I am turning 35 Thursday and have been chewing since I was 15. I quit for New Years this year and made it just over 30 days. I then made the mistake of telling myself that I would be a special occasion chewer and bought a tin. Needless to say I was right back to day 1.
I am now a bigger slave to chew than I have ever been. I was chewing over a tin a day. I have been taking my laptop to an empty conference room were nobody will find me at work and working in there just so I can chew.
I have wanted to quit and think about it every night. My girlfriend of 3 months is amazing. She doesn't approve of me chewing but hasn't haunted me about it. I mentioned I wanted t quit last night and I came up with the idea of quitting for my birthday. But I then realized I only had one dip left. So I came up with the idea of quoting for Memorial Day. Today was my first day. It wasn't too bad but I know it's gonna be a hard road. My girlfriend sent me a text with this site so here I am. By the time I reviewed this site and called her she had already read a lot. She now has a good understanding of what I am going to be going through and the challenge. I am really excited not only about quitting but the support that I am going to be getting from her. I know I can do it but I know it's going to be easier and mean so much more with her love and support.
Day 1 complete and looking forward to tomorrow. Stay strong......

Welcome Grim... check out the welcome center up yonder and post your day 1 promise over in the Sept '13 quit group. Honor that promise for 24 hours then do it again every damn day.
Shout out if there's anything you need.
-
You can make it happen TODAY. And that is exactly what we do every morning, we make a promise to stay nicotine free for the day. Now I'll tell you from my experience and what I've watched happen here your odds of quitting begin going down really fast every day you miss posting roll. I'll support you and pm me if you need anything.
-
Hey Grim,
We are quitting on the same day. I wish the best for you. You will be successful.
-
Grim it is great to hear you have support outside of this site.The thing to remember is you have to quit for Grim and want to STAY quit for Grim.Don't do this for a GF of 3 months because if she isn't ever there then you have nothing to stake claim on.Stay strong and read all you can on this site, I mean ALL you can.There is years and years of good days and bad days on here.Proud you made today the first day of your quit. Be looking for you in the am, Sept 13.
-
Not much I can add for you grim other than post roll early. Leave no door open. Once you've posted roll you have a blanket of protectection over your quit since you have given you word not to use any form of nicotine all day. Use the hell out of this site. I have went from being addicted to nicotine to being addicted to quit. I will quit with you man!
-
Look man. I'm gonna level with you. This shit ain't fucking easy.
But you're one smart son of a bitch. Not only for quitting but for getting your girl involved.
Because while we are here for your ass every day. There's gonna be times when you will need to physically talk to and lean on someone.
If your girlfriend has been reading , she knows she will be a huge part of your quit. No way could I be almost a year quit without my wife. No fucking way.
So...you got a good attitude, a solid understanding of this site, support from your girl...and us.
Add a brass set of balls to that and you got all the tools you need to start your quit journey.
Like I said to start, it won't be easy, but you don't have to walk it alone my friend. You got support. Use it.

Grimm - it looks like we are quitting classmates. We can do this brother

Morning going well. Made a cup of coffee to sip on during my drive into work. Only a 20 minute drive, so not bad. Work should be ok but I am not looking forward to this evening at home. Cravings and the mental challege will be tough tonight.

Don't worry about tonight,. Things get tough, jump on here and start reading or jump in chat.
But for now, just simply win the next second, minute, and hour.

Grim, today is going to be hell, hang in there man. It gets way better and then and only then will you begin to enjoy the memories of what you are experiencing. Hang in there one promised day at a time. I quit with you!

I have done quite a bit of reading on here and haven't come across nicotine gum being discussed. Does anyone know if it is allowed? And if it isn't, why? What are some theories as to the pros and cons of using it while quiting.

Totally nicotine-free site. Cold turkey is the only way to go. Nic gum is just a different delivery system.

Do not use nicotine in any form, gum or patch.
You want nicotine out of your system. using Nicotine gum or patches continues to keep nicotine in your system, It will keep the physical cravings active for a much longer time.
THE ONLY WAY is 100% cold turkey withdrawal, within a week the metabolyte continine is fully out of the system, and then it is only the head games..
That said, do find non-nicotinic substitutes, sugar free gum, herbal dip (like smoky mountain),
I am 22 days into my quit, and the worst of the physical stuff over in a week.
You may experience sleep issues, and bowel issues, try valerian root or melatonin a hour before bed time take as recommended.
Exercise and stay active.
Walk like hell helps to Quit like Fuck

Just get through the day. Don't think about anything else. early on my focus was replacing my dip time with walking. sounds simple and it is. plus it'll make you tired, but it really worked for me. listen to some music that makes you happy.. I carry gum now all the time. all the kids even know what pocket I keep it in..uncle always has gum..lol

GRIM
Good to see you posted in Roll Call
index.php?showtopic=8274 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=8274)
So did you pitch the nicorette as well?
Man, from personal experience, i tried that route a couple years ago and it lead back to the can,
Pitch it all embrace the suck.
-
I was just wondering about the nic alternatives. I'm not interested in the patch or gum, etc. Just drinking water and some herbal mint, caffine free tea.
-
this quote was posted by Quit:
Something does not need to be explicitly written to be law, something can become law simply by being. This site is a no nicotine site, that is putting it bluntly. Now you know, so explicitly stated or not, you know no nicotine.
There is a reason why it is no nicotine, nicotine replacement does not work and prolongs the pain.
Your body reacts the same way if it is not getting any nicotine or if is not getting enough (whatever you are used to). The patch calls for four weeks on a 28mg, then two weeks on 14mg, then two weeks on 7mg and you are done.
Most people here are on a can+ a day habit. The average can of chew is around 80mg. When you go from 80mg to 24mg, you might as well quit that way you do not have to suffer more when take the next two steps down.
The people here are smart people, listen and learn, I am 43 days quit today and feeling much better, if I had started with the patch I would currently be going through suck of reducing the nicotine from 14 to 7mg and have to look forward to the suck one more time as I dropped from 7mg to 0. Not to mention the fact that I would be about $200.00 lighter in the pocket book.
So my only challange to you, is when you read this, rip off the patch if you are still using it and throw the rest away, or if you went back to chewing, then flush the crap and read all of THIS and post roll HERE.
Trust me, you will thank all of us if you take one day at a time.

I was just wondering about the nic alternatives. I'm not interested in the patch or gum, etc. Just drinking water and some herbal mint, caffine free tea.
I wondered the same thing 359 days ago, and asked.
Got told the same as you. They are not to be used if you want to post roll on this site.
This is a cold jive ass turkey sight.
Fuck that shit anyway. I guy who chugs 3 fifths a day doesn't decide he wants to quit drinking and starts to "taper down" by downing multiple beers a day.
Gotta think of it like a band-aid. Don't slowwwwlllly pull that shit off, it fucking hurts.
RIP that shit off all at once. It's gonna sting for sure, but in the long run it's the best way to go.
Trust us.

I have a co worker that quit with patches and gum... he is still addicted to the gum(over a year), that shit is more expensive than chew...

i went down that road, and it's a dead end.. no nic, period.. once you realize the true enemy, you can chop the head off.. free

If you read the FAQ's of nicorrette, it is not recommended for use in quitting chewing tobacco. Even if you were using it to only quit smoking, it is not very effective. Its statistics are built upon moving the goalposts.
If somebody is quit cold turkey for 6 months they have a 3 month head start on those using a nicorrette. That's like us counting a successful quit at 3 days.
Our program of posting roll, keeping our words, and repeating has waaaaay higher results than any nicotine replacement.
-
Bro, I am on Day 9 of Quit. Cold turkey style. You don't need the patch, you don't need nicorette gum. Just man up and do it. Seeds, regular gum, smokey mountain. All are good alternatives.
What it all boils down to in the end though is YOU. You can have all the support and seeds/gum in the world. But the decision to quit and stay quit is on YOU. Embrace it. Make it your own. You can do this.

Like erussell kcguy said: Juices, beef jerky, seeds, exercise. No Gum, tried it once years ago, no good. F the patch too, i see way too many use it who still smoke. If you want to quit, Just Sack up quit, otherwise... deuces
-
The reason that nicotine gum and nicotine patches sell so well is that people are scared. They feel they can't live their lives without nicotine. However, thousands of people have quit, cold turkey, and they have lived happily ever after...happier because they're not a slave to death.
You can live without it, but you have to want to live without it.
Just do it. Don't fuck around and half-ass it. Quit. Forever.
-
Regardless which of the "alternative" systems is used, eventually, there will come a day when you have to quit the nicotine altogther. That day is gonna suck because you'll have withdrawals. Regardless how far down you've reduced the dosage, you'll still have withdrawal symptoms. With that in mind, there is no difference between that day and today. Both will suck. So, why prolong the agony?? Quit today, and let the healing process begin.
I've posted it before, and I still think it's one of the best things I've ever seen here. A quitter friend of mine posted this a while back, and I keep it handy:
Scowick65:Â Whether nicotine dependency was established and/or maintained by being chewed, smoked, drank, snuffed, sprayed, swallowed, sucked, licked or patched, in the end there is only one way out - no nicotine today.
-
Well, I made it through the day at work. Normally I would have had at least 4 dips so far and would have my fifth on my way home from work. Interested to see how the evening goes.

Just like the rest of the day has.
One minute at a time.
But it is worth it, and it will get better......
P.S. You better not be using any form of nic. I do believe I saw your name on roll.
-
It will go just fine you gave your word today....so today is covered.... I dont care if you have to fill your cake hole with a sack full of ass holes you will not cave. I will be around pm me for my number if you need to talk...
I wont lie it will suck. look back in my intro I changed the shocks on my pickup in the ice and mud to keep my mind right. I kept this site close and still do. or go cut the grass with a pair of scissors...we are all here to help you but you have to pull the trigger.

I'll tell you what's interesting my friend. Life without the poison period! It's interesting to wake up every day without being a slave to something that is stealing your freedom, money, precious life and integrity. It's interesting that each day without the poison you will learn to feel, see and taste without a cloud of krap in between your brain and senses.
Life is interesting. The only way to fully see and feel what it has to offer, you have to make it through this day without the poison. I quit with you today.

My stomach hasn't been the best, even before my quit, so the coffee I had on my way to work yesterday didn't sit the best. I had tea this morning on my way into work and it actually felt good to be putting some antioxidants in my body instead of some poison. Feeling and doing good.
I am eating a rediculous amount of food though. Very hungry.
Yesterday I got into my truck to leave work and I reached for my tin. lol I actually started to laugh out loud as I said to myself.....there is no tin buddy.
It seems like my cravings are intense but very short. I almost freak out and don't know what to do but I focus on something else and it goes away pretty quick.
I had some crazy dreams the night of day 1 and slept like shit but I slept very well last night. I actually fell asleep with the TV on mute as I was praying.
Also, I started exchanging texts with a childhood friend that I haven't spoken to in years. If he was awake, he was chewing. I had heard he had quit so I wanted to connect with him. He was busy so I didn't get many details from him but I will. He said it will be 2 years in October and he would never go back!!!

Yeah, coffee does that to you. I had mad heartburn the first month or so and had to eat some pretty plain food. Watch the caffeine intake initially. I guarantee you are jittery enough without it. Drink as much water as possible instead. You won't want coffee.
Also, workout. I killed many a crave with a slow mile jog and some pushups. Hell, I took it to such extremes I ran my first marathon last week from sitting on my couch all day.
You can do this man.
-
Hang in there Grim...when I quit the coffee would cause explosive ass assualts on the toilet... infact while what I call it as kickin it I had the shits then I locked up tight...for a spell. I reached for my tin for about the first 2weeks the important part is that you are doing it...
PM me if you need anything

Grim,
I'm a coffee drinker and found this info to be true:
http://www.killthecan.org/robs/cafnic.asp (http://www.killthecan.org/robs/cafnic.asp)
During the early days of my quit, I cut my caffeine consumption in half and it helped.
Hang tough buddy. Seeds, jolly ranchers, Smokey Mountain and Atomic Fireballs have helped me tremendously getting to Day 29.
You got this. I quit with you today.
-
Get some Grimm! I hated cranberry juice until I started my quit, now I'm always stocked up on it. Good work keep it up

thanks Boom,
Man i was wondering why my anxiety level was peaking today. I used to be about a 6-10 cup guy in the morning, now 2 is 1 too many.
-
Talked to an old friend today at lunch. He is the one I haven't talked to in years, one of our favorite past times together was cruising in our trucks chewing when we were 16. I had heard he quit so I was trying to get a hold of him. He called me back today....he said it will be 2 years in October.
We then had a great conversation catching up and talking about the challege of killing the can. Great stuff and a great day.
I also talked to my parents at lunch and told them I am on day 3. They were very happy to hear I quit. My dad also had some advice and support. He quit smoking cold turkey in 1987. He went from over a pack of Reds a day to 0 and has not had once since.
I have his genes....I will never go back.
-
Well, day 3 is finishing up. Had some difficult times today but made it. The day was good, way home form work got harder, after dinner was harder, and when I went outside to do some yard work it was even harder. But here I am watching the Red Wings enjoying an ice tea. Beat two major triggers today....doing yard work and watching the games dips free.
I found myself staring off into space a few times outside and forgot what I was doing but I made it. It must have been the lack of nic fog I have read about on here.
Looking forward to day 4 and adding more days to my quit.

You're doing great GRIM. Keep posting roll early and often. You're going to come across triggers you didn't even know were triggers. Bust through them. Your promise must be stronger than your addiction. I'm proud of you.

^^^^^X2, own your quit and remember these days. I quit with you today, ill do it tomorrow too. Keep making those promises.
-
Cool Grim you're hanging in there. Guys who've been there can understand what it's like but still not easy at all. After reading stuff on this site you at least could prepare for the worst so maybe it's not as bad as you thought. I was worried I'd have to quit my job due to onset of dumbmentia from quitting. Nothing of the kind happened so just plan on staring when its time to stare. No one will cross you if you keep a kind of mean facial expression at the same time.
-
Grim, first it is a grim day for the nic bitch but a brilliant day for you my friend. This is going to be rough for a few more days. I see your bad ass posting roll, you keep that up, you post roll, then you keep your damn word. It's that simple! Notice I said simple not easy. It gets better though! Let me know if you need anything.

Yesterday was my birthday. May 30. Met up with a friend for dinner and had a nice burger and beer. Man I was craving after that.
I was ready to start climbing the wall but it passed after about 10 minutes.
Felt great this morning, feels good to be NIC free. I actually feel healthier.
This weekend will be a challege but I'm up for it. One day at a time.

I quit with you today.

Had a rough Saturday. I drank two cups of coffee and I believe it added to my anxiety. I had it bad for a few hours in the afternoon. After I got through that I was ok. Sunday went mostly well. Sat behind my computer at home going through mail and doing bills, did stuff around the house...did lots of things that I enjoy doing because I do them with a dip in.
Used seeds and a few suckers and made it through. I am seriously to the point that I think I will never turn back. I want this so bad for all the right reasons. I don't ever want to go back to day 1.
-
Hit some rough spots last evening. Had to do some driving and I was hungry. Been using seeds and they help big time. However, I am going to look for some unsalted ones because my throat is a little dry today and I think it's from all the seeds. Concentrating is difficult at times. Of course I have thought about how good a dip would be but I have not even thought twice about caving. I will not dip today.
-
Grim,
I dont see you on roll this am did you get bumped? Hang in there brother this is not easy to do if was we all wouldnt be here.
PM me if you need anything!

Ya, I got dumped twice today. I justed checked and it looks like I was below Dock7 and LumpyJr dumped me.
I'm hanging in there. Hard, but not close to caving.

I discovered that last week. Cold turkey is how we roll.

Grind it out and make it through the day, then try and catch a nap when u get home.
I'm dragging ass too. Got up at 4am to take a leak and ended up getting into it with a know it all noob. Gotta learn not to peep at the forums until I'm fully awake.
Hang tough bro.
-
Hang in there grim. You screwed with your brain a long time. You want to fix it after all these years it's going to cost. Your worth the withdraws. Your worth the insomnia. Your worth the craves and the mind games. As each day passes you will uncover the lies you've believed. I quit with you brother.
-
Thanks for the support guys. I ended up having a cup of coffee and getting some work done. Went out with some friends from work for lunch. One of the guys with us is a chewer. I told him that I quit and he didn't seem too happy.....so I just dropped the subject. No sense stressing each other out. Just weird how the weak don't like to hear about the strong. I quit today all day....

Wise, wise words my friend.
I can't even tell you how many users told me that quitting was impossible. It is possible, as we are proving here. It's like they are the anti-ktc (I'll call them the Legion of Denial.) to our Justice League. They justify their actions through your usage.
What's awesome is that some of them may use you as an inspiration here to join the ranks. They will use your actions to justify their quit.
And, that sir, will feel awesome and strengthen your quit immensely.

Ended up having a great day yesterday. Had to mow the lawn for the second time since my quit and I realized that I enjoy seeds...I didn't even miss the chew. Feeling better than I have in years. Feeling so good I just want to get up and dance. God is good. Looking forward to a great weekend. Go get some quit people.

Great grim. You are winning brother. Its one thing to say you don't need it, but it's another when you realize what you are saying is the truth!!!
-
Go get some quit people.
we got some quit. We got some GOOD quit here. I got some quit earlier today. Srans, you quit today. right? How 'bout you Deisel - I'm sure you got some? In KNOW Waste got his share of quit today, Grimmy. But... I'm not sure you got some quit today. Did you? I mean... I'm going to ASSUME you got some quit. But I don't have anything to make me BELIEVE you got some quit.
You know what would make me believe? Roll call. No roll today means you've missed roll three out of the last four days. We have seen this pattern before. I WILL WARN YOU! This pattern is a STRAIGHT PATH TO A CAVE.
Get on Roll! Get into Chat. Missing three of four days this early in your quit is VERY dangerous. Please take advantage of the tools available to you here. Do not take this lightly. That's what she wants you to do.

Not looking good Per. No post today,, I don't know. I would hate to think he's moved back to canville. What a SUCKY place to live. Told when to go to bed. Told when to get up. Chained to a can of dirt wherever you go. Told what to spend your money on. Told when you can have time with your family.
Make no mistake, in canville your life belongs to a can of dirt.

Getting eaiser. Went to a hockey game and got a buzz and I was still ok. Just had a few handfuls of seeds. I was thinking about it today and there is just no way I can ever go back. Saving money, not being a slave to the can, feeling better about myself, etc.

Careful with the buzz brother. It has killed many a quit early on.
Keep it clean. ODAAT and NAFAR! 'bang head'

Listen to 30isenugg. He's seen a few come and go. He might just know a thing or two. Quit with you brother.

No worries, I'm not a big drinker so I do not drink often. And when I do a big drinking night for me is 6 beers. Not enough make this man cave.

Glad to hear it. Still we are addicts and have to be careful not to exchange one for another. Protect your quit at all costs. Life gets better everyday we are quit. You got this every a.m. you post roll. Cheers brother :)

Hello guys. Well, today is day 29 and I am doing well. It is difficult for me to make time to post roll on the weekends. I have a few numbers I can text to post roll for me but to be honest I don't think about it...which is kind of a good thing beecause if I am not thinking about posting roll then I am not thinking about dipping. The reason it is difficult on the weekends is because I get woken up by my little boy between 5:30- and 6am and it is on for the weekend.
My cravings have decreased in quantity but increased in intensity. I don't get them as much but when they come they come strong. Thus, this weekend I packed a baggies full of gum, candy, suckers and seeds. I put one in the house, one in the truck and brought one to work. Now where ever I am I am prepared to not cave. I truely believe, like anything else, if you prepare well, you will succeed.

I read someone say once that nic will lie to you and say this place is keeping you thinking about dipping. That's NOT a good thing! That's a lie! Don't fall for it!
This place keeps you thinking about QUITTING.
Guard your quit. When you stop and allow her to lie to you - "You've got this, you don't need it on the weekends. It's just keeping dipping on the forefront of your mind" you have given her an in to take hold of you. Read the stories here. People with far more days than you caved when they forgot to ACTIVELY keep their guard up.

10 seconds.
That's all it takes to send a text saying "Grim-Day XX".
Are you telling me you don't have 10 seconds from 5:30 am on to do that?
You are currently on day 29. The 20s are an odd time because we want to be "healed" by now. Look at the spreadsheets. We lose more quitters in the 20s than any time other than the first week. It's because, like you seem to be implying, that many of them feel they're "quit".
You may not have thought about it on days 28-29, but I guarantee that you will again. Very shortly. There's a nasty little funk in the late 30s and early 40s that feels like it's first week again. It hurts. I had to lock myself in my house one day 2 years ago.
The important thing to know is that it is coming, and you need to prepare for it. When times are good...great. Enjoy it. Have fun. But, do anything and everything you can do to keep this good going. Like I said, 10 seconds.
Is your quit worth that?

What the fuck...you can text someone to ask them to post roll but can't post it yourself?
Fucking bullshit.
I texted someone asking them to post role for me because I was in Butt Fuck Michigan with no internet access. Not because I got up early and "it was on"
You're on day 29. You better get your head on straight and stop trying to talk yourself into reasons why its ok NOT to post roll.

This quit should be the most important thing in your life.
Your answer, my boy is the most important.
My answer,, then post roll. Show him how important he is by making this quit your first priority.

I gotta get in on this too- I am feeling great right now about my quit- day 24- that scares me. I have been reading this site almost constantly since I quit and the most common theme - people cave when they aren't active in quitting. I don't spend much time in the forums during the weekends either but I make sure that I post roll- even when it is a major pain in the ass on my phone-

Now if you are into your 20 something days quit. I think I can weigh in on the cravings and why they are so intense.
When they hit you, you forgot.
They are intense because you forgot.
I know this because I forgot.
STOP THINKING ABOUT THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF BEING QUIT FOREVER!!!!
You only quit today and you only need to survive today. The intensity will break soon but understand and don't focus on winning and staying quit tomorrow, a week or making it to the hall.
You won't make it to the hall if you don't focus on today only. Tomorrow will come soon enough but its moot if you don't put your all into quitting today. You will be amazed how much saying you aren't quit forever, only today does for your resolve!
Pace yourself and conserve energy for tomorrow? The strength to last 24 hours will be there regardless how much energy you use today. You will recharge if you win today. The next today you face is the same drill. Only focus and don't forecast tomorrows fight. ONLY TODAY.
Nicotine tricked your brain into becoming addicted. You are tricking your brain back to healthy freedom. It can only be done for today. Fuck tomorrow until tomorrow is today.
This will help you through the funks that come.....You are in a funk right now. Recognize and survive by only worrying about your quit on Today's vs. Tomorrow's.

Well, today is day 31. I tried to quit for New Years this year and I believe it was around day 31 that I caved. Last night was rough. I am on predisone for a health issue....and man does that stuff make me hungry and puts me in a bad mood. So here I am, quiting, trying not to gain weight because of my quit, trying not to gain weight because of the predisone, trying to fight off the bad mood because of the quit, trying to fight off the bad mood because of the predisone, and I have my wife and 3 year old wondering why I am in such a bad mood. Yesterday was all of that and I am going to try to make today better. I have been feeling better than I have in years these past few weeks so I an looking forward to getting back at that place. Just can't wait to get off this predisone.

In the midst of all that shit I can gladly say one thing.... You posted roll today! So caving is not an option. At least that is one thing you can worry less about. As for the bad mood... Watch a lot of porn! Just kidding! 'crackup' Vent to us like you are doing. It helps! Put the negative energy out in the universe, don't hold on to it. Great job on the 1 month mark. You are proving you have balls!

Grim, just wondering if you have outlets. Outlets really help. If your not on a exercise program that's one thing that can really help you. You need things in your life that make you feel better about yourself and take your mind off the things that don't.
Exercise, sports, instruments. I play guitar which really helps with a lot stress in my life. Kinda takes me away from everything. I also like riding. After a good ride I feel great.
I don't know if I have your answer, but there is an answer. Find something that helps you grim. I'm quit with you today brother.

Well today is day 38. The past 4 -5 days have been just as hard as the first 4 - 5 days. However, I feel it lifting a little bit. Heading up north for the holiday weekend. Looking forward to spending some quality time with family and loved ones. I will make it through the holiday.....heck, caving it not option.

Have your safety plan in place Grim...not dogging you but looking out for you. let people that you can trust know you are quit n have them look out for you. Also have your numbers ready in your phone. If you need another pm me. You are right CAVING is not an option.

Hello friends. Just wanted to let my HOF Stepember brothers know that I am still quit and with them and on day 61. I have done many things now with a fat lip. Even went to a Pearl Jam concert. So I made it through both, drinking and good live music. I know I haven't been a roll model for site activity. I was religious about posting roll but you can see I haven't posted a lot for 61 days and especially lately. Keep up the good work friends.

not a 100%what this post was about I didnt see you on roll no posting here until roll is posted then you can chirp away.
I dont take to kindly to you coming here thumbing your nose at the brothers and sisters of the site that pay it forward and backward. If you have so much left in your tank why not help with some of the newbies. just my .02

Nice job telling us you're still quit. It's meaningless, tho. Doesn't help you and doesn't help me help you.
Roll call has meaning. When I see your name on it, I'll know you're quit.

You're like a genious or something?

1) Yes, I did mean withOUT a dip.
2) I posted roll today and 95% of the days of my quit. So if I am a douche because I missed 5% because I put my 3 year old son before this site for a week then I will go somewhere else. Not to mention I got a promotion at work and have been putting in 12 hours a day. I haven't even had time to take a shit this week.
3) The purpose of my post was not just to tell everyone that I am still quit. I just wanted to let my September brothers know I am still with them.
4) As far as paying it forward. I have done a lot of that. I PM newbies, I support others.
Traumagnet - I pay it forward. How do you know who I do and don't PM?
Diesel - What is your smartass comment suppose to mean.
Dauthman - Whatever,.....
I get the holding one another accountable, but there are a lot better ways than calling a fellow quiter a douche and making several rude comments. The success of my quit has based around positive reinforcement and you guys are making this site the opposite. Do I need to go somewhere else????

2) I posted roll today and 95% of the days of my quit. So if I am a douche because I missed 5% because I put my 3 year old son before this site for a week then I will go somewhere else. Not to mention I got a promotion at work and have been putting in 12 hours a day. I haven't even had time to take a shit this week.
3) The purpose of my post was not just to tell everyone that I am still quit. I just wanted to let my September brothers know I am still with them.
4) As far as paying it forward. I have done a lot of that. I PM newbies, I support others.
Traumagnet - I pay it forward. How do you know who I do and don't PM?
Diesel - What is your smartass comment suppose to mean.
Dauthman - Whatever,.....
I get the holding one another accountable, but there are a lot better ways than calling a fellow quiter a douche and making several rude comments. The success of my quit has based around positive reinforcement and you guys are making this site the opposite. Do I need to go somewhere else????
Your roll sheet says otherwise I see 68% long way from 95% you say you have. If you sheet is off then you need to clear that up. Your post yesterday looked not supportive at all looked like a person showing up to say how there way is working. You don't need to leave no one said leave they said post roll and help with others. As far as yesterday I didn't see your name u may have been bumped. Accountability is another portion of the site we are tough because the addicts in us all can smell an opening the smallest of wiggle room. I need and want it if you don't want us on you just say it.

What I just read was a bunch of quitters reaching out to you grim. I don't know much about you. I know plenty about trauma. Great guy and a hell of a quitter. He took a lot of time out of his busy schedule to check up on you...
Then you came on here and broadcasted that you haven't posted like you should, but your still quit and everything is going ok.
We don't like someone to come on here and say that they are doing it different and it works, because WE KNOW,,, it spells failure.
What did trauma and Diesel mean. I'm pretty sure you can figure it out.
Really,, what did you expect anyways. Great job Grim! Your not following the ways that we teach and are still quit. That's great!! Your not posting regularly and the rest of you group is, but that's ok. They are happy that you are not standing side by side with them everyday and posting up with them. YEA,,, DOUCHE COMES TO MIND!!!! Trauma knows one when he sees one.

Hims real busy. The only person on the site with a super hectic schedule.
I'm glad your still quit but the "I've been too busy" card is bs.
Quit on.

Good job posting roll today. You did not post yesterday- I did a search and your name did not show up.
This is how we do it, don't get a sore vagina from people giving you shit just man up and post roll every-damn-day.
Glad to be quit with you today.

I may be pretty young in the quit and certainly took me awhile to really understand, your addict mind will try and deceive you by letting you believe that your way is working.
Why do these guys get so wound up and combative? I don't personally get it, wake up and post roll with your group. Isn't that the basic price of admission?

jlud007 - You are doing great and you have it figured out early on. One question I ask is, what will happen if you miss roll tomorrow? Will no one care, get 1-2 pms, I dont know what level of accountability you have built up early on in your quit. I bet its growing though. In our struggle we have to surround ourselves with this best support group around. It starts at home and KTC is right there as well. If I miss roll tomorrow morning, by 12PM Saturday July 27, 2013 Sprint will have to shut down there servers as too many people are ringing my phone, texting whatever you get the point. With Grim we see a person not committed to how it is done at KTC. This is obvious to everybody except Grim. We are frustrated with this thread because we see failure in it. Glad to be quit with you today. Send me your digits and add to your level of accountability.

I will Duathman! Please don't confuse what I meant in my post though, I meant I didn't understand why the guys that miss roll get upset when guys call them out on it, not vice versa.
Getting upset because you were called out for not posting roll should be a wake up call, a red flag....not an excuse to whine how you should go quit somewhere else. That's your addiction twisting your ego, which will lead you back to the can sooner or later.
Quit on quitters!

So GRIM... With all that was said below where do u stand?
No one wants u to leave. But no one wants to hear about your 12 hr days and how you did not want to choose posting roll over your kids. That is weak and ridiculous. We all work hard and many of us have kids. We all find time to post roll. How long does it really take to make that commitment for each day? 2 minutes tops maybe. Also, no one wants to hear that you have posted roll 95% of the time. You record of Roll is clear and it has been well documented. We can all see who has posted roll and we have a link on the September site that shows your record in an spreadsheet. We all know where it is and if there is an error you could have addressed it before now. Lastly, if u don't get the fact that you are going to hear the cold, hard truth here... Then you have not been paying attention to this at all.
So, where are you with ur commitment to this process? If u r back and ready to post roll daily and commit to this then I will support you 100%.

Hmmmm. With all due respect... now according to Ricky Bobby I can say whatever I want. Ok, where do I begin. First off, noone wanted the ET thing to happen -- except ET. He made that bed, came out from under it at the end, but then disappeared. That was a mess. Who wants to see that again, not me for sure. For this issue, now I concede that GRIM posted roll I support that. In fact, that was the most important thing he did all day and that was the first thing I did this morning. However, he then proceeded to make a post on his intro AFTER he posted roll and that post should be addressed in my opinion. I brought up the issues in a positive way and asked where he is with it... no name calling, just laying out the case. If I am the only one that cares, then so be it. I am quit today regardless!

I thought about all this......
Although I am not a fan of negative reinforcement and the WAY some of you push accountability I am here to stay and will post roll every day.
With that said.....I have one number in my phone so could a few of you PM me your number please. I will need a few numbers to have those individuals post roll for me coming up. I will be traveling around Europe for work for two weeks.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Take care and God Bless our quit and quiters.
