Try developing a relationship with the other folks who are actually putting in 100%. You get some cell #'s, you share yours. At the lowest form, this is the accountability we need. But, it's really much more than that. You can develop a relationship with them. Before you know it, you're thankful they were there for you any time you needed.

IDK...you can thank the web for information. Information is free for the taking.
That's it though.

Here, you give and you take. Give what you want, take what you need.
Do it right, and you'll be able to thank BROTHERS for helping you take control of your life. You'll thank KTC for the opportunity to make it all possible.

See..reading something works for that moment.
Making friends with some dude that is in the same boat as you buys you MUCH more time. He'll have your back, as long as you have his.

Here's what I see when I look into the Crystal ball:
- You'll be quit for 50days and decide you don't need to read any more.
- You'll stop posting, and nobody will notice because you're not there every day.
- You'll just fade away. Nobody is even going to ask "What ever happened to that Rhody guy?".
- You're defense will weaken. You'll be in a situation where you feel you can use once. Just once. Just for the night, then just until the can is empty, then just until Monday... You know the routine.

You're not quitting for 20days, 50days, or even a 100days. You're quitting for life.

Well, if you like getting on the site to read, read this.

We quit 1 day at a time by posting roll.

This is our mission statement: index.php?showtopic=125

This is why we post roll: index.php?showtopic=120

This is how we post roll: index.php?showtopic=50

This is where you belong. In the April Pre HOF: index.php?showtopic=5688

Now you understand what we ask of you. Post roll. If not, do us the favor of explaining why?

Oh dear lord is this quit running off the tracks quickly!

I just read today in April 2012 about how you couldn't make roll everyday because of "weird sleep schedules".

How many fucking excuses you going to make to keep the door open on nicotine?

Stop being a pussy.

Here's the video version.
http://www.killthecan.org/roll/

We don't take kindly to drivers by, shows no accountability. This is a COMMUNITY, quitters side by side, going through this shit TOGETHER, not just on a whim. I commend you on staying 20 days quit. We've all done that at some point in time. Let me know where you're at come 50 or 75 days.

This is not a solo adventure. Give yourself 5 mins to follow the video above and give yourself 2 minutes between the time you wake up and wipe the sand out of your vagina to post roll. Then we'll know you are ready.

20 days since the last dip - New Year's Resolution - and everything is going great.
Last night I had my first dip dream. It was crazy. There was some weird stuff going on - I think I was a spy - and all of a sudden I found a tin. I knew I wasn't supposed to have one but I said Eff it and threw it in anyway. I felt guilty during the dream for having it in.
Good news is I woke up this morning and didn't have that desire for a lipper. Still getting cravings at certain times, but things are going great and I have this site to thank.
Sorry I am confused. 20 days since last dip, two (!!!) posts on site, and you have this place to thank? What has this site done to earn your thanks if you have not been a member? The system we use here is quite simple, you are not a part of the system so how is what we do here helping you?
I read the website daily. I check the message boards here and there, the facebook all the time.
To be honest, the message board wasn't exactly user-friendly for me - I'm technologically slow - and I didn't understand how to do some of the things - finding my class, roll call, etc. I'm better when people show me how to do things as opposed to telling me, if that makes any sense.
Plus, with my family and work (journalist), not to mention Facebook and Twitter, I'm pretty busy. I've been a member of a journalism message board for eight years and barely post there.
But when I've felt like dipping, I come here. I read the site. I read the message boards. I read the HOF speeches. It makes me want to stay quit and so far, 20 days, I have.
Dearest Rhody31:

Ahhhhh.....no.

Too ignorant to learn to post? no.

Too busy to post? Again....no.

Here's a tutorial on how to do it.

Sure, reading everything on here will help, but it won't keep you quit in the long run. This place runs on accountability, and posting is the primary way we provide that fuel.

My wife and kids look at me like I'm from mars when I tell them I couldn't stop putting that stuff in my lip. They have no idea and I hope they never do. So, you did come to the right place but if you want help from the site, you need to go to the welcome center (pink button top left of page). Read it.

Post Roll in the April quit group - This means you promise not to dip for the day. 1 day.

Keep your promise

Come back the next day and repeat.

PM some people in the April group and exchange phone numbers and texts. They will save your butt some day. Get engaged. Its the best way to make your quit strong.

Damn right. Only other nicotine addicts understand what you're going through. We've all been through it. Come here to rage and vent. We can take it. Your dear wife doesn't deserve having to put up with any bullshit because of your decision to shove an addicting, cancer causing substance in your face for years.

Welcome to the site. I'm proud to quit with you today. Yell if you need anything.

Day 3 ... FML
« on: January 03, 2012, 11:53:00 AM »
Like almost everyone, I quit before, but got back on the horse and found every excuse in the world to keep throwing in a lip.
My wife and I had our first child in late July. I told her I would quit when the baby came. Didn't. I tried to quit after Thanksgiving. Made it all of 14 hours.
This time I'm for real. I had my last lip at 11:45 p.m. on Dec. 31, threw it out at 11:55 and haven't had one since. Sunday wasn't bad, but yesterday was rough. I work at a newspaper and having a lip in while I lay out pages or write a story was such a habit. I got through it, got home and went to bed. No late-night dip for me.
Today my wife is at work and I'm home with the baby. In the past, it would be the perfect recipe for a dip. Not today. I'm going to get through the afternoon, then head to work, then try to get through the night. I'm not thinking about Day 4, Day 5 or next week. I'm thinking about today, because I'm an addict and I want this to stop.
I'm pretty pumped about finding this site and board, because as much as my wife tries to support me, she doesn't quite understand the hold the nicotine has. Reading some of the stuff here, I know if I need help, there's a place to go.
