Hey guys. This is Matt. I've tried to quit 100 times. Throwing a can away every day for a period of two or three weeks isn't new to me. What I've come to realize through monitoring this board the last few weeks is that I haven't REALLY put forth the effort that it takes. About a month ago I was quit for about 8 days. The longest I've gone in the 9 years I've been a dipper. I've tried another platform but to be quite frank, it's too soft. And I would go dark if I quit quitting. My quit starts tomorrow. I don't hope that I'll be quit tomorrow. I know that I will be quit tomorrow. I'll be utilizing the roll call as a no nonsense pledge to remain tobacco free which I've never done before. I pledge to be 100% honest. I dont intend to slip but if I do, i hope i get so much shit from this group to motivate me to start over. Nice to meet everyone. Let's do this.

Get after it, Matt. Day 2 of being dip free after 13 years. Ohhhhhh so unhappy right now. Stick with it. I will too.

You are at the right site to quit, but we don't worry about tomorrow here. It is all about today. I just posted my promise to quit for today. Are you with me?

Hi Matt,
I saw you posted roll today, that is awesome. We will work on you posting it correctly over the next few days but the most important thing is you are on roll, that's what matters. You have made your pledge to be nicotine for the next 24 hours, all you have to do is keep your word. Start exchanging digits with other quitters, this will start your wall of accountability and brotherhood and it gives you instant access to support if you need it for a bad crave. You can call anyone of the brothers you have digits for, and they stay on the phone with you until the crave passes. It is this kind of brotherhood and accountability that has saved many from caving. Those that choose not to exchange digits, often find themselves back here posting Day 1 again because they caved.
Check your inbox for my digits.
Stay involved in your group, don't just come in here, post your promise and leave. Read other post and get to know the other quitters. It really strengthens your quit knowing what others are going through and being able to talk about it here in the forum.
I am proud to quit with you today,
Chris

Made it to day 4 but I want to have this thread to remind myself how ungodly miserable days 1-3 were so I don't ever have to go through them again.
Day 1- cant wake up to workout which is my typical routine fetal position working from my bed not answering a single friends call or text all day
Day 2- cant wake up to workout again, fetal position in bed with ski jacket on in texas all day. Miss my friends going away dinner because I'm just pissed off at the world and want nothing to do with anyone
Day 3- and again... fetal position In bed before trying to work/nap the day away. Almost impossible to do. Still wanting to punch a hole in my window and be angry at every person I see for no legitimate reason
Day 4- wake up at 3am and cant go back to bed. Try to stay up til 5 am to go workout but fall asleep around 4. Wake up at 5, snooze my alarm as if not to work out. Tell myself FUCK THIS and jump out of bed, put my shoes on, tell myself "let's fucking go!" To get in my car to work out. I get to my car outside and cant find my fucking keys, wall back inside, still cant find them. 10 minutes later, found! Get to the gym on time, work out, feel much better by the end. Didnt even stop at a gas station on the way back for a lip. Boom. Just gotta stay quit today, then quit again tomorrow.

Great job getting this down! Those first few days are absolute killers, but the GOOD news is that all of that poison is out of your body now. It's up to YOU to keep it out.
Celebrate every single one of your wins and your milestones. Proud AF to be quit with you!
I expect a text from you every single day until AT LEAST the time you hit HOF, and you're not allowed to cave without permission!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ2HcRl4wSk)

The decision to quit is one of the best things I've ever done for my family, my friends, but most importantly myself!
Congrats brother, keep on kicking the nicotine down the drain and use your resources.
Posting roll every day is extremely important.
When you fill the need to cave think back to the promise you made!

Hey matt, welcome to ktc. You just changed your life. Right now you are on day 5 or 6 and you are nic free!! Congrats!! Big, big win there. You should start feeling much better by the end of the weekend. You will probably find yourself unable to concentrate for long periods of time or at all but it too will pass. The great thing is the hardest part is over.
I was in the same exact place that you are right now about 2 -1/2 months ago. Post roll early, give your promise, and be a man of your word. Do this every day. Rinse and repeat. Once you start feeling better, get yourself acquainted with ktc and all it has to offer to a new quitter such as yourself. Glad to have you onboard. Oh, be rather careful with drinking alcohol at all right now. It is a huge trigger for many a quitter and can only cause problems. If you have any questions or concerns I'll send you a pm with my digits. Protect your quit and call someone if you ever find yourself in trouble. Drink lots of water. Again, congrats and welcome.

New to the forum and 4 days into my quit. Stoked to be doing this for my personal health and for my family who depends on me.
I'm here for support and to support all of you too. Besides the anxiety and all the thoughts going thru my head, I'm doing okay.
Much love to all of you for digging deep and making this decision.
Congrats to all of you, and thanks for welcoming me here.
