It's a Weird Confidence

[JGlav]

Hello to the KTC World. I am new to this community. I am very glad I found you (actually a beautiful Lady told me about you all; My wife).

Here is a testimonial from a 7 day Quitter (current). About a month ago, during a routine teeth-cleaning, my hygenist pointed out a "new spot" on my gum to the dentist. One thing led to another and 7 days ago I walked into and back out of an Oral Surgeon's office.....without needing to give up a biopsy.

That was my "awakening". I could have walked out of there and said "no harm, no foul" and continued on with my 34 year run of self destruction. But something was different this time. It was like the most-sensible me, spoke to myself. It said, "You know this could have been a much worse visit. You are lucky (for now). How many more times do you think you're going to get "lucky". The doc said, if you quit now - you stand a very good chance of turning things around. You are right at the edge of "last chances".

That was enough for me. As I walked out of the office, I handed the last can of Copenhagen over to the P.A. ...the last can I will ever dip out of.

It's a weird confidence. I really have only ever given it one other effort to quit in all of those 34 years. (about 5 years ago) I made it 6 months. This time is definitely different. I've made resolve. I am ready for battle. I will win.

I am not posting this to sound arrogant, or like I am King Daddy the Quitter. This just happens to be what I feel and how I feel. I hope I am right. And I hope that one other person (maybe more) who read this, finds the same resolve.

Welcome Bman. Nothing like a scare to get our ass in gear. Glad you are quit. Posting roll is the singular most important ingredient in the KTC Koolaid mix.
I was quit for 5 yrs (Didn't know about KTC) and just started finger banging the can one night. The only thing keeping me quit is my promise on roll first thing every
morning and the accountability and support from other quitters here. Great decision and glad to quit with you today.
