So I am sitting here working (the midnight shift-which sucks) and laughing because as I typed 'My journey begins' I thought to myself "boy is that pathetic, only 7.5 hours into it, almost 1 full pack of gum gone and I am writing something down about my journey. THEN, I thought to myself "wait a fucking minute-do you know how long it has been since you have gone 7.5 hours without a chew (not sleeping)" and I began to feel a warm little tingle in me saying "you can and will do this-everyone that has quit has also been at 7.5 hours before".  Just wanted to give everyone a shout out and tell all the veterans and HOF's that I admire each and every one of them for quitting and also tell the other guys who are in the process of quitting that I believe in them as I believe in myself-WE CAN AND WILL CONQUER THE CAN ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Earn this.
I plan on it brother :)

Welcome Roadblock!

You can do this...If I can, you can. 7.5 hours in sucks...but the good news is, it gets WAY better. Remember these first 3 days and know that you never have to go through them again. I would venture to say that Kill the Can has the most effective program out there for quitting and staying that way. If you follow this program, it is 100% guaranteed that you will quit and stay quit....

We use a simple program here:

1. Post Roll: This is more than a "status report", it is your promise to all of us that you will not use nicotine for just TODAY. It should be the most important thing you do- do it first thing in YOUR day.

2. Honor that promise

3. Repeat.

On a side note: If that gum that you are chewing is nicotine gum, you cannot participate in the quit groups, but you are free to post here in the intro. Our program is cold turkey- nicotine gum/patches only prolong the withdrawal, so cold turkey is the way to go.

Holler if you need anything

30, I feel you on the gum and I understand that it is cold turkey only. I have been chewing Extra 'Dessert Delights" gum lol. I have also used some of the smokey mountain herbal chew for my long commute each day. Thanks for the words and advice. Btw, I am on hour almost 26 now :) Jay

Like I said earlier RB, lot's of badass quitters (like 30 here) that WILL have your back. You've got my number already and you'll be receiving a text from me today. You got this, just take it one day at a time and never forget these first few days...

A few things to remember for the next month...

I know you've ordered fake stuff, but go get ya some seeds, hard candy, tooth picks and lots and lots of gum.

Drink TONS OF WATER, and I heard cranberry juice is suppose to help with the withdraws (nobody told me that one..)

And (seriously) have lots of sex (or masterbait)...tell your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend to take one for the team haha

Also, if you quit yesterday (i'm assuming around 6pm?) today would actually be your day 2. If you go to the homepage of KTC there is actually a tracker there for you. Plus you can see how much money your saving along the way. Like me- 170 days quit and $925 saved

Roadblock you rock. You can do this! You have already proven you can. 1 day at a time---1 hour at a time if necessary. 7.5 hr at a time you can do that. Pm me I'd be glad to trade #'s. hang tight. Embrace the suck and QLF.
