i wish i had stopped when i was 2 yrs in.
funny thing, i never hear anyone that's quit say "boy, i sure wish i had dipped for a couple more years before i quit." you only hear people say "why the fuck did i wait so long."
anyway, alex, you're on the cusp of making a great decision. there isn't a secret to quitting, and here at KTC we use one method and one method only: cold turkey. any other method simply prolongs the misery of nicotine withdraw. that's simply fact.
anyone can quit cold turkey. everyone has it in them. KTC helps by offering support from people who know what it's like to quit. that last part is huge. whenever my wife would get on me about quitting, i'd always grumble to myself that she didn't know how hard it was... was it was like. so, as an addict, i continued to used as i believed my own self-made delusion.
it's different here. we're all addicts and we know it. we have learned to recognize addict speak in ourselves and in others, and we will not let you slide when you spout off on some addict speak bullshit.
what we do here works. for those that truly buy-in, it words perfectly. 100%. no failure. those that quit but cave didn't use the tools and support that the site provides. i have 16 phone numbers to call if i'm feeling weak. i know i can call them each at any time.
we post roll and promise not to use nicotine that day.
we honor our promise.
we repeat that promise the next day.
it's that simple. i've posted roll for 215 days. and i'm going to post roll for as long as i'm alive. buy in... drink the kool aid. it works.
