Glad to see it's working for you Ron, it's sure working for me! Nothing like the camaraderie, brotherhood,  fellowship to pull a guy through.

A little over 3 weeks down and the time sure has gone by fast. The DEC 13 group is really coming together. I have been able to exchange contacts numbers with my brothers. It feels so awesome to be free of nicotine and all of the other cancer poisons inside smokeless tobacco. I look at our quit groups spreadsheet and all I see is WIN. People are taking back control over their lives. They are no longer a servant to a master. They are in control of their own destiny. Before I came to KTC, I would be lucky if I could go 20 minutes without freaking out without nicotine. KTC has changed all of that. The method works.

Quote from: Ron_Cross
My name is Ron and I have been a nicotine addict since 1993. I am 46 years old, married and have a 12 year old son. I am a Accounting Professional. I grew up in a rural area in Arizona where I tried dip for the first time in High School. I only did it once and moved on. Fast forward a few years to college Army ROTC. A couple of guys were using and we were out on a field training exercise and the guys told me that it helped them stay awake which sounded good to me since we were only getting a few hours of sleep a night. Big mistake. That is when I started having a dip in every waking moment. I graduated college and starting my accounting career as a young CPA. Did my best to hide it from co-workers, bosses,, ect. Having a fat dip in your mouth doesn't help you gain respect in the business world.

I thought I would quit then, a few years later I got married, I thought I would quit then, I had a son, I thought I would quit then, I would stop a few hours, cave, lie, sneak around, chew at work, sneak around some more.

It is a nasty disgusting habit that kills people. I don't want to lose half of my face and look like a God Damn FREAK. I don't want to be responsible for setting the wrong example for my son. I am ready to quit. I have been quit for 2 weeks. I guit with each and everyone of you. I am here for you and you are here for me. Together we can do this.
Welcome Ron  congrats on 2 weeks so far!!

Well Ron welcome aboard you my friend have come to the right place if you want to keep quit.  It seems that you should be in the DEC group.  You will have to check the group dates and see which ones match up to your quit date.  We post roll here everyday it is the single most important thing we do here.  When you post roll you make a promise to yourself and to us that you will not use nicotine for today only.  we wake tomorrow good lord willing and repeat. 

You should check into the welcome center and read read read do the ground work to keep your quit a priority. 

PM me if you need anything.

Ron has been posting roll, he actually made up our spreadsheet for the Dec group. Haha

Thanks for the intro Ron, good to see where other people come from and what they're like.
Great choice. And holy crap, that is a great intro!!! No hoping or trying with this guy. Succinct, to the point, right motivation...A+ in my book.

You've gotten great advice so far. Just read all you can. Two weeks is a great start, too. But it is just the begging of your new nic-free life!!!

Stay strong and stay quit, brother.

PS - love the "spread sheet" comment!!!
