Hmm .. Hello World ?
Yes . Hello World .
I am at the moment rounding the final hour on my 1st quit day in 7 years . It feels good to be here among many who have triumphed and have kicked their habit .
I have a wife and a daughter , also , a son on his way to our lives .
Thanks for all the help so far from the guys and gals over in the chat room and the kind works I've seen in the forums .

Welcome sir. Stick around. Pay attention. Drink the kool-aid. It can be done.

Welcome aboard. Now's a great time to start reading. A LOT.
Drink the Kool Aid. Pick up what everyone is puttin' down. Smell what we're cooking here.
Whatever the saying is that works for you... just make sure you take the knowledge that is offered here. It has been invaluable to me - it will be for you.

Yes. Listen to loot. He knows of what he speaks. And he thinks he's kind of a big deal around here. ;)

Somebody tell SmokeyG that you're cooking. Maybe he'll drop by and write us some lunch time porn. That brother certainly has a way with words. For an example, check out his post here from several weeks ago:

Good to have you here. Now let's get one thing straight, this is no habit you are about to battle. It is a full blown addiction. A habit is putting your right shoe on before your left. Stopping an addictive drug is a very different animal.
Get your big boy panties on and get ready for a fight. But, remember we are all here for you. Just yell when you need a hand.

I'll add one tidbit to that, Parputt: we will never "kick" this thing. We are addicts. We will ALWAYS be addicts. If we're quit 10 minutes, 10 days, or 10 years, failure is just one judgement error away. Be ever mindful of the potential cave and you'll never have to suffer through day 1 again.

Welcome to September 2011 brainsore. Proud to be quit with you today...embrace the suck, work through the fog, and the light on the other side will be more clear than ever before. It's worth it.

Thanks for the words of wisdom guys and gals . Day 2 has been a mix of emotions . I feel good to be quit and clean and sometimes I have an urge to jump back in . I will feel a twinge of just one and my mind says 'never again ' . Then my head tries to figure that out .
My addiction can't believe I've turned off the supply of poison .
Great to be here for another day of quit .

Take it one day at a time man. For me the hardest thing to overcome in the first week or two was the concept of "forever". My advice to you over the next couple weeks is take each day one at a time...a daily challenge to yourself to stay off the sh*t. As time passes it will get easier, but the urge to dip wont be leaving you anytime soon. It hasn't for me and im at day 65 or so. Eventually, however, the idea of "forever" becomes much easier to understand, accept, and be happy about.

Don't worry about "never again" yet. Just take it one day at a time, bro. The door will close sooner than you think.

Sitting here reading the posts and gaining strength for the coming storm . A few waves came in today but I feel really good . I believe it's because I gave my word at the beginning of the day . I promised my group I would stay quit and I have . Thanks guys .
I'm here for you guys as well .
Working my way through Day 3 . Day 4 in a few more hours .

Use the tools offered by KTC...read, read, read. Post in Wildcard. Post in other groups. Do whatever it takes to stay quit.
You're doing great brainsore. One day at a time buddy.

Thought I would pop in and say a few words. Great job September quitters stay focused . I've been clean for 13 days now and not going to say it's been easy but this site has made it seem to go more quickly . In the time I've been posting and reading a few quitters have come and gone and many are still resolute in their quit . One day at a time I will get to 100 days and further . Quit today . Quit September .

Good to hear, Brainsore!
You, me, our fellow September quit and everyone who wakes up and says "Fuck you, nic bitch". We got this.

Still trudging through another day of quit . After topping a month of quit I want to say thanks to all the guys/gals in this community of quitters . Many times I have looked back on my abuse of nicotine and thought how lucky I am to have gotten out when I did.
Rocketman and Samcat! thanks for the daily support . As for filling the void created after giving up on the nic bitch . Reading the forums in here and trying to hit chat is where I've ended up . Hopefully soon enough I can pick something else up .
Take care all ..Stay strong and stay quit .

That something to fill the void will be that son you're expecting. I imagine, if your experience is similar to mine, you're actually now doing more and being more involved fully with loved ones compared to your time using. Take up a new hobby if you still have time--read a book, learn an instrument, take a class, volunteer.
Well done so far

Now at day 67 and I feel great about my quit . I had the pleasure of having to talk to a few guys with crap in their mouths . It was a horrible experience and I am glad to not be a part of that club any more . I still quit every day and it is great to be a part of KTC .
Thanks guys and if your new around these parts , remember to get numbers and stop by in the chat room , lots of great quitting going on around here .
