Where is @WonPump - Day 2 - 5 pm. You need to post every day.

I’m here. Learning my way around the site on iPhone, don’t have a desktop or laptop. Staying busy today best I can, just posted roll. Last night was tough, couldn’t get to sleep. One thing and one thing only was on my mind. I ate some junk food instead. Thankfully nice weather day in NY so did some work outside. Will post roll tomorrow morning and won’t delay it, that’s my fault. Thanks for holding me accountable! Need it. I have gotten a lot of messages. Thankful for all of them. Sending my number to some of you guys who have reached out. Would welcome some quit buddies. I’ve been on day 2 about 10 times, this is going to be the last time. Thanks everyone

Congrats @WonPump on posting in August.  You will not regret it.  You got some good advise below.  Key is to make it through the moment...the minute...the hour...the day.  They will begin to stack and get easier.  When you get that F* it crave, post in your group or, better yet, contact a fellow quitter.  Your fortitude along with the groups support and accountability and you will do this man.  My number is in your box in case when you need it.

I revised Hag's last sentence above because sharing digits is critically important on a site like this that is built around accountability. You will need support; that's why you are here. If you don't dive in and invest everything you have, KTC can't function as it designed. So step outside the comfort zone and start connecting with your fellow quitters TODAY.

Welcome Brian!  Saw your post in August.  This is a fine day to be quit!  You are not alone in your Quit.  We are Quit with you.

 A few things that help Me:

1) WUPP- wake up, piss, post.  Post your name, number of days and promise to stay quit in the forum first thing in the morning.
2) Contact other quitters and exchange phone numbers.  I text a daily promise to about 12 other quitters.  It’s not just a promise...it is also practice in using text or phone.  Phone gets really heavy when you haven’t practiced using it.  Build your network of quit bro’s.
3) sign in later in the day to check for messages in the forum
4) respond to all questions, tags or messages.

I don’t look forward to the struggle...
That ^^^ needs to change.

It sounds odd but, dude, look forward to the struggle! That struggle means you’re taking your addict mindset, flipping it off and screaming “Fuck. You!” and taking your freedom back!

Too many times I’ve seen fear cripple that first step into freedom. Hell... that fear kept me from quitting for 25 years. Once I made that decision and owned it, I never looked back. There wasn’t a magic story that I read... I didn’t need one. Be your own story bro. Be the story that the next guy needs. You CAN take control over poison soaked weed in a tin.
No more whining and hoping something clicks.

Make it click.
Take charge.

Find your quit group... join in... post your quit roll every day... get involved... stay involved.

Freedom waits, bro.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Hello everyone, my name is Brian and I’m 31. I’ve used dip for the better part of 13 years now. This is the first time I’ve ever typed those numbers out, and seeing I’ve dipped nearly half my life at this point is surreal. I’ve lurked on this website before, on nights like tonight where I can’t sleep, looking for the one magic post that will make it all click for me. Hoping something I read makes it easy. I’ve quit at times, for 2 days, for months even, but I’ve always gone back. Tonight is my time, it’s happening for good.

I have put myself through a whirlwind of health problems over this CRAP. I haven’t been diagnosed, but I believe I now have Crohn’s disease stemming from dip. My stomach basically always hurts, I’m rarely comfortable and how I feel on a scale from 1-10 (it’s honestly never over about 5 or 6) is truly day to day.

I’m just ready to feel better. There’s no magical quit story that has clicked for me, although everyone here is truly inspirational. I’ve been here before like I said, at 3 or 4am feeling like crap reading about quits and what to expect here on KTC. I wish I never put that first dip in at a party my first week of college. But I did and now after 13 years of bad decisions I owe it to myself to finally make one good one.

I will need support. And encouragement. I’m a grown man but this is a tough fight. Quarantine and unemployment won’t help (I live in NY). But I’ve seen you guys do it and I’m ready to walk alongside you all.

I’m off to bed, at nearly 5am. Another night of getting that last dip in and being wide awake all night. THE LAST NIGHT. I don’t look forward to the struggle but I do look forward to earning my place amongst you all.
Solid intro and yearning for freedom. I can relate to the stomach problems 100% and the day to day how I'm feeling scale. It's a tough road and very curvey but it's possible to navigate. Can't wait to see that day 1 roll call post from you.

@WonPump here is the link to taking your freedom back https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16445.0 . We wake up, piss, and post our promise to stay nicotine free for the day. Keep your promise for the day and repeat the following day. Only worry about today. We will deal with tomorrow when it gets here. Exchanging numbers and building relationships on the site is normal and highly recommended. Only exchange digits through personal messages and not on the forum or here in the Intro section. Shoot me a message if I can help at all. You can do this and we are here to help.

@WonPump

Welcome my friend.  Sounds like you are snapped in and motivated.  Next step for you is to post roll.  When did you say you had your last dip? 

Since you have been lurking around the site, I won't repeat what you have already gleaned.  Know you are not alone.  Know there is someone here, and probably many, who have been where you are and have had the feelings and thoughts you are struggling with.  Know the folks here care about you and will go out of their way to support you in your endeavor.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

PTBQWYT my friend.  Hold that line.

Wonpump,

Today is the day!  Great intro that shows you are a lot like us and you are not alone. You can win this fight one day at a time. I quit with you today.
