Quit Date 11.25.12

[jhaenel23]

Figured Day 24 was a good day to BUMP this bad boy and reflect a bit.

I look back at my introduction and I see a lot of the weakness that I've been able to shed with the help of KTC. I remember typing that not really thinking any differently than all the other times I TRIED to quit...which, of course, is another way to say I didn't really want to.

I am BUMPing this because the last few days, March has been hit hard with cavers. I look at the language in my intro and I see the same flimsy, noncommittal bullshit language that I used when I typed my intro with a dip in my mouth and 3 tins in a suitcase that I had for the upcoming trip I "couldn't quit during".

I was weak but my friends at Kill The Can have made me strong. If you're not putting in, you're not getting everything you can out of this site.

Thanks guys. 24 down and 76 to go until I'm in the KTC HOF. Then a lifetime beyond that. But as always, I'll focus on simply not havign a dip today and then we'll deal with tomorrow at sun-up.

I figured I would bump this up for you.....Wasnt hard to find since it was still on your first page.....That's a Problem.......Use your Intro to make sure you never forget where you came from!!

Next time your buddy offers a can to you, do what Syndrome preaches....
1. Accept the tin Graciously.
2. Open the lid and Smile.
3. Commence Dumping it out on the ground.
4. Take foot and grind the poison into the ground.
5. (Optional...) Pull out Penis and piss on poison for good measure or effect.

No more problem...... :)

I am jumping on that Quote fan wagon too! Smart statement. I know that was true for me when I caved after 3yrs of being stopped. I became complacent and comfortable, arrogant, cocky. I hope you all don;t mind if I add that to my signature as well.

I am not new here - I was part of the March Mad Men and was 188 days quit before caving. I posted this in my old group but you should see it too to find out more about me and my cave:


What happened: I had a friend from college visiting, one I hadn't seen in years. He and I went out drinking and he brought a tin wiht him. I had told him all about KTC, how quit I was, how I'd gotten to 6 months without and I didn't want it. He asked again around 2am as we were sitting on my balcony and I figured "ehh, what's 1 gonna do? I've been quit for 6 months." I woke up the next morning fully ashamed and dreaded the thought of having to post day 1 and start over and take this beating. I knew I would never lie and continue posting the same quit number as if nothing had happened - but I didn't know what to do. So I left. Of course "may as well finish the tin he left"..."may as well just dip not that I broke my quit"...I was hooked again like I had never been quit. So what happened? I was weak. Didn't protect my quit. Chose to dip and risk cancer. Then I was a pussy and just kept going because it was easier than explaining myself.

Why did it happen: I started to peter off from KTC. stopped really contributing. My quit went to autopilot and I didn't take it seriously. I believed "one won't kill you" and let the nic bitch in. I took my quit and KTC for granted and chose to be an asshole who would rather have cancer.

What will be different this time: I will be the member I was at the beginning - offering my phone number. checking in on newbies. Not just a visitor but a member here. I also understand something I had dreaded to admit - this urge never goes away. This addiction doesn't stop. I had had no problem walking into 7-11 and seeing dip. i thought I was "cured". But I always looked at it. I always noticed it was there. Saw what new flavors there were. I wasn't cured - there is no cure. I'm always going to be addicted - I choose to be addicted to being quit now. And I realize there will never be "just one more".

I'm very happy to be quit with you all -- I'm pissed at myself for my cave and letting the group down but I did that to myself. Please PM me numbers and I will return with mine.

This place absolutely works - you will be quit if you stay. Don't make my mistake and don't allow yourself to let your quit become a casual afterthought.

Proud to be quit with you all.

Complancency sucks. As OIB said, one moment of it is the difference between being a user and a quitter.

I had to take that quote and put in on my signature thanks EVIL and OIB. I think that statement alone is what happens when caves happen. Dust yourself off Sweetness and get your quit on.

Well slap my ass and call me Charlie. You're still quit...FUCK YEAH BRO!!!!! I thought you were one of the pussies who fell through the cracks. Glad I was wrong.

Shits getting real and people in your group are caving. Way to be strong!!! Let those cavers be an inspiration for you and also a lesson.

Keep reading, keep posting roll, get more active on the site, build up a true hatred for nic by educating yourself on how it works. Get to know your enemy inside and out so you can fucking destroy it!!!

You get stuck, hit some rough spots, have some questions, need ANYTHING...turn to us. We will help.

I'm pumped you're still quit. Keep it rolling bro. I can tell you as I approach 200 days its worth it. It just keeps getting better. There are still bumps but they aren't as jagged and rough. The freedom I feel now is unreal. I ain't bullshitting you either. If it still sucked id fucking tell you.

Keep it up.

Great recovery Sweetness in that last line of the statement " I'll focus on simply not havign a dip today and then we'll deal with tomorrow at sun-up. "

Never look too far ahead. Remember do not think of quitting forever cause guess what, you ain't gonna live that long and neither will I.

I quit with you today and I will give you my word when I wake in the morning.

Good Stuff Sweetness!

Never again for any reason!
ONE day at a time and your daze will stack up...I PROMISE YOU!

Decide everyday for yourself that NICOTINE is OFF the table for that day!
Close the door every a.m. to that Nic bitch!

Nictoine makes NOTHING better!
I QUIT with YOU today! 'bang head'

Great Job Sweetie! Dont sweat the guys that talk tough about quitting for a few days and then disappear. Every group has quite a few of those. They dont really want to quit, they want to talk about quitting. While I would love to say that we can save them all, the truth is we cannot. You must want to quit first and thats when we can help. Your group will close soon, when it does that is it, those are the men/women in your group. Those are the ones that you need to concentrate on and dont accept absence from roll call, BS addict talk, or anything else. Invest yourself in those guys and hold them to their word. See you in the HOF.

Sorry for the no reply - not a function of being a "sack of pussy juice" or anything similar, just have been in transit. I've tried quitting plenty of times without a support group and failed, kind of shocked at the reception I've received thus far - jesus, guys. I wasn't planning ahead to make excuses and chicken out - I was planning ahead to ensure I was logging on each day which was impossible due to Thanksgiving travel! I also was under the impression that you were supposed to plan ahead a few days when deciding to quit, it wasn't some BS I was trying to fly by. Regardless, I'm as committed today as I was yesterday and the day I posted.

Regarding the important stuff: I am on Day 2. I have plenty of gum and some seeds within arms legnth as well as lots of water. Stress triggers haven't pushed me and I avoided beer during football yesterday just to give myself an easier time - (still trying to figure out how to post - I'm internet retarded.)

I know the flaming I got was a function of you guys not wanting bullshitters sullying up this board so I understand it. I thought I was doing the right thing but I guess not!

Anyway, the important thing is I am on day 2...

Glad you're back. Ive seen too many fly by quitters.

You're right the important thing is you're on day 2. I'm here to support you anytime you need it. You ever have any questions or need anything feel free to pm me anytime.

You'll get the hang of role. Everyone fucks it up at first.

[wastepanel]

Sounds good - I've got 1 phone number from epayne.

If anybody else cares to share their number, please PM me. I'm happy to return the favor and provide support if they're wavering.

You are new, so you are not used to our hard truths.

We can sound like assholes sometimes because we are addicts. We know (as addicts do) that we have lied to ourselves and to others in our efforts to "quit" with no success. We know that grey areas mean a way out when times get tough. We know that when we are given an inch, we will take a mile. We know because we once were taken aback by the tones here as well.

The success of this program is all on you. There is a 3 step rule to stay quit here:

Post roll-promise that you won't use nicotine today. This is your proclamation to the world and to yourself that you are a quitter as well as your cry for help to assist you in this endeavour.

Keep your word-Do whatever it takes. Call the numbers you get here. Text them. Post here. Read here. Lock yourself in a room and barricade the entrance. I don't care what you do. Just stay quit. Do not leave nicotine as an option.

Repeat-When you wake up tomorrow, just do what worked for you yesterday. We can't quit forever, but we can quit everday.

You can do this.

Atta boy. Honestly never figured you'd be back. There's a lot of fly by quitters that out up posts like your original one.

Visit the salmon colored Welcome Center in the upper left hand of the page. There you'll find roll posting instructions. Read and post up day 2 in your quit group.

Check your PM inbox too. You've got mail.

Get some #'s! There is NO excuse for not posting roll you can always have someone post for you. All it takes is a simple text or call to have a co-quitter post for you!
