Yemtig here, 40 yo male, married with 2 kids (5 and 9) and live/work in Albuquerque, NM as a pharmacist...

I have been a nicotine addict for as long as I remember... I love the taste, the rush, and the feeling that I get from tobacco... I have tried dip, then cigarettes and back again to give either my mouth or my lungs the break they needed...

I have used tobacco for about 20 years.. I want to quit... I can't quit without any support system and that needs to be others that can help me walk the good path.. I am open to texts and phone calls... Feel free to pm me and ask or I will do the same... I just want to quit like the rest of you and I want to have someone have my back, that's all... I dont know what else to say other than I am quit today, and will look towards tomorrow when I wake up... You guys in chat have drummed that into my brain...

Congratulations on making a life changing decision Yem. We chatted in live chat some last night. Be sure to post roll, every day, post early and make your promise to quit with us. Someday you'll look back and be amazed how you romanced your addiction. Like I said, post early, keep your word. If I can do it today, so can you.

Check your inbox above for a message from me with my number. Reach out and make some contacts, you'll need them when the going gets tough. Read all you can on the site, intros, HOF speeches, words of wisdom. This place is full of information and inspiration.

Proud to quit with you today.

Welcome to the crazy house. We need a drug pusher around these parts. You should know enough about substance addiction to understand that you don't really "Love" the taste of tobacco. That is the addict brain telling you that you love it. Try smelling it and tasting it after 50 days of quit.

I'm glad you went to Chat and learned how we quit here but I got to say that right now, I'm not feeling like you want this bad enough. Prove me wrong.

Yemtig, It was good talking to you in chat earlier today. Congrats on the decision to quit, it will be a difficult journey but a well worth it one. If you need anything feel free to give me a text/call/chat/pm. Once again congrats and welcome to KTC. Mike aka MCO

So... You love that you're poorer because of it? You love that it stole your health and time from your family? You love that it made you stink... Literally? You love that IT has been a priority in your life like nothing else? I could go on...

This mindset needs to change or you will fail. Miserably.

Allright, way to add constructive criticism to my post... On a site designed for addicts to nicotine, you are going to criticize me for speaking my mind about how I love tobacco... Word of advice.... Most. if not all of us love tobacco, we just choose to stop using it...

If you want to criticize me, please pm me in the future.. I don't criticize you for being a bitch!!

Yes, bro, I'm going to call you out for addict speak. Surprise... I'm going to do it here. All newbs need to hear this. You have to stop romanticizing what you think nicotine did for you. Hey! That's a great idea... Tell me exactly how nicotine made life awesome to the point that you fell in love with it. Go on... What, exactly, did it make better? How, exactly, did it enrich your life?

You're not in any position to give me a word of advice. Let ME give you some dude... You better get over your "love" affair with the object of your addiction. It wants you dead.

We know what we're doing here. You'd do well to pay attention. We want to see you rock your quit and be successful.

Just tried to convo with you in chat and it took quite a while for you to answer 2 simple questions. Quite frankly it was childlike behavior on your part. I surely hope this is not some kind of game you are trying to play. We do not coddle balls here. It is not critisism you see. It is accountability. It is bullshitters of the best kind calling it what it is. AJ is dead on. You need to change your vocabulary and attitude to succeed. Quitting is not easy. The swings can and will be rough. But where is your fortitude for solidarity among us? That is what we are looking for. That is what we want to see. Then and only then can we be of any help to you.

I was in chat with him for hours. I tried very hard to converse and relay the same message to him. I was calm and nice to start and then blew up. But his quit needle was still stiuck on E, and he barely communicated.

I believe him to be a troll.

I hope he proves me wrong. I do love crow now and again...

Since you are still being a bitch why don't you go here until your quit becomes real. I know that many here may disagree with my resolution to your "quit". but fuck them. and Fuck you troll, I don't take well to impostors.

This is my, Chris Baker's, own perspective. I would welcome any caver to come back and quit with honest words, admitting his/her wrongdoings, and quit now. They harm me none. They are just seeking the truth and the quit we all have. But Trolls, who are just here to stir the pot and take from us all need to be gone. Yem was in chat tonight sucking the life out of us all, while demanding help. Not asking, demanding.

I have said my peace and will not comment again. However, If I am wrong, I will raise my hand and admit being so.

I see you are taking Diesels challenge. Nice to see. Re-read Applejacks advice below, he speaks a lot of wisdom, we all romanticized nicotine at one time, but those that became successful realized that it is all a lie.

People are here to help, but we will not coddle. If you are serious about your quit, read through the intros, and you will understand why.

You don't love tobacco you hate pain...you hate when every cell in your body is screaming for nicotine...its called being an addict. I find it hard to believe that after 20 years you still get a rush. YOU are a pharmacist well at least you say you are and you don't know about addiction?....would have to side with Diesel you wreak of a troll.

Well this is our house we don't take kindly to folks stopping in and not listening to what we have to say. From the looks of it you have had vets try to reach you but you got it figured out.

Well I see you showed for roll. That action is the single most important action we do here. you give your word to yourself that you will not use and it lets us know you are in this for today only. If you want support this site is loaded with support take it. Its ok in the beginning to take more than you give, after you are here a few pay it forward and back that is how we do it here!!!

You need help PM me I am in July 2013.

AJ.... How many days have you been quit? 334? Yep your a Bitch! Wish I knew how to quit! I love chew so much that it has made me want to spend time searching out a support group online. I love it so much that I spend hours online and in chat to talk with men who have walked a quitters road, only to proclaim how much I love the "rush" of my addiction. I cannot understand why people are not taking my quit serious???? I said I want to quit.... But I DO love it. This is gonna be Sooooo hard. In the future could you please try to correct me in private? I dont want my feelings hurt in front of these men who actually QLF every day! I know quitting takes balls. Mine will drop some day.

Thanks,

Congrats on making the first step to your freedom. Your intro said you cannot quit without a support system so you've found this site. I've been quit for 12 days now and thats 12 days longer than I would have been without these people. Here's my piece of advice to you - listen to what these guys say. Check the ego at the door. No one is going to offer you support if what you are wanting to do or how you are wanting to think is FUBAR....and most nic addicts thinking is totally FUBAR which keeps us in the cycle of addiction. You're a smart guy but just take it easy and listen to the collective wisdom and follow the program and you'll be quit. We're all with you today if you want to learn and grow.

Look Yem, everyone is trying to help you.... and in the midst of the day 2 suck your too foggy and pissed off to see that right now. They are just trying to get your mindset headed in the right direction, a healthy hatred for the poison that dictated our lives for so many years is a big part of a strong quit.

So, don't get all ass hurt, quitting is hard and we are here to help you.... sometimes with tough love. Anything less is going to lead you back to where you started... a slave to nicotine and big tobacco.

listen to these people yem...if you can still say you "love" tobacco then you have a lot of reading to do...you don't love it...you thought you did...don't confuse love with addiction...there was a girl in college that i was "addicted" too...well i was addicted to the sex...then she made out with one of my best friends in front of me...thats what nicotine is,...it will rock your cock a few times but if you really look back at the times you had after the first few...they were pretty boring and she winds up making out with your boy at a bar right in front of your face. Love will die for you...it won't kill you. There is a big difference

The weak is strong in this one.

Hate will take you farther in this war than love. Open your mind to what these people are saying. I'm sure that you have tried to "quit" (stopped) one or thousands of times in the past like the rest of us. The fact is you failed on your own doing it your way. You are here now and that is different than your past failed attempts. Drop the attitude, soak up KTC like a vadge-sponge does spooge, and build a solid foundation based on posting roll daily and partaking in the Brotherhood.

Dear Brethren of KTC, I have made it well-known to you all.. my own personal hypocracy that I am a pharmacist and a nicotine addict. Disclaimer: please do not consider this romanticizing nicotine addict representative of all nicotine addicted pharmacists...at least me.

On that front, despite all the medical knowledge I had 105 days ago before my quit,...despite all that I thought I knew about nicotine, its mechanism of action, pharmacodynamic profiles, evidence-based treatment approaches with medicinal therapy, and blah blah blah...none of that got me anywhere. It means absolutely shit when it comes to quitting. I learned to quit by posting roll, reading, becoming active, building accountabilty networks, creating and fostering brotherhood, and learning to hate nicotine more than anything in my life.

Yemtig, I was you. I know your life. I know why you dipped, and why you thought you liked it, and why you thought you needed it. I lived it. A bit of humiltiy will go a long way here, learn from those who know what they are talking about.

Love tobacco?

25 years of hiding and scheming
45 thousand dollars gone
Cancer terror every time I went to the dentist
Crazy high blood pressure
Shame

Does this sound like love? This was my life, and the life of many of the bad asses that have reached out to you. I loved nicotine. I hate it now. In time, by posting roll and being a man of integrity... You will grow to hate it too. Because nicotine never did a single good thing for you. In your crazy fogged up f'd up world of the present state... It is hard to see that. But it really is the truth.

You know how we know you? We were you.

Lean on these guys for strength right now. They know where you are. They've been in your shoes not that long ago. My first post on this site was about "the good times I shared with the Kodiak bear." What a joke. One day at a time.... Trust us....

Now you're talking Yem. The addict mind will hold onto to anything it can to get you back. The addict mind will try to rationalize you right back to the can.

Now is the time to take your freedom back. Like worktowin told you, you do not need nicotine. And you never really did. All it ever did for you was remove the withdrawal that IT created.

Show time baby. Post roll tomorrow. You can do this.

It may take a long for for normal to return. Normal comes at different times for different quitters. Focus on today - that's all you can control. Normal and forever will work themselves out in time.

You're not the only one to get off to a bad start here. Glad to see you starting to come around. Even if it involves jokes about my tranny.......fuck tobacco!!!

That's all true^^^^^! 2 different times in my 40+ years of addiction I blew it by having just one. Both of those times were after 3 years of no nicotine.

As far as getting back to normal; what does that mean? I never knew adult life without addiction. I'm learning to live life one day at a time and accepting what comes my way. You will find all the help you need here if you just reach out.

Look guys, got off on a bad start... I am irritable as hell, can't think straight, and am getting hot flashes..... I really can't believe how addicted to this crap I was.... I can't wait to get this outta my system and I feel normal again... I got today and I'll deal with tomorrow when I wake up
remember how bad this sucks the worse it is embrace it. I was given this advice when I got here....EMBRACE THE SUCK look at it as the poison leaving your system. Freedom comes with a price love it don't whore yourself out NAFAR...

You're not off to a bad start...you are off to a great start,...you're still quit right? Thats ALL that matters. Most guys on here can handle the rage...we'll give you our thoughts on the words that you are raging...but we're not butthurt over it. You'll figure out soon that the rage is good...just direct it at the right thing...you know that thing you said you love...its doing this to you. Just keep that in mind

No hard felings bro. What's awsesome to see is that calling you out is netting a result! This is you healing and it's gonna be a tad jacked up. We get it bro. We went through it too. Trauma and I are both from last years July group. We both had a helluva time too. Look at this though... here we both are almost a year later. Rockin' our quit and lovin' life like we've never known. It's you too... stay on the path! Check your inbox (1)...

I"ve been watching this thread silently. I'm glad you're coming around, and amazed at how vets can see through the symptoms of an addicted mind. You have some amazing quitters posting in here trying to give you their support. Build out your network of accountability (and support) with some of them and some guys from your own quit group.

The good thing about your rage is that it means you have some good fight in you. And that really can help you quit. It really helped me to focus the rage and hatred where I think it belongs-- at big tobacco and their henchmen who let this poison run rampant.

I recommend learning all you can about nicotine addiction. There's a lot of good material in the Welcome Center, uppper left menu bar on this page. I also like to share this link because i learned a lot at this page.... Nicotine Addiction 101 (http://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html).

Keep fighting man you are doing it! It's a nasty bitch addiction and you gotta be tough to get out in front of it. You got this!

You posted....that's a start. Now let's see you do it every damn day, and keep your promise every damn day. This is a place for real quitters, not people who want attention. Tobacco is a horrid poisonous weed, and does nothing but maim and kill the people who pay for it to do so. I hope you will "wake up" from your nicotine-laced nightmare as I did and see the truth.. You wanna get free??? The choice is yours

Ok, now am in Day 4 just got home from work and actually feel about 1/2 normal... I now see how foolish I've been in the last 20+ years (probably closer to 22) of nicotine use.... I can't believe I spent that much time and effort to continue my addiction and have seen firsthand from others on this site who have caved...

I plan on posting roll call every day, going to chat, and want to keep a journal here on my progress... This is really the first day I've really been able to type away, since I felt so shitty the first 3... Have read up on some of the things to expect and other vets have been offering advice and support along the way... That shit means the world to me, especially, coming from someone who has done the same stupid shit for X number of years with nic....

I just want to say that the first 3 days reminded me of that movie "Groundhog Day" where B. Murray wakes up to the same freaking day over and over again... It was actually worse in that it felt like my brain was telling me "feed me, feed me" over and over again every minute or two... I have never felt so fucking uncomfortable in my own skin and I will never forget that... That is my motivation to never cave, that was utter hell relived over and over again just like that damn movie...

I just need to really focus on trying to get more sleep and I will be ok... I have reached out to my July quitters group and many vets have been cheering me on... I will try to be a little more active as my body starts to heal..

I like being a quitter+1 everyday I wake up and start my day... I will not give in to nic EVER again, it can kiss my ass!!

Now that you have that little tune going through my head...
Its pretty fitting though, I know you got off to a rough start here, but I like how you are developing in your quit. Nice work bro, keep it up! Glad you are starting to feel semi normal, just beware the mind games and ALWAYS keep them in check, the bitch sneaks her head out and whispers every chance she gets. Quit with you today.

Yemtig, you are totally proving my first impression about you completely wrong. My foot is securely in my mouth at this point. And frankly, I'm extremely proud that you're putting me in my place.

It's people like you, that I'll quit with any day, any time, any placeÂ…and do that every damn day. Keep it up brother, you're atop the July class and leading them by example.

Made it through the weekend..   Made day 7 (yeah baby!) and I just really want to thank all of you guys/gals for helping me make it through my first week!  Live chat is the bomb and a godsend to me...  Lots of funny people in there...  Getting involved has made my quit stronger...  Starting to enjoy my quit, stay strong my brothers/sisters

'oh yeah'
Keep kicking ass YEM, no one and nothing can stop your quit now. You're one bad ass motherfucking quitter and it's a pleasure to quit with you. So here's some tits: 'boob'

Congrats brother on so many consecutive days being a badass quitter. It feels good after so many days being a nincompoop dipper to say FU to big tobacco doesn't it?

Continue to do what you do and be a quitter, each day is a milestone and slowly in time all of us addicts will be better off without the weed.

Yemtig is posting a day 2 now in October. Why? Because although he had brotherhood at his fingertips (and along with it, accountability), he chose to fade away from posting. Even when chased, he couldn't buy in. He felt he was "cured". He felt he had took all he needed from this site, and his brothers. Right there is why he failed ... he always took, only looking to benefit himself, never paying it back. How fucking selfish can you be that you don't engage with those trying to help you? Deep down inside, an addict truly wants to remain anonymous. There is an "out" built into that anonymity. No engagement = no brotherhood. No brotherhood = no accountability. No brotherhood, no accountability = failure.

I'm typing this not for Yemtig's benefit. My attitude has been and always will be that if you go back on your word, you're dead to me. There is no reset button, no 2nd chances. I'm typing this for the benefit of any newbs reading it. Go back and look through this intro. You'll see a lot of brothers reaching out, to be met mostly with silence. Newbs, build your network. Get some digits. USE THEM. Don't ever feel like you can beat this shit solo ... because you can't. Yemtig @ almost 700 days quit proved that.

Don't be a Yemtig. Quit, and stay quit. Independence day has a whole new additional meaning now for you guys. I'm celebrating my third one free of nicotine. Damn straight I'll keep stacking them. Never again for any reason.

Smeds - 812 days of good decisions, all lead-off by posting my promise.

Smeds gets it.

I read another caver's answers to caver questions this morning... Here is a summary..,

I'm seeing a therapist.
Quitting was hard and driving me crazy.
I caved for my family's sake because I was mean.

I'm normally pretty calm on Ktc, but for fuck's sake... Post your promise, keep your word. That it. There are only 2 reasons for caving. 2. One of them isn't job stress. Or to help your family (which is the most offensive bullshit answer I've ever read). Only 2. Did you let your brothers  sisters down by not posting? Did you not honor your team? Or did you lie and cave after posting.

If you cave, the reason is one of these 2. That's it. Quit or don't quit. But don't be a half asser.

Outstanding. There will always be a chink of your quit armor if you do not participate and build accountabilty, the nic bitch will find a way in when the door is left cracked open.
Thanks Smeds.

Posts for 9 days up to Friday of last week, then...

Nothing.

Was on site 2 days after his last post but...

Pathetic.

Truly shows me how much control nicotine can have if you give it an inch. Pisses me off this poison has that much power. Ugghhhh I hate seeing guys lose the battle.

Yemtig chose to give it that power. His series of sociopathic caves were his choice.

We failed for years before finding Ktc and going all in. He had the same opportunity. He chose to be weak. Yemtig needs to be banned. His lies and weakness have no place here.

There is no surprise in his weakness. Thankfully, he is an outlier in a sea of bad-ass quitters.

Good riddance.

Bumping this pretty pathetic story line back to the top. Read through the first 5 pages of this intro and you'll get the impression that this is a stud quitter. Then right around the middle of page 7 you find the makings of a serial caver. If you want the full story, read June 2018 starting around page 275 ...if your like reading drama novels, have at it. I thought it sucked and said "F this bullshit" after the first paragraph. Any quitter knows that 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems.

Anyhow, if you do happen to scroll backwards on this intro, there are a lot of veterans who were on Yemtig's quit train; a good number of them are some of the best quitters I've encountered. That group of "best" quitters are all posting huge 4 digit numbers today. Why? Because we post roll every damn day. Yemtig is back in the double digits (again). Why is that? He stopped posting roll.
