Here I go again, tomorrow is the last first day.

What in the hell are you doing on the roof?

[Raider]

So I was tested again today. Headaches like all get out. I also fell off a ladder trying to get on a roof. Back in the day I would have caved but not today. The cravings were strong today so I picked up some Smokey Mountain. Keep on quitting.

I know what you're saying with sitting. Legit, I notice that when I sit down I feel off balance since I have my wallet in my back right pocket and the back left is empty now. But it's a great feeling to be off balance for such a good reason.

End of day 10 and what a difficult day today was. Haven't really had the fog so many mention but keeping my guard up. I had a bit more relaxation today and I found that when I sit, I think about the dip. Driving today was fine, now I just gotta figure out how to relax without having the Nic bitch call my name. I do have a shitload of projects that I have been putting off because of a lack of funds. Now that I spend no more on dip, I can get to work. In the end, today was great because I stayed quit. Keep on quitting my brothers and sisters.

As I leave the single digits I wonder why it was so hard before and what makes it so easy now. I am constantly reminded about what mogul replied on day 1. It's all about attitude. Today was a grea day. Spent the day wth the family, did some shopping, went out for lunch, went bowling, and finished up by hitting the hot tub. No craves or urges to speak of. Keeping busy has helped a tremendous amount. Keeping my mind focused on other things keeps the thoughts off of dip. I actually think more about it when I am on here and that's okay because the reminder of why I quit and that I am not alone is what keeps me going.

As I leave the single digits and enter the double digits I only have one thing to say to the Nic bitch that haunted my life for so many years. 'Finger'

Keep it up brother. You are doing great. Do no piss of Mogul! And you are absolutely correct. If you stic with the program quitting is incredibly easy.

As day 8 ends, day 9 begins. Went on a 1.5 hours drive today. Driving was always a serious trigger for me. This time was no different. I thought about it, then I thought about something else. I drove by a c-store and thought to myself, "the nic bitch is hiding in there behind the counter". Needless to say I drove past and got to my destination. When we are trying to battle this addiction alone, she can be very effective at what she does but when we have a group of bad ass quitters looking out for one another, she doesn't stand a chance. Use the tools we have here on KTC. Get onto Live Chat if you need to talk to someone FAST. Read and Post Roll. Quit on June Jackwaggins.

Good for you Raider. Driving has also been a big trigger for me, and I'm glad I haven't had to make any long drives since I quit. Way to stay strong and QLF.

Day 7 and the mornings get easier and easier. The urge to grab a can is gone. In the past it never seemed to go away but this time is different, this time I have KTC. Mogul asked me on day 1 if I was weak. This was in regards to my intro. This is all about attitude and will only work if you follow the 2 basic rules, 1). Stay nic free 2). Post Roll Daily. For all the people just "looking" at this site or for the newbies, you can do this and be nic free if you really want it. You CAN be Nic FREE.

Here is the last thing I want to say to the Nic Bitch before I go today: 'Finger'

Quit on Brothers and Sisters, quit on

[Mogul]

Dude, if you drop pounds while quit early on you are one of the few. but, hey gong rats. (My auto correct spelled "congrats" like that once, so I just go with it.). don't worry about weight or anything else in this stage. Just stay quit. everything else can be fixed when the Nic Bitch is just a squiggly little dying worm.

[Raider]

This afternoon I was getting ready for a shower and I heard this faint voice say to me, " hey tubby, looks like you put on a couple pounds since you left me". See in the past I used dip to control my eating. This time I told the Nic Bitch to F Off. I'm done with listening to her sultry words. As a matter of fact I think I'm down about 2 pounds.

That the hell is a trollup? Glad to NOT be a newbie anymore but a trollup!!!!!


I am ;Ironman:

[Raider]

A new life without the can begins. Just flushed the remaining and am encouraged by what I have read on this site. I will avoid C-Stores at all costs. Gum will be my friend.

As I was looking back at my journey of quitting I came across this post where I said I will avoid C-Stores at all cost. That's bullshit. I walked into one today and told the clerk to never sell me any of that shit again. Said look at my face and you know my truck. I don't ever want any. We can't hide from our addiction. We gotta learn to face it head on like a mother fucker. I see the racks now and I put them on ignore. 110% ATTITUDE HERE.

I can honestly say that the difference in quitting now than when I had quit some time ago is because I finally found KTC. Quitting long term (I.e. Forever) is hard. Quitting today is easy. It seems like its a short term goal. ODAAT. Accountability is the other main factor. Posting Roll seemed a bit weird at first but after being on here 5 days, I totally get it. It's also a way to keep track of our brothers and sisters. Quit on my friends, quit on.

That's why I am here every day at least for a drive by. Usually a lot longer but sometimes I get busy. The difference is the membership and what they stand for and that they don't let excuses, weakness, or a politically correct agenda stop them from holding their values of quit.

Yeah, and you know what's even "weirder" than posting roll? Giving your phone number to a bunch of cool-ass motherfuckers on the internet who call you up on Sunday morning at 08:30 and ask "Hey, are you still fucking quit?!!?" And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. I love this shit.
