Day 31 for me. I just want to say how awesome I feel. I hid this addiction from most everyone and being free from hiding is a huge boost to life. I so wish I would have done it sooner. But I needed help and accountability- which this site has provided. I post my promise every morning and also have my web of fellow quitters to help me every day (JSJ, Hunter4life and JoshTpa). You guys are awesome. I also post roll at my house for my family. I sign my name every day that I won’t use nic.

I have stopped dipping in the past a couple times for this length of time so I know I have to stay quit every day - odaat. I feel like it’s really just mental warfare now and every win I get (like 4 hours in the car yesterday without dipping) I just put that in my bank for when times get tougher. Cause they could at some point. I still get cravings every once in a while but they do seem to get less frequent and shorter as time goes on. I take it personal - like it’s a competition between me and nicotine. I hate losing and I can’t give in.

If you are reading this and really want to quit, like I did, just do it. You will NOT regret it. Ever. Believe me. Get involved and reach out. Lot of great people here that want to help. Just have to ask.

Proud to be quit with you brotha. It’s amazing how many of us hid our addiction. That says something. We really are ashamed and need to stay quit. I also promise my wife every day, along with posting roll and texting y’all. I’m glad that you are positive through all this. It’s key to remaining quit. I too feel like a champ right now at 37 days. Odaat! Thanks for having my back as well!

Keep up the solid work!

Before KTC, the longest I ever stopped was for 21 days. Through this site, the tools it provides and the accountability, I have the privilege to post Day 1,304 today.

Keeping posting each day and honoring your word and you will enjoy continued success. Proud to be quit with you today!

Cspence here and today is day 12 of my quit. I feel like things are getting much easier. I just don’t seem to be getting the urge as often. My wife still hates me after I hid the habit for 15 years. Need to keep the course - I am doing this quit for me first. Love reading what you guys are doing and how you are staying strong.

Glad to hear things are getting easier. Just always remember that complacency is the biggest quit killer. Your quit is still very young. Continue to WUPP, EDD and stay close to the site and your group.

Also, I want to encourage you to change some of your vocabulary. We are fighting an addiction, not a habit. It may seems like a matter of semantics but the distinction is critical.

Proud to be quit with you today.

Thanks man! Yeah you are correct. I stopped for almost a year in the past so I know I need to stay close to me accountability web.

Welcome to KTC brother. Same story here. Actually, I hid my addiction from my kids. And my oldest is 17. After getting scared of a recent sore throat, I quit. As the days go by, I also realized how much time I spent trying to get away from them to hide and get a dip. What a sorry excuse huh? Now I take it ODAAT, and spend as much time as possible with them. I’m quit with you! Pm me your digits and I’ll text you my promise daily, or if you prefer, I can send you mine. No need to know life details, full names or any of that. Just accountability and support for one another.

Welcome Cspence. Invest in your quit - reach out to your group, build a web of accountability.  Noah built the ark before the flood, he didn't wait for it to start raining.
Educate yourself on the addiction. Knowledge is power - ignorance is terribly expensive.  I've some links in my signature to help you get started.

@Cspence welcome to KTC. To be clear you never quit, you just had a few stoppages. Quitting is what we do here one day at a time. If needed one hour at a time. We wake up piss and post our promise first thing everyday. Then we keep that promise to stay quit. Wake up and repeat the next day. Drink lots of water, get extra rest, and exercise. Check your messages as other quitters will be reaching out with support. Only exchange digits through messages and not the forum. Send me a message if I can help. You can do this one day at a time.

Today is day 10 of my quit. I have quit before but I have to make this one stick. I have lied to way to many people that I love way too many times who look up to me and count on me to be better. I hope someday they can/ will forgive me but that seems a long way off at the moment. I just have to win today and that is what I am doing. I have read a lot of posts on here and really appreciate the support so far. I plan to keep quit this time.
