted this in February. Please read it over.
I understand that you got called out wrongly. I'm sorry.
Just be careful on calling out those that have knowledge that you don't.
Slomo....wrong...my name is Jim Grogan..xxx-xxx-xxxx...I don't hide and not hiding behind a keyboard...miles and odaat or what ever you want to call yourselves...if I have to rely on either one of you to help me quit, well I should just start chewing again, others might respect you...i dont...was told not to burn bridges...well, I don't burn, I implode them. Those who have my back will, those who don't, I simply don't care. I was asked to apologize by those that have my number...yeah, that wont happen....This is my 16th day of no chew...my kids thank me
Jim, don't put your phone number in the public viewing area. You will get pictures of large greasy dicks and/or telemarketers selling mexican car insurance. You can *edit* any of *your* posts where the yellow buttons are (normally just report and quote), or would one of the moderators fix that for him.
Slomo - Post and Ignore the fucks. Make this about you.
This is classic late teen/early 20 rage, February quitters.
Hi February. I'm Wastepanel. You might remember me from such hall of fame groups such as December 2006 and October 2011. I also take care of an introduction thread that lays my quit out for all to see.
February quitters, Slomo and the rest of you are going to feel the rage building up in you around this time. It's a major funk, and it is the first major obstacle after the first week you must clear.
We all agree that the first week is pure hell. It takes all of our energy to just not chew. It leaves us exhausted at night, and unable to sleep. We are angry.
After you pass that initial week, things get magical. Your quit is strong, and you want to celebrate because you ARE quit. The adrenaline is high, and staying quit is quite easy here because of your motivation.
Then the late teens hit...
It starts off as general rage. You are perturbed at life in general, but your body isn't quite ready to admit it yet. So you internalize your battles, and let your aggression come out on this board. It's real easy to start thinking that this site is more drama than what it is worth. We've all been there.
The rage builds up until you hate everything associated with this board. You hate calling yourself an addict because you are quit, and you don't want to admit that you used to feel the need to stick that shit in you gums every moment you were awake. You attack everything about this site. Your brain tells you to leave and not come back.
This is called a planned cave.
All too often, we find these individuals cave shortly thereafter. Sure. I bet they didn't cave the day they stopped posting roll, but the nic bitch is a tricky lass. She will delete every tool that you've learned here when you're not thinking about her and she'll pounce. You'll be left defenseless.
It happened to me. It took nearly 850 days after I stopped posting roll (made the hof in 2006) for me to stop stopping tobacco. When I returned, I was unsure of my failing route.
I see my flaw now.
If I stop posting roll, I will forget. If I forget, I will fail.
That is what I am doing differently this time.
My suggestion is this:
Post roll.
Stay Quit.
Repeat.
Don't worry about the bullshit. Take a week. Post roll, and use the site as needed. It's ok to not be strong enough to deal with the bullshit here. I did it. So did many others. We posted roll everyday, but we walked away from the distractions of all the quote tags.
We're not here to give you guys a hard time. We're here because we've run the gauntlet you are running, and we want you to succeed. We've seen some stupid shit on these boards including guys that have caved and stopped posting days to hide it. We can be quite aggressive sometimes, but sometimes it's the only way to get it through to a hard headed addict.
ODAAT and other vets here are awesome quitters, and I respect every one of them as much as I respect you February quitters. They pulled me from the entrance to a cave so many times that I can't count. I never could have done this without the support they offered me and my brothers when we were in your shoes. Remember why they are calling you out:
You have lied to, cheated on, and stole time from every single person you hold dear. You take roll call seriously, and you will find that total strangers will give your quit more accountability than any “real” person in your world.
It's that simple, and it's words that I have lived by for 148 days.
I am going to add to that posting roll is sacred. It is not an agreement taken into lightly. If you quit, simply post your name up with how many awesome days. Creative posting requires a writer and reader. I could do this:
a;osidfhapoiwhfawoeiuhouwuoi-18923y4983298
and call it roll. If I'm the only one that understands it, then the creativity is lost. I would think the simple act of hyperlinking the name to a picture of the jersey would suffice. Or an appendix. Or a simple
"I put this guy. He was jersey 15."
This conversation would have been over and forgotten. ODAAT probably would have said sorry (but post roll properly), and we all would have enjoyed making ghey jokes for 2 days.

I understand that the roll posting gimmick is "sacred" which is why I do it.
I will respectfully disagree with everything else you have written about rage. I had more rage when i was chewing. Has only to deal with defending myself and because a couple hotheads behind a keyboard feel like bashing me for the way I posted roll, well they simply need to get over themselves...you wanna act hostile towards me, expect it back.
Who is exactly accountable for what? Because miles and Odaat had an issue when no one in my group did, I am supposed to bow down? Those guys wouldn't know who I was if I passed them in the street and can pretty much guarantee they prob wouldn't talk to me or anyone that way face to face....guys act like this is a locker but you can tell they have never been in one.....
I never have attacked this site....I think there are a few who fell empowered behind a keyboard, can say what they want and not be held accountable for that because the never have the face the people they are throwing venom at.
To my feb group and supporters...keep the quit....to all others...go fuck yourself....yes and Luby will attest to this...I would say it to your face.

I'm not saying you did.
I'm just saying to be careful.
Having the rage is common. How you deal with it is unique to you.

Slomo posting roll is the highlight of being quit bro. That's you telling the world "FUCK YOU I AM NO LONGER OWNED". This "gimmick" is designed to provoke positive visualization a.k.a. get your mind right and your ass will follow. Its also you putting your word down to the folks next to you that you are strong enough to fight for 24 hours, that those guys can say to themselves "if slomo can do it so can i". I think this is what Parputt was talking about. Its symbiotic.
I prefer karma to drama. Telling folks off that only want one thing (you to succeed) I don't think is fair. Anyone of these fuckers can call me on the phone and I'll talk them off the ledge. You included. That's why this place is special. I'm not the only one that would offer this. Anyone of these fuckers would do the same.
I quit today.
-

Gimmick? Yea, I see repeated failure in your future.
And all this knowledge after 16 days quit. Wow, O Great One, please share the rest of your vast knowledge with us.

Fail.

After 9 days, I was on a roll..never thought or desired a chew... Until tonight....had a huge issue with ex, neighbor picked me up and I was ready to throw one in...then remembered what I told my kids today about my quit...I picked up my phone and sent a text to the ones that gave me their numbers...I was about to find out how serious this site was...I found out in a great way...thank you to all the guys that helped me to stay quit tonight...

--------------------
No Excuses
Try to remember this is how the place works as well. It is not just drama, and people calling you out. There are a lot of us here that don't think the games are necessary, I was able to avoid all that and I have been lucky to have a great group of quitters by my side.
I'll quit with you today.
-
Souli, I posted roll in your group today...no way am I letting you down.
Slomo.....
Accountability is not a gimmick. In my short time here on KTC, I have made a few friends...a few I have met in person, some I have not. These friendships are an investment in my quit....an investment in accountability, if you will...while I quit for me, I post each day knowing that I would disappoint my friends if I failed to fulfill my promise.. It has worked for me for 284 days. I see no reason to modify a plan that has given me far more success than any other I ever tried in 34 years of active addiction. There are hundreds of people on the site willing to lend a hand when you need it...the only thing they ask in return is that you invest in your own quit...taking roll call seriously is a necessary first step. Your roll post is a promise...Your integrity is on the line... If not- your roll post is meaningless.
