welcome to the over 30 crowd! There are quite a few of us that have been addicted for over 30 yrs.
Posting roll early and daily is essential, it is what gives your quit teeth. With no promise there is nothing to keep you away from the shit!!!!
PM me if you need anything, start getting numbers of fellow quitters that you can call on when the shit hits the fan and it will. I'd be glad to trade #'s if you want.

Jesserobz,
You just got comments from two bad ass quitters. They have helped me in dark times.
I hate the tobacco industry. It is a cold hearted, dirty business. I was in its power for 21 years.
Like you I am an addict. Your quit is going to be hell. First the detox. That is only three to four days. Then the long battle of your brain and body functioning without the toxic poison it has been used to.
Fold your arms opposite of how you normally do or try to write with the opposite hand. It will just feel off and you will have to really concentrate to get in the groove.
You will have triggers that you must resist and your brain is going to rewire. It is all part of the process.
Suck-it from the June group taught me a phrase and told me to "Embrace the Suck."
Jess, it is going to suck. You are going to hurt both physically and emotionally. Look at it like you are very sick and you came to a hospital to heal. When it hurts, when you feel out of balance....Don't worry and don't surrender. Always remember you are healing.
I am 87 days quit. I had some dark days in this and I had some great days in this journey.
Looking back at my short journey....It is awesome to be quit!!!! The burden is lighter when you control your addiction. Chewing tobacco and letting your addiction rule your life is a greater burden and you are not free.
You just broke the shackles that enslaved you for years, now you have to walk through hell to earn your freedom.
It is worth it. Just never worry about tomorrow. Only focus and win your battle today. If you wake up tomorrow, you repeat. Make your promise to quit that day and that's all you worry about. Stay quit today. If you wake tomorrow post roll and repeat.
KTC process is simple and effective. If you follow the program with exactness, you will succeed in your goal to be freed from your vice.

Welcome Jesserobz,
It is good to see someone who refuses to be a slave any longer. You can have your life back.
You're in the right place. You're tough, you can do this. Alot of quit brothers have quit before us. They are PROOF that we can do this....one day at a time, sometimes 1 minute at a time.
To be quit is a process, it is not an event. We proceed daily with our quit. We will deal with tomorrow when it gets here.
Good to be quit with YOU. I am day 15 and it feels weird. I am rewiring now. It is all good. Stay scared. Stay quit.

Thanks for the encouragement. I ain't goin back. SCREW THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY!!!
