Welcome. Just a tip, you never quit before, you only stopped. I stopped dipping 30-40 times in 17 years..........and have only quit once. Big difference.
Agreed. I quit on 12-29-13. I hope my quit ends the day I die. All I can and am able to give you is oday. Then we will have to do all over again. I'll be here to give my word. Will you?

Patrick C,

Congrats and welcome to KTC. You have made a great decision. I would encourage you to do lot's of reading here -- there's ton's of facts about quitting, words of wisdom when you need inspiration, wildcard section for when you just need to get your mind off this shit. Take this on one day at a time. Yes, the first few days will SUCK but believe me -- it is so very much worth it.

Like Pete said, posting roll and keeping your word while building brotherhood and accountability is what it's all about here.

There's quite a few active duty and former military here too (I'm and ex-squid myself). Welcome Aboard!!
Tomorrow marks the 9 year anniversary of you being gone. I can't believe all that has happened since you have been gone, 3 of the 4 have graduated high school, 2 of the 4 graduated college, 1 had a baby, we all have jobs, we all got our licenses. I honestly never thought I would make it this far. I so wish that you could be here with me, Alexa, Connor, and Tori. Seeing all of the things we have accomlished...and everything that we still have yet to accomplish. Graduating high school, moving in at college, graduating college, having kids, buying a house, baseball games, first jobs, first girlfriends/boyfriends. I know that you are proud of each and everyone of us, but I/we need to hear it from you. We want you to be here to tell us "Nice pitch", "Congratulations on graduating", "Have I told you I loved you yet today?" (which Kenra and I try to do everyday now :)) It is sometimes just hard to get through the day. And to think...all this over a stupid dip...who would have thought?

Congrats on making the choice to quit!

Now I'm here for you as well as many others on here.

All you have to do is ask, and the rest is history.

I quit with you and have nothing but respect for a fellow quitter.
Jenny and Tom Kern

RIP My Brother!

Patrick, you have come to the right place. Since your 100 day quit mark will land in February, follow the links over to "quit Groups" then scroll down to "pre-HOF Feb 2016 quit group". These quitters are in roughly the same stage of their quit as you are. Once inside, go to the last page and post roll. This post is your promise to your group (and everyone else) that you will remain nic-free for today. That's it. Nothing more nothing less.

Basically to post roll, go to the last post, select quote, cut (not copy) the whole post from the bottom box and paste it into the top. Then add your name to the list of February quitters with your # of days quit. It is quite easy once you get the hang of it.

We keep it simple here. We quit one day at a time. We don't worry about tomorrow, we stay quit today. We post roll early each day, to make the promise to our peers who are going through the same. We hold our peers accountable and expect them to do the same. We repeat.

I quit with you today, shipmate.

Day One -- Could be day 3651
« on: November 10, 2015, 11:55:00 AM »
Hi All, This is day 1 for me and I am giving up the Nic bitch for good. Never again.

I have quit at least 2 times in the past, once for 8 weeks while in Boot Camp (Navy Man) and then again years later for over a year. That was 10 years ago today when the Nic bitch got me again.

How Stupid can one man be. Uggghhhhhh Been a slave ever since again. It is unbelivable what this Shit does to your mind.

Time to go through the Headaches, shakes and everything else again.


God Help me change the things I can..
Kick the Nic Bitch even when she is down. Day X +1
