Did the same thing a little bit sooner, joined around 70 days of quit. The only disadvantage is that you might have to work a bit to get involved in your quit group. Get numbers, post often. Meet some guys and listen to their stories and share yours.

The big advantage is that you're two months quit! Keep on adding +1's EDD and you'll stay that way. Remember, the HOF and other mile markers are just that — points where you pat yourself on the back and say "All right, let's do another 100."

The only way you stay quit is by quitting each and every damn day for the rest of your life. It's a shitty cross to bear, but we got ourselves into this mess. So keep posting roll and promising that you won't use nicotine. Life is better because of it.
"Post roll. Post more if you want to. That's the beauty of the place: We ask you post roll. We ask you to be honest. That's all. No more. No less. Be there for your brothers and ask for help when you need it." - Wastepanel 10/6/14

"What would you do to save your own life? If you were fighting cancer today would you suffer through Chemo, surgeries, try new a therapy? change your diet, go to church? What intolerable hell would you endure to simply live. When you have thought long and hard about that, think on this. Why not apply that attitude to your quit. Suffer through the temporary discomfort of withdrawal to achieve your freedom from a slow painful demise via nicotine. Your in the ring already- fight like you mean it." - Skoal Monster 10/8/14

I, too, first posted after having a pretty good quit under my belt. I realized I'd rather have a bit of help than cave and waste all of those quit days.
I am glad you decided to introduce yourself, jhdorn. There is no shame in it and in fact, you made a great choice. Personally, I know I would have caved if I hadn't come on board.
Come over to December with us and start posting. PM me if you need anything. Welcome aboard, I quit with you today.

Here in THIS house, we Kill the Can. If it's not a top priority, go to one of the bitch sites where they "hurt the can" or "call the can names." - Pre

This is so much more that just throwing your name on a list, it is placing your word or promise that you will not use nicotine and it should be done everyday. - MCarmo44

I need this place, because i am an addict. I cannot forget that...if i do i will forget how to quit. - Schaef418

Welcome to KTC and more important welcome to December 14. To be honest you are starting with some disadvantages but nothing all that can be history if do what works here. We post roll here everyday, first thing everyday. Wake up, piss and post roll. You have done great on your own for 83 but there is a reason you came here. Posting roll is your promise/your word that you will not use nic today, just today. One day at a time.

We will worry about tomorrow when tomorrow comes and when it does we will wake up, piss and post roll. The brotherhood here works. Get in December's room and start posting and getting to know all of us in December. Get on live chat and meet vets, newbies and other quitters. Grab a glass and drink the koolaid, it works. Pm me and see you at roll. Quit with you today.

Sir Nope.

Hey guys. I joined a while ago but posting for the first time. I've played/coached baseball for a lot of years and been dipping for 12+ years. Been 83 days since ive had a dip. been having a
tough time lately so I thought I'd finally start posting.
