Saw you posted day 6. Great job but don't miss too many days. Your GPA is dropping.

So your being an asshole to everyone. Welcome to the club. We have all been there. It will get better, you gotta trust us.

I miss going to class a few hours Tuesday through Thursday, sleeping until 10 or 11, and getting laid on a regular basis, and once or twice every semester they's have these tests that I'd get a 2.0 on. Yeah, college was tough compared to now.

Quit now brother because real life can be sweet, but it ain't easy, and a money and life sucking whore like the NIC bitch makes it that much worse.

The next thing that may seem strange is when a stranger asks for you to PM him/her with your phone number. WTF? They want my phone number too? I met up with you on day one and have a couple hours invested in you already. Your quit is almost as important as my quit. To me, mine is the most important.

PM me your digits so I can keep up with you. You miss roll, I bug the hell out of you. That's the "Brotherhood" part of this.

I quit with hadams today and EDD.

Ditto. I wish I had someone holding my feet to the fire in school, I'd be freaking rich now just from dip savings.

Finals suck. Good luck, hang in there

You need to start taking the posting of roll a bit more seriously in my opinion. I have seen others come in here with the I'm too busy to post roll attitude, and the I have this under control now attitude after only a few weeks of being here at KTC. Guess what? They disappear, after about 3-4 weeks and become a cave statistic. I know you are busy with school, Tennis etc. but I can tell you that all of us on here are busy in our own way. I work 45-50 hours a week and have 4 kids, so I know what busy is. And yes sometimes I have forgotten or miss a day and it doesn't mean we caved, but please for your sake take posting roll seriously. It can seem a bit strange that posting roll with a bunch of strangers would keep your quit strong, but I will tell you, IT IS WHAT WILL KEEP YOUR QUIT STRONG! Proud to be quit with you today!

You answered yourself a li'l... none of these things was better because you dipped. NONE of them. It is your addict mind trying to get its fix. Trust me bro... I'm almost 400 days quit and all these things are just a normal part of my normal day. It will get better. Be patient and work your quit... own it and be active with it. That's success... that's freedom.
Thanks for the reassurance AppleJack. It can only get better each day.
You will need to make quitting a #1 priority to stay quit today. I get that finals is tough and you are studying hard... but you need to post roll every morning  committ yourself to staying quit  clean today. No excuses on that one. We are all busy. Posting roll takes just a moment each morning, but if you take it seriously it will be the most important moment of your day.

Quit on! Good luck with finals.
Posting Roll has become a huge part of my day.

Glad you're still hanging in there. Want to know what I miss about dipping? Not a damn thing. Every day is better because I am Nic free. Keep up the good work but don't forget to post roll.

And poof.........I'm guessing he is gone. Prove me wrong hadams.
I am still here and I am still quit. Finals week is here and I was studying all weekend. I just completely forgot to post roll honestly. I haven't had any problems the last two days. Not really any craving and my sore throat is completely gone. I haven't been on edge. The only thing that gets me is when I have to take a long drive, because now it is just a long drive. A shower is now just a shower with no dip. A shit is just a shit now. Sitting out on the park bench is just sitting out on the park bench. I used to enjoy a lot of little things more I feel like, but I am sure that is just the nic trying to trick me.

Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Also, one of my friends that is usually my fishing buddy has decided to quit also. I told him I was and he immediately said he wanted to do it also. Which was shocking because I never thought he worried or cared about it.

Tennis tourney this weekend. I'm assuming that because you are busy you are unable to Post Roll. Well you gotta find a way to post. PM me and I can do it for ya. PM anyone any they will do it for ya. You gotta strive for an A+ in Posting Roll. Big question for ya is, Are you still quit?

So your intro says this is another attempt.

Do you still view it that way? Or do you view it as your final Quit?

How's the quit feeling today ? Each day will get better but be prepared for some ups and downs. Just remember, if it was easy, everyone would do it. You gotta stand strong.

Glad to be quit with ya today.
