Time to do this...

Man you are rocking it out. Keep the momentum up. You will continue to see those great moments that happen because dip didn't. Your kids will appreciate it too. Today I'll +1 with you. Stay quit bro.

[THansen2413]

I see your quit bro! I'm going to be watching you. Savor the feelings you're experiencing right now. Savor these early days of your quit. It sucks, doesn't it? Stay true to your word, your daily promise, and you will never have to experience this shitty feeling again! You will see clearly again, you will gain your patience back, you will be able to function and enjoy functioning nic free! Quit w/you today!

I agree with Done4Me, I told my co-workers and family I was quitting, and to remind me that if I was being a dick to kindly find a way to vent the rage (hint, hint, do it here or on chat!!).

Thanks all for the support.

Another interesting anecdote happened this morning and really solidified my reason for being here. I got back from the gym and was ready to jump in the shower. My three-year old son came running into our room crying and the only thing that he wanted was to take a shower with me before I went to work. As a ninja dipper I would have had a dip in until three days ago, and would have had to turn him down like the true wank I'd become so that he didn't see me with one in. Today was a different story.

I'm already rewriting those chapters that I had come perilously close to losing out on until I made the commitment to take my life back. I'm winning nic bitch and this snowball runs downhill; nothing you can do to stop me.

Bravo, you are getting it! I have been quit for 61 days, and still have situations I haven't faced yet being quit, and I get the goofiest damn smile on my face realizing I don't have to ninja dip or hide in the corner because I have shit in my mouth.

Thanks Thumb. My wife asked me last night if I needed to go take a shower (like I did every evening for the past year or so). I said no, I'm good. She looked at me like I had about three heads. Not ditching my family any more to selfishly try to kill myself. Not today. +1

If you haven't told the wife you should do so. Will give you a close see every day lives in the same house supporter. You need her in your camp. The kids are too young to tell but definitely fess up to the wife. The more she understands the better off you will be and you'll get hall passes for the times where you are truly an asshole. I was lucky enough to get one this weekend when I showed my ass to my know it all 18 yr old daughter who I love dearly.

There's a legal age to wear a tie? I quit with I Quit Today, and thank him for the optical illusion. Is there a site for cool avatars?

[Done4Me]

Good to see you posting roll. First few days are the hardest and it gets tons better sez the guy on day 30. A month ago is oh so very fresh and raw in my mind. I will never forget the feeling and will use it daily, NAFAR.

I gotta ask, is the avatar at least of legal age? Can't really tell. Never understood the BDT crowd.

[MonsterMedic]

Glad to have you with us. Post roll every damn day and promise to stay free of nicotine. Reach out to people and establish an accountability network, it really helps. Shoot me a PM if you need another number.

This forum and the people on it are only as helpful as you allow them to be in your quit. Get involved.

Proud to be quit with you.

[RobFulton1]

Sorry for the sexting, bro. Must be the lack of nicotine, because I haven't put an ounce of that stuff back into me :) lol

Take your life back, man. Tons of badasses on here who have come before us, who are helping us through it. This place is going to help me stay quit, I know it.

TMTLF bro!

I wanted to share an interesting story because I'm sure this kind of thing has happened to some others as well. Today is day 2 into the battle. I noticed something today when I was walking around the office at work. I used to never use my right thumb or index finger to open a door. I'm not a germaphobe or anything, but subconsciously I knew that in short order I would be placing those two fingers into a can of worm dirt to score a pinch. Then when I was on the bus later, I noticed that when I used to grab the handles on the bus or the support poles when standing up, I never used to grip with my thumb or index finger either, just the other three. Several more times today I noticed using those two fingers for stuff that I subconsciously hadn't been using for the past five years or so (except to grab another pinch of course).

What the hell was I thinking?? That somehow the door handle was nastier than the poison I was about to put into my lip??

Now only two days into my quit I already notice consciously stuff that I was doing subconsciously when I was dipping. All because I've started the process of ridding myself of this mind numbing poison. Despite the fog, I'm already glad I'm here.

I'm glad KTC is here, and I'm glad to be here with some bad ass quitters willing to take their lives back. I know I am.

[J2thaZ]

Today is my Day 2 also - I totally agree with how you say it feels. It's rough. We'll HOF the same day though, man. We'll get there. If you need a number to text or call, PM me and I'll send it if you need it.

I have a 3 year old daughter, who normally lives with her Mom since our divorce. I see her ever week and usually keep her a night or two. I hated having to make some excuse and leave her in front of the tv for 20-30 minutes when I have her, just so I could go outside and pack my lip for a few. Came to my senses, and so have you. TMTLF - Too Much To Live For, bro.

I quit with you today man. We've got this.

--Rob

Yah man, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I even had it down to a science. The shows my son watches are 23 minutes commercial-free, then commercials for the rest of the half-hour. I'd turn one on for him, pack a lip, spit it out after about 22 minutes, and be back just in time to turn it off before the commercials started to piss him off. What an idiot.

I dig the TMTLF too. It's a great motto to go by. The fog sucks, but cancer is worse. Thanks again Rob, I PM'd you my number too.

I like your attitude. Keep it up, every damn day!

iQuit (apple format) and Rob, make sure you two exchange numbers and build a team of accountability (shoot me a PM for my digits and I'll be glad to jump aboard). In addition to posting roll, make an extra promise to each other and fight through the first few days an hour at a time if that's what it takes.

KTC is all about accountability and brotherhood ...these lead to success. Those who maintain their quit and continue to succeed day in and day out have built strong brotherhoods of accountability. It's all intertwined and you will gain what you put into your quit. I promise you that.

Done. He's already tried sexting with me and I told I wasn't into that sort of thing. I don't think he took it personally though, he's still sending me awkward text pics of himself...
