Going great Diesel. I see guys throwing in a lip of tobacco and just shake my head and say damn what was I doing for all those years I used. I'm so glad I found KTC and am quitting before I got into the double digit years and have a family and what not. Coming here and just reading everything I can about what nicotine and tobacco can do to you makes it easier and easier to not have the desire to use tobacco ever again. As always I gotta say thanks to all those who came to KTC before me to help pave the way for future quitters.
Good to hear, man. Keep on trucking!!!!

I've made it another day. As the guys on this thread previously mentioned I'm committing to quitting one day at a time. I have to say that being able to hop on here throughout the day and see the support and success stories makes it easier because I don't want to relapse and give in to the devil in the can and let myself and you guys down. Thanks everyone who has supported me so far.
Great job on making it a week, that's HUGE!!!

The only thing better than a week is a week and a day.

Quit on...
It gets better and better bro... Well done!
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Thanks Diesel and exactly. After reading a bunch of articles on him after his death I decided that I needed to quit now. No more putting it off and waiting until I get a family or reach some other milestone. I couldn't go another day using tobacco so I began searching for alternatives and help with quitting tobacco. After two days on KTC I am so thankful I found it. I'm committing to quitting one day at a time.

As some of you guys mentioned its about the small steps and I just wanted to celebrate the fact that I played my first softball game tonight tobacco free. As a guy who dipped all throughout my baseball days and was the Lenny Dykstra or Dan Uggla, depending on how old you are, of mens league softball I never thought I would see that day come. I managed to go 3 for 3 with a home run so I did pretty well without the devil called tobacco that I thought I needed to play. I'm gonna keep on quitting for myself first but for all my brothers on here also. Thanks everyone for the support so far.
Well done. Keep up the quit. You don't want to be the Tony Gwyn of your league

Hey Royal. I am quit with you all damn day. Post roll and read bro. You do not have to have it all figured out just yet. Just post roll and get thru it one day at a time. It will suck for a while. You will have good days and you will have bad days. KEEP YOUR PROMISE. Remain quit and I promise you that it will become easier over time. Craves will come and you will get through if you choose to. I sent you my number in a PM. Text anytime. You've got this.

Stay small. Keep it simple. Success is easier achieved this way. Plus, as an added bonus, you will find you value your time better. ODAAT is the key.

I quit with you today.
Even go hour by hour, or minute by minute, if you need to. Just keep moving forward in the moment, with your post and keeping your word for the day being the main goal. That's all. Very simple, and very important to learn to think about it that way.
This info helped me early on, and still does today: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html

Quitters I’ve met so far: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, SRohde  -- always eager to meet more!
