Hi all, new to the site but old to the addiction. I found this site on a web search and it made my day. I registered a couple of hours ago I guess I figured out how to post. I have tried several crutches in an aid to stop but always went back to the can. As I have read in several threads there is only one reason I searched for this site and it is to quit. It is time. I am anxious to start a new chapter in my life. Let r Buck 'sos2'
Awesome! I like when you said, "I am anxious to start a new chapter in my life." That right there is exactly what KTC will do for you too. It has for me and countless others here. Go read some HOF speeches, and you'll see what I mean. You can do this friend. I dipped for 23 years, and I'm quit for almost 140 days now. Was it hard getting started? Oh yes, but I had some motivation outside of just wanted to quit. Honestly though, this site, and my quit group made the whole beginning part much more manageable. I'm never going to be completely cured of this addiction, but I know that there is support here, and they have my back and I have there's. So, you want success? Follow this:
1. Post roll every day without fail. Do it first thing, and do it every day. It is the most important part of KTC, and you must use this tool. You have to ask yourself is coming here everyday for like 2 minutes going to be something you can commit too? I can tell you that there are those that stopped posting roll after having quit for 500 days, and they are right back to the poison. Can you commit to such a simple task? Don't have internet access? See rule 2
2. Get some digits of quitters in your group. I suggest the person above and the person below you in your quit group spreadsheet. Just pm them. It's very important. Out drinking a few with some buds watching the game, and you decide you'd like to sling just one in, but you know you shouldn't. Call or text them. They will talk you down, and you will do the same for them.
KTC is awesome man! It will change your life, but you have to use the tools that are here, and you have to be a part of your quit group, and commit to literally 2 minutes (maybe even less) per day. Can you do that? I bet you can. I look forward to seeing you in the HoF!
