So my wife stumbled across the KTC community while looking for some help for me and I am really glad she did. This is hands down the best thing to have on my side for kicking this nasty ass habit that would no doubt kill me someday. I am really excited to get plugged in with you guys and have really been encouraged by those who have reached out to me already. Thanks for all you guys do and can't wait to get to know yall better!

Well, Duck FipsÂ…I effed it up.
This past weekend I was drinking with some old buddies I donÂ’t see very often, all of which are tobacco users, and didnÂ’t prepare myself properly. Went into the situation without much thought towards how to help myself resist the temptation, drank just enough to not care, and threw my 93 days out the window. I had a pinch. Granted I did not keep it there long, and, in all honesty, it actually did not taste good, but I still did it.
What I did NOT do though was go buy a tin the next day, or the day after that, and I told my wife instead of hiding it like I would have in the past. So even though I f*cked it up, I still learned something from the past three months with you DUCK FIPS. THANK YOU!!!
Lessons learned:
1. ALWAYS have a plan. DonÂ’t let your guard down.
2. DonÂ’t rely on your friends who are under the seductive net of the nic bitch to not give it to you when you ask.
3. DonÂ’t hide it.
Back to Day 4 today, and I will be joining the January quit group – which will actually put my quit date two days before my 29th birthday.
Going to miss being a DUCK FIP!!! Take 'er easy, fellers...and thank you.

Hey bud I hate to hear that you caved. I am glad that you owned up to it and did so in the October group. January 14 embrace this quitter he made it to within a week of his HOF, then caved like a normal addict can.
Sparrow, I will quit with you every damn day and I hope to see you hit that HOF because form experience it is a very special day. My biggest advice to you is this time use the site for more than the minimum.

I've tracked this down to your old group, your new group and this group. You've answered, for the most part the first two but I believe you didn't answer question three.
I'm glad your quit, I believe everyone is glad you are but no one gets a pass without answering and should be your ticket back.
(1) What happened to make you cave?
(2) Why did it happen?
(3) What are you gonna do differently in this quit, to avoid the same thing happening?
PM me if you need assistance and I'll be glad to help!

Sparrow, when the cave happened, did you post roll that day? The answer you give is very important.

He caved over the weekend and continued posting so yes he's a liar. Also, I have the answers to his HOF questions that he sent to me on the 21st, Monday. He came clean to his wife over the weekend but continued to post roll and lie.
That being said I want to say this to Sparrow, I caved. No shit. My join date is 2011, I posted 141 today in 2013. I know all about giving up, stopping. Nicotine is no shit the worst thing I can ever do to myself and family besides dying and canceling my life insurance. I told you to think about those 3 questions long and hard. Please go read mine. It took me more than a few minutes to fully answer them. I first posted some short quick responses and thought that would fly.
What I am saying is that you don't have your mind straight to quit. That means NEVER EVER FUCKIN EVER FUCKIN SHIT NEVER AGAIN.
Redo your answers to reflect how you changed since caving. Your head wasn't straight then what made that light bulb go off today or did it?

Agreed, I think a thorough explanation and confession is due here Sparrow. I thought I sniffed a little bullshit in the first post. Your "confession" just seemed a little flippant and casual given the situation.
I like many others understand that this addiction is a life and death battle and your explanation screamed to me "oh well, fuck off, see you in Jan '14".
As is if caving isn't enough, you posted roll quit after your cave. I hope you look in the mirror and make the decision that you want to be a real quitter. Otherwise just take the excuses out the door with you.

I would advise not screwing with roll, that does not fly around here. If he is lying, he has to come clean but he has to change it. Roll is sacred, we don't mess with it.

Sorry guys,, I caved.. No big deal!! Duck fips,, I posted with you side by side for over 90 days, but that don't mean sh--t to me. I'll just join another group and start over. Hope you don't mind. Oh by the way,, I lied for a couple days on roll.. Well, see you guys later,, have much to do today..
Does this pretty much sum this all up??

WOW!!!! I almost missed this one.......
Bro you need to wise up! This shit is for real! We live and die by ONE fundamental truth. Our word is our bond! You caved.... o.k. I can actually understand that! But posting roll while chewing is unacceptable to anyone here! It is a violation of our codes and if I am not mistaken it carries consequences far greater here. I do not wish to see you go because I think everyone needs support. However, you need to be a man of your word and be a man that your brothers can trust. How can anyone trust you to have there back if they do not know that you are real? You have some explaining to do and I would advise you to do it with more seriousness then just acting like "it was great while it lasted but now your going to move on to a new group"...... that does not cut it! you have people that have supported you and they need to know why they should support you again. You get out of KTC what you put into it. Nothing more nothing less!

Game 2 of the world series is tonight. I'm going to sit in the bar tonight, drink and watch the game. I will however probably be craving so I'm going to go to the 7-11 and buy some cope to go along with that beer.
You guys will forgive me when I post roll over the next few days while I have a big ole rub in my lip right? Nice, I thought you all would. I'll post a day one on Monday just to keep it all official and start all over again.
Thanks everyone for letting me do this and still allowing me to be part of this site. I really will quit again in a few days even though I don't need to be accountable to anyone. I'll just jump on to the February 2014 group and no one will know any different.
(I'm kidding of course and I would never do this but if we don't hold peeps accountable then this is what happens)
-
I think that it is bullshit that Sparrow refuses to respond for his actions. Caving, lying afterwards and not showing any respect to the group he pissed on. I don't speak for all of the Ducks but i'm sure a few would agree with me.
I would hope your new group would get on your ass to come clean (Hello January?!) Eventually though, this kind of behavior will not keep you quit, but lead right back where you started.
QFQQ

Yeah, his cave was planned and it's BS. Unreal that he gave up on himself and his quit brothers so easily and casually.
He owes his brothers an explanation but judging by his actions since his planned cave, they won't get one.
-
I just can't seem to let this one go.....
So Sparrow, I see you posted roll today, Day 7 right?
Today would have been your HOF day if you wouldn't have been a pussy and stuck that shit in your mouth again. I would like to know how you feel starting over again, instead of taking pride in your milestone today.
You continue to stay silent, posting roll with your new group but you have yet to address the group you lied to when you posted your Day 96 after caving. Do you think by staying quiet, posting in Jan '14 that you won't repeat your mistake and cave again?
I would encourage you to show some fucking integrity and then get involved in your quit. I'm not the only one that noticed January has become a huge group, some good quitters but not without it's problems. Why don't you step up and take your quit to the next level Sparrow? Take a role in your group's quit, something...... I hope you show some testicular fortitude, but I don't expect we'll see anything new..... except maybe another Day 1 down the road.

Just going to jump right in...
The day after my cave (story towards the end), I was in denial that my "little" fuck-up did not constitute a cave. Ha...addict. I convinced myself for nearly two days that I didn’t cave and continued to post roll. But, once the dust settled and I came clean to my wife, I knew what I had done. I lied to myself again, and I started to lie to my wife again. That was not a spot I wanted to be in...again. No matter how much I believed that my fuck-up was a one-time deal and I was not going to go buy another tin, I did not want to keep that secret from her ever, ever again. It wasn’t easy to tell her. Yeah, she was upset and disappointed, but she was supportive, firm and honest with me. I felt good about coming clean. And then she helped me realize my denial...explaining that “little” fuck-up just tossed my 93 days out the window and I was back at day 2. I even tried to make excuses: “Restarting will make it even easier to use again!” I thank her that she responded strongly. Had she not, the addict in me may have buried that little secret, and the good part of me would be sick with guilt as I posted day 100 on October 26th...adding another skeleton to my closet. I don’t need any more of those, and (at that point) I was really proud that I made the right choice and didn’t lie.
The next day I knew what I had to do. I came clean to Duathman on KTC. He had sent me a PM with the HoF questions I needed to answer for my imminent day 100, so I asked what I needed to do. He was supportive but firm...explaining the process of the three questions. “No problem!” I thought. I was ready for my fresh start. And, a lot of you who have reached out, called me out were right...I took it all for granted. I didn’t even think about the fact that I had lied to all of you as well by continuing to post roll. The pledge I took with my old Duck Fips...betrayed. Yeah, that part definitely did hit home, and I honestly was very embarrassed at my failure and hoped I could move on without letting all of my brothers down.
Denial. Addict.
I wrote my post and threw it up with hopes I could join my new group and that was that. Never realized the communication going on under this thread for the past week until a couple hours ago, hence my silence. Guess I am more of a forum newb than I thought. Denial?
Cutting to the chase, I now realize the gravity of my actions and the lack of respect on my part for the relationships and accountability on this site. I offer up my sincerest apologies to all of you. I realize that trust is built, and I didnÂ’t just tear that tower down...I dug a big ass hole and buried the fuckinÂ’ pieces to rebuild it. IÂ’m not looking for acceptance - just a chance for your fellow addict here to prove his integrity to you.
I want to thank those of you who called me out. Today...reading all of this...really helped tear me down. I truly needed that.
I want to apologize directly to the October 2013 Duck Fips. You guys still badass enough to be able to call yourself one...congratulations on your HoF, and sorry for my lies and betrayal. You guys helped me through the hardest part of my quit and for that I thank you.
Lastly, I want to do a better job at answering the three questions.
1. What happened? Well, I was back home in Indiana at a diesel truck pull at my hometown’s county fairgrounds. I knew there was going to be chew there...and a hell of a lot of it. I went into the situation a little too cocky. “Shit, 93 days down...I am good.” Let my guard down, drank more beer than I should have given the situation and temptation, and had one dip from one of my buddies within the last 20 minutes of the night. Fucking stupid. It even tasted fucking bad. Think I maybe kept it in for 5...10 minutes tops. Pissed it all away.
2. How did it happen? Like I mentioned, I did not prepare myself. I didn’t remind myself that the nic bitch doesn’t give a fuck about how many days you quit for. I didn’t say ahead of time, “Maybe it would be better to not drink since you know you are going to be around all of your buddies who dip without your wife to knock some sense into you.” Or, “Maybe you should be ready to text or call your wife or some of your quit group buddies because they are the ones who really support you.” I also tend to be really good at blocking bad thoughts out, and it was not hard for me to not think about everyone I was letting down...especially myself. Addict.
3. What am I going to do differently? [1] IÂ’m not going to go into another situation where I know there will be temptation without a plan. In fact, I am going to avoid those situations altogether. That was the first time the temptation and alcohol was there in my 93 days that I did not have my wife to keep me strong and hold me accountable, and I did a really shitty job at preparing for it. [2] I am not going to even think to rely on my addict friends to not give it to me. I now know that they will every time that I ask for it, so be the fuck ready. [3] IÂ’m going to be honest and open about it. Talk about it every day. Post roll. Read othersÂ’ threads. Reply to them. Get engaged with the KTC community. Do a way better job the second time around than the first. [4] I am going to take my addiction more seriously. [5] Hit day 100. [6] Conquer dip.
Again, sorry to those I have wronged. Please give me a chance to prove that statement to you.

Sparrow,
I certainly appreciate you finding this and seeing what a few of us had to say. I respect the fact that you owned up and realized that you let more people down than you initially thought. I also hope that all of this serves as a reminder to all that they should check more than just the Quit Groups when they log on.
I hope that you can learn from this because you now owe yourself a HOF speech once you get there. I am convinced that it is possible but you need to make it happen this time.

Let me tell you brother, you lifted me up today. I have had a bit of a funk following me around today and you blew some of it away. I'm letting you know this so that you can see what an impact you can have on your quit brothers. I log in and a guy who I had written off, stands up, admits his mistake and ready to move forward with new vigor. I hope you get involved with your group, big group over there in Jan, can always use more leaders.
Quit with you today!

Sparrow,
You have an awesome quit group(s). There is no shame in failing as long as you are resolved to defeat your addiction this time. I have been successful 150 days. I dont take tomorrow for granted; each day poses it's own risk. get with your new group and become a leader.
Duathman caved. Duathman came back and became a leader for my group and today he is clean. I am pretty confident tomorrow he will be clean too. You know why? Because he is involved with KTC.
I am quit with you today. I was sorry not to post your 100 days but I am very happy that you stuck around and owned up to your mistake. It was the right thing to do; I also know that it would be a hard thing to do.
If you need anything let me know

Just going to jump right in...
'clap' 'clap'
Thanks for the reminder of why I don't want to start over. I'm not sure about forever, but I'm damn sure it won't happen today.
I'd recommend you point your wife to THIS LINK (Spousal unit FAQs) (http://www.killthecan.org/community/spousal-support/) if you haven't already.
Remember that your addict buddies are following VERY well established psychological principles. They may be good dudes, but your quitting threatens a part of their tightly constructed justifications for dipping (a sideways application of cognitive dissonance theory).

Welcome back Sparrow! I was just getting caught up on your thread this evening. Way to dig deep and think thru your actions. It is always said that going thru the 3 questions is not a BS exercise and it is really for YOU! I can tell you took that to heart and thought it thru. Proud to be quit with you today. Now let's move forward and stay quit ODAAT!

It's a pretty shitty way to learn a lesson, but sometimes a lesson can add strength to your resolve.
We're glad you're still here. Own it.

Sometimes, it unfortunately takes situations like this. With this said, may this entire experience continue to keep your eyes open to all the temptation around you. It will always be there. You and only you, can strengthen yourself daily.
Just today. Nothing more. Certainly nothing less.

Day 35 of KTC Quit: Round 2. Woke up feeling pretty shitty after having a dream that I caved. Felt pretty real at the time. Had the same "fuck it" attitude I did when I caved 35 days ago on day 93 of KTC Quit: Round 1. In the dream I was even back at the same place I was when I caved - almost like I had a chance to redo the whole thing and still fucked it up.
But, it was a dream. That's the only place you'll get me to cave, Nic Bitch!!! 'Finger'
Outside of that, feeling damn good. Looking back, that cave helped me more than I could have ever imagined. Big thanks to some bad ass quitters who have helped keep me in line: Sand_Fleas_Gotta_Eat, Boelker, Evil_Won, Scowick65, txredfish, and all those who jumped my ass when I was being a bitch! Haha. You guys rock and I can't thank you all enough. Busting my ass to pay it forward.

Big thanks to some bad ass quitters who have helped keep me in line: Sand_Fleas_Gotta_Eat, Boelker, Evil_Won, Scowick65, txredfish, and all those who jumped my ass when I was being a bitch! Haha. You guys rock and I can't thank you all enough. Busting my ass to pay it forward.

Way to man up and take this addiction on headstrong!
You are. Killing it one day at a time for round 2.

Sparrow,
Well brother it has been a long, curvaceous road for your quit! You came, stopped, caved, and came back again. Congratulations to you on hitting 100 days today.
I know that it is not easy to come back hear a ration of shit from several people including myself but you did it and you hit the HOF. Remember that today is merely a milestone. You have put your quit pants on one day at a time to this point.
Do not lose sight of that, come back tomorrow post up 101 and remember that today is the only day to worry yourself about.
I admire you for coming clean, staying through the tide and hitting a great milestone today. I trust that your January 2014 Group is as proud of you as I am to see you make it.
P.S. I wanted to resurrect your intro to make sure that you remembered the journey.
Sincerely,
Pinched

I started a Google Sheet for myself as a way to track my days quit: The Quit Counter (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J5ctZ3bb-IYRxaW6rn5zv5w0FX2DMEdlamYZVjpM9uI/edit?usp=sharing). It's simply made to tell you how many days quit you have from the current day's date.
If anyone would find this useful, send me a PM with your quit date and what you quit on that date and I will add you. You can then bookmark that link and it will take you back to the Google Sheet - automatically updating your day counter to the current date. Might be more applicable to those who aren't in a newer group maintaining a spreadsheet, or those quitting something other than dipping and want a counter.
Hope it helps!
I wasn't sure where to put this post, so please move it if it makes sense elsewhere.

Nice man.
We have a counter on the front page (http://www.killthecan.org/) of the site that is quite useful as well. A few years ago, we even had a member create a Free App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidnewz.myquittracker&hl=en) for android devices that texts you your day count each morning. I'll admit, I sometimes forget what day I'm on (1280 today). I post roll every day and when you get to a certain point, the specific number is not that exciting. It's the promise that matters.
Keep on improving things man. Always looking for new tools to yield.

I didn't give it much thought til now, and can see how difficult in can be to figure it up. I guess I'm
Legit the whole year, since I quit 5 days before the end of the year, easy math.

That counter on the front page is pretty cool! 436 days free and saved almost $900. Damn.
