Title: Once Upon A Time
Post by: Keiffer on July 12, 2015, 02:41:00 AM
Hi KTC,

I was once a member on this site, and I went a solid four months away from chewing and smoking.. I made the poor choice of stopping using this site after about 30 days of my quit thinking it was going to be so easy to continue on my own, but I was wrong. Here I am again pleading for help against the death defying can and pack of carcinogens. As I'm tying this post I have a chew in, but I have already thrown away my last can which was close to full. I'm posting this tonight because I want to wake up in the morning to the people that once inspired me to join them in their journey and give me a second chance. I'm far too young and have too much to look forward to in my life to be wasting my hard time and money into something so worthless. Tobacco is the demon that folllows me and lurks in the shadows of my life. I feel KTC has the ability to perform an exorcism against this demon to steer me clear of the can of darkness.

Hello. You're definitely at the right site if it's nicotine you want to quit, but I have a few questions and concerns...

First, I wish you hadn't come here with a dip in. I'm glad that was your last one or whatever, but it's really beyond disrespectful to come here with a packed lip, dude. We have people on this site who have lost family and parts of their face to that shit. Not to mention it's confusing as hell to hear you talk about how you hate tobacco and want to quit, meanwhile you have some in your mouth. I know this is the internet and no one here can see you dipping, but it's the principle of the thing. It'd be like showing up at AA drinking your last beer.

Secondly, you mentioned you were a member here before? What was your name? Because if you were posting roll with a group, you owe it to your new group, your former group, AND yourself to explain what happened with your quit the last time. Yeah, they'll probably be less than happy to hear about it, but it has to be done and will help you and others to better understand what does and does not work when it comes to quitting nicotine. If you weren't posting roll with your group...weeell, you saw what happens when you try to go it alone. Doesn't work out too good! Either way, be sure to be involved! Hell, you'll make some great friends along the way, too.

Finally, it's true KTC can help you immensely, but ultimately it's up to you to quit. None of us can come to your house and knock the dip can out of your hand. We can't physically restrain you from buying a pack of smokes or a can of lip turd at the gas station. YOU have the ability to perform the exorcism you're talking about, and the rest of us can offer advice, brotherhood, and accountability. If you really want this, you'll find an unfathomable amount of support here. This truly is anyone's best bet at quitting. This site works if you buy into it and use all the resources it offers.

I hope to hear back from you because I want you to be nicotine free and to succeed, but I've gotta know that you want it, too! If so, I'll quit with you any time.

^^^^ What He Said ^^^^^ Invaders advise is spot on, I suggest you re-read his post, make sure your mind is right and get in here and get some Badass quit started.

Quit with you,

Oh man Invader! That is the wake up slap of truth!
Nicely done.
I share my quit with you.
Keiffer be clean, be strong and brave. The beast is horrible with suckage and true pain. You can beat it. Be accountable. Say it out loud and it is easier. I'm an addict everyday. I choose to quit everyday.
Good luck Keiffer- you must be quit today. It's entirely your ability to be determined, focused and present. I will gladly share my quit with you today.

Kiefer what's gonna be any different this time? It takes a really tough man to do this shit by themselves and still damn hard with help. Get posted up I'm sure you gonna have to answer questions but you will get support when you do. I quit with you!
