Well, here it is. My name is Mike Reisma. After 8yrs of dipping, I've decided its my time to give it up for good. I have quit,multiple times, bbut never for myself. All the right reasons, in my head, but not in my heart. I've got a beautiful wife, and 3 kids, all under 11years. It's time to focus on my life, and put myself back in control. Props out to my brother, Tyler, for talking some sense into me also.
Welcome! You've decided to make your life better, and that's awesome! KTC will help you a toooooooon, but you have to use the tools provided. If you don't use the site properly then you will be right back where you are. So, at the minimum you should:
1. Post roll every single day. Do this first thing every morning without question. No internet? Tough! Call or text someone in your cave plan list (see topic 2). Posting roll is the corenerstone of your quit. You are promising a group of people that you are quitting for that day, and they intern are doing the same to you. If you don't think you can commit to posting roll daily, I really wouldn't advise using KTC. But, if you can commit, you will more than likely never be seduced by the NIC whore again.
2. Get a list of phone numbers from your quit group and make them part of your cave plan. These are people you could reach out to should you find yourself wanting to cave. Drinking to much or out with friends, and you feel like you're going to put a wad of poison in your mouth? Pause for a moment and call one of these people to help talk you out of it. It's part of your cave plan, and you need to have one in place.
There are countless stories of guys on here that have quit 500 days, and decided to cave. Why? They thought they had it under control, and perhaps didn't stay with KTC. You have to commit to this site, and your quit bros that you are in this fulltime.
I hope this doesn't sound daunting or to much. It's really not that hard to do. I'm glad you're here, and I look forward to seeing you in the HOF someday my friend! I quit with you today!
