Title: Hello Quitting World!
Post by: Quitthecan on January 26, 2020, 04:42:11 PM
So I am new to this website. I am 29 years old and have dipped for the better part of half my life and am finally ready to free myself from this shit. I stumbled across this website and it has inspired me seeing other folks in my position wanting to quit and that have successfully quit. So with all that being said tomorrow is my quit date so after today I will start my journey on being tobacco free. Wish me luck fellow comrades!!

Hey @Quitthecan (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=16643) .  Welcome aboard.  You are making a great decision...one that may save your life.  If you want to quit successfully, this is the place.  Lots of folks here are ready and willing to support you.

My first question is why wait for tomorrow?  Toss that can right now...while you are motivated to do so.  If you've been using for awhile, you've tried to quit before, and I'm sure you've set dates and watched them sail by with a big wedge in your lip.  Don't let this moment pass.  Hop on that grenade right now.  Post roll in the May '20 group and make today your first day quit.

Link for May '20: https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16257.0

There's a lot more to talk about but all in good time.  Take that first step brother (sister?).  Freedom and peace of mind patiently await.

Hey @Quitthecan (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=16643) ....I want to echo what  @EXBEARHAG (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14879) said....why wait??? Get rid of it right now. Remember, this is a no nicotine group. That means no tobacco, no nic gum, no nic patches and nothing else that contains nicotine. I do want to welcome you and tell you that everyone on here will have your back. You have to make the choice to quit though. Remember that we are addicts. Our brains will speak addict talk to us. It will tell us to give in. It will try to justify taking another hit. Lean on us here. We’ve all been there and understand. We will support you and give you a kick in the butt as needed. Please don’t wait. Get rid of that crap right now. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Hey guys thanks for the responses!! And yes after I posted on here I decided that waiting wasn’t the right thing. So as of 6:40 PM I am tobacco free. I will not let it rule my life. I will never turn back to the can. I’m stronger than the can is so I know I can get through this

As soon as you can tomorrow, do it again.

Are you in Hawaii?  Because, that would be a good excuse that  you aren't posted today for a day 2 at noon time EST.
Post roll first thing every morning and make that promise.  Get on roll.

I hope I'm wrong, but feel like something is off here. I feel like you aren't 100% committed yet. if that's not the case, I will apologize. but you gotta get on roll. Make the promise early. keep the promise all day. I told you we'd have your back, but you have to put the work in.

The process is simple, we quit one day at a time (ODAAT):

1. Wake Up
2. Piss
3. Post your promise to be nic free for 24 hours
4. KEEP YOUR WORD
5. Repeat Daily

WUPP (Wake Up, Piss, Post)

If you are not doing at least the above, you will not remain quit for very long.  You've already made the decision to quit, now show us you are serious and get in here an post roll @Quitthecan (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=16643) !!
