Hey all. I thought I might as well introduce myself. I'm Charlie, and I've been switching cigs for chew since I was at least 15. The other day, I turn 40, and reality hit me pretty hard. I've got three kids and a wife, and I damn sure love them more than the comfort of poison in my cheek.
I'm on day 4, and truth is, I can't say I've had any cravings. That may have something to do with praying on my knees to God to take my addiction from me. So far as I can tell, he has done just that.
I came across this site and thought signing up might just be the thing to do.

Welcome Charlie, freedom from slavery is awesome. For me I prayed for a way to be freed from my addiction and know that the answer was finding KTC. God helps those that help theirselves. Beware God wants to help you but evil always lurks near wanting to ensnare you in that web of deceit. Quitting 1 day at a time, posting your promise, keeping your word and repeating leads to freedom.

Let's get one thing straight, you will have cravings. God didn't stop them. Through divine intervention he brought you here. If you drink the kool-aid, follow the map laid out and use the resources here you will be quit. Great choice on deciding to quit, better choice on coming here.
Click the salmon colored link 'Welcome Center' at the top of the page. Learn how to post roll and better yet what posting roll means. We are a brotherhood here and know what you are going through and have an interest in you staying quit. I was in your position just 87 days ago and now have a hold on this terrible addiction. This is only because of KTC. Read everything you can and when you are done read again. You will learn more about quitting then you will anywhere else in the world straight from the source....quitters like you.
Holler if you need anything.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate, and will need the support.
This is the first time I've gone cold turkey. I've got to rid myself of this crap.

Well here is the deal with KTC, we are basically a cold turkey program, we don't utilize nicotine replacement therapy such as nicorette gum.
We come in each day and promise to our brothers that we will remain quit for the rest of the day, the next day we come and do the same thing.
People come in here and bust balls, they go in the chat and talk about the issues they are having, they call fellow quit group members and ask for help. We remain quit one day at a time.
We have milestones, the biggest and the first is reaching 100 days quit without NRT, this is called the Hall of Fame, the time when you reach HOF is your quit group so if you quit 4 days ago you would be in the May 2013 group.
When in your group you post roll call, this is your promise to quit today, tomorrow you come in and repeat. Remember, we are addicts, we are junkies to nicotine, it takes a strong will and assistance to stay quit.
