Glad to be quit with you today Bretn37.
Give me a shout if you need to rant or just a sympathetic ear.
I'd be happy to talk hockey, though I'm a Colorado Avs fan, and much more of a western conference guy....
Welcome aboard Bret! It is so good to have you here and with that I say, "welcome to the rest of your life." This will be tough no doubt about it, but as you can see the support network you have here is incredibly vast.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to PM me immediately. I quit with you today and everyday just the like!

PS: I have to support my home club the Wild, but I can talk a couple cents worth about the B's :D

Yeah, the good old days when Avs starting lineup were all HOFs. Not like that any more, but still a fun team to watch. The Bs are looking pretty good this year, although I think the east is again not as strong as the west...

no known apps yet but here are intructions how to post roll with a phone


(1) hit quote.
(2) go to the second text box.
(3) hold your finger on the text until an option box appears. Choose "cut all".
(4) go to the top text box (which is empty) and hold your finger there. A text box will appear and you choose "paste".
(5) add your name to the bottom of the quitters section.

Hello. I am a May quitter. On day six. I feel great right now. I have support and that feels great.
Could someone tell me if there is an iphone app for KTC? I looked, but could not find one.

Thanks.
I quit.

Congratulations Bret, I know you will be quit for good this time. I'm also a Wild fan, but more of a football fan. The Vikes are my favorite thing to talk about. Vikings sucked this year, but hopefully A.P. will be back next year and we can start to rebuild.

Dethan nailed it. After failing multiple times on my own previously, I'm finally quit. Posting roll on this site is the only thing I did differently. Encouraging others made my quit even stronger (Day 532 for me and I'm still doing it).

There are not tricks or short-cuts to quitting. You just do it, each day, everyday. Quitting is done one day at a time. Stay strong and stay quit, brother!

I find myself her on this 3rd day quit.  I have "quit" many times before, but never like this.  I have read some HOF speeches, great stuff. And already gotten to know a few members.  Brothers, as we are.
I learned a lot this morning by reading.  I feel like I am part of something.  I get that we are doing this together, and can only hope that feeling grows stronger.  I am thinkful for Mike and Ehtan, who have immediately friended me.  I need that support.  That reminder.  That strength.
I dipped for about 10 years off and on when I was younger. Quit via hypnosis for 9 years at 28 years old.  I picked it back up about 2 1/2 years ago after smoking an occaisonal cigar, subconciously getting hooked on nicotine again. It's been quit, start, quit, start. I am 38 years old now. QUIT. I AM QUIT.

This group makes me fell stronger already, but I need your support.  I hate that I dipped, and would hate myself even more if I did again, so TODAY, I QUIT.

I promise I will post Roll Call tomorrow as well, QUIT.

I'm a huge Briuns fan, if anybody wants to talk about the Bruins, and build up strength together.

Glad you are getting something out of the site. Now get more! I saw your post under request a topic yesterday and gmann gave you some sound advice. In addition to helping out someone in June, many of your May quit brothers are experiencing the same exact things as you right now. Get in there, post, and make sure you're reaching out and exchanging numbers. They will need your help someday and you may just find the help you need. Also Live Chat is a great place to go bounce your quit around.

You're doing it!

Hello,
My name is Ryan.
Like many of the stories that I have read, I fell the same. I try to quit, but keep going back. I hate it.
I signed up today. I have just relieved myself of what I hope to be my last dip.

I am looking for the daily post area, I'd like to dive in and get communicating.

Thank you.
Hey, Ryan,

I've already sent you a PM with some instructions, but I wanted to clarify a few things.

When you post roll, you are giving your word to your fellow quitters that you will not use nicotine in any form for that day. Your job is to keep your promise and repeat the same procedure tomorrow.

Neither wishing nor hope is not going to get you there. It takes work, commitment and determination. It definitely sucks at the beginning, but by following the process you can do this!!

Hey Ryan I'm pretty new on here too.

Most people will tell you to get a plan.
Start by getting involved (check)
Introducint yourself to your HOF class (I think you're in may 2012 with me)
Be sure to post roll everyday (find a link in the welcome section about how to post roll).

Get a plan for when the cravings hit you. Get some fake dip, get some sunflower seeds, gum (not nicorette). Whatever it is you need to do to keep a dip out of your mouth.

I fore one use some mint snuff from the oregon mint snuff company and pig out on food. Probably going to gain a shit ton of weight but oh well better than dying from cancer or living without a jaw.
