Welcome to KTC and prayers to you and yours. With that, get ready for the suck as it is coming. Tighten the belt, strap in and have a plan. Lots of water, seeds, fake dip, gum, hard candy whatever it takes to get through the first few days especially when the whore will constantly whisper in your ear and make justifications as to how you can use, such as, see I didn't give your Mom cancer, I'm not that bad, anyone can get cancer, even if they don't use me. Make sure you are ready for the battle friend because she is. Use this site, use us! The plan is 100% guaranteed to work if you follow it. Post roll, honor your word  repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat,.............. Quit with you today

Quote from: ReaganThanks guys,
Apple, you're definitely right, I've read a couple books about addiction this last week and I understand the importance in making sure that you are personally invested and not putting the psychological burden on others. As I'm sure is the case with everyone else here, We quit for others in addition to ourselves.
Touching intro Charles. Stay close to the KTC and keep up with the +1's.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Man... That is hardcore right there. I really don't have any words... They're all too small.

I will say this to you about your quit... Be honest and diligent in quitting for you alone. The addict in all of us is strong. Even by the side of a loved ones death bed it can whisper to us about justified use. I've seen and heard many stories here about just that. 'Nuff said.

Glad you're here m'man. This place is the best and it'll save your life. I say it all'a time ~ get involved and stay involved. You won't regret it...
Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten.

Wow, powerful words, Reagan. Prayers going up for your mom! Speaking from experience, seeing a loved one battle cancer will definitely strengthen one's resolve to quit.

A couple weeks ago I had to go get a flu shot. I'ts my first one in my entire life. I'm not a giant fan of vaccines and I feel like the less you have the better. But I had to get one this year. It's the only way I can go spend any length of time with my Mom.

A month ago, my Mom was diagnosed with Squamous-cell carcinoma, one of the common smokeless tobacco cancers. They found it in the base of her tongue. She's never dipped and stopped smoking 30 years ago. Her's has a different, non-preventable cause. Last week, I sat with her as she had her first chemo treatment and waited as she had her first radiation treatment. She goes to radiation 5 days a week for the next 6 weeks, having both side of her throat pummeled with it. Driving her home from one on Monday, she needed me to pull over so she could throw up. I then comforted her, on the side of road, as she cried because of how badly it burned to vomit.

In a week or two, as her hair starts to fall out, she'll be on a feeding tube exclusively, no longer able to swallow or produce saliva. Speaking will be too painful too, the doctors said, so she'll spend the remaining months not able to verbally communicate with us. She didn't chose this. No one told her there was a high chance of this happening to her. No one told her how to prevent it.

I've lied to her for years regarding my addiction. It was easier than getting a lecture from her for the 100th time. I've lied to GFs and my ex-wife, employers and friends. Somehow, I've managed to lie to myself for 10 years. "those pictures you see and stories you read could never be me."

Today, I quit for myself, first and foremost. But, I quit for my Mom, and the rest of my family and friends. How could I ask them to support and endure with me, if I were in her shoes, all the while knowing I had willingly brought it on myself. I won't force the people I love to watch me go through something I can prevent.

This is my quit.
