Day 8 here. like so many others...kinda surreal after 30 years day in and day out. quit soooo many times before. this is the first cold turkey quit. very taxing physically and mentally. will this be different? don't know yet. i hope so. one hour at a time still. if i can just make it till 11, then 12, then 1 then the day will be over and it will get easier. my motivation this time is that I can either quit now or wait till I get sick and quit then. I wanna quit while I'm still lucky enough to be healthy. Wishing the rest of you luck!!!

Congratulations on your quit! It is going to be tough but you can do it.
On KTC we don't use the words hope or luck. Post your promise to not use nicotine for one day, quit all day long, post the next morning and repeat.
Read on on the site and get active!

I hear ya Spuds...thanks for the advice on the 2 words. Didn't realize it until you pointed it out. One of life's great truth's - hope is not a strategy. And if it took luck to quit would that mean we'd never drive by a convenience store again?
Let me change those parts of my intro....
will this be different? HELL YEAH
Wishing the rest of you to stay strong and stay quit!

I own a small business....6 employees. Nothing mind blowing. Just picking up and delivering documents around town. Mellow...low stress....fairly simple stuff....usually work about 5 hours a day. Since I quit 10 days ago: 1 car accident fortunately no injuries, 1 employee admitting he is an alcoholic and entering treatment, 1 employee quit and 1 employee father died. Can't keep up with all of the bullshit. WTF? If it weren't for posting roll today would have been my cave day.

There will always be stress and strife in our lives, but zero reason to poison ourselves over it. I am glad roll kept you quit, that is why I haven't missed once.

Thanks for the support here guys..I wasn't looking for any sympathy or wanting anyone to feel sorry for me. my problems are my problem. what's important is posting roll! It saved my quit! Anyone reading this who just quit or is thinking about quitting...post roll day 1. make the promise to yourself first then to others that you will will stay quit!
