Thanks to Zillah cowboy, mogul, derk40, Skoal Monster, doc2quit4good, Garrett32, slug.go for the advice, encouragement, and support today!  Reading your messages has given me energy to fight this battle today.  It is a great feeling to know there are folks here who really care, and I am so grateful.  I am feeling a little hazy but not as bad as I feared.  I can do this.

For me one of the hard parts of this is just focusing on today.  I know from the past, as soon as I think I'm doing OK I start getting ahead of myself - thinking about day 100, day 1000, etc.  That's partly how I screwed myself on day 89 of a previous quit. I forgot about the battle going on at the moment.  The other problem was that I never posted roll or got involved here.  I lurked, read the articles, etc but thought I could do this by myself.  I know now that I was wrong.

I am focusing on today, I have posted roll, and I will not allow nicotine in any form to enter my body today.

Had you been here on Day 89 last time, you'd have know you were in prime funk territory. That's is one period of time that claims a LOT of people.

Don't get ahead of yourself. Thinking in the future can be a little overwhelming and will get you to questioning your ability.

One small piece of advice. Scratch "I can do this"...replace it with "I WILL do this". It may seem like a nitpicky thing to gripe about but...words like can, hope, maybe, hopefully, luck, etc. have 0 place in a quitter's vocabulary. WILL kicks all those other guys asses. PMA...Positive Mental Attitude is crucial. And your word choices describing your quit is paramount to a PMA. Don't leave the door open. Don't leave it cracked. Slam it shut, bolt it closed, and weld the seams. If you don't, the addict in you will take advantage of it and will more than likely, capitalize on it at some point.

Welcome to the site. Never again, for any reason.

Edit...re-reading your post...you were here. You should have known about the funk. Pay attention bro...it's coming. Day 30, Day 80, Day 125, Day 250, Day 400, DAy 700. Those are the milestones.

Thanks for the advice loot.

I will do this.

And you are correct, I knew there was a funk coming. But I started looking ahead and left myself vulnerable.

The only thing that matters today is staying quit, everything else can wait. Do whatever it takes to stay nic free TODAY. We will worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

...and to stay quit today you only have to do two things...
1. post roll
2. no nicotine in any form

that's it.

Hi,
My name is Tim and I have been addicted to nicotine for over 20 years.  I had my first dip in high school and was hooked.  I turned 38 today and I am desperate to be nicotine free.  I have tried on my own countless times.  Made it 89 days once.  Then one slip up and I was back.  I learned a lesson the hard way, there is no such thing as just one dip.  I am terrified of going through the withdrawals again, but I am more terrified of dying from this poison.

I am ready and committed to stick with this.  For my health, for my sanity, for my family. No more putting it off, no more excuses or reasons that it isn't a good time. Today is the day, now is the time.

Hey Tim, WELCOME!
Youre totally in the right place. I've been here just a few days, but the people Ive met have reached out to me and made me feel like im a part of their family. And we will all extend the same to you brother. Theres nothing to be afraid of my man, The grass is MUCH greener on the other side. It helps to keep in mind why you quit. Think about your family, think about your future if things get rough for you. Im here for you anytime man, Keep up the good fight!

Tim

Just let go.

A short period of discomfort in exchange for freedom the rest of your life is a good trade.

Accept the fact this will suck until it doesn't.................... and then it won't.

Cut your caffeine in half, keep your blood sugar steady, and exercise ( even a walk).

The only thing that matters today is staying quit, everything else can wait. Do whatever it takes to stay nic free TODAY. We will worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

[Derk40]

Desperation to be nicotine free is exactly where I was 240 days ago. That desperation drove me to follow the KTC plan and I am quit today.

Read up on this site... get to the welcome center as stated and learn how to post roll. Posting roll is your commitment to yourself and everyone on this site that you will be nicotine free today.

You will have to fight for your freedom every damn day (EDD). But you can do it. If I can do it, then I know you can.

QLF!

[Mogul]

Tim, VERY IMPORTANT. Post roll every morning first thing. Make your promise to you and all of KTC that you are not going to use nicotine today. Don't worry about tomorrow. Just today. And then, be a man of your word. That is the price of your freedom, post roll and keep your word. I quit with you today Tim.

Tim,
Welcome. First of all. This is a zero nicotine site, so if you haven't already...flush all chew, throw away any nic gum, cigs, lozenges, etc. No nic here at all.

Then go to the "Welcome Center" tab above and to the left. Learn how to post roll every day. It is a requirement for joining this group, and is a sacred daily responsibility. You will be in the May '14 quit group.

Read as much as you can on this site, and get to know the folks in your group and in other groups. It is a good idea to trade phone numbers with people you get to know...you will be support for each other. And believe me, you will need those life lines.

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Now go get your quit on!!!
ZC.
