What's your best advice for making it through Day 1?
Find a quit group.
Post roll.
Stop "trying".
Start "doing".

I'm not telling you it's easy... it's not. But it's 100% doable. You're no more addicted than anyone else here. There are thousands of folks who are MORE addicted than you are, chew more than you do, have more stress than you do, deal with more at work than you do, etc. And they're quit.

When you're ready... truly ready... we can help.

Welcome aboard. Make it happen. Grab freedom by the balls.

Stop making excuses and Quit. It took me 29+ years to finally commit to my Quit, and when I did, that was it.

Close the door on that bitch. She's a dirty whore.

Embrace freedom. We've walked the walk, and will do most anything to help you on your path.

Start by reading EVERYTHING here. There is more knowledge about this subject here, than anywhere else. Promise.

It ain't easy, but it's simple:

1. Post Roll EVERY day.

2. Keep your WORD.

3. Repeat.

It'll be the hardest thing you've ever done, but so, so worth it.

Happy New Year quitters! Welcome to our newest members!!!
I quit 10 days ago and have already saved about $30 bucks. Long way to go, but hoping I end up saving a fortune, but saving my life is my goal!
Hi and Welcome DL Mitchell--- the more you go all in here, the better your chances are to quit. Post roll every day in your class- August 2014. Read all you can on the site to learn about the addiction we are all fighting. And make friends- build out a network of accountability and support- that's critical! Two good ways to do that are 1- go to the Introductions section and start a threat about yourself, and keep a log of what you experience on that thread, and 2- try the chat. If this is a little confusing, try going to the Welcome Center first- in the upper left area of the webpage here.

Glad you are quitting with all of us here!
This info helped me early on, and still does today: https://whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html

Quitters I’ve met so far: Ihatecope, >Pinched<, T-Cell, grizzlyhasclaws, Canvasback, BaseballPlayer, Cbird65, ERDVM, BradleyGuy, Ted, Zeno, AppleJack, Bronc, Knockout, MookieBlaylock, Rdad, 2mch2lv4, MN_Ben, Natro, Lippizaner, Amquash, ChristopherJ, GDubya, SRohde  -- always eager to meet more!

Quote from: Stephen43
I am an addict and can't stop. I came to Kill the Can way back when, oh, it must be about 9 years now, when a group from another quit site established this site. I was in ACORD. Then I caved after over a year. Since then, I have been a serial caver. I have since re-joined several times after and failed in my quit. I am a serial caver. Let me tell you that it's not any better on this side, being a serial caver. I am weak and ashamed that I can't do this.

I know that I would not be welcome back to any pre-HOF groups, as well as it should be. I am going to do a self pre-HOF myself and take it day by day. My chances of success are slim. I have made it to the fourth floor twice and failed. I have no business asking for support of any one here. I let all the people in the many groups that I was with down. I cannot support them. In fact, the admins here may choose to delete this post and banish me from the site. I can understand that. Hopefully that doesnt happen so I can use all of the resources of this site and all that I think I have learned about caving, and serial caving to stop.

I remember when I was quit, and just driving by c-stores. I loved that feeling. I don't know if I'll be able to do it. The odds are against me. But, I have to do it for me. Maybe that's what it takes.
You still don't get it.

Cut the mamby pamby whoa is me nonsense and grow a pair and quit....over at quitsmokeless.org.

For any new folks here, do not waste a single bit of effort on this guy.
Guess you conveniently forgot you spent 330+ days in April 12 and i know for a fact you had my digits so get your shit straight - post your 3 answers and get busy quitting or get gone
I was wondering why I got dooshbumps today driving home....
Stevie, I remember you....you didn't do shit in the Glass House. We even came looking for you once or twice. But you always hid in the basement by yourself (your "self pre HOF"). Always by yourself. Then, you decided to wander AGAIN....right back to the Well of Shame and Death. In this thread I always see either 1. badass quitters offering help to newbs or 2. newbs ready to take back their lives. You are neither.

V 863.
WOW! I love it! No room for pity here, glad I joined!

I am an addict and can't stop. I came to Kill the Can way back when, oh, it must be about 9 years now, when a group from another quit site established this site. I was in ACORD. Then I caved after over a year. Since then, I have been a serial caver. I have since re-joined several times after and failed in my quit. I am a serial caver. Let me tell you that it's not any better on this side, being a serial caver. I am weak and ashamed that I can't do this.

I know that I would not be welcome back to any pre-HOF groups, as well as it should be. I am going to do a self pre-HOF myself and take it day by day. My chances of success are slim. I have made it to the fourth floor twice and failed. I have no business asking for support of any one here. I let all the people in the many groups that I was with down. I cannot support them. In fact, the admins here may choose to delete this post and banish me from the site. I can understand that. Hopefully that doesnt happen so I can use all of the resources of this site and all that I think I have learned about caving, and serial caving to stop.

I remember when I was quit, and just driving by c-stores. I loved that feeling. I don't know if I'll be able to do it. The odds are against me. But, I have to do it for me. Maybe that's what it takes.
You still don't get it.

Cut the mamby pamby whoa is me nonsense and grow a pair and quit....over at quitsmokeless.org.

For any new folks here, do not waste a single bit of effort on this guy.
Guess you conveniently forgot you spent 330+ days in April 12 and i know for a fact you had my digits so get your shit straight - post your 3 answers and get busy quitting or get gone
I was wondering why I got dooshbumps today driving home....
Stevie, I remember you....you didn't do shit in the Glass House. We even came looking for you once or twice. But you always hid in the basement by yourself (your "self pre HOF"). Always by yourself. Then, you decided to wander AGAIN....right back to the Well of Shame and Death. In this thread I always see either 1. badass quitters offering help to newbs or 2. newbs ready to take back their lives. You are neither.
