Just need to do it once and for all

[Hunter4life]

@Hoopsguy42, if you can make 6 months, you can make the rest of your life. Only notable difference of your past quits is that you didn’t promise daily, you didn’t have a brotherhood of people depending on you and you depending on them that I know of. Get some digits and talk to your brothers daily. It helps man. The daily promises via text and posts certainly makes one feel accountable.

First trip to the gas station since joining this site. Thought about you all and this site as I sat outside and did NOT fall to temptation. Thankful for you all!

That’s an awesome win @Hoopsguy42
I hate c-stores! Nice work!

Great job. Do whatever it takes to avoid posting a day one again. I had my wife and kids go with me fort support early in my quit.

Hey @Hoopsguy42
Coaching is a major trigger for me as well (although much less stressful at the youth level).  Good news is that it's possible to stay in those situations and not have a dip.  Read everything you can here, drink lots of water, exercise, and you can push through the muck.  PM me for digits if you like.  You got this brother.
PTBQWYT my friend.

Whats up guys. 23 years old, been dipping on and off since I was a junior in HS. I have said internally that I 'quit' probably a dozen times now. Sometimes that lasts a week, a month, or 6 months, but every time I have slipped up again and re-ignited the bad habit. The last 2-3 times that I started dipping again, I immediately felt the effects. I get bulky canker sores in my mouth and my gums sometimes bleed when I brush my teeth.

I've got a pretty sweet job (coaching basketball) where my boss dips constantly. I also drink a ton of coffee from Oct-Apr and often stay in the office late by myself, so the temptation is strong and constant. But I am tired of being controlled by it. There are better ways to deal with stress and I don't need to put my future in danger. I know the mindset to take is 'one day at a time....', I just hope I can. Lots of long bus rides this season but I'm tired of being controlled by a $3 aluminum can every 2 days. Thank you guys for reading this and wish me luck in this quit journey!

@Hoopsguy42 welcome to KTC. You don't have a habit. You are a drug addict and nicotine is your drug. Go post your promise in February. We wake up, piss, and post our promise to stay nic free first thing in the morning. Then just keep your word and repeat the following day. Check your messages as fellow quitters will be reaching out. Only exchange digits through messages and not on the forum. You can do this if you follow the program. Here is the link for posting roll.  https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=15988.0
