1st Day Without It

Medic-
Please listen to these quitters. You can and should have both. But as was pointed out last night, the quit forum is for nicotine addicts who are quit. Almost all the rest of KTC is publicly open, including Introductions and HOF speeches.
I'd suggest your girl doesn't need to be a member (unless she is quitting nicotine), but she can still post in your intro, read other intros, and frankly read whatever is in your quit group forum if you let her. The only limit is she wouldn't post in your quit group forum.
I understand you did post roll today, so good for you. I hope that means you are leaning in this direction. It sounds like you have a great gal who will be there for you. You are lucky, many of our members don't. But equally important, you will also have quitters in your corner too, and we know exactly what you are going through and will be there for you as well.

Medic, bad plan. My wife thinks this site is lame and stupid too, but she knows that I attribute my staying quit to being on here and she is thrilled that I am quit. So, she just shakes her head when she sees me fumbling while trying to post roll on my phone before I have had my coffee.

The point-Your girlfriend isn't going to leave you just for being on a site of weirdos like us. The only naked pictures on here are of the naked missing jaws of non-quitters.

You have been given support and tools you can man up and use them, or you can fly away to the garden of special butterflies.

Which will it be?

I'm curious medic, what is the harm of having KTC AND your girl in your corner? Double up on the support. Shit, get your family and friends in in the deal. I'm sure they all want to see you without a lip full of black dog shit.

Here's the truth though: those who don't have the mind of an addict will never fully understand te mentality of an addict. They may be well intentioned, but te CONNECTION is not there on that level. So, I'm gonna go ahead and pull your card and say bullshit. You've got my number should you decide to use it. Ill be here for ya.

Peace.

I don't know what is going on with this guy, but it seems to me that he could use the support of his girlfriend...thats great! It's always good to have extra support. But is she an addict too...does she understand what you're going through? Is it that hard to get up and post roll in the morning? It takes about 45 seconds after you get the hang of it. Even if you don't post regularly on your intro...whats the harm in posting roll? One thing that i have always appreciated about most of the members here is this basic attitude...post roll, take what you need and leave the rest. It's pretty simple.

And let me explain why your logic of only using your lady as your support. Unless you are living in fiction world, you will have arguments...especially going through the fog...it will cause you stress, stress will cause you to dip because your stress is coming from your ONLY support. This shit works man...again...take what you need, leave the rest.

Hey guys just so yall know I will not be posting on the site anymore. I appreciate the support but I will have a roll call with my fiancée everyday I still plan to quit. She came into this forum as a support for me. She had my permission and I thought it would be ok with the other members but I think this thing got blown way outta proportion by some. Thanks again for all the support I wish you all the best of luck and keep counting down cause I will be, just not here just to clarify. She is my love and part of my inspiration for wanting to quit that's why I wanted her to join.


WTF?
Poor choice my friend. I wish you and your gal the best, and I know she is in your corner. But are you really going to throw away a proven quit support system and go it alone? You odds of staying quit drop off by double digits. I know you both think she is all the support you need, but I'll ask you to be truthful, if that is the case why weren't you already quit? Why did you join KTC? The answer for most nicotine addicts is because we could not quit on our own and recognize the peer acountability approach makes a lot of sense...
You are approaching special butterfly territory, where you come to this established forum, try to change the quit recipe to match how you think it should work, then get pissed and leave because not everyone is thrilled with your changes. All of that equals leaving the door cracked open for a future cave. I hope I'm wrong, I wish you a lifetime of quit. Come back if you change your mind and decide you need peer support...



Wow...some great advise there...This is one of the hardest things to do ever but i can tell you talking about it and having people there and not just your fiance or wife is the key. I tried so many times alone and it sucks...and i was back to dipping, think about your actions before moving forward thats the least you can do...otherwise good luck you will need it



Wow medic, I can't argue with that logic at all. That's some strong reasoning there.

Just do me a favor and come and send me a PM when your first appointment is on your biopsy. Always fun when it's done in your mouth.

You'll be back knuckles deep in a can in a week or two. Promise. Good luck.

PS, you'll always be welcome back to post roll with us and ACTUALLY quit, but just know that you'll be skewered and grilled for your decision to leave.



I hope all of you in November remember this joker. Two days and he's all set on his own with his girlfriend.....good luck with that special butterfly. Some guys just don't have the stones to hang at KTC, and some just don't hang around long enough to really get it, trust me it took me a couple failures to stick around. Just don't let it get you down, because when and if he comes crawling back, you'll be glad that you stayed quit.



He did post this morning so I'm not sure if he changed his mind? After reading through last night's posts, I think the more interesting question is whether this guy's fiancee is going to be permitted to be a "part" of this group? If she's not a quitter, then she has nothing to offer anyone else. This group for damn sure doesn't need a cheerleader, especially if said cheerleader is only here for ONE quitter. This group needs stone cold quitters that can support and hold each other accountable every damn day.

Some of your group has already spoken out against her being a part of this group so I'm interested to see what happens when/if she "brings it on" tonight?



I don't know buddy, if they are big boobed, topless cheerleader's, I may be all in....

just wanted to put all this here for you when you post you come back.

Hello everyone!!

Today 8/13/2013 marks my date. I have dipped for 5 years now and I finally decided its time to stop making excuses. I have a long road ahead of me to reach the 100 days but I know that the battle does not end there.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

You already surrendered and you already lost.

Come back anytime!

Great choice, Medic.  You can do this!!!

[gorilla1]

Suit up and show up. Looking forward to getting to know you in Nov13 group. I'll holler at you with my number in a PM. Use it!

Medic, Welcome to November. FYI to those reading, he has already shown his dedication by trading numbers with me. I'm fairly sure he'd be wiling to share it a few more times so that he can have a team of quit partners that hold him accountable.
It's nice to have a medical professional on hand in the group. I've got my doubts about the mental stability of some of the members here. (mostly myself) Now down to the nitty gritty. Quitting nicotine is really simple. Here's how you do it.
1. Post roll as early in the day as possible. (I do it during my morning constitutional from my phone) This is your promise to yourself and to us not to use ANY form of nicotine. (no nic gum, patches etc)
2. Keep your promise.
3. Repeat daily

If you follow those 3 steps, you will be 100% assured of your quit. There are definitely some things you can do to make your craves easier but these steps make a CAVE impossible.
TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. There are many that came before you that didn't and they aren't here anymore. We've already seemingly lost 13 members and the month isn't over yet. We are here for you.

Great Medic13.. Your in the right place for Quitting..Chug the KTC koolaid and being a badass quitter is what you will become. Post roll every damn day..No excuses.. Givin dabean your number is a great start. Now, give it the as many others as you can. Helpin other Skydivers will help you . Quit with you today! QFQQ!
