You were doing great for 3 days in a row and now you are about to fall to 50% roll call hits. You got to find a way to get on roll every day. Nicotine doesn't take holidays or vacation and your quit can't either.

You should reach out to your group and swap digits! Then you can text your roll or have someone track you down to make sure you are still quit. It is the Accountability portion of the KTC way that works.
Listen up Arrow boy..... Integrity and your new life starts here ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are no other targets or bullseye's worth shooting for.
And by experience... I shot more 60's indoor without tobacco. Than any guy on tobacco.
Lets get serious.... And perform.
I quit with you today

We don't need this shit in our lives anymore... or the gloom and slavery that come with it.

We're both in this quit group, looking forward to staying quit with you.

Hey guys, I have read this page as much as I could over the past couple of hours and after reading I have had feelings of excitement to quit, scared thoughts, ect. But I know that this is what I need and that cancer doesn't discriminate and that I'm playing Russian roulette. I've chewed for 10 years since freshman year in highschool when I thought that I was exempt from addiction and that it was only to show I was cool. Now at 26 yrs old with a family I know that was the dumbest assumption I've made. The time is now if not it will be put off and my family, friends and most importantly myself need this from me. I look forward to quitting with you all.
man i wish i had this place when i was tryin to quit at 26. and 28. and 30. and 35. insted i bot in to big farma tellin me a gum or a patch wood help me quit. all that did was make me broker then dippin. use what we got here and be glad. it can be done for $0.
Anyone reading this^^^^^ take heed, he can't spell but he can do something that all addicts should follow, that's quitting!!!
I appreciate all the kind words, I'll defiantly take all this in!

Spend time and read what others write on this website. Read the heartbreak in a father's words when he learns that his teenage son has taken up dip. The #1 risk factor for a child using tobacco is if at least one parent uses tobacco. Stay quit. Otherwise those words of yours might be written by your son one day.

I agree with everyone here.

Stranger999, I'm like you. It would've been great to have quit at a younger age but, we are quit now so there is a positive.

If I can be of any assistance please just ask.

I quit with you today.
Jenny and Tom Kern

RIP My Brother!

PSEarcher12,

Welcome aboard! I'm not quite sure what your main fears of quitting are, but believe me they are all in your head! You can quit, as long as you truly want it.

As someone in my intro thread said...
Quote
Quit now because tomorrow may never get here or be 38 year's later!
That someone is actually pab1964 above me, and he posted that on Day 2 of my quit, and I'm now going on Day 47.

You can do this! I quit with you.
Elephants know what they are talking about - they never forget. B)B

PSEarcher12 - I'm an older guy here too and I am really jealous of you. You might be 23 years quit before you get to my age today. I really wish that I had quit at age 26. I'm just some idiot 49 year old here at day 58. Nicotine sucks in every form. I am winning now because I have help here. Make your quit a priority.

I quit with you today.

Welcome aboard! There is no time like the present to jump in with both feet. We quit here one day at a time. We post our promise each day first thing (today is your day one if you have dumped all of your nicotine products) and we keep our word for that day that we will be nicotine free.

It isn't easy. Nothing worth doing is. This is worth doing.

I watched 60 Minutes tonight (it is what exciting people my age do, OK?) There was a story on about kids in high school being addicted to heroin. There was this young kid on from some expensive suburb that talked about hiding in the bathroom at school to shoot heroin. Dude, I did that for 25 years with nicotine! It sure feels good to break free from that shame!

If I can help you in any way, don't hesitate to ask.
Welcome bowhunter! Great job posting roll! Best thing you could have done! You will never regret that. We're all addicts here my friend, so we've all been where you are right now. It's gonna suck till it don't! Be patient, you're probably gonna have anger issues, fog all kinda crazy shit going on! Man up, grab your sac and own this quit, it's your's! When anger hits bring it in here and take it out on us ,not your family, they don't deserve it, you're the one that put the shit in your mouth! Damn proud to be quit with you! Quit on!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD
