I don't know what I'm doing?

I found KTC while planning how to quit.
I've taken some steps but still alittle
afraid of caving again. 38 yr of slavery
And I can't fail again.

Day 2 cold turkey

Feeling ok fighting the urge off
Congratulations on your quit!

Remember, "cold turkey" means no nic patches, gum or tobacco products. Period.

The central part of KTC and its success is posting roll call every day.
Head on over to the WELCOME CENTER (link in red at the upper left of your screen) and read all about posting roll. Then go to the July 2012 group and get started.

Also read everything you can under this link: KillTheCan.org.
Information is power when it comes to quitting.

The initial days of quitting suck, but your life is worth the fight!!
If you need anything else, just shout.

Hey Benny got some info for you, has a few links for posting roll:

Well here is the deal with KTC, we are basically a cold turkey program, we don't utilize nicotine replacement therapy such as nicorette gum.

We come in each day and promise to our brothers that we will remain quit for the rest of the day, the next day we come and do the same thing.

People come in here and bust balls, they go in the chat and talk about the issues they are having, they call fellow quit group members and ask for help. We remain quit one day at a time.

We have milestones, the biggest and the first is reaching 100 days quit without NRT, this is called the Hall of Fame, the time when you reach HOF is your quit group so if you stopped all nicotine on March 20th you would be in the June 2012 group.

When in your group you post roll call, this is your promise to quit today, tomorrow you come in and repeat. Remember, we are addicts, we are junkies to nicotine, it takes a strong will and assistance to stay quit.

Here is the welcome center
index.php?showforum=13

Here is how to post roll call
index.php?showtopic=50

Here is the June quit group
index.php?showtopic=6044

Welcome to our group, if you buy into the program it can save your life.

Stay quit my friend.

I'm only on day 4.  Is it normal to feel a rush every now and then?  Its not bad (kind of like it) and only lasts a few seconds,  almost feels like your inhaling helium balloons...

Yeah got it too but starting to fade now at the end of day five. Also it feels like im awake while I'm dreaming at night. Effin wierd
I experienced stuff like this early on in my quit. Your mind and your body are adjusting to the absence of the nicotine.

You're learning to be the real you all over again!!

Keep going. It's worth the fight; believe me!
Keddy,

I don't mind it at all. Its just kind of weird!
If I'm not quit its cause I died. :)

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."


A Quit Plan: Do you have one?


CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit.
After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco. SportDad 1/13/05

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light.-
Good-night, dear heart, good-night.

Be silly, be honest, be kind
