It's funny. As I type this very post, I'm sitting in the same chair, in the same office as I was at the moment I decided to quit 2 years ago today. I remember having my last dose of poison the night before (last dip out of the can). On the way to work that morning, I decided not to stop by the convenience store and get a can. I had been wrestling with the idea to quit for sometime before that, but something was different about that morning, I knew that if I could skip that morning dip, I would have a chance on at least making it that one day without it. Boy, that choice to forego the convenience store was the best decision I have ever made! 732 days later I'm still clean from that poison! Praise God. 01/09/20 was the last day nicotine had its grips on my mind and soul. Thank you KTC brethren for all of the support and accountability.

To anyone reading this still using nicotine, please do yourself, your family, and your friends a favor and STOP. Just STOP. STOP buying cans, just STOP making excuses, just STOP being weak. Here at KTC we've all been through the ringer in giving up one of the most addictive substances known to man. We all had our pathetic excuses and reasons to keep using, but you know what? We have gritted our teeth and fought, and will keep fighting till the end.

Although it is a tough battle, it is a GOOD battle. It is better to struggle, than just give up and lose the fight to a dead plant in a can. A dead plant in a can that was manufactured to get you addicted and spend your health/money on it until you die. Do you really wanna be Big Tobacco's pawn? JUST STOP. It is that simple.

To anyone reading who follows Jesus, "'I have the right to do anything,' you say – but not everything is beneficial. 'I have the right to do anything'– but I will not be mastered by anything." Thank you Jesus for allowing this sin to be washed away with repentance from this garbage. To God be the glory, always.

If you can't say no to it, IT OWNS YOU.

Here's to another year of quit with you fine gentlemen.

To the multiple guests viewing, there is no better time to quit than right now. Spit it out, flush your stash, and post roll.

Don't push off until tomorrow, tomorrow never comes!

All glory to God in this quit, none for myself. Here's my thoughts at the 500 milestone.

On day 1, I never thought I would have made it this far. Before I go any further, I have to acknowledge that 500 is just a number and in all essence I'm on day 1 right now (as we all are). So much has happened over the past 500 days, both in the world and in my personal life. Looking back and knowing I made it through everything, both the good times and the bad (dip is enjoyed in both scenarios, as we all know) without the cancer dirt is so promising as to what the future holds for my quit. The fact that I can navigate through life without being led by a plastic puck with a tin lid makes me happy. Happy. Instead of chasing my next dose of poison, quitting has allowed me to chase what's truly important, which is Jesus. I was never able to see it until I quit, that I was being led to the grave both spiritually and physically by the can. Yes, I still have cravings now and again, but they are easily quelled at this point. The brotherhood and accountability this site offers, is life-changing and saving. In this with y'all until I breathe my last breath. If one day I stop posting, it will not be not because I caved and am hiding in shame, it will be because I have left this Earth. Thanks to my KTC brothers for holding me accountable. Most importantly, all praise and glory to Jesus, and God the Father.

Here' to another 500 with ya'll.

N A F A R!
Congrats brother. Look forward to continuing this journey with you.

In the process of moving currently. So I'm going through a kitchen cabinet above the fridge and my hand comes across an odd feeling object. I grab it and what do you know, it was my old vape! (yes, I was one of those d-baggers at one time  :o) The vape tank was still full, almost like it was whispering in a fairy princess voice "just take a drag...you know you want to!" Without any hesitation I threw that hunk of metal in the trash and said, "nope, not today nicotine." Without KTC I would have most definitely taken a drag for old times sake, that is where the line is drawn. Another victory.

Great fucking feeling, isn't it? 

I remember that I used to "store" my nearly empty cans on a shelf in the basement so the wife didn't find them (That's another story about how I hid it from those around me during times of my life.).  Forgot about them and ran across them once I was quit.  Finding them made me feel like a douche but throwing them away brought quite the smile to my face.

Good for you man.  Keep it up.
Congrats on the win brother!!
That is a huge win, thanx for sharing!
I'm with them^^^ Victory!

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

One year... one year of my life reclaimed from Big Tobacco. By the power of the Most High God, I am free from the nicodemon, and to Him I owe all praise. Thinking back to my day one, all sorts of feelings come flooding in, 95% joy, accomplishment, satisfaction, and peace. However the other (raging at times) 5% is disgust, anger, and disappointment with myself. The good feelings are self explanatory, we all know these feelings by now and hallelujah that we do! That other 5% is something I'm sure we are all to familiar with as well. How could I have given 10 years of my health, life, time, and money to POISON? It's unnerving that a cancerous substance that tricks you into thinking you need it, is openly available for consumption. Especially available at the the young age of 18 (now 21). Yes, I have not consumed nicotine in 368 days, but the thought of having "just one" is ever present, controllable, but ever present. It sucks that I will have that thought for the rest of my life based off of a dumb decision I made when I was 17 (a kid...). Whatever, it is what it is now. All I can do is control what I can control and that means taking this quit journey ODAAT. That is the only way to remain quit, make it 24 hours, wash, rinse, repeat. To any active nicotine consumer reading this, spit the dip out now and flush your stash. Start your quit NOW. Not tomorrow, NOW. "Tomorrow" never comes.
Spoken like a true QUIT hero!  My hat is off sir...

Congrats brother!
Thanks man! -AO
Congrats and great work. Just stay loyal to the routine that got you here.
I most certainly plan on it brother. Once again @Keith0617 thank you for pointing me in the right direction when I first joined the forums. You were instrumental in starting my quit. Will not let you or the rest of KTC down.
