Title: Day one or two
Post by: srans on February 20, 2013, 06:58:00 AM
A couple of days ago i walked outside and looked around. Call me crazy but everything looked different. It was day 4 of my quit and i noticed everything had a little more life to it. Hard to explain. I do know one thing. I was looking at the world for the first time in over 25 years without nicotine running through my veins. I had a moment of thought and couldn't hold back every tear. Its worth it.

This is perfect. Man, I dig reading posts like this. Welcome to the rest of your life. You are gonna have some bad times, so be prepared. However, the times like you described here are far more potent. Soak that in, and enjoy the trip. Everything you experience will be more significant from this point on. I call these things personal milestones, and I remember them all. That's what keeps me quit.

You may have already seen this somewhere, but read my post in this intro thread (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7899) from yesterday. That's my take on what you're experiencing.

Awesome! You will continue to have little moments like this. Keep banking them For the moment that you will need them to squelch a lie. Nicotine has never, and will never enhance anything. It only clouds the real experience. Meditate on this moment often, and look for new ones.

OUTFUCKINGSTANDING

This shit gets me going man. Absofuckinglutely brother. The world is different now. Find the tallest building and scream from the top "I QUIT". Its amazing when you see all you have left on the table from the years of being a slave. Good for you. And if there is anything worth crying about saving your fucking life is one. That and the final episode of MASH.

I'm going fishing today. I love fishing but there is a problem with todays trip. As far as I have ever known, fishing and dipping were the same thing. Is it possible to fish without a can in my back pocket? I don't know if I can cast as good without some dirt in my lip. I said all that, but I know that today is going to be the best fishing trip I've been on in a while, even if not one fish is caught. I guess you can say a new hobbie is starting today. I bet I take a look around and notice a lot more than I've noticed in a while. By the way It's a wonderful 78 degrees in Florida right now. No wind or rain expected. The sun is just gorgeous.

I was once in your position. Thinking it wasn't possible. Rest assured fishing and dipping are completely different animals.

One of them will add years to your life.

One of them will take away years.

One of them is an addiction, one a passion.


Set your mind straight before you go. Not only is it possible, you will do it. You've posted roll I assume and there is no question you will honor your promise.

Report back and let me know what the catch of the day was!

We all had those situations. Mine was hunting.... and fishing..... and driving...... and anything involving a tractor. :(

Anyway, you've got a great outlook on it. Enjoy the EXPERIENCE of the activity now that it's not overshadowed by a cloud of death.

Shoot me a PM and let me know what part of Florida you inhabit. If it's anywhere in the northern part, we might not be far apart. I'm thinking at 78, you must be in the lower half, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Day 15. I can't believe that bitch (nic bitch) held me captive for 25 years. She was cunning, manipulative and very well funded. Looking at it all now, 15 days after my quit, I just can't believe I didn't see this earlier in my life. How stupid am I? Well I can't continue to look backwards. It's time to go forward QLF.

Well said! We all feel like idiots when the lightbulb comes on concerning our addictions. We realize how much a dumbass slave we were and didn't see it.
But focus on today, you are quit and you will remain quit. All those addict behaviors are falling away. You really are a new man. Own it, revel in it.

I feel like a new person. Everything is different. I'm going out with the family and enjoying it more than ever. I'm actually working, fishing,riding, shoot, I'm doing everything without the krap. I thought 3 weeks ago that these things were impossible. I often ask myself why I dipped for so long??? I'm still having cravings, and sometimes they are pretty bad, but I continue to read posts from the vets which really help. I can not even begin to explain the appreciation I have for all the individuals on kill the can that help us that really need it. All I can say is thank you. I use to worship the nic bitch, NOW I HATE HER!!!!!!! She costed me thousands of dollars, stole precious life and continually lied to me. Worse than all that,,, I listened to her. Trust me when I say, If i can do it, ANYONE CAN!!!!

Hi and congrats on being quit today. One day at a time does accumulate. Todsy is day 72 for me, and I've used KTC 3 times today to help stop mild craves. Make sure you contact a couple of people here and have phone numbers, just saying....

Importance of posting. Yesterday I had the hardest test yet and came really close to a serious cave. Fishing with some friends and one whips out a cigar. At first this was no big deal,,,, it's not dip, right?? Well a couple minutes goes by and I get a smell or two come across the nose. Then out of no where, my friend asks if I want one, and he knows I quit just three weeks ago. He tells me that cigars are not the same as smoking or dipping. Wow the nic bitch is working hard. I say no and then out of no where I remember that I never posted that morning. I made no promise for the day yet. I could go on and on with the thoughts that went through my mind, but I did not cave. I know how important it is to post early now,,, I came so close to blowing it yesterday,,, but I didn't. Take that nic bitch.

It is week 4 and I continue to notice differences without the nicotine in my life. The way things look, feel, and taste are the big ones. So far it has been so worth it to quit. Really I can't think of one good reason to not have quit. I know the battle is still going on daily. I can't tell you how good it would feel to look back on one whole day and realize I didn't think of the stuff hardly. Last word: I took a smell of some grizzly the other day, it actually stunk to me. I actually remembered smelling that smell 25 plus years ago. I can't remember a lot of things 25 years ago, but that one I remembered. Today I QLF!

I share the same feeling. Although I haven't smelled dip because I haven't had a desire. Keep going strong. Quitting with you!

5 weeks. Everything going well. I'm still thinking about the stuff pretty much of the day. Sometimes the craves are pretty bad. Had my first dip dream. Unreal! I felt bad after I got up. I felt I should have called my quit buddies and tell them I caved. I swear I tasted it and everything. I'm still not sure it was a dream. It was such a relief to wake up and no that I didn't cave. I felt like a real douche during the dream. Today I QLF and look forward to tomorrow when I can wake up and do it again.

Those dreams can be vivid. I have only had 2 in 80 days but they were messed up. It took me 3 days to convince myself 100% that I didnt dip. One dream was that I picked up a rotten spent dip from the bottom of a garbage can in my garage and packed it in.

Your addict mind is making a last ditch effort to get its fix. You are too strong for the the typical day time tactics so she is hunting you down in your dreams. This too shall pass. You are winning Srans. REJOICE!!, but never let you guard down!

Very nice. The process is working.

As bad as I hate dip dreams, I'm honestly glad they stick around. They keep it real. They are very infrequent, but the last one I had made me realize just how miserable it would be to cave.

Quit on, sir.

I'm just sitting here thinking this morning how I felt when I started this life changing experience. I thought it was impossible to virtually do anything without a dip during or after the the event taking place. Fishing was out of the question,,,, not ever fishing again a {dip a must.} Any manual labor,,, not going to happen, {dip a must.} Exercise was out of the question {immediately following dip a must.} How was I going to eat when I can't have a dip right after {dip a must.}......

Day 44 and everything has new life. So far i'm loving the feeling of being quit. I've noticed the cravings are really dying down now. They hit me hard sometimes, but as long as I don't sit there and dwell on it they go away pretty quickly. My wife said something last night that kind of got me by suprise. We were talking and for the first time she said "You really Quit, didn't you?" I thought this already had been determined 44 days ago, but in reality she had doubt and I expected that. It was a good feeling because the smile on her face said a lot. She was really happy that I wasn't putting that shit in my mouth anymore. For her, my kids and myself I remain QLF!!

I just wanted to throw something else out there for all those that are new quiters and haven't thought of this or tried it. I went to GNC and got some mint oil and cinnamon oil. I made a few hundred mint and cinnamon toothpicks. It works wonders for the oral fixation and is not bad for you. I don't know about anyone else but, I get tired of chewing gum and plain toothpicks get old quick. Today I QLF with everyone here.

Weak 8 down. In a couple days I will reach the halfway point. I would usually say, something like that's hard to believe, but this time there is something different about me. I'm going to say damn straight this time. I had this since day one,, I don't know what I was thinking. Nicotine made me soft. One thing I noticed this week... I handled a couple very stressful situations without any trouble. As a matter of fact I didn't even think about nic until well after the situation ended and everything was calm. I feel I handled the situation better than ever. I'm finding out more and more each week how many lies the nic bitch had me believing. 'bang head' Today I QLF with each one of you non dipsters.

Day 50 in which is something to be proud of.. But in saying that i'm starting to get what all the vets are saying. 50 is in the middle of 49 and 51. I'm a little slow sometimes, you'll have to forgive me. I'ts actually just another day to promise to all of you that I won't use nicotine today. I'm still $4:30 cents away from day one. I got a little cocky the other day and a couple of vets set me straight.

Week 9 down,, and everything going good. I noticed something today that got my attention. I work in a tobacco free workplace. A lot of work places are going tobacco free which is great. I didn't like it a couple months ago, but It isn't so bad now. I of course was an excellent ninja dipper, so this was not an issue for me. Now smokers have a serious problem though. I work with a guy that smokes and has to find ways to dip out and leave the facility to smoke. Watching him is so painful. I felt sorry for him before I quit dipping because I could dip without being noticed and he had to go through this everyday. I watched him today and noticed how he was acting after about 7 hours and no way of leaving for his fix. He was acting like everyone on ktc acted during their first few days of quit. What got me though was when I thought about it. He goes through this 4 days a week, because it is several hours before he can get his fix. 4 DAYS A WEEK,,,, EVERYDAY!!!!!!! No way,,, not me,, i'll be damned!!!! I am so glad to be quit today.

Day 68,,
Have come a long ways in my quit. I no longer have the allusion that nicotine is or was, my lover, best friend. I am going through more and more of the day without thinking of the krap, but sometimes it still hits hard.
Thanks to ktc, I know all the lies, and I will never go back. It is so nice being free. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THAT PLACE AGAIN!!!!

Have been having a little trouble mentally lately. To a lot of my friends I'm known as someone that is always upbeat, playful and a good person to talk to. Not doing so well in those departments lately. I have actually shed a few tears over the last week or so, for really nothing. I've never been a person that is depressed, but I think I'm feeling that way. I know it's just another part of the quit that I must endure, but depression sucks! I grow weary of this emotional roller-coaster. One week feeling like your on top of the world, next week, you would think my dog has been shot. I know it gets better and I will endure, because I've got to many phone numbers of good people that will help me when I need it.

To everyone here,, Glad to be quit with you and thank you for all the support.

"One day I freel I'm ahead of the wheel, and the next its rolling over me.
I can get back on, I can get back on"

Some days your the pigeon and some days your the statute. But every day you must fight knowing that you are doing the right thing and that eventually the easy days will far our number the hard ones.

I'm 322 days quit and have had some tough days the last couple days. Not with big craves but just feeling blah. I just ride it out because I've done it before and know I will feel great for a long stretch. Easy stretches get longer and longer...ill tell you that

We fucked our shit up pretty good by literally posioning our body for years. Even though chew wasn't our friend it still was a part of our life, albeit a shitty one.

Going to take some time before we not have thoughts of something that was such a big part of our lives, but it can be done and will be done.

Even now I think to myself, "I used to do that shit?"

I try to think if it as a phase I went through. Like in college when I went out with those dudes and we would get drunk and give eachother....hmmmm nevermind.

Just stay QUIT!!!!

Srans you are one bad ass shark! Welcome to stage 4 of D.A.B.D.A fucking depression. Embrace the suck brother. Don't let the Bitch mess with your swagger.

Without the bad times the good times would not feel so good...

A wise man once said "Well Yes I am depressed, but at the same time I am really happy that something can make me feel this way. It's like, it makes me feel alive. You Know? It makes me feel human. The only way I can feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I am feeling is a beautiful sadness"

Keep doing what you do--keep reaching out to newbies--stay strong and active with your May brothers

Day 68,,  
Have come a long ways in my quit.  I no longer have the allusion that nicotine is or was, my lover, best friend.  I am going through more and more of the day without thinking of the krap, but sometimes it still hits hard.   
Thanks to ktc, I know all the lies,  and I will never go back.  It is so nice being free.  I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THAT PLACE AGAIN!!!!   

Have been having a little trouble mentally lately.  To a lot of my friends I'm known as someone that is always upbeat, playful and a good person to talk to.  Not doing so well in those departments lately.   I have actually shed a few tears over the last week or so,  for really nothing.  I've never been a person that is depressed, but I think I'm feeling that way.  I know it's just another part of the quit that I must endure, but depression sucks!  I grow weary of this emotional roller-coaster.  One week feeling like your on top of the world, next week, you would think my dog has been shot.  I know it gets better and I will endure, because I've got to many phone numbers of good people that will help me when I need it.   

To everyone here,,  Glad to be quit with you and thank you for all the support.

Some days your the pigeon and some days your the statute. But every day you must fight knowing that you are doing the right thing and that eventually the easy days will far our number the hard ones.

I'm 322 days quit and have had some tough days the last couple days. Not with big craves but just feeling blah. I just ride it out because I've done it before and know I will feel great for a long stretch. Easy stretches get longer and longer...ill tell you that

We fucked our shit up pretty good by literally posioning our body for years. Even though chew wasn't our friend it still was a part of our life, albeit a shitty one.

Going to take some time before we not have thoughts of something that was such a big part of our lives, but it can be done and will be done.

Even now I think to myself, "I used to do that shit?"

I try to think if it as a phase I went through. Like in college when I went out with those dudes and we would get drunk and give eachother....hmmmm nevermind.

Just stay QUIT!!!!

Great post srans,

Please realize that it is all part of the healing process. I think that what you are feeling is completely normal and very common at this stage. When I look back at my intro, I remember that I was feeling just like you. As diesel said, we poisoned ourselves for years and years. It is gonna take some time man. Allow yourself to feel this way sometimes. Accept the good days and bad days. Just dont string too many bad ones together.

If you are really feeling deeply down and not finding joy in anything you may need to consult a professional? I considered a psychologist or maybe getting on some meds but I never did either. Instead I just accepted the counseling that was available here on these threads and in live chat. Dont know how smart that was on my part but I survived and I am still here. Getting better one day at a time. Shoot me a PM if you need another number.

Allow yourself to feel this way sometimes. Accept the good days and bad days. Just dont string too many bad ones together.

If you are really feeling deeply down and not finding joy in anything you may need to consult a professional? I considered a psychologist or maybe getting on some meds but I never did either. Instead I just accepted the counseling that was available here on these threads and in live chat. Dont know how smart that was on my part but I survived and I am still here. Getting better one day at a time. Shoot me a PM if you need another number.
This is the brotherhood and support that makes KTC work! Keep on quitting 1 day at a time!!
What tangled Web we weave. I can't even get two simple tasks done today.... Wtf.. I've stated before that the first three days were the hardest. I take that back!!! Day 69, 70 and counting is the hardest.
I feel ya brother the mid to late 70's for me absolutely fucking brutal. Pissed off and irritable all the time. Cravings and all not bad just really really REALLY edgy. Thankful 81 today and maybe just a mentsl frame of mind but all is right in my world again. QLF today with you proudly.
It's gets much better, I promise YOU!
"When you're going through hell, keep going!"

Quit on Mister, you got this, ODAAT and NAFAR!! 'bang head'

I was looking through my intro and It became clear to me that maybe I needed to do an intro. Never did one.

On February 15, 71 days ago. I was looking for any information to help me get rid of this substance that had me bound for over 25 years. I don't know exactly what age I started. Over 25 years sounds better than almost 30, so that's what I'll go with.
I stumbled on ktc and started reading all the information and decided to give it a try. I figured if it didn't work I would slip away and no one would even notice.

I'm very leery of intranet sites, forums and such. I don't do face book, so letting people into my life like this was very new to me. That's why no intro yet. After much reading,, posting roll a few times and getting support indirectly I decided to start interacting a little. As you can see, I'm well out of my comfort zone, but it is just what the doctor ordered.

I truly thank everyone that makes this site possible. Without it I would be going to the store right now and wasting another $4.50. I would still be a slave with no hope.

Day 82.

Nebraskadad's intro caused me to do some thinking today. Maybe this will strengthen some quits,, it has mine.

When I started reading his thread and trying to help him,,, I thought, How can you keep dipping from your family? This seems so hard to me. I never even fathomed keeping it from my family. He's not the only one of course,, I have heard this from numerous dippers. How I ask is this possible? Stay with me now!

Then I thought,, I wonder which one is worse, keeping them in the dark and lying about it or like me,, not even caring when, where and who I dipped around.

I must have been the most embarrassing dad and husband ever. I would have spit bottles laying around the house when people would come over,, I didn't care. My girls would have to ask if I spit in there coke cans, because they were scared they would accidentally drink my shit. One more thing I think about, riding in the car with my family, I would spit right out the window. I would open the door and spit when necessary. I didn't care if they were in the car. How embarrassing it must have been to them! I apologized to them for this, but damn they had been living with it for so long it didn't even bother them. I was such an asshat. I know I
must move on,,, but this has really bothered me. I'm going to give them big hugs and kisses tonight for putting up with my shit.

I don't deserve them. I still don't know what I did to get blessed with the family I have. I won't live long enough to make up for all the krap I've subjected them to, but I'll try.

Not now, not ever,, for any reason. Glad to be quit with all of you.

For all the right reasons, I really enjoyed reading that. That helped me see the other side of it. When I was married, my wife caught me twice, I think, but I always played it off as an occasional stress reliever. My daughter never saw me dip. I did it when she wasn't around or after she went to bed. She doesn't know I'm quitting anything. Kinda neat to hear the other side of the story. If it makes you feel any better, this makes both of us asshats. We are all asshats. Stupid fucking asshats. Thanks for posting that.

srans....I was right there with you.....totally open with my family. And the thing that pisses me off more than anything (other than being a disgusting douchebag) is that I let that fucking snake nic bitch into my house and share the best times with me and my family. I always had a dip in (all outlined in my HOF speech) but Christmas, ball games, movies....you know the drill......the fucking bitch was with our family in every freaking picture for years....yup, there I was on christmas morning with cat turd in my mouth....fantastic

Hidden, in the open, it didn't matter. We WERE all ass hats.

WERE is the word I like to focus on now, because thinking back to me driving and telling my daughter "this is Daddys special gum" when she asked what was in my mouth and if she could have some. Makes me want to punch myself in the face.

Or knowing my son was getting older and not wanting to have him mention anything to mom, I would hand him my cell phone or ipod and tell him to play games so I could pretend to drink out of a root beer bottle (dark plastic made it hard to see brown sludge) while I was really spitting into it on the down pull, and not wanting him to pay attention. That's a winner move. Could have actually been talking to my 9 year old son. He has some cool shit to say and an interesting view of things. Oh well, Ill catch him next time he's 9. Fucking idiot.

WERE is the word now, as we albeit late , have changed our ways for the best.

We can use the past as reminder of where we WERE, but their ain't no use dwelling on it, because their isn't a mother fucking thing we can do to change it.

Before I read all these posts I used to think no one knows anything about me I am unique here no one knows what I have to deal with no one knows my guilt what Ihave been guilty of. When I read Diesels post about daddys special gum. I used to tell my boys (as I nearly wrecked the truck trying to hide it from them at first then just started doing it in from of them)...its daddys adult gum and no you cant have any. I just blew right past a teaching moment for them and me. If I dont want them to do it then why do I put this shit in my mouth. and the not listening to them I was rolling down the road trying to get as much poison into my system before spitting it out I didnt listen to them and see the world through their eyes. I was focused on my need to get my fix. It appears we are all the same just different parts of the country...ugh asshat here.
Thanks SRANS good post thanks for opening up...it is important that we not only see what it did to us but what we did to our "loved ones" ...

Then I thought,,  I wonder which one is worse,  keeping them in the dark and lying about it or like me,,  not even caring when, where and who I dipped around. 

I must have been the most embarrassing dad and husband ever.  I would have spit bottles laying around the house when people would come over,, I didn't care.  My girls would have to ask if I spit in there coke cans, because they were scared they would accidentally drink my shit.  One more thing I think about,   riding in the car with my family, I would spit right out the window.  I would open the door and spit when necessary. I didn't care if they were in the car.   How embarrassing it must have been to them!  I apologized to them for this, but damn they had been living with it for so long it didn't even bother them.  I was such an asshat.  I know I
must move on,,,  but this has really bothered me.  I'm going to give them big hugs and kisses tonight for putting up with my shit. 

I don't deserve them.  I still don't know what I did to get blessed with the family I have.  I won't live long enough to make up for all the krap I've subjected them to, but I'll try.      

Not now, not ever,, for any reason.  Glad to be quit with all of you.
For all the right reasons, I really enjoyed reading that. That helped me see the other side of it. When I was married, my wife caught me twice, I think, but I always played it off as an occasional stress reliever. My daughter never saw me dip. I did it when she wasn't around or after she went to bed. She doesn't know I'm quitting anything. Kinda neat to hear the other side of the story. If it makes you feel any better, this makes both of us asshats. We are all asshats. Stupid fucking asshats. Thanks for posting that.
srans....I was right there with you.....totally open with my family. And the thing that pisses me off more than anything (other than being a disgusting douchebag) is that I let that fucking snake nic bitch into my house and share the best times with me and my family. I always had a dip in (all outlined in my HOF speech) but Christmas, ball games, movies....you know the drill......the fucking bitch was with our family in every freaking picture for years....yup, there I was on christmas morning with cat turd in my mouth....fantastic
Hidden, in the open, it didn't matter. We WERE all ass hats.

WERE is the word I like to focus on now, because thinking back to me driving and telling my daughter "this is Daddys special gum" when she asked what was in my mouth and if she could have some. Makes me want to punch myself in the face.

Or knowing my son was getting older and not wanting to have him mention anything to mom, I would hand him my cell phone or ipod and tell him to play games so I could pretend to drink out of a root beer bottle (dark plastic made it hard to see brown sludge) while I was really spitting into it on the down pull, and not wanting him to pay attention. That's a winner move. Could have actually been talking to my 9 year old son. He has some cool shit to say and an interesting view of things. Oh well, Ill catch him next time he's 9. Fucking idiot.

WERE is the word now, as we albeit late , have changed our ways for the best.

We can use the past as reminder of where we WERE, but their ain't no use dwelling on it, because their isn't a mother fucking thing we can do to change it.
Deisel - you are a rock god of quit

booyah!!!!!!
Outstanding thread!! So glad to be quit with all of you. So good to be 'past tense' asshats! Looking back was one of the hardest things for me to get over. Living today is where I found my freedom and happiness.
Reminds me of what a fucking asshole I was. What a bunch of wasted time spent with a disgusting addiction.
I tell my wife all of the time, sorry I was a complete asshole for the entire 16 plus year we have been together. What a woman to put up with me and my habit.

srans,

the games we play. I am an addict..

Been a recovering drunk since before her and I were married. Her first question last night was "how to i know that is ALL you were doing? " Next question " have you been talking to your sponsor"
ugh, not really. She doesn't , she has to take my word for it. and based on this pattern my word if frigging useless. She didn't get sleep last night, surprise!!

I feel like crap, and yes,that through my actions I have destroyed her trust in me.
I know anything i say to her at this point will be met with skepticism or disbelief.

one day at a time thing, I am trying to focus a second,minute, hour at a time.

That's all you can do Nebraska.

Get small. Take it minute by minute, second by second if you have to.

Take comfort in knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it is beautiful.

The only way to get trust back is to be a man and keep your word.

Life's a kick in the balls sometimes, hell sometimes we are the ones kicking ourselves in the junk.

Time to stop walking around hunched over in pain....Straighten up, reach down into your drawers, grab your black and blue balls, re-rack them, and come at this shit the right way.

Dip dreams strengthen my quit. I use them to remind me of how crappy I would feel about myself if I made the choice to dip again after being quit. The guilt, shame, and remorse I would feel about myself and having to face the one's that have supported me through this quit. Scary as shit, but a great reminder of the life I can easily fall back into if I don't do this ODAAT.

Sure I bet you wish you had quit sooner but your pretty damn smart in my book, you did decide to quit. Hey man congrats and keep it going, remember there are a lot of us inspired by your quit.

Day 87,,, something I've been realizing this week. This last week I've been getting up, making coffee, getting ready for work or whatever I was planning. Leaving,, not a big deal right?

88 Days ago I would have got up, brushed teethe, PUT DIP IN, start brewing coffee and prepare to leave with whatever else I had to do. Before leaving PUT BIGGER DIP IN.

Now the thought of dip does not even enter my mind until well after the morning has started and when it does,, I'm like what ever. NO CRAVES JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. If none of that makes since, remember i'm half redneck, hard as hell to put thoughts to words.

The point is, one of the hardest craves that I had to overcome is wanting that first pinch or two or three in the mornings. Not even a problem anymore!!! When I realized it I almost shed a tear. You'll have to excuse me,, I'm an emotional guy when it comes to beating this shit. It had me bound, tied, and gagged. When I broke free I was all bruised up. Those bruises are healing. They may leave scars, but they will be reminders of where I came from. Never again for any reason. Glad to be quit with all of you.

I enjoy reading your posts for being half redneck as you say you sure speak with clarity....or the other option is I am half redneck too and we speak the same language. Your posts are always so meaningful to me I always get where you are coming from. Your use of metaphors is a great way to define what you are saying.

I got goose bumps reading this post today. I quit w you SRANS. I will never forget when you reached out to me I had just broken free and you reached out.
thanks

Really, really enjoyed reading that, you redneck asshat. I love that you put a dip in AFTER you brushed your teeth. That is a true asshat move (one duplicated by me because I needed my teeth to feel clean so I could dip.) WTF?

Honestly, what in the hell did we accomplish by even owning a toothbrush? It was for the coffee stains, right? :)

Proud of you, bro. Thirteen days to HOF!!

I found that post from 15 days into your quit and it is close to where many of us are in our quit. Thanks for your latest post. It gives me proof that it gets better.

Srans,

The comic relief I get from looking back at the ridiculous life I lived as a full on dip addict is a positive reenforcement in my quit. My morning ritual as a dipper was both similar and yet opposite of yours. I was pretty much a life-long Cope silver top dipper and was never into any of the wintergreen/mint flavored dips. Thus, nothing was better in the morning than the first Cope dip after coffee but before brushing teeth. See the brushing teeth part with minty toothpaste just wreaked that natural Cope flavor. Working from a home office made this entirely possible and led to many situations where I'd forget to brush teeth altogether and then walk out of the house at lunch time after having crammed half a can in my lip. Jeezus, the unfortunate people who might actually converse with me on those days must have though "What the hell has this guy been eating, freaking dead road kill skunk?" How sad and pathetic!

Like I have said before,, the poison had me bound tied and gagged. I couldn't go anywhere without it. I would run out of gas in my truck on the middle of the interstate with my family in it before you would have caught me without enough to get me through the ordeal. SAD, BUT TRUE!

All right,, time for some more half redneck intellect. Once again someone's post got me thinking. JOBS AND HOBBIES!

I remember early in my quit my two worst fears were driving and my hobby fishing. I had driving beat quick. It was something I had to do and after a week or so it was clear that the poison never helped. It didn't help me stay awake, drive straight, deal with traffic better, and it didn't help get the job done easier. The vehicle didn't need it,, gas, oil and water and I was on the move. It didn't run better with the spitter on the console. It didn't smell better. Like I said this was easy to beat,, This was something I do everyday.

Fishing was a different story. I was very concerned with fishing. My first fishing trip came a few weeks after my quit began. I was leary of fishing (lesson hear new quitters (make sure your ready when hobbies come). I was and am making this quit the most important thing in my life so fishing took a back seat for a little while. When I finally got out there it was an eye opener. I found out the poison didn't help me load and unload the boat. It didn't help me cast or catch. What it did for me was absolutely nothing. Fishing trip was over and I had one more hurdle. I didn't catch but a couple and my friends would ask what my catch was. Without blinking an eye I was still able to add a few pounds to my catch and maybe a fish or two. Embellishing the fishing trip was not a problem.

The point,, WE DON'T NEED IT NEVER DID!!! I QUIT WITH ALL OF YOU TODAY!!!

Facts are this..... life happens, shit happens. Most of which are completely out of our control. The one thing we do control is the ability to stay quit. To recognize and understand that no matter what hurdles or challenges we are faced with either at work or home, that poison in a can will not help. Post your promise every day and keep your word. It's not always easy but it is that simple.NAFAR!!

Day 122. Started my vacation yesterday. The Poison a non factor so far. Fishing, pool,drive,walking, running and morning coffee on the porch. Haven't gave the poison much thought at all.

I remember when I first started my quit that I wondered how I would make it everyday without the poison. Now I know that was the poison thinking for me. I have conquered a lot of stuff during the last 122 days, now I can add vacation to the list.

Been wondering how i'm going to post while i'm on vacation. It's hard to get internet in some location. NOT!!!!!! I got to many numbers from to many of my quitting buddies. Not a problem. I know better that using that lame excuse!! I quit with all of you today.

Another dark day. I was informed yesterday that another friend of mine has a tumor in his throat. This is the third time in less than a year that I've heard devastating news. My mother in law died less than a year ago,, lung cancer (smoker for years). A friend from church died around the same time, throat cancer (smoked for years). Both of these individuals were in their 70's.

Now i have a good friend who isn't even 50 that possibly has cancer in his throat. Your first question. Did he use?? Yes, but he quit years ago. As a matter of fact he was one of the ones that inspired my quit. He was one of the ones I couldn't wait to tell I finally had tossed the poison. Actually all these individuals in this post inspired my quit in one way or another.

I now have a questions that only one can answer?? Did I have one to many? Did I quit one day to late? My friend quit the poison years ago,, can he please have one more chance???

Another dark day. I was informed yesterday that another friend of mine has a tumor in his throat. This is the third time in less than a year that I've heard devastating news. My mother in law died less than a year ago,, lung cancer (smoker for years). A friend from church died around the same time, throat cancer (smoked for years). Both of these individuals were in their 70's.

Now i have a good friend who isn't even 50 that possibly has cancer in his throat. Your first question. Did he use?? Yes, but he quit years ago. As a matter of fact he was one of the ones that inspired my quit. He was one of the ones I couldn't wait to tell I finally had tossed the poison. Actually all these individuals in this post inspired my quit in one way or another.

I now have a questions that only one can answer?? Did I have one to many? Did I quit one day to late? My friend quit the poison years ago,, can he please have one more chance???
OMG SRANS are you ok? You are right there is only one that knows if we quit in time. All we can do is keep in mind that we are quit and live each day one day at a time. We can promise those who have left before us to live each day for them also. What is going on with your friend is not good what is good is that he has you in his corner...

Oh Shit! I'm Sorry to hear that! Those are questions that are hard to have to look at. When I first quit I constantly thought about going back to chew because I figured that I had already gone too far and even if I didn't have cancer now I would probably get it. But at the end of the day you are healthier today then you were 4 months ago! And knowing that today you do NOT have cancer is worth the battle. I hope no quitter ever gets cancer, Some people who never chew or smoke get cancer in the throat! You made a good choice when you quit. Can't worry about what MAY come in the future. But you can swing the odds more in your favor! And that you have done! I'm sorry about your friend and I am free if you need anything!

Srans I'll pray for you and your friend. That sucks.

That's something even in my youthful quit that I think about. It's possible that any one of us had one dip too many. But you know what? Regardless of whether he has cancer or not, I bet your friend is still glad he quit. His quality of life has been through the roof since he did.

My heart breaks for you guys. Know that we're here to support you in any way.

Well the update on my friend is not a good one. Tests have confirmed cancer in the throat. He has had a feeding tube inserted and the diagnosis is he has a year at best. This has been crushing news for family and friends.

His background was smoking and dipping. He quit years ago, but I don't know how many. I would guess 5, probably not even close. It don't matter, he smoked and dipped for years.

I told you of my mother in law who died of lung cancer and another family friend who died of throat cancer. Both of them smoked for years. Mother in law quit a few years before her death, but same thing applies. She smoked for years.

For those of you that have never read my signature line read it now. All of this is why it's there. Don't ever let the poison fool you. It causes cancer, bottom line. Don't tell me it don't, I will give you an ear full of truth. I will not sugar coat it. The poison will kill you, don't think it won't. It does only one thing well,,,,, TAKE!!!

Say it with me now,,,,,,, I HATE THE POISON!! Glat to be quit with all of you poison haters.

A good hatred for UST and the products they sell will help you often in your quit. I despise everything about them all... It is indeed and evil weed.

day 143.

We've had a couple days now with out someone coming on and admitting a cave. I know the day is not over, but so far so good.

I say that to say this. When I came to ktc I had already tried on my own several times to quit without success. I believe most come here because of the same reason. This addiction is no joke! It must be taken seriously or it will not take you serious. I read, learned and payed attention. I knew I didn't know how to quit. I had already proven that over and over.

When I joined I reeeeeellly waaannntted to QUIT. I stumbled onto ktc by divine intervention, luck whatever you want to call it. Now there are a lot of things I've learned with ktc. This is one I want to share that some may need to really pay attention to and learn.

POST ROLL AND KEEP YOUR WORD!!

You want to STAY QUIT for today, then follow this rule. Enough excuses!!! Enough letting the poison get back in!!!! Enough!!!!! The poison isn't going to just give you your life back,,, You have to TAKE IT!!!! Quit on brothers and sisters.

Day +1

I often think of something I seen early in my quit. It's a short story, but it really is something that stuck with me after I seen it. I believe it will help everyone's quit today that reads it.

I had just got done watching my girls volleyball game. Real good game. Went the distance, which took about 2 hours, or maybe more. I was real early in my quit and having a rough time with craves and everything else we have to deal with early in our quits.

As I walked out I was in back of an elderly couple (70's, possibibly 80's). I hear them bickering back and forth and then I couldn't believe what I heard. The woman stated you'll be to the truck fast enough so you can get your dip. Then I heard the elderly man state I sat there for over two hours,,, I need a dip.

I began to wonder who he was watching at the game. Possibly his grand-daughter would be my best guess. Then I thought. what lucky grand-daughter had this man as her grand-dad. I wondered how much of the game he enjoyed before the poison got his attention off of it and his granddaughter. It was apparent that at the end of the game he didn't care what the score was, how good his grand-daughter played. He apparently didn't care if his wife enjoyed the game. He didn't care about anything or anyone at the moment. He only cared about on thing. His one true love,, the POISON. HOW SAD!!! Lets stay quit today. Lets enjoy life and what it has to offer. Screw the poison!!!!

Good read for me this morning. I haven't had too hard of a time lately but today has started out rough. I feel like I'm back at day one suddenly! I have and know my tools, so I am much better equipped then I was on day one, But it's good to reflect on what we went through in the beginning, I think I'm entering the Funk I've been warned about!

That is awesome- and spot on. I think about how many times I ended social visits earlier than what my wife wanted because I needed to get home to my bitch. Loving the new found freedom.

Good read SRANS, I can remember my sons in full jabber in the back seat of my truck talking to me and I had checked out waiting for the poison to hit my veins n I could get my cells to stop screaming at me to poison up before we really start screaming.

Day 163.

I'm loving my new life. To all that are taking it one day at a time and heading for that first 100. No this,, it is so worth it! At day 163 things have really taken a change for me. There is so many things different without the poison in my life.

My job has it's moments. My job can go from everything being great to real bad in an instant. Monday something happened which took all day to clean up. It was a very stressful situation. I handled it better than ever. The problem arose and the outcome was far from reach.

I handled it better than ever. I made calls and made things happen. At he end of the day when things were said and done I was amazed. 164 days ago I would have handled it, but my stress level would have been ridiculous. I'm glad this didn't happen early in my quit because my anxiety would have went through the roof.

It is one thing for people to tell you that 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problem. It is another to start getting the benefits of not having the second problem.

As the days keep going up things keep getting better and better.

Stay quit,, you won't be sorry!!!

Thanks for the post. You have been a huge motivator for me in my quit and I am glad you are reaping some rewards! Funny how I had a rough week at work. Only 35 days quit, but what I found was that not having to find a time to sneak a dip literally eliminated 1 of my problems. I was able to focus on the issue at hand and devote some time to solving it to the best of my abilities. The issue got resolved and now I can focus on the weekend and staying quit. Proud to be quit with you brother!

Day 171. Seriously,, did I just say day 171. Wow!! I still can't believe it sometimes when I see the number of days i'm stacking. On February 14th I had just had a rough week. I was on my third day of allowing myself 2 dips a day and that was about to end. I logged on to find a magic cure. A cure that would alleviate the withdraws I was going through everyday. After all, I worked hard that week and I wasn't going to go through the weekend feeling like I just did for the last three days. It was time to relax.

Me and the poison were about to get it on during the weekend. Screw the 2 dips a day. I was hating life. I was either going to find a magic cure or dip like an addict that hadn't had his proper fix all week.

When I found ktc and started to read I found out how quitting is done. You trash your stash, post roll, and keep your word. Wake up everyday and do the same exact thing. I had no idea that as soon as you trash your stash your free. As soon as you post roll freedom is yours. No more do you belong to the poison. Day 1 or 171, we are free ladies and gents. No more slavery to a weed. Sure It was rough at first, but freedom is worth the withdraws. We are worth everything we have to go through to beat this addiction. We were not meant to be lead around by a can of poison. If you haven't quit,, Do it,, you won't be sorry! Sunday is such a good day to be free. Why?? Because it's TODAY!!!

Day 171.  Seriously,,  did I just say day 171.  Wow!!  I still can't believe it sometimes when I see the number of days i'm stacking.  On February 14th I had just had a rough week.  I was on my third day of allowing myself 2 dips a day and that was about to end.  I logged on to find a magic cure.  A cure that would alleviate the withdraws I was going through everyday.  After all, I worked hard that week and I wasn't going to go through the weekend feeling like I just did for the last three days.  It was time to relax. 

Me and the poison were about to get it on during the weekend.  Screw the 2 dips a day.  I was hating life.  I was either going to find a magic cure or dip like an addict that hadn't had his proper fix all week.    

When I found ktc and started to read I found out how quitting is done.  You trash your stash, post roll, and keep your word.  Wake up everyday and do the same exact thing.  I had no idea that as soon as you trash your stash your free.  As soon as you post roll freedom is yours.  No more do you belong to the poison.  Day 1 or 171, we are free ladies and gents.  No more slavery to a weed.  Sure It was rough at first, but freedom is worth the withdraws.  We are worth everything we have to go through to beat this addiction.  We were not meant to be lead around by a can of poison.  If you haven't quit,,  Do it,, you won't be sorry!  Sunday is such a good day to be free.  Why??   Because it's TODAY!!!
couldn't agree with you more.. Congrats on your freedom! The best way to enjoy it is one day at a time.. quit with you today.. peace
Freedom from an evil nasty weed is worth every bit of fight! I just got fired up for my quit today! Good stuff.
Press on SRANS Mr 172 press on keep leading the pack bro...I always dig your posts don't stop coming here keep doing what you are doing.

Now I ask..... Why would Todd feel like he was was a magnet to trauma???? I bet I know.... Something in his life is causing constant Trauma.....

This begs the question..... What would cause constant trauma in such a great guy's life??? I know... I know.... A dodge!!!!! Yea bet the vehicle in that avatar is the inspiration for his screen name.

Like erussell, I'm currently in the middle of a yoga and meditation session trying to get my blood pressure down after reading jakes last post.

The Amish buggy part is true. I avoid those like the plague. The wind shear off one of those would spell trouble.

But my car does run on carrot juice. FYI.

Posted on Jakes thread, but thought it was fitting here as well. Enjoy Trauma,

I also had another thought for Trauma, do dodge owners just dip less when they can't make it to the store or do you stock up for when the truck is down (being most of the time I suppose)? And if you just stocked up did that not also help dictate the brand as some dry out faster? I can't imagine the freedom if you are a dodge driver, it must be wonderful to be quit with all those nuances to work around from transportation failure. Erussell 108

So true! It would probably be easy to be quit if you own a dodge. It's not like you can ever make it to the store if the truck you own is always broke down. On the other hand.... You have to be in a permanent bad mood owning a Dodge, So like I have said before... It is a permanent trigger. Poor Trauma! He is damned either way!

I had such a pretty, concise, meaningful, down to earth and bright intro. Now look,, I have mention of a dodge. Does anyone want to throw their favorite College football team on here as well?? Me oh my..... By the way,, the Nissan has proven itself time and time again. I think they make dodge and Chevy at the same car factory up in north Dakota..... I would meet ya'll all for lunch but i would have to drive most of the way with you alls broke down, gas guzzling, tire eating trucks,, oh did i mention gas guzzling. Here is what a dodge and chevy owner eventually looks like,, 'exercise' I'm done now!!! I feel much better.

I would meet ya'll all for lunch but i would have to drive most of the way with you alls broke down, gas guzzling, tire eating trucks,, oh did i mention gas guzzling. Here is what a dodge and chevy owner eventually looks like,, 'exercise' I'm done now!!! I feel much better.
Shit we couldn't ride with you..... that toy truck wouldn't fit more then 2 people. I picture you riding around flintstone style using your feet for power. Cause a Nissan sure don't have any. A dodge has great power till you buy it.... then its a life lesson in mechanics. Chevy well..... they never let you down

Day 183,, When I first came to ktc I was not a intranet kind of guy. Don't look for me on face book I am not and will not be there. My kids have a second home there, but not me. I've never been one to make friends with people I have never met in person and believed the intranet was a place to waste valuable time that I needed to mow, wash, fish, and the list goes on.

I was desperate when I got on the intranet and found KTC. I really wanted to quit this poison and I had no resources. I new I needed help so i found ktc and decided to give it a try. I was a silent poster in the beginning. You can look through my intro and you will see that my first post was after 4 day quit. Didn't give much information even with that. After time others began reaching out to me and it really helped. When I added some ktc brothers in my arsenal things changed. I was in the fight alone, but all the sudden I had help.

Now I can't even make it a half day without posting roll and my nissan truck gets picked on. It didn't do anything to deserve it. This quit belongs to me,, not my poor truck.

I'm saying all that to say this. Step out of your comfort zones when it comes to ktc. There is some good people here that can help you. This is not like any other site you will ever find. This site has one goal in mind. Helping you QUIT AND REMAIN QUIT!!!!

Used to drive a little Nissan mini pickup at the Christmas tree lot 25 years ago, called it the rice burner, and me and my buddy could pick it up and move it across the lot. Titan is a little bigger than the pickup I think of when someone says the drive a Nissan truck lol.

Day 199. I read through my intro today. Wow!! I've come so far. I read my intro and it's like reading an old love letter you wrote. I've read a lot of intros and mine seems so bland compared to some.

A few things I noticed after reading it. I didn't write anything that memorable or intellectual.

What the intro did show was a addict that was fighting this addiction with determination. It showed a person that began this journey as one person and how that person is still changing. It showed a person that came here for one reason and is still here for that same reason.

I'm not done with this intro yet,, it's still got a lot of work. I might as well stay for another 100. I got nothing more important than this intro and quit.

One great thing about this intro!!! One thing that really makes this intro so good to me. The one thing that makes me happy and makes it all so worth it. The last few words on it. The words that put a tear in my eye as I write.

I'M STILL QUIT!!!! 199 DAYS OF FREEDOM!!!!

That my friend speaks volumes they may not be recorded in your thread but in the threads of others. I am proud to call you my friend and mentor. QLF SRANS quit with you today brother.

+1 what traumagnet said, you do pour out yourself into other guys here like me thankyou muchly for that!  Congrats on almost 200 days!! Awesome work!! The first intro I don't think needs to be memorable or intellectual, everybody will get it most if it comes from the heart  your intro,  all your posts, always do.

Srans - welcome to the second floor! I will echo a lot if the other voices - you have helped me and many others thru your truthful and inspirational messages. I'm a few days ahead of you, but life keeps getting better without nicotine! Thank you for being a voice of reason and for always saying the right thing at the right time. Floor 2 is a party floor, but I bet 3 will be even better-- celebrate freedom today!

First and formost,, thanks for everyone's kind words yesterday. I'm glad i'm helping,, I really enjoy it. Just know that I've received a lot of help from all of you as well. The brotherhood here is like no other.. We're in this fight together. I'm just a squirrel in ktc world. lol

Day 200. Wow!! I'm really stoked today. It's amazing how fast the second 100 flew by. That was to quick. I'm ready for time to slow down now. I'm ready to enjoy my freedom. Any other mile stones will get here when they get here.

I'm going to take some advice from apple on his intro. How he's just enjoying where he's at. That's me from now on. Rest assured I'll be hanging around on intros for a while. That's part of how I enjoy being quit. I really like to see other individuals beat this addiction. The poison stole so much from me and I love stealing back. Each person we save takes 1000's of dollars away from them and perhaps saves a life. THAT I ENJOY!!

To end this I'll just say stay quit!!!! I'ts so worth it. The door I've opened now is unbelievable. Quit with all you today.

Day 200. Wow!! I'm really stoked today. It's amazing how fast the second 100 flew by. That was to quick. I'm ready for time to slow down now. I'm ready to enjoy my freedom. Any other mile stones will get here when they get here.

I'm going to take some advice from apple on his intro. How he's just enjoying where he's at. That's me from now on. Rest assured I'll be hanging around on intros for a while. That's part of how I enjoy being quit. I really like to see other individuals beat this addiction. The poison stole so much from me and I love stealing back. Each person we save takes 1000's of dollars away from them and perhaps saves a life. THAT I ENJOY!!

To end this I'll just say stay quit!!!! I'ts so worth it. The door I've opened now is unbelievable. Quit with all you today.
congrats on your 2nd floor! It just gets better, and better. Keep the tooth picks  gum handy for as long as you want. Almost 4th floor  I ALWAYS have gum in my pocket, but I have noticed that I just don't reach for it as often. sometimes all day without 1 piece. enjoy your freedom  keep that strong quit going, proud of you. peace

I'm on day 209 and my life has changed dramatically. I just took my blood pressure the other day.

123/83,,,, No medication... 7 months ago I was contemplating high blood pressure medication. I thought quitting was impossible. I was contemplating using other methods to quit. All I had was hope, try and maybe tomorrow......

Thank you ktc. Thank you to everyone that was here when I came here. If it were not for all these guys and gals I would probably be on medication right now. I would probably be smoking one of them crack pipes with nocotine in it. I might be using one of them arm patches with the poison slipping in through my weak shell of a man. I would still be feeling like my life didn't belong to me. I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF ME, THE POISON DID!!!

Here I learned that I could be strong,, I just had to believe it. I learned that the poison did not have to control my life. I LEARNED THAT I COULD CONTROL MY ADDICTION!!

The way I learned this was listening to vets like Diesel. My addiction was in control and I don't think someone holding my hand and patting me on the back would have helped much. The addiction had me bound tied and gagged. Tough love is what I needed. I needed someone strong to break that barrier. I was controlled by my addiction for 25 plus years. I needed to be woken up and dragged out. Thanks Deisel! Thanks to all the vest here that don't mind telling me the truth!!!!! End of rant...

srans,
I love to be the one to tell you this but...your Intro thread wreaks of QUIT!

You have served as an inspiration to me and I am certain that is was because of those vets doing the same and you following their example. I can always count on you trolling the intro threads, and monitoring but being quick to comment when necessary with sound advice or encouraging words.

I am proud to quit with you today, we can argue about tomorrow when it comes; but today I quit with you. we are separated by 150 days but today is a plus one for each.

Great job on your quit.  29 days is a great start.  Your post got me thinking of all them times my wife bought my poison for me. 

All the times she had to go through the poison isle with a buggy full of groceries.  How embarrassing for her it must have been for her to tell the clerk she needed 5 cans of filthy disgusting poison for her addicted slave driven husband.  I have a lot of making up to do.  There isn't enough time in this lifetime to make up for all the crap she's endured for me. Quit on my friend.
Srans, there may not seem like enough time to make up for all the crap she's endured for you, but my prayer for you today is that she's already forgiven you * there's no making up needed. That your quit  the strength you show in that today is more than enough  all that's wanted/needed. Oh and that when your wife forgives you, that you feel it  know that all is well. You can't change the past my friend, but you're doing a damn fine job of today!
Thought I'd better add this to your thread too. Proud to be quit with you today!

An intro like yours needs to be bumped up to the top so some newbies can see what life free of nicotine can really be like!!!

Why,, thank you fellows for the kind words. Lot of things happened the last couple weeks on the site. Sometimes I just don't get people at all. Sometimes the caves still get to me, especially when It's someone I've communicated with and feel I have a bond with.

*I do get when a 20 year old thinks they are invincible and a cigar is ok? I was there.
*I do get newbies thinking that the patch/alternatives will help them quit? I was there.
*I do get when a newbie thinks it's ok to miss roll every now and then. I was there!
*I do get how this poison keeps you bound tied and gagged for years! I was there.
*I do get a cave early in a quit! I have been there.

Now lets talk about the things that have me in COMPLETE disarray/awe/dumbfounded!

How in the heck do you remain bound gagged and tied for years? Make it over 100 plus days. Have a moment of weakness, not call a brother or use the tools of this site and cave? Can't tell you! Never been there.

How does a person post roll for days (over 100 to be close) after you cave without coming clean. I can't tell you! Never been there. (not trying to open another can of worms,, just stating facts).

Now let me tell you how to make it 283 days. I'm living it!

*Post roll first thing in your morning, whenever that may be.

*Keep your word for the entire day. There is no other alternative here. You post roll,, you keep your WORD! THIS IS FINAL/NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION/ UNDEBATABLE. This alone should keep you quit for a day. HONOR YOUR WORD!

*Build up accountability with people in your own group and others. Give your number out to others. Call each other/text. Schedule a meet.

*Read, read and read. Learn your enemy,, it knows you.

*If you can't drink and not put the poison in pie hole,, I recommend you quit that to. Just a thought!!

283 days of quit. Its worth it. Life is so much better without the poison. I love my new life. My worst day without the poison is better than my best day with it.

How does a person post roll for days (over 100 to be close) after you cave without coming clean. I can't tell you! Never been there. (not trying to open another can of worms,, just stating facts).

Now let me tell you how to make it 283 days. I'm living it!

*Post roll first thing in your morning, whenever that may be.

*Keep your word for the entire day. There is no other alternative here. You post roll,, you keep your WORD! THIS IS FINAL/NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION/ UNDEBATABLE. This alone should keep you quit for a day. HONOR YOUR WORD!

*Build up accountability with people in your own group and others. Give your number out to others. Call each other/text. Schedule a meet.

*Read, read and read. Learn your enemy,, it knows you.

*If you can't drink and not put the poison in pie hole,, I recommend you quit that to. Just a thought!!

283 days of quit. Its worth it. Life is so much better without the poison. I love my new life. My worst day without the poison is better than my best day with it.
You set the bar and I follow trying to reach it. Follow srans lead people. Freedom awaits.  Damn fine quitter.

Why,, thank you fellows for the kind words. Lot of things happened the last couple weeks on the site. Sometimes I just don't get people at all. Sometimes the caves still get to me, especially when It's someone I've communicated with and feel I have a bond with.

*I do get when a 20 year old thinks they are invincible and a cigar is ok? I was there.
*I do get newbies thinking that the patch/alternatives will help them quit? I was there.
*I do get when a newbie thinks it's ok to miss roll every now and then. I was there!
*I do get how this poison keeps you bound tied and gagged for years! I was there.
*I do get a cave early in a quit! I have been there.

Well said srans! I do not get the post 100 days caves either. Yes I still get bad craves, but they are nothing compared to the hell of the first few months, and anyone who gets close to 100 days has the tools to defeat the craves, suck, and funks. The key is to keep those tools sharp. If one strings together a few weeks of easy quitting, and one sits on their porch admiring their quit a bit too long, then the tools we used to QLF with can get rusty, dull, and forgotten... Bare minimum is to stay 100% posting roll, but it is good to stay involved on the intro boards so as to remain actively aware of what it is like the first few days/weeks. I can understand the craves but not the caves. We are all addicts here and always will be, and that is why we must all own our quits everyday no matter how long ago day 1 was.

I really hate the poison today.

Today you need to stand in front of a mirror. Take a good look at what you see. You see a man that is free, that is himself, that owns his time, his actions, and his life. A man that helps others seek the freedom also, and that is accountable to a brotherhood that wins one day at a time.

Not so long ago, that reflection was nothing but a bunch of cans. No freedom. No pride. No ownership. Just a selfish, self serving bunch of cans that were slowly, but surely killing you.

Congratulations on hitting 300. See you at 301 tomorrow. Hope you don't mind that I plagiarized the mirror idea... Seemed appropriate today!

Srans,

Sorry I missed it yesterday but congrats on 300. You were really instrumental for me those first few days which have been the hardest so far. You said something to me that I think is huge. You said, "I like the you of today better than I liked the you of yesterday." Keep encouraging brand new quitters--you have a gift I believe.

-Eric

Sorry about the late response everyone. I really appreciate all of you that noticed the 300 mark. Totally caught me off guard,, just kidding. The 3rd floor is really nice. I'm really liking the view lots and lots.

I still see them chains off in the distance. They are getting farther and farther away, but maybe I need to be able to see them. Maybe I need to keep my eye on where I came from.

The new me is still being built. I'm working hard on it everyday. I'm learning the new me is a lot happier, but the new me is far from perfect. I'm learning that I still have a very low tolerance for people that don't see things like I do. I'm pretty much right about everything, how come people just don't see that?!?! Lol.

I love my new life ,,, Thanks KTC. No doubt I would be knuckle deep in a can of the filthy disgusting poison right now if the people here only cared for themselves.

From my vantage point you are a quit master, and your reaching out to new quitters also gives inspiration and calm deep hatred for the poison to many more. Quit on!

Haven't hit the intro in a while. Haven't had any thing to add lately. If you've read got 2 intro today you can add my name to it. I'm feeling the same.

Now for the news. I have to brag about something. Once a year i run what is called fitness challenge. It is 2 1/2 miles with 6 stations to stop off and complete. Each station has 1 or two obstacles to complete, pushups, pull ups and so forth. This course can be easy or it can be hard. Easy if you want to take your time. Walk, run, jog or just make it your early morning stroll through the park. There is even a nice little lake off the edge of the course to stop and watch the ducks. I believe I seen cbird, evil one, coach and a few other quitters out there feeding those ducks. I was running by pretty quick, so I may be mistaken.

The course can also be difficult if you want to push yourself and see just how fast you can complete it. It is timed and several people compete every year. The record for this course is 17 30. Trust me when I say 17 30 is amazing. I know the guy that did this and he's one bad mutha. Looks like diesel. Well, that picture diesel keeps putting up anyways. He says he looks like that,, who am I to question?

Now, usually I run this course because, yes that's it, because. As i checked in yesterday my blood pressure was 123/73. A year ago it was 140/90. Note blood pressure had dropped drastically since a year of quit.

Usually hate it when i get out there. NOT this year! This year i came prepared. I've been running and getting my fitness level up since last July. This year I ran it like I owned it. I was the first in my group. I ran it in 21.12. I'm 45 years old and showed several 20 to 30 year olds how it's done. I'm stoked! One interesting fact. The average on this course for younger generation is higher. It depends on age bracket. The funny thing is the older you get the average is lower,, go figure. The average for my age is 24 minutes.

I actually cried all the way home yesterday. What a difference 1 year can make. I shed a tear as I write this. Believe me when I say 1 year ago this man was owned and broken. I didn't know which way to turn. All you quitters out there. I owe my new and better life to you. I don't understand why quitting has caused so much of a difference in my life. I never imagined that quitting would have this much of an impact on me. I'm 6 days from one year of quit, but today is just as important to me as 6 days from now. 359 days of freedom.

Last july I decided it was time to work on other areas of my life. I've used quitting as a starting point to change my life. It's up to you how you spend the day. Me,, I'm living it, join me brothers.

'chew2'

isn't it amazing the confidence that comes with being quit (and also the health benefit too as my BP drastically dropped from 160/100 to 125/85 the last time I was at the doctor).

though I think I was sitting there feeding the ducks and taking a stroll.... 'crackup'

great job

Last july I decided it was time to work on other areas of my life.  I've used quitting as a starting point to change my life.  It's up to you how you spend the day.  Me,, I'm living it, join me brothers.
Congrats, Srans! Living life is so much better than wearing it, with you every damn day!

isn't it amazing the confidence that comes with being quit (and also the health benefit too as my BP drastically dropped from 160/100 to 125/85 the last time I was at the doctor).

though I think I was sitting there feeding the ducks and taking a stroll.... 'crackup'

great job
Huge kudos brother! I read this as I am working out, and I hear you on the whole quit confidence as springboard for self improvement. Quit with you all day.

Haven't hit the intro in a while.  Haven't had any thing to add lately.  If you've read got 2 intro today you can add my name to it.  I'm feeling the same. 

Now for the news.  I have to brag about something.  Once a year i run what is called  fitness challenge.  This course can be easy or it can be hard.  Easy if you want to take your time.  Walk, run, jog or just make it your early morning stroll through the park.  There is even a nice little lake off the edge of the course to stop and watch the ducks.  I believe I seen cbird, evil one, coach and a few other quitters out there feeding those ducks.  I was running by pretty quick, so I may be mistaken.   

The course can also be difficult if you want to push yourself and see just how fast you can complete it.  It is timed and several people compete every year.  The record for this course is 17 30.   Trust me when I say 17 30 is amazing.  I know the guy that did this and he's one bad mutha.  Looks like diesel.  Well, that picture diesel keeps putting up anyways.  He says he looks like that,,  who am I to question?       

Now, usually I run this course because, yes that's it, because.  As i checked in yesterday my blood pressure was 123/73.  A year ago it was 140/90.  Note blood pressure had dropped drastically since a year of quit.

Today 2 of the men that contributed mightily to my success posted similar messages... Talking about the nirvana that they now live. Srans, you are one of the guys that kept me engaged and accountable. Often at times when I wasn't even sure what day it was. Thank you for all that you do. But most of all congratulations in reaching greatness. In the beginning it is easy to believe that things are so bleak that they will never get better. All just another lie created by nicotine!!! Things don't just get better... They get great. Thank you!

Joining ktc was for many of us a decision made after lurking around and finally deciding... Man, I need someone that has been in my shoes to grab me and pull me along through crazy fog, rage, haze... And tell me that life is not going to suck. Because for a while, it sucks. It sucks so badly that all that you really do for a while is focus on the suck and it is almost like one if those vortexes in the ocean spiraling down. We come to ktc looking for someone with a life vest and an action plan to pull us out of that spiral of doom.

So we come here, we post, we get support, and we push through it (if we are men/women of our word.) what we don't expect initially is the brotherhood. The building of friendships with others that have walked in our shoes or are walking in our shoes. We don't expect to find mentors, leaders, and some of the best and most honorable people that you encounter in life. That is what ktc offers if you are willing to submit and take it all in.

Congratulations on 365 today Srans. You've passed out a hell of a lot of life vests. You've been a man of your word. You are the model of integrity and brotherhood. And you are a lifelong friend and devoted leader. Today is the first of what are many big milestones, one day at a time. A year ago you were a mess, a wreck. Today you can climb to the top of that mountain and really see the beauty of the world.

Congratulations, and thank you.

Congratulations on 365 today Srans. You've passed out a hell of a lot of life vests. You've been a man of your word. You are the model of integrity and brotherhood. And you are a lifelong friend and devoted leader. Today is the first of what are many big milestones, one day at a time. A year ago you were a mess, a wreck. Today you can climb to the top of that mountain and really see the beauty of the world.

Congratulations, and thank you.
Congratulations on 1 year of freedom srans! You have been a leader on this site and have brought many (including me) thru the tunnel of darkness towards the light. I couldn't be more happy for you today. I am proud to call you a friend and will happily quit with you on any day ending in Y. Let's keep it rolling! Quit on!

Congrats srans! You've been an inspiration to all of us, and at times to me personally. I join you today in being quit and continuing to take our lives back.

Haven't hit the intro in a while.  Haven't had any thing to add lately.  If you've read got 2 intro today you can add my name to it.  I'm feeling the same. 

Now for the news.  I have to brag about something.  Once a year i run what is called  fitness challenge.  This course can be easy or it can be hard.  Easy if you want to take your time.  Walk, run, jog or just make it your early morning stroll through the park.  There is even a nice little lake off the edge of the course to stop and watch the ducks.  I believe I seen cbird, evil one, coach and a few other quitters out there feeding those ducks.  I was running by pretty quick, so I may be mistaken.   

The course can also be difficult if you want to push yourself and see just how fast you can complete it.  It is timed and several people compete every year.  The record for this course is 17 30.   Trust me when I say 17 30 is amazing.  I know the guy that did this and he's one bad mutha.  Looks like diesel.  Well, that picture diesel keeps putting up anyways.  He says he looks like that,,  who am I to question?       

Now, usually I run this course because, yes that's it, because.  As i checked in yesterday my blood pressure was 123/73.  A year ago it was 140/90.  Note blood pressure had dropped drastically since a year of quit. 

Usually hate it when i get out there.  NOT this year!  This year i came prepared.  I've been running and getting my fitness level up since last July.  This year I ran it like I owned it.  I was the first in my group.  I ran it in 21.12.  I'm 45 years old and showed several 20 to 30 year olds how it's done.  I'm stoked!  One interesting fact.  The average on this course for younger generation is higher.  It depends on age bracket.  The funny thing is the older you get the average is lower,, go figure.  The average for my age is 24 minutes.   

I actually cried all the way home yesterday.  What a difference 1 year can make.  I shed a tear as I write this.  Believe me when I say 1 year ago this man was owned and broken.  I didn't know which way to turn.  All you quitters out there.  I owe my new and better life to you.  I don't understand why quitting has caused so much of a difference in my life.  I never imagined that quitting would have this much of an impact on me.  I'm 6 days from one year of quit, but today is just as important to me as 6 days from now.  359 days of freedom.    

Last july I decided it was time to work on other areas of my life.  I've used quitting as a starting point to change my life.  It's up to you how you spend the day.  Me,, I'm living it, join me brothers.
Congrats, Srans! Living life is so much better than wearing it, with you every damn day!
'chew2'

isn't it amazing the confidence that comes with being quit (and also the health benefit too as my BP drastically dropped from 160/100 to 125/85 the last time I was at the doctor).

though I think I was sitting there feeding the ducks and taking a stroll.... 'crackup'

great job
Huge kudos brother! I read this as I am working out, and I hear you on the whole quit confidence as springboard for self improvement. Quit with you all day.
Nice! Really great to read this update this morning and about the doors you continue to kick thru on this quit ride. You've been an inspiration to me and to many on this site. I'm proud to be quit with you today my friend! Quit on!!!
Stop it! Now you got me bawling. Beautiful stuff Srans. 'drool' 'drool' 'drool'
Good deal! Its good to see a man stay committed to his quit and also get the rest of his health in order. I'm glad you kicked some ass bro. Its inspiring to watch people win multiple victories in life.
Today 2 of the men that contributed mightily to my success posted similar messages... Talking about the nirvana that they now live. Srans, you are one of the guys that kept me engaged and accountable. Often at times when I wasn't even sure what day it was. Thank you for all that you do. But most of all congratulations in reaching greatness. In the beginning it is easy to believe that things are so bleak that they will never get better. All just another lie created by nicotine!!! Things don't just get better... They get great. Thank you!
Proud of you SRANS you are applying all of the principles that you have mastered in your quit and moved them over to other aspects of your life...QLF bro always here.

Great job Srans, congrats.
Brotha, that right there is awesome and inspiring. Very awesome. So proud for you. And reading testimonies such as yours encourages others and myself to press on. Thank you. And congratulations.

I surely appreciate all the congrats. This year has been for the books. 365 days ago i had know idea i would feel like this.

I have reflected back on this year of quit today. My health is better. My mind is renewed. I'm a better husband and father. No longer am i controlled by this addiction. I am in control of the addiction.

To everyone that has anything to do with this year of my life i say thank you. To everyone that helped me indirectly or directly, i thank you. To the vets that were here before me and to the quitter that came after Me, i thank you. To the ones who walked with me daily and never wavered, i thank you. To the caver who made my quit stronger, i thank you.

One year down. See y'all tomorrow at roll call. I have another day to add to this quit. If you don't mind I'll stick around another day. This posting roll and hanging out here at ktc seems to work.

Interesting: Seen a work buddy today. Several times during this first year of quit this friend and I have talked about how he quit years earlier. How he used his will and just done it. He actually made me think I had been weak.

He also told me several times during the year that he smokes cigars occasionally. I never really thought about it before. I'm such and IDIOT! I bought into that bullsh@@. I seen him and another friend in the parking lot with their cigars. Smelling them, talking about them, looking at them with gazing eyes of want and desire. My friend never quit sh@@!!!!!! Occasionally my foot!

There is only one QUIT!!!! Your either a slave to the poison or your not. I don't care if it comes in brown paper, white paper, can,tampon, candy, syringe, nose powder or but plug. Quit with all you today.

Honor, brotherhood, knowledge, and accountability are the foundations of KTC, but these things only focus and strengthen ones will to quit. In the end it is ones will to be quit that does it. You sir are a bad ass. Too bad for your co-worker he is not.

I never really thought about it before.  I'm such and IDIOT!  I bought into that bullsh@@.  I seen him and another friend in the parking lot with their cigars.  Smelling them, talking about them, looking at them with gazing eyes of want and desire.  My friend never quit sh@@!!!!!!  Occasionally my foot!

There is only one QUIT!!!!  Your either a slave to the poison or your not.  I don't care if it comes in brown paper, white paper, can,tampon, candy, syringe, nose powder or but plug.  Quit with all you today.
Ha! So much for pure willpower! I'll take brotherhood, honour, and some knowledge instead please! You are free srans!
Sad for him. Glad for you. Thanks for sharing.

You've been Q U I T for over a year now. Your buddy hasn't.
Honor, brotherhood, knowledge, and accountability are the foundations of KTC, but these things only focus and strengthen ones will to quit. In the end it is ones will to be quit that does it. You sir are a bad ass. Too bad for your co-worker he is not.
There is only on quit!!!! is right SRANS...you got it. I remember you talking about this cat in the past and I wondered how he was able to just do it alone. Well hell now we know you don't it takes a whole village....
Damn! Guess you ARE the stronger man. Sad for him. Could you imagine being so ignorant again? Knowledge really is power. Your the man!
P.s. Should I ask about some of the examples you gave at the end there? :D
Couple of them were for the imagination jake. 'crackup'

Keeping you and yours in my prayers my friend.
Fuck. So sorry to read this. Stay strong as you can, get help if you need it. You deserve anything you need to get through damned tough curves life throws your way, because you pay it foward so much. Prayers with you and your friend's family.
Thoughts and prayers to you and his family, Srans.
SRANS the act was a tragedy but your strength and endeavor to persevere is admirable. I am sorry for your loss if you need anything I am just a phone away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.... We are here srans, One Day at a time....... every day when you need us.... Robbie
You've got my number as well, and while I know you are a rock of hatred when it comes to nicotine, I hope you'll reach out even if it is just to talk about this or anything else.

The response that you've gotten today speaks volumes as to the respect this brotherhood has for you. Today we share in your loss.

A good freind of mine ended his own life last night.

A chew won't help me right now. 
A chew won't make my friend come back. 
A chew won't ease the pain.
A chew won't help me get through this day or the next.

I'll be QLF all day long.  I don't give a sh@@ what else happens this day!
Can't read that ^^^ and not offer condolences and support. Wish I had some magic words for you. I will tell you this, you are a pillar of my quit and I have no doubt you are QLF as you pledged above. Take care of yourself and those around you this weekend.
omg brother, hang tight

thoughts out to you and yours from me and mine.
Dammit.

Sorry, Shawn. There are no words. They're all too small.

Peace brother.
Really sorry to hear that srans. Hang strong today and don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

I am quitting with you all day long!

Damn! I'm sorry to hear this. I have no words of encouragement that would actually change how you feel. But you are a man of resolve so I know you will be ok as far as nicotine is concerned. If you need anything feel free to reach out. We got your back even if all you need is to yell. You got my prayers bro.

Thanks for all the kind words on my intro and texts gentlemen. This is the second time in my life I've had someone take their own life. First time it was explainable to some point. He was in a lot of pain and having many medical issues.

This time there is NO answers!

Look around today at your family and friends. Appreciate what YOU have and ask YOURself what YOU can do to make things better. You hold the key. One person affects so many lives. Quit with all of you today.

FULL MOON WEEK HERE ON KTC!

There have been brothers returning in flocks after caving. At least 2 after HOF. One after 800+ days... that one came back with a reason of caving because he was driving on slick roads. WTF?

Then we have a man like SRANS. For those of you new to the site, who are experiencing the madness of this full moon week in June 2014 - it would be worth your time to read his intro. Today is day 400 for him. 400 days of rock solid quit. Did he struggle at first? Hell yes! Did he stick with the plan? Every damn day! When SRANS gives his word, we all know that he means it.

He might live in Florida, but if this man decides to drive on slick roads, he won't cave. He gives his word, pays it forward and backward everyday, and keeps racking up wins.

You wanna know how to quit - you wanna win? SRANS is the man with the plan.

Thanks for the congrats gentlemen. Someone sent a text and congratulated me and asked how i made it this many days?

My answer was no different today then yesterday. I keep posting roll daily and the days keep adding up. This is not rocket science.

On day 1 it seemed like it was going to be complicated. I figured i never would enjoy my life again. I had to put my trust in what others were telling me. I had to believe that after time things would get better and i would not feel as though i had little to look forward to.

Make it today and we'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here. Today might not be that great, but eventually TODAY will be worth it.

Srans 400

On day 1 it seemed like it was going to be complicated. I figured i never would enjoy my life again.  I had to put my trust in what others were telling me.  I had to believe that after time things would get better and i would not feel as though i had little to look forward to. 

Make it today and we'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here
I've come to appreciate this idea more  more.....

Thx for sharing.

Great words SRANS. Simple, yet profound. Words of wisdom to be sure.

Day 435. Why did I wait for well over 25 years to quit? Damn!

Same reason I used for 38 years and other quitters did it as long or longer. Because we simply were not ready to admit to ourselves we were weak-assed addicts and wanted to quit. Same reason so many who join here don't make it and many younger guys don't make it. Because you have to want it bad enough to make it a priority. Every day. Quit on Srans, every day.

Thought: I remember thinking everyone that was addicted to chewing had to have a truck. After I came here I found a lot of my thoughts about chewers were fallacies. I didn't realize how many doctors, lawyers, store clerks, officers, firefighters and I could go on, on and on. It was eye opening to see that even a man in a Hyundai could be addicted to the poison like I was. I recently seen a picture of a few quitters together and sure, there was a couple that had that chewer look I had so vividly outlined in my head. Then there was a couple of them that didn't fit my chewers profile at all. I would have had to take a second look if I would have ever seen them in person chewing. I would have never guessed they were just as addicted as I was. In my eyes I fit the mold perfectly. I could not quit because I was born to chew. I was suppose to chew, it was my destiny. HOW SAD!

It don't matter who, where you work, how much money, what kind of car you drive and what you wear. The poison enslaves all walks of life.

Good news! We can all choose freedom today. None of us are special! We never had to use, it was OUR CHOICE! We weren't born to chew. It was up to us to take those chains off. Glad to be quit with all of you today.

This is gospel. I am a CPA, who chewed in my office. I tended to growl at my clients when they came in w/o an appointment, mainly because I had a fatty in. And if they got past my secretary, they were greeted by a fool with a paper towel in hand for the spit. Or a wet shirt because I had to dump the wad ASAP and made a mess.

Just another lesson in freedom. Great post brother.

When you joined, you were a shell of the man you are today. Who knew how good life would be? Who knew the freedom, how good you feel, the sense of pride, how much faster you can run, how fear doesn't strike everytime you have a bump on your lip?

I'm proud to quit with you today. You've helped a lot of people that were struggling through their own hell slong the way, including me... So from one Hyundai driver to another (secrets out now...) congratulations!!!

Hyundai?

Ehhh...who am I to judge? (Honda minivan owner)

Welcome to the fifth floor man. I wish I could say anything as eloquent as your friend here, but I can't (but I'll try):

It's been a long journey to this point man, and guess what? You walk the same path today that you've walked 499 days prior. It's beaten down now. Grass doesn't even grow when you walk. You've long cleared away the debris that made you duck your head or step over. An old footprint of yours is still visible in the mud. The path is worn, and you know the way.

Keep it up. Keep up your pace, and treat every day with wonder. After all, did this seem possible 499 days ago? Lead, follow...whatever you need to do to stay on this path...DO IT!

You're doing this, brother. I'm very proud of you.

500 days...

When you joined, you were a shell of the man you are today. Who knew how good life would be? Who knew the freedom, how good you feel, the sense of pride, how much faster you can run, how fear doesn't strike everytime you have a bump on your lip?

I'm proud to quit with you today. You've helped a lot of people that were struggling through their own hell slong the way, including me... So from one Hyundai driver to another (secrets out now...) congratulations!!!
Hyundai?

Ehhh...who am I to judge? (Honda minivan owner)

Welcome to the fifth floor man. I wish I could say anything as eloquent as your friend here, but I can't (but I'll try):

It's been a long journey to this point man, and guess what? You walk the same path today that you've walked 499 days prior. It's beaten down now. Grass doesn't even grow when you walk. You've long cleared away the debris that made you duck your head or step over. An old footprint of yours is still visible in the mud. The path is worn, and you know the way.

Keep it up. Keep up your pace, and treat every day with wonder. After all, did this seem possible 499 days ago? Lead, follow...whatever you need to do to stay on this path...DO IT!

You're doing this, brother. I'm very proud of you.
You have helped so many of us get through the worst days of our quits brother, and you amaze me with all you do on KTC! Half a comma is awesome srans. Enjoy your day.
keep bringing it!!!

'oh yeah'

Thanks for all the words gentlemen. 500 on day 1 was incomprehensible. I thought 500 days with not even 1hit of the poison was impossible.

Before Ktc I would have thought I was accomplishing something if I went 1 day. Wait a second, I can't even recall making it a day.

This place taught me and showed me how it was done. It taught me that we all have the key to those chains, it's up to us if we want to use them.

Final words from a half redneck who cares less if your name is black, red, green, pink or your preference is rainbow. All that really matters is making it through this day without the poison. I thank everyone that helped me get here. If your hung up on color and that helps you stay quit, more power to you.

I will be back tomorrow for 501 the lord willing. P.s the wife drives the hyndai. Damn you Micheal, I have a reputation to uphold here. 'bang head'

Day 519 and not feeling so well. Feels like strep throat (possible exaggeration) or something of that nature. It hurts to caugh and my head is pounding.

The catch is we had a day out planned to go to the water part and maybe spend the evening at a busch gardent. It's apparent that the water park is out of the question for me. My wife is mad at me because I won't be going. She stated she has been going to these parks with a hurt foot and other ailments. She don't understand why I can't suck it up.

Does pneumonia have any meaning around here? I have always heard that you should rest, especially with a head cold. If this was one of the kids it would be no question. We would be staying home and assuring their survival. Me,,,,,,,, aaaaaaaaaaaah!

My point,,,,,,, I'm quit today and no matter the outcome I will still be quit. I will go through the day with out one crave. The poison is such a distant thought now and it feels so good. I don't have to fight the thoughts of using any longer. It was so worth it to get to where i am guys. 520 days ago, i would have been putting poison in my pie hole even if I had a strepp throat or any other illness. My number one concern would have been how and when I could spend time with the poison. STAY QUIT! It's so worth it.

He said there is no doubt that his quit is secure. He was thinking about the site too much.
He couldn't move on until he left the site. Blah blah, rest assured his quit is secure.

Total fucking bullshit, pre-caver.
Told him I'm very disappointed in his attitude.

He told me the same thing.

I told him that I'm glad he's still quit and he should come back if he feels like he should.

Though he seems to be going against his own espoused philosophy when he was active on this site. I always thought he was a certified koolaid drinker. Guess not. If he caves, or caved, we will probably not hear about it.

Move along gentlemen. Sean is a rock solid quitter. He has not been active on the site because he is attempting to limit computer and social media from his life. I get it and respect it. The site served the man well and he gave back plenty. Find someone else to shit on please. This guy has helped 100s of quitters during his time here. Can you say the same?? Move along.

I think you all need to chill out a bit. Plenty of people slow their roll on KTC as time goes on. It just happens. Does not mean they are cavers, or pre-cavers. You do this thing at your pace.

I can tell you that posting Roll EDD and quitting ODAAT is the key.

Srans helped a lot of people get quit. The numbers are probably staggering if you looked at them. I think there are plenty of other people that probably deserve your wrath. It ain't this guy. My hope is he stays quit and pops in from time to time.

In the words of Aaron Rogers... R - E - L - A X.

In a big way.

Religion, kids, wife, career... That's what really matters when you've created a substantial quit like Srans has. If a web forum is interfering with life... it's time to cut it out. He is in regular contact with a number of us and we're all very ok with his place in life and quit. Until you've walked in his shoes... STFU.

I think you all need to chill out a bit. Plenty of people slow their roll on KTC as time goes on. It just happens. Does not mean they are cavers, or pre-cavers. You do this thing at your pace.

I can tell you that posting Roll EDD and quitting ODAAT is the key.

Srans helped a lot of people get quit. The numbers are probably staggering if you looked at them. I think there are plenty of other people that probably deserve your wrath. It ain't this guy. My hope is he stays quit and pops in from time to time.

In the words of Aaron Rogers... R - E - L - A X.

I say Lippi you take your drama to a.different thread SRANS is a bad ass and immersed himself deeply in many a bad ass here. He has his reasons I respect them as you can see here he still lives in each and everyone of us who speak in his defense. It is a shame that you missed being exposed to srans. Look back in threads you will see his name mentioned time and time again so I suggest you zip it and move on.

Great quits are grown with positive reinforcement and a guiding hand. Great quits are not built with roundup and gasoline. Srans spent hours every day, for many many months, reaching out to newbies and leading them to freedom. I am in contact with him frequently - and while his decision is not one that I would make, I owe him a lot as I wouldn't be where I am without his support. Time to find a new target....

I was just a little worried about the guy. And it didn't seem characteristic of him to quit posting roll altogether, especially based on how he used to encourage others. Interesting. Glad he is okay and keeping in touch with you through other lines of communication besides KTC.

And just to share my thoughts on this matter of KTC burnout.... I'm sure there comes a time when KTC burnout occurs. Especially when people are constantly interacting, texting, chatting, posting roll in 30 groups per day, posting in intros, etc. My advice, don't cut it out altogether. This place isn't the poison. This place is the cure for nicotine. Don't be ashamed to scale back to a mere one roll post per day. It's the minimum price of admission. Srans doesn't owe us a thing. He very obviously helped tons of quitters. But he shouldn't feel obligated to keep that pace forever just to remain on KTC. I'm worried that quitting KTC altogether can lead to that dreaded complacency. I would encourage him to come back here and post roll if he ever felt like he needed to. Everybody scales back. Of course this is KTC that we are talking about not nicotine.

First and foremost,,, thanks ktc and to everyone that has said some seriously cool stuff on my behalf. All my friends know what I'm about. Micheal, matt, shane, ryan, eddie and todd, You guys are the real deal. These are the kind of people that can save a life. Grizzly,, I've known u a long time also. You do a great job helping others. Lipi I know your heart is in the right place and I'm glad to be quit with u.

As micheal and todd pointed out, i spent a lot of time on ktc helping myself and others. This place saved my life.

I occasionally come back and read intros to reinforce my memory of where I've come from. I keep contact with several friends that I've made on ktc. I continue to help others when the opportunity arises.

My decision to leave ktc became necessary. It was not a decision made lightly or without much thought. I will just say I'm not the only one involved in the decision. The person that influenced this decision was the person directly involved in my life for over 26 years. Sorry lipi,, you've got nothing on her. For some reason i couldn't keep ktc and family separated enough (for a lack of better words). It blead into important areas of my life and it caused stress and friction. I can't explain this. Hopefully most will understand. I believe a doctor visit would indicate ADD. I determimed it was best to step away and now i clearly see it as a good decision.

In a nut shell,, My quit is secure because of my brothers and what I've learned. Rest assured, I'm not the one to be worried about. I drank the koolaid around here excessively for a long time. The koolaid was great and I'll continue to come around when a cup is needed.

The important thing,,,,, stay quit my friends. I won't be far and I'm glad to be quit with each and everyone here.

To the newbies,,, this place will save your life. We weren't meant to be bound chained and gagged . We weren't meant to be dragged around by a can of dirt. Stay quit, your life depends on it.

some of the comments I have read on this thread concern me greatly. How many times do we have to read the tale of repeat day 1's before it sinks in that it is an incredibly bad idea to drift?

Defending someone's decision to drift is not support. Someone's level of past involvement on ktc is no indicator that they will stay quit, that has been proven multiple times. Today is the only day that counts. Yesterday's success is a pleasant memory- but it really is no more than that.

I do not wish you anything but the best srans, and I hope you never have to revisit the statement "I clearly see it as a good decision". Many quits have fallen to overconfidence.

Thank you 30.
For the guy who told me to take the drama somewhere else, and that he wished I had been helped by Srans.....What the fuck do you think I was doing? Trolling, looking to harass some dickhead who had left the site?
No, asshole, I was looking to talk to someone whom had been incredibly important to my quit, and whom I found to be MIA.
I contacted a few people I thought might know where he went. I sent him an email.
I got a fucking pre-caver email back.
I was civil in my reply, but let him know in no uncertain terms what I thought of his email.
If you can't see that, you are too close to the situation.
We all know how this story goes, and fuck you for acting like you don't know it too.
People don't have to be caved to be called out. Maybe we can keep him from throwing away all that quit.
His wife is going to be his sole support?
Lol. Did you guys even ever chew, or did you just blackout on it?
He can't post roll once a day? FUCK THAT.

I don't think anyone agrees with folks leaving and not posting roll. The fact is many people do... Not everyone is a 100% roll poster. Just a fact. When great quitters decide it's time to roll we tell them we think they should stay but I don't need to tell them to F off as they leave. If they are quit they are welcome back at any time in my eyes. If they cave then they need to go to the front of the line and post a day 1. I can't make decisions for people. It is their decision and life to live. Today I think the best way to do this is to post roll EDD.

I get it Lipi... Your heart is in the right place - you just have the Lipi style. All good.

Just a few questions for the dudes supporting "Veteran Drift".
(These are based on Srans being unable to post roll again until his cave)
1. When he caves and returns, what will your reaction be?
2. Will you be supportive? (i.e. handjob squad) Will you be angry?
3. If you give him a handy when he returns, will it be because of your culpability in this planned cave?
4. Will you even bother to ask him what happened? (I mean, you were right there holding the tin for him)
5. Should he even be asked the three questions, or should you guys answer for him?
6. Should we just wave the three questions for a legend of this magnitude?
7. Are you guys supporting the drift because you have your own parachute ready to go?

I am not trying to keep Srans here if he doesn't want to be here. I am trying to snap him out of it.
Rest assured that if anyone on this site who is important to me drifts away, you will get the exact same treatment. If you don't want to see something like this in your intro, the ransom is simple- one fucking minute of your time per day. Post roll. We all fucking know that.
If you send me a pre-caver bullshit response like Srans, I will know where you are headed too. And you all should still realize that, but you're getting complacent as well.
Good luck Srans.

The point that srans made was as follows:

He MUST divorce himself from KTC to save his marriage/family. That there is NO other option...

How is it that nobody is calling bullshit on this? 'Crazy'

You know what lippi you can go fuck yourself! What have you done in the real world...not to pat my own back but I can tell you what I have done I gave two talks at a college here I shared my story of my quit and this site. I didnt do it because I am wonderful public speaker in fact I am scared to death to speak publicly but my disdain for tobacco outweighs my fear. So u can get your handy ready for me as a pleasure basis I am a strong quitter I assure you I dont need a parachute.
What are you pissed at that srans made a quiet exit no drama. An exit is not on my radar but respect his decision I believe that srans the skills to know what to do.

I get it Lipi... Your heart is in the right place - you just have the Lipi style. All good.
Just a few questions for the dudes supporting "Veteran Drift".
(These are based on Srans being unable to post roll again until his cave)
1. When he caves and returns, what will your reaction be?
2. Will you be supportive? (i.e. handjob squad) Will you be angry?
3. If you give him a handy when he returns, will it be because of your culpability in this planned cave?
4. Will you even bother to ask him what happened? (I mean, you were right there holding the tin for him)
5. Should he even be asked the three questions, or should you guys answer for him?
6. Should we just wave the three questions for a legend of this magnitude?
7. Are you guys supporting the drift because you have your own parachute ready to go?

I am not trying to keep Srans here if he doesn't want to be here. I am trying to snap him out of it.
Rest assured that if anyone on this site who is important to me drifts away, you will get the exact same treatment. If you don't want to see something like this in your intro, the ransom is simple- one fucking minute of your time per day. Post roll. We all fucking know that.
If you send me a pre-caver bullshit response like Srans, I will know where you are headed too. And you all should still realize that, but you're getting complacent as well.
Good luck Srans.
You know what lippi you can go fuck yourself! What have you done in the real world...not to pat my own back but I can tell you what I have done I gave two talks at a college here I shared my story of my quit and this site. I didnt do it because I am wonderful public speaker in fact I am scared to death to speak publicly but my disdain for tobacco outweighs my fear. So u can get your handy ready for me as a pleasure basis I am a strong quitter I assure you I dont need a parachute.
What are you pissed at that srans made a quiet exit no drama. An exit is not on my radar but respect his decision I believe that srans the skills to know what to do.
Congrats on your college talks dude.
I post roll every day. Srans doesn't.
I don't care what you do in the real world. Do you post roll? That's all I give a shit about.
Hey, fuck yourself too. If you're wondering, all of my comments were, in fact, directed at you.

some of the comments I have read on this thread concern me greatly. How many times do we have to read the tale of repeat day 1's before it sinks in that it is an incredibly bad idea to drift?

Defending someone's decision to drift is not support. Someone's level of past involvement on ktc is no indicator that they will stay quit, that has been proven multiple times. Today is the only day that counts. Yesterday's success is a pleasant memory- but it really is no more than that.

I do not wish you anything but the best srans, and I hope you never have to revisit the statement "I clearly see it as a good decision". Many quits have fallen to overconfidence.
Thank you 30.
For the guy who told me to take the drama somewhere else, and that he wished I had been helped by Srans.....What the fuck do you think I was doing? Trolling, looking to harass some dickhead who had left the site?
No, asshole, I was looking to talk to someone whom had been incredibly important to my quit, and whom I found to be MIA.
I contacted a few people I thought might know where he went. I sent him an email.
I got a fucking pre-caver email back.
I was civil in my reply, but let him know in no uncertain terms what I thought of his email.
If you can't see that, you are too close to the situation.
We all know how this story goes, and fuck you for acting like you don't know it too.
People don't have to be caved to be called out. Maybe we can keep him from throwing away all that quit.
His wife is going to be his sole support?
Lol. Did you guys even ever chew, or did you just blackout on it?
He can't post roll once a day? FUCK THAT.
I don't think anyone agrees with folks leaving and not posting roll. The fact is many people do... Not everyone is a 100% roll poster. Just a fact. When great quitters decide it's time to roll we tell them we think they should stay but I don't need to tell them to F off as they leave. If they are quit they are welcome back at any time in my eyes. If they cave then they need to go to the front of the line and post a day 1. I can't make decisions for people.

There is a difference between thinking you are cured and just moving on. We are all addicts and need to remember that EDD for the rest of our lives. Failure to do that is a recipe for day 1.

All cavers get the same treatment. Your questions are ridiculous.

I keep in contact with several folks that fought with me past 200+ days. Now I can do one of 2 things... tell them (1) you are dead to me, good luck or say (2) good luck, stay quit, drop in from time to time and you know how to get in touch with me if you need to. I use #2. You can use #1 if you want to and maybe we need that here as well.

We are addicts and by our very nature extremists. At some point people grow up and want to move out on their own. Just like when you were a kid and turned 18... you needed to grow up and move out on your own. It could be a slippery slope sometimes and if you slip you will return with a day 1 post. But many folks just do it when they think they are ready. You don't need to like it but it is reality.

I don't neccessarily think "growing up" and being on KTC are mutally exclusive.
I am well aware that there is a real world. And I know many folks leave "when they are ready".
Why are you making excuses for them not taking one minute to post roll? Of course we can't change their minds for them, but we don't need to support that either.
This isn't the case of "I will come back from time to time" this is "I had to leave because I was thinking about it too much". That is bullshit. If you heard that from a guy on day 10, its bullshit. Its bullshit when it comes from a guy on day 600. I will stop 'bang head' about it.
My position is clear, and I make no apologies to anyone for it, ever.

30 year addict,,,,,,, Much respect! I will always take what you say seriously. You deserve my utmost attention.

Now let me lay it all on the table. Imagine if you will,,,, a humble couple. A husband and wife who go to church and the husband in desperate need of help to brake the chains of nicotine. The man finds this site, keeps his beliefs strong while using ktc to help him. He tells his wife, who is very religious and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. His wife is happy that he is quitting, but has never understood his addiction. Her husband gives her his sign on and she gets on ktc and sees the following;

1, two bananas not being ate but taking part in pornography. Thats her thoughts.

2, women dressed provocatively in the corner of screens, if dressed at all.

3, men and women talking to each other with what she describes as cursing and drama.

I could add some more, but i think u get the point. If not feel free to look at lipi's signature line and his last post.

Understand this. My wife is number 2 in my life,,,, right behind my Lord and Savior. Being quit will always be of the utmost importance to me. Have a good day and God Bless!

CHANGE THE STORY!!! Shame on you moron. Read everything again,,,,, It's always the same,, I'm just trying to use words your ignorant brain can understand. It's always been about people like you and your lack of respect for others. I can't believe i let you bring me back for this.

Srans brings up a valid point that is never spoken about on the site. It's offensive (not to me) and vulgar. I can definitely see where people can get turned off by the site - especially religious women who don't see the true message behind all the crudeness. IMO if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to look at it. IMO Srans shouldn't leave the site. But I'm not him. You can't make people do what they don't like. I agree with Lipi that this is all pretty weak - and I didn't see this one coming. Srans (who I only know by rep) has always been solid on the site and he has a large inner circle of quitters I have no doubt. IE - guys that lean on him for support.....Now if I were still married and I had to choose leaving KTC or divorce I'd choose leaving (as anyone with a happy healthy marriage would). Having said that, Srans is the member of KTC - not his wife. His wife has no need or cause to be on the site if she doesn't like a couple of cartoon bananas screwing. I hope you reconsider this Srans. You need never do anything but post roll in your group and your wife need never look at this site. If she (or you) believes that you are being morally compromised by this site then I'd suggest lightening up a little or else looking in the mirror and toughening your resolve - you're stronger than bad words or a picture of a girl in a bikini right?. Hope you stick - you've done a lot of good here.

Before anyone gets any other bright ideas, if the avatars and emoji offend you or you feel they disrespect your wife, marriage, whatever -go to control panel and turn them off.

No excuses. Especially not bullshit ones. Addicts are great at turning anything into one, using it to suit their purpose, and then defending it. This site and community is a place where other addicts see something, say something. No need to get pissy when that happens -you should be thankful someone gives a shit enough to notice.

Reasons of spiritual beliefs and spouse are not weak morgan. Much respect for u, but disagree. Religion and wife are of the most important...

The reasons aren't weak. A man believes what he believes. Who am I compared to your wife? Or your core beliefs? I'm a total stranger on a website. No one. But the action being taken is weak imo. Leaving isn't the only only alternative man. J2B says above there is a way to turn off
Avatars and such I think. Maybe you can look into that option. Your wife needn't look here at all ever again. Etc etc. I wouldn't have commented at all on this thread if I didn't believe you were an asset here. Hope you stick. This isn't an attack.

Well,, my exit didn't play out exactly like this in my head. The avatars and such never bothered me morgan. What bothered me was my wife being bothered. Everything else i mentioned is stuff i deal with day in and out, nothing i can't handle. Much respect morgan,,, i know your tying to help me.

What do i know ,, I'm just an addict making excuses per josh. No excuses needed really,,,, I'm quit today. Y'all keep the drama going if it helps you get through the day. I'm out!

Quote from: srans
30 year addict,,,,,,, Much respect! I will always take what you say seriously. You deserve my utmost attention.

Now let me lay it all on the table. Imagine if you will,,,, a humble couple. A husband and wife who go to church and the husband in desperate need of help to brake the chains of nicotine. The man finds this site, keeps his beliefs strong while using ktc to help him. He tells his wife, who is very religious and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. His wife is happy that he is quitting, but has never understood his addiction. Her husband gives her his sign on and she gets on ktc and sees the following;

1, two bananas not being ate but taking part in pornography. Thats her thoughts.

2, women dressed provocatively in the corner of screens, if dressed at all.

3, men and women talking to each other with what she describes as cursing and drama.

I could add some more, but i think u get the point. If not feel free to look at lipi's signature line and his last post.

Understand this. My wife is number 2 in my life,,,, right behind my Lord and Savior. Being quit will always be of the utmost importance to me. Have a good day and God Bless!
Well, that's a totally different excuse than you used in the previous 24 hours, so I hope you get your story straight and stop by from time to time.
Srans brings up a valid point that is never spoken about on the site. It's offensive (not to me) and vulgar. I can definitely see where people can get turned off by the site - especially religious women who don't see the true message behind all the crudeness. IMO if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to look at it. IMO Srans shouldn't leave the site. But I'm not him. You can't make people do what they don't like. I agree with Lipi that this is all pretty weak - and I didn't see this one coming. Srans (who I only know by rep) has always been solid on the site and he has a large inner circle of quitters I have no doubt. IE - guys that lean on him for support.....Now if I were still married and I had to choose leaving KTC or divorce I'd choose leaving (as anyone with a happy healthy marriage would). Having said that, Srans is the member of KTC - not his wife. His wife has no need or cause to be on the site if she doesn't like a couple of cartoon bananas screwing. I hope you reconsider this Srans. You need never do anything but post roll in your group and your wife need never look at this site. If she (or you) believes that you are being morally compromised by this site then I'd suggest lightening up a little or else looking in the mirror and toughening your resolve - you're stronger than bad words or a picture of a girl in a bikini right?. Hope you stick - you've done a lot of good here.

Srans - Please don't leave the site. There's offense all over the place, but that's not the part that matters. You can turn off the avatars. That's for sure. You don't have to participate in the nonsensical dribble that we do to pass the time and keep our minds off of quit. However, I will appeal to you to reason with me on this.

There is a very particular reason this place works like it does with the results it has. You simply have to ask yourself why you were able to quit with this site and not with the loving support of your wife previously. This is a common question all of us ask. It seems ridiculous to think that a bunch of strangers can have such an impact on quitting but the facts are it does. The truth is it works. And it worked for you.

Your wife doesn't understand addiction. You must tell her that she doesn't understand addiction and that she needs to trust you to do the right thing, and that right thing is quitting. I get it that she would be offended. I couldn't show what I've written on here and be proud of it. It's why there is an anonymous nature to it, the very founding principles. What you have here is pure accountability with no hidden agenda. The truth that is spilled here, your addict mind can't argue with. It can't use the reasons that we gave ourselves before for not listening to those closest to us that asked us to quit. Thats the power of this place. You have no way to dismiss the truth like you can with a wife. "She just doesn't understand." "She's on the rag." "She's just pissed about the last thing I did." All the excuses our addict mind gives to ignore the truth when it comes from those people closest to us.

It's different when it's coming from a bunch of strangers. You have no way to dismiss the truth that way. And then those strangers, turn into brothers, and that brotherhood is what brings about the ultimate in accountability.

SRANS, I'm literally begging you not to go. Please reason with your wife on this if you need to. She may think you don't need us, but you know you do. More important, we need you. You are a man of faith. Jesus didn't hang out with the church people of his day. He hung out with, well, pretty much dudes like us, and hookers. You're an important part of a lot of quits and its an important ministry that you are a part of.

CMARK, Keddy - are both pastors, and are both on here and have had an incredible impact. You have too. Please reach out to them if you want additional guidance and ask them for their counsel from a Christian perspective.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE AS A KNEE JERK REACTION

That is not a wise thing to do. In the counsel of many there is wisdom.

For some reason i couldn't keep ktc and family separated enough (for a lack of better words). It blead into important areas of my life and it caused stress and friction. I can't explain this. Hopefully most will understand. I believe a doctor visit would indicate ADD. I determimed it was best to step away and now i clearly see it as a good decision.

Man, this blew up. What the hell? I don't usually get into this kind of war of words but IMHO Srans owes no one an explanation. It's his life to live, live it brother. Do what you gotta do! You've helped my quit and I know you've spent countless hours helping others. You've given your word and I will trust in that! If you post a day one you will have my support but I know better! Quit on brother!

Tell me this isnt serious????

Are people actually supporting leaving???

The excuses and the planned caves are so pathetic. I am sure your wife and your god are upset with you for taking 3 minutes to post roll on a website lol. The issues that you now have with the site and the "language" were not an issue when you were crawling up walls because you wanted a dip. How did god feel when you were killing the vessel he provided you by throwing a can a day in your mouth? how do people forget where they came from?


have fun bud.....see you in a few months.

I second that. If you were already one month out the door and still solid on the quit, why come back and stir the pot more? Something is a bit out of place IMHO.

I'm fairly certain 200 days ago you would have jumped on me for stopping roll posting because my wife didn't like to see the titties on my quit site. She is very religious too, but loves me enough to know KTC has kept me quit for 233 day, where nothing else has.

srans,

turn off the avatars and don't venture out of your own quit group if you find it offensive.

As a Christian you are called to be in the world and not of it. Christianity is not about hiding yourself away from sinners.... Peter was rebuked for a similar mindset when he refused to eat with the gentiles. Jesus spent the majority of time with sinners because "it is not the healthy that need a doctor, rather the sick"

It's not my place to say who- but there are and have been many Pastors as active members here.

There seems to be a misunderstanding.... Srans isn't leaving. Srans has left. It is confusing why, 90 days after he last posted roll (August 21st) there is suddenly an uproar and his character is being attacked. He reached out to a handful of us, his closest contacts, we we gave it our best to try and get him to change his mind. We know him well, he is an honorable man of great character an was a tremendous asset to this site and countless quitters. I wish he hadn't left too, but I don't understand why several of you are trying to use toxic behaviors to lure back a great member that left 90 days ago. Hate wasn't the way Srans hrlped quitters when he was here, and hate isn't likely to lure him back.

I bid Srans a heartfelt goodbye from ktc 90 days ago. His quit is solid according to him, and I have no reason to doubt him. I don't support him leaving - he didn't ask permission... He is a grown ass man and doesn't have to ask permission. I will always owe him a debt of gratitude for his support and honesty.

I wish Srans, and everyone posting on this thread, peace. Because that is one of the real benefits of healing from the addiction that had all of us in its clutches for way too long.

This man in fact did leave months ago. And I was one of the many that he reached out too. He gave far more than he took from this site. Thus he has paid his dues and made his choice. He is over 600 days and made the choice to move on. He still text me from time to time. And yea I hate he's not around but hey he is a grown man that is solid in quit!

To those beating this bad ass up.... Whatever his reason,,,,,, if a quitter at 600 days decides to quit posting and helping every new quitter then so be it, most leave after 100 and we don't see this much aggression if any in their threads.

To you Srans..... I can see why people want you back in here, your positive and charismatic approach to newbies was impressive to watch and saved many quits. It's a testament to your leadership (although I don't agree with the approach) that so many want you back in the house! Yet I respect your decision to move on and quit with you!!

I think these guys are on to something.
Srans has great character and honor, so he doesn't need KTC to be quit.
The rest of us are not so lucky.
March 15 is starting today, lets head over there and tell the newbies that if they have honor and great character, they don't need to use this place, they are cured.
As far as the "toxic behavior" and "hate", show me where that was directed at Srans?
If he wants to go chew again, that is on him.
The people I really have a problem with in this thread are the guys who are defending his departure.

What the fuck happened to this guy? Does anybody know?
Did he go to Living Dic Free? Cave?
Went looking to talk to him and he has been MIA for over a month. WTF
I just texted him. I'll let you know what I hear.
I actually sent him an email and he responded.
He said there is no doubt that his quit is secure. He was thinking about the site too much.
He couldn't move on until he left the site. Blah blah, rest assured his quit is secure.

Total fucking bullshit, pre-caver.
Told him I'm very disappointed in his attitude.
Wish I never went looking for him.
He told me the same thing.

I told him that I'm glad he's still quit and he should come back if he feels like he should.

Though he seems to be going against his own espoused philosophy when he was active on this site. I always thought he was a certified koolaid drinker. Guess not. If he caves, or caved, we will probably not hear about it.
He's a fucking hypocrite. And now he is officially a pre-caver, if not a caver.
Whatever. I am striking his name from the list of people I give a shit about
Toxic behavior and hate noted above. The quote button can sometimes work against you too, Lipi.

The new groups could really benefit from some help. The new quitters could too. How's about you stop hating on a good man who has left this site months ago, which you didn't notice for over 90 days, and help someone that wants the help. Because you aren't helping Srans.

For the record, I don't agree with his decision. But I don't own srans and have no control over his behavior. Just like I don't own you and have no ability to push the off button on you right now. I tried to get srans to stay - and was unsuccessful. Lots of others did too. We noticed his departure on day 1... where were you?

I step back, I should not have said I respect Srans decision to leave. I agree that it best everyone stay forever and post roll too they die, I plan too. But to hate on him is bull shit and I got a little defensive. This is wrong in so many accounts. This man did a lot for KTC.

where is the toxic behavior in your quote? Bad language?
Where was I on the first day he left? How the fuck am I supposed to know? There was nothing about this in his intro until I brought it up. Looks like you guys really fought hard and publicly huh?
As far as helping newbies? I do it everyday. Where the fuck are you you piece of shit?
You want toxic behavior you fuckstck, here it is. FUCK YOU 'Finger'

It's a testament to your leadership (although I don't agree with the approach) that so many want you back in the house! Yet I respect your decision to move on and quit with you!!
I can never respect a decision to move on. It goes against EVERYTHING that I believe in when it comes to quit.
I think these guys are on to something.
Srans has great character and honor, so he doesn't need KTC to be quit.
The rest of us are not so lucky.
March 15 is starting today, lets head over there and tell the newbies that if they have honor and great character, they don't need to use this place, they are cured.
As far as the "toxic behavior" and "hate", show me where that was directed at Srans?
If he wants to go chew again, that is on him.
The people I really have a problem with in this thread are the guys who are defending his departure.
No one defended his departure. If it makes you feel better to call him a caver, pre-caver, whatever other name you want .... Have at it. Maybe you are right. He has to prove that to himself.

There are plenty of others that are doing the same thing today. Let's move on to a new thread and burn that one down. We can do this all week. We can really make a difference.

What the fuck happened to this guy? Does anybody know?
Did he go to Living Dic Free? Cave?
Went looking to talk to him and he has been MIA for over a month. WTF
I just texted him. I'll let you know what I hear.
I actually sent him an email and he responded.
He said there is no doubt that his quit is secure. He was thinking about the site too much.
He couldn't move on until he left the site. Blah blah, rest assured his quit is secure.

Total fucking bullshit, pre-caver.
Told him I'm very disappointed in his attitude.
Wish I never went looking for him.
He told me the same thing.

I told him that I'm glad he's still quit and he should come back if he feels like he should.

Though he seems to be going against his own espoused philosophy when he was active on this site. I always thought he was a certified koolaid drinker. Guess not. If he caves, or caved, we will probably not hear about it.
He's a fucking hypocrite. And now he is officially a pre-caver, if not a caver.
Whatever. I am striking his name from the list of people I give a shit about
Toxic behavior and hate noted above. The quote button can sometimes work against you too, Lipi.

The new groups could really benefit from some help. The new quitters could too. How's about you stop hating on a good man who has left this site months ago, which you didn't notice for over 90 days, and help someone that wants the help. Because you aren't helping Srans.

For the record, I don't agree with his decision. But I don't own srans and have no control over his behavior. Just like I don't own you and have no ability to push the off button on you right now. I tried to get srans to stay - and was unsuccessful. Lots of others did too. We noticed his departure on day 1... where were you?
where is the toxic behavior in your quote? Bad language?
Where was I on the first day he left? How the fuck am I supposed to know? There was nothing about this in his intro until I brought it up. Looks like you guys really fought hard and publicly huh?
As far as helping newbies? I do it everyday. Where the fuck are you you piece of shit?
You want toxic behavior you fuckstck, here it is. FUCK YOU 'Finger'
You might want to do some research on me before accusing me of not helping. I really don't need to waste any time defending my actions on this site to you. Not a minute.

I wish you peace.

I didn't call anyone a fuck.
I called Worktowin a fuckstick and a piece of shit.
That was after he implied that I should have omniscience, (since I was supposed to detect some guy a year ahead of me who had a stealth exit) and that I don't help newbies, just sit around trolling old complacent dudes.
But I'll call you a fuck if you want me to.

Hey Erussell! 'Finger'

Lol.. But seriously though.

You guys are fighting over a guy who doesn't want to be here. If he doesn't want to be here it's very difficult to be supportive of him. He doesn't need/want the accountability apparently. When people leave here I am guilty of not putting up enough of a fight. I'm probably pretty selfish in that regard. I admire Lipi for at least getting Srans to make an appearance. At least he got him in here to give us his excuse for not being here.

Also, I'll admit that I noticed he was gone a few weeks ago. I've seen other hiatus' before. When Lipi brought up his intro it caused me to want to know where he was. Glad he's still alive and quit. Too bad he won't post roll.

I agree Griz. We can't help him. Can we help the rest of these people who think its okay just to bail?
Someone in this thread actually said "most guys leave after 100" like that is a good thing, or should just be status quo. "Like, whatever, who cares if dudes think they're cured, I mean most dudes just leave at 100 anyway right?" These dudes agree (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1agaZinJHg)

I said this earlier and I still think this is a great idea.

There are plenty of others that are doing the same thing today. They either left or are not posting roll. Let's move on to a new thread and burn that one down. We can do this all week. We can really make a difference.

By the way lipi, I'm not implying anything. I am directly saying that in my opinion your efforts would be better served helping newbies (which I know you go a lot based on the number of posts you have) rather than chasing down Srans. Cause he ain't coming back here.

I also am pretty proud today... Feel like I've earned a badge by being called both a piecebof shit and a fuckstick in the same sentence. That puts me up there with Cumbubbles and ass goblin.

You do a lot of good on this site with newbies. That has value.

What the fuck happened to this guy? Does anybody know?
Did he go to Living Dic Free? Cave?
Went looking to talk to him and he has been MIA for over a month. WTF
I just texted him. I'll let you know what I hear.
I actually sent him an email and he responded.
He said there is no doubt that his quit is secure. He was thinking about the site too much.
He couldn't move on until he left the site. Blah blah, rest assured his quit is secure.

Total fucking bullshit, pre-caver.
Told him I'm very disappointed in his attitude.
Wish I never went looking for him.
He told me the same thing.

I told him that I'm glad he's still quit and he should come back if he feels like he should.

Though he seems to be going against his own espoused philosophy when he was active on this site. I always thought he was a certified koolaid drinker. Guess not. If he caves, or caved, we will probably not hear about it.
He's a fucking hypocrite. And now he is officially a pre-caver, if not a caver.
Whatever. I am striking his name from the list of people I give a shit about
Toxic behavior and hate noted above. The quote button can sometimes work against you too, Lipi.

The new groups could really benefit from some help. The new quitters could too. How's about you stop hating on a good man who has left this site months ago, which you didn't notice for over 90 days, and help someone that wants the help. Because you aren't helping Srans.

For the record, I don't agree with his decision. But I don't own srans and have no control over his behavior. Just like I don't own you and have no ability to push the off button on you right now. I tried to get srans to stay - and was unsuccessful. Lots of others did too. We noticed his departure on day 1... where were you?
where is the toxic behavior in your quote? Bad language?
Where was I on the first day he left? How the fuck am I supposed to know? There was nothing about this in his intro until I brought it up. Looks like you guys really fought hard and publicly huh?
As far as helping newbies? I do it everyday. Where the fuck are you you piece of shit?
You want toxic behavior you fuckstck, here it is. FUCK YOU 'Finger'
You might want to do some research on me before accusing me of not helping. I really don't need to waste any time defending my actions on this site to you. Not a minute.

I wish you peace.
I help folks every day. And get help every day. Who exactly are you calling a fuck....
Hey Erussell! 'Finger'

Lol.. But seriously though.

You guys are fighting over a guy who doesn't want to be here. If he doesn't want to be here it's very difficult to be supportive of him. He doesn't need/want the accountability apparently. When people leave here I am guilty of not putting up enough of a fight. I'm probably pretty selfish in that regard. I admire Lipi for at least getting Srans to make an appearance. At least he got him in here to give us his excuse for not being here.
Edit - Also, I'll admit that I noticed he was gone a few weeks ago. I've seen other hiatus' before. When Lipi brought up his intro it caused me to want to know where he was. Glad he's still alive and quit. Too bad he won't post roll.
I agree Griz. We can't help him. Can we help the rest of these people who think its okay just to bail?
Someone in this thread actually said "most guys leave after 100" like that is a good thing, or should just be status quo. "Like, whatever, who cares if dudes think they're cured, I mean most dudes just leave at 100 anyway right?" These dudes agree (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1agaZinJHg)

The fact is people roll out of here every day. Luckily there is a core of guys that participate and are reliable. When a core quitter who was heavily involved splits the coop. There is cause for concern and arguments are perfectly understandable. Complacency is the big enemy of a mature quit. That's been pounded into my head for 388 days.

Lipi, that was intended to be a little humor after we went at it all day. I figured you'd be down though!

Griz, good call. It was hard for me to process Srans leaving 90 days ago. I tried to convince him otherwise but it was his call. It was his decision and he has to live with it. As Worktowin said, he is gone. Us fighting about it does no good. I don't think anyone on here approves of people just rolling out.

All here that quit daily know how this needs to be done. Post roll EDD, be accountable and support each other. I would not be 518 days quit without this site and without all you crazy people holding me accountable. Thanks for being there.

Perhaps the discussion is pointless inasmuch as srans is concerned. (perhaps not, time will tell) It is a good discussion to have, nevertheless.

I don't think anybody here believes that it was a good idea for srans to leave. I think people came to his defense based on the tight bonds that they built with srans here. The message might have gotten a bit lost in the discussion on whether people were being disrespectful to srans or not.

There is a simple, consistent method to quit here: Post Roll, Honor That Promise, Repeat. Drifting or leaving the site are completely incompatible with this method. Anything we do or say that diminishes or confuses our method is harmful to the site, and more importantly, the quitters in it. Srans mind might be made up, but what about the guy with 150 days under his belt thinking about drifting and happens upon this intro? How is he served by us soft pedaling the truth because we happen to like quitter "x"?

There is a truth to defend, and by God, we should defend it.

Post roll, honor your promise, repeat.

anything that takes away from that message weakens our effectiveness.

Post roll then don't dip that day, then help newer quitters.

Maybe refusing to look at a quitter say 'fuck' with tits in his avatar is a prayer for purity.

But refusing to use proven quit powers to help others is a prayer to satan that Marty Barrington accomplishes great evil. Congrats on 666 days srans.

some of the comments I have read on this thread concern me greatly. How many times do we have to read the tale of repeat day 1's before it sinks in that it is an incredibly bad idea to drift?

Defending someone's decision to drift is not support. Someone's level of past involvement on ktc is no indicator that they will stay quit, that has been proven multiple times. Today is the only day that counts. Yesterday's success is a pleasant memory- but it really is no more than that.

I do not wish you anything but the best srans, and I hope you never have to revisit the statement "I clearly see it as a good decision". Many quits have fallen to overconfidence.
Srans, you were a early supporter of me and although many will miss seeing your sage advice. I trust your word and can understand your decision. I cant't say I agree 100%, but if you are quit then you are quit. Granted the roll posting process works, but you are a big boy and are capable of making your own decisions. Anyone who wants to talk shit is welcome at the P complaint department.

exactly, you hit it right on the head. I find it funny that people that have a personal relationship with someone can support certain behaviors that would otherwise be deemed irresponsible and against the code. No one is attacking anyone personally. This IS NOT PERSONAL and our opinions about the actions of others on this site shouldn't be clouded by relationships. If srans were a shitbag, I doubt many of us would even care about his decision. The fact that he has helped others, formed bonds with members, and displayed role model quitter behavior for noobs does not make the decision any more acceptable.

Man... what a couple of days on this Intro. I can say I learned more this past several days in here than I have in a long time.

Not sure it is funny as you put it sixer... but you are right. As you develop relationships with folks here at KTC and have a lot invested in them -- it is extremely difficult to see them go and it is hard to see people hammer on them.

Srans was a critical person in getting me quit. I admire this guy. He brought me thru the fog, he encouraged me to HOF, he was a great supporter and I was the same for him as I progressed. I watched him help countless others as he immersed himself on this site. It is very difficult for me to see him go on his own. Very difficult. Sometimes you are so close to a situation, you can not see it for what it is... that is when it is important to have the rest of the KTC clan get you straight.

The point you are making is a great one. I don't  can't support this decision. I hope the best for Srans and if he were to come back to KTC I would support him with all my power. If he were to call me or text me outside of KTC, I would support him as well. I have told him that. However, no person is bigger than this site. The principles of this site are simple... post roll EDD and repeat. We hold each other accountable and anything less than upholding our core values can not be tolerated.

The last part is the thing I have come to see again in full force after 519 days quit. You all are pretty amazing. I appreciate the accountability. I am proud to be quit with you all today.

some of the comments I have read on this thread concern me greatly. How many times do we have to read the tale of repeat day 1's before it sinks in that it is an incredibly bad idea to drift?

Defending someone's decision to drift is not support. Someone's level of past involvement on ktc is no indicator that they will stay quit, that has been proven multiple times. Today is the only day that counts. Yesterday's success is a pleasant memory- but it really is no more than that.

I do not wish you anything but the best srans, and I hope you never have to revisit the statement "I clearly see it as a good decision". Many quits have fallen to overconfidence.
Srans, you were a early supporter of me and although many will miss seeing your sage advice. I trust your word and can understand your decision. I cant't say I agree 100%, but if you are quit then you are quit. Granted the roll posting process works, but you are a big boy and are capable of making your own decisions. Anyone who wants to talk shit is welcome at the P complaint department.
How can you agree 1%? Nobody will be cured ever and none of us could quit without this site. This discussion is not specifically about srans. How is this hard to understand?
exactly, you hit it right on the head. I find it funny that people that have a personal relationship with someone can support certain behaviors that would otherwise be deemed irresponsible and against the code. No one is attacking anyone personally. This IS NOT PERSONAL and our opinions about the actions of others on this site shouldn't be clouded by relationships. If srans were a shitbag, I doubt many of us would even care about his decision. The fact that he has helped others, formed bonds with members, and displayed role model quitter behavior for noobs does not make the decision any more acceptable.
Man... what a couple of days on this Intro. I can say I learned more this past several days in here than I have in a long time.

Not sure it is funny as you put it sixer... but you are right. As you develop relationships with folks here at KTC and have a lot invested in them -- it is extremely difficult to see them go and it is hard to see people hammer on them.

Srans was a critical person in getting me quit. I admire this guy. He brought me thru the fog, he encouraged me to HOF, he was a great supporter and I was the same for him as I progressed. I watched him help countless others as he immersed himself on this site. It is very difficult for me to see him go on his own. Very difficult. Sometimes you are so close to a situation, you can not see it for what it is... that is when it is important to have the rest of the KTC clan get you straight.

Relationships aside, people will come and go as they damn well please. Some will fade and be quit the rest of their lives, others are destined to cave. I happen to believe that Shawn will continue to use the tools he learned here, although he will not be posting roll daily or dishing out sage advice, which will be sorely missed, I know he has other people whom are programmed into his phone and will help hold him accountable.

Those who want to ask me about 1%, you are God Damn right I can give him at least one percent, because if not for him and for a conversation I had with him over a year ago, I cannot say I would be here today. That makes him not a friend but a savior, because ragardless of his current decision, he was there for me then and I have no doubt he will be there anytime I need him.

As was stated some people can move on and be fine. I myself am not mentally ready so I will be here, but bear in mind that Shawn has saved more quits than most here and he is due respect for his path even though you may not agree with everything currently. You may not know his situation and should hold judgement until you do.

If you aren't here, you aren't using the tools, the concept of accountability is broken, the lessons learned fade, and the relationships that were formed become distant. Complacency sets in. Quit goes on autopilot. And you rely on your own self control, the same self control that failed you throughout your life as an active user.

BOTTOM LINE:

20 seconds to post roll. If the wife can't handle that, cut the ties, find someone who truly loves you unrequited.

No excuses. Ever and always.

Ok so I'm way new here, but maybe an outside perspective will focus this. I see a lot of people posting like "they need the site to quit," " none of us could quit without the site" almost like replacing the dip habit with a website habit. I would say it's fine to use the site for support, but please don't become dependent on it....that's just trading one crutch for another.

...or then again maybe I'm way off base. Either way too much stress for people in the middle of quits

That said, the resources here are great, and should be used to aid in the quit process.

Thumble, aren't YOU supposed to be a bad ass? And the best you have is, "Srans might have been able to do it if he wasn't too busy getting fingered by Marty Barrington?" If you think ILQuitter is off base, tell him why, or SDFU and go cry alone in the dark because srans left a skid mark when he mentored you then he left you behind.

ILquitter, welcome. In the long game ktc is the path to far less stress. Many come here to get their rage and frustrations out so it doesn't come out toward their loved ones (myself included). If you think dependence on ktc is a problem compared to dependence on nicotine, you are a fucking idiot. Try committing fully to your quit group and the methods for a while. See what it does for your life before you try to analyze it because this is not an analytical exercise, it's a fucking real life quit.

Fair point NMCB. I'll try and answer that question.

ILQuitter - you are off base because you still think of dip as a bad habit, which is what years and years of big tobacco marketing has convinced the general public to believe. In fact, it is a nicotine addiction. Addiction is not something that just goes away...you keep it for life. Science has shown that just one dose of (drugs, alcohol, nicotine, etc) even after years and years, reverts the brain chemistry to the exact state it was in when it was in maximum use.

We post every day, and stay active on this site, because we know that this is something that just doesn't go away. We have seen really great quitters come back after years of quit, only to post a day 1 again. We know that our best chance of being free from the bonds of that evil nic bitch, is to fully and firmly grab a hold of the mindset of hating nicotine, realizing it is a poison and that just one is all it takes to do us in.

There are countless stories of fear of the diagnosis. We have people in here that are going through cancer diagnosis in fact. The addict mindset wants to continue to put the belief in us that its really no big deal, its not as bad as X, and any other excuse you want to use. The reality is that it is a very toxic poison that completely alters your brain chemistry and is known to increase your chance of certain cancers.

Brotherhood and Accountability are the keys to staying quit. We find this place to be our best chance of success. So it's not just "trading one bad habit for another", it's realizing you have a really bad disease that will kill you and doesn't go away but it's antidote is a daily dose of brotherhood and accountability.

I also just have my own history to look back at. 28 years of trying to "stop a bad habit" by myself or with the support of my family and friends that never lasted longer than 3 weeks and 256 days of quitting. I'll go with the method I know keeps me quit.

If you think dependence on ktc is a problem compared to dependence on nicotine, you are a fucking idiot. Try committing fully to your quit group and the methods for a while. See what it does for your life before you try to analyze it because this is not an analytical exercise, it's a fucking real life quit.
Who is Marty Barrington, and where did I say that? Get your facts straight before you stick your dick in your mouth.

Ok so I'm way new here, but maybe an outside perspective will focus this. I see a lot of people posting like "they need the site to quit," " none of us could quit without the site" almost like replacing the dip habit with a website habit. I would say it's fine to use the site for support, but please don't become dependent on it....that's just trading one crutch for another.

...or then again maybe I'm way off base. Either way too much stress for people in the middle of quits

That said, the resources here are great, and should be used to aid in the quit process.
You are way off base, and back in the day a bad ass quitter like Srans would have told you so........
Thumble, aren't YOU supposed to be a bad ass? And the best you have is, "Srans might have been able to do it if he wasn't too busy getting fingered by Marty Barrington?" If you think ILQuitter is off base, tell him why, or SDFU and go cry alone in the dark because srans left a skid mark when he mentored you then he left you behind.

Glad you approve, ILquitter. I was really fucked in the head when you had me questioning whether this site was helping me or hurting me.
Also, traumagnet- this isn't a sacred indian burial ground. Just an intro thread of a guy who says he isn't here anymore because of fucking banana's. 'BanDog'
Edit-(They aren't really fucking, it's simulated)
