Welcome, Blueline. I'm a career EMT so it's good to see another emergency service member in here.

Shoot me a PM if there's anything I can do to help.

Proud to have you here with us.

Welcome Blue to taking your life back. You'll be much better at your job without the poison flowing in your veins...I promise.
We were not born with poison in our mouths.
This place can/will save your life.

post roll
keep your word
wake and repeat

learn all you can about your enemy...learn to hate the enemy for what it is...poison, slow suicide, robber of life, killer of families, pure slavery.
remember: One problem + nicotine = 2 problems

Don't have much to add. But congrats on making a great choice, Blue! Post roll, keep your word, read all you can. Quitting is done one day, one hour, one minute at a time. You got this, brother!!!

Welcome to KTC, it appears that you have your attitude right and headed in the right direction. If I may add a couple of things that in my opinion can make or break your quit (all items below with underlined words are links to different areas on KTC or referenced, all safe)

1. Your spouse/wife, her support is critical and she deserves to understand more what you are going through, so see the following link and hell print it or e-mail it to her to read Spousal Support

2. Read this for yourself to make sure you fully know what to expect What to expect when you quit; some days are better then others, then eventually all days are better

3. Read the stories on here at KTC, the Kern story is a tear jerker and though you want to be around for your kids this will reinforce it dramatically, Kern's Story; then there are these words spoken by a man who lost his brother to this stupid shit Sean Marsee, damn I wish he would have talked at my middle school.

4. Find an alternative and keep it on you at all times. There will be times when going to the Convenience Store and getting a soda or anything else can cause one lapse in judgement and lead to a huge mistake. Don't be that guy, be the guy with Testicular Fortitude.

5. Find a couple of other quitters and exchange numbers with them, if you need another please PM me and let's do this.

6. Remember that you are an addict, 100 days is a milestone not a goal; the goal is a lifetime being free from the nic bitch. Get pissed off at big tobacco and the dangers they put you in.

7. Remember that you are the one who caused you to be an addict, so don't let anger get outside of your control. It is no one else's fault that you got here. Your wife and kids will only support you if you are not an asshole.

The name is Robby. I'm 26 years old, and I've been dipping for a little over 10 years now. Started young and the entire time I dipped I always tried to tell myself that I wasn't addicted to nic but addicted to the habit. I now know how foolish that was and that I am addicted to nicotine. I've been a Police Officer now for over 7 years, and have used my profession as an excuse. While it is stressful, nicotine is not the answer. I put my life on the line daily, and for the past 7 years I have doubled the risk by dipping. Here I am now, 6 days quit, and I will never go back. I want to be around for my wife and see my kids grow old. I look forward to this quit and thank you guys for being here to support me. I will do everything I can to support each and every one of you.
Get your name on roll call each morning first thing. Do not miss a day. Missing roll call is completely inexcusable and it will put your quit in danger. Quitting nicotine is job #1. You can do this.
Agree. Shout if you need personal assistance.
Welcome to the site! Great decision. Reach out if you need help, you will receive all the support you seek!

STAY QUIT!
