Hey everybody, so great to be here and be surrounded by such a tremendous number of people who have the same goal as I do.
Not a whole lot to say right off the hop here, but a little background. Two grandparents had cancer and succumbed, and dad's fiancee had cancer and succeeded. I am going to chose her path, avoid the game, and come out on top for a better me.
I'm currently a 21 year old student, going into pre-health, and livin' off the map in good old NoDak. Took my first dip when I was 13, quickly worked my way up to a can a day+ pace, and have not looked back since... Until this past Sunday. Had my "last" dip at 9 AM, ran the can out, and haven't touched it again to this point. So as of an hour from now, I have been quit for 4 days.
Tough it has been, yes, but I am blessed to have come across a group of people with common struggles such as yourselves, and I look forward to taking this journey together day by day. I dipped all day, every day, in every situation but I'm fed up with this fucking demon, and it shall not overcome me (or us), not with the great lives that we have left to lead.

Haha, the strips are out on the western side of the state, so no, I don't roll with that crew. But as of the lastest reports, they're actually coming out of the clubs at night with 2-3 grand! There's been chicks flying up from Vegas just to stay and work for a few weeks at a time.. That's how big of a killing they're making.
And I already did most of my reading before puttin up this here intro, but just moments ago I got the first roll call up!

Going steady so far. The urges are always there obviously, and I understand that comes with it. One point in particular tonight where one of my fair friends (who wasn't aware of my quit) found me in the study cave and tried to get me to have a pinch but I fired right back at him and brushed the mouth shit away.
Considering thirsty Thursday tonight, but currently leaning towards not going for it. It's already going to be a rough weekend, so I think a 3-day bender would be a bad option.
This weekend is going to be a big test for me, seeing as how it's my first real weekend on a quit and such. I have alarms set each of the next three mornings reminding me to post roll call. I know that with the motivation and support I receive from you all, I too can kick the shit. Soo glad to have discovered this place.

Welcome ChewCrew! You are 100% correct about a three day bender being a bad idea..Early quit coupled with alcohol= dangerous territory. It's a judgement impaired thing. Better to stay sober and stay quit. You can do this. Freedom is right around the corner.
Glad to be quit with you,

Keep up the quit. I quit last Sunday as well so I am right with you. You are doing great. Do whatever you have to over the weekend. Reach out to KTC if you hit a rough patch.

Survived the huge weekend, and most importantly I survived it quit. That's 7 days quit now, and also my first weekend survived. Anyone else make it through their first big milestone this weekend? We're beating this bastard together.

Nice work Crew. You're gaining momentum which is what makes this easier from one day to the next. One week is big...Day 8 is even bigger. You got this!!!

Day 126.
Looking back on this, my meager introduction, and having been away from it for so long makes me truly appreciate all of the support that I received from you all as I began my journey with KTC. I am so incredibly thankful to have found this environment and all of the wonderful people that had already been occupying it.
Keep quit and keep carryin' on everyone. It truly is a pleasure to kick this bitch right in the poop chute each and every day with all of you. From now on I plan to get in here more often and let you all delve into my thoughts. Nothing special, just a kid with shit on his mind that's better left here.

Just found out this past Friday that my time in NoDak is quickly winding down. After summer practicum, I will be shipped down to Omaha, NE in middle to late September to begin rotations.
This is welcome news. There's only so much excitement that this tundra can hold, so I'm happy to be changing things up a bit in the near future. Anyone have any experience in/around Omaha? If so, what can you tell me? I've been doing a little bit to look into the area, but some extra input never hurts.
Quit with y'all today.
