Came here a few days ago in midst of marital separation, knowing that revealing ninja habit and that I'd lied so many times about it would further damage chances or reconciliation.

Still ... took the plunge. Quit yesterday as well as confessed to spouse.

Thank you for posting that a person can decide to quit in the midst of family problems.

(I'm thinking that regardless of reconciliation or divorce, the result will be that there will be one more man on the plant who can think, reason, feel, and confront issues without the crutch of nicotine.)

Day 215, to date I have been through a separation/Divorce, financial ruin, a close call with what could have been oral cancer, the fighting for the custody of my children, another close call with throat cancer, and much, much, more, all the time I was starting and living my quit. All the time I have posted roll every day 100% since joining KTC. I have been active in my quit group, and 2 other quit groups as they entered the HOF, I was HOF conductor for one of those months. Why say all this because the last sentence is why I have 215 days, the first 3 sentences were all excuses I could have used to cave. Instead I used participation to defeat the nic bitch. This is the secret of KTC plain and simple. The other plans of post and ghost and I don't need to exchange numbers don't work they are lies to yourself and others.

Inspirational Testimony Wep! Thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing that there are still rough days out there beyond the HOF and that they can be overcome. We all need to hear that. Hang in there bro through the tough times. To steal a phrase from someone else here at KTC, "No problems can be made better by poisoning yourself."

Congrats on 200 days. I quit with you today!
Just one and you will be back where you started.
And where you started was desperately wishing
you were where you are right now.

day 178 and I still face triggers, I still crave, heck I still argue with myself at the gas station when I walk by the death counter. So if I'm still facing this at 178 day how the hell are people leaving after their 100 days. Either I'm severely addicted still, or someone else has gotten over confident and are setting themselves up for a fall. With all the stories of people falling back into old habits after 200+ days do I think I'm the abnormal story here...no. Any new quitter, potential quitter, and veteran quitter reading this remember the principle that KTC works on is simple make a single promise every morning first thing, not to use nicotine for that day, then keep that promise. Come back tomorrow and do it again. After 100 days am I cured, absolutely not, do have the strength, rational thinking and separation to make an intelligent decision about caving, yes, and If I'm not sure if my choice is right I have many quit brothers and sisters to ask if I'm doing the right thing. This place works if you use it the way it was intended, plain and simple.

As I sit back and look over the last 87 days and ahead to lies in wait, I can't thank enough the members of my group and the close friends I've made, without whom I would not be getting close to he 100 day mark. They have looked out for my when I was to wrapped up in my life to look out for myself. They have forced me to rise above myself and reach new heights. I am proud and humbled to quit with them.
Remember....day 100 is an excellent milestone to have in your sights, however, don't approach it like a cure. You are not cured. You will never be cured. Enjoy your first day in triple digits.......you cannot get to 100 if you cannot do today....

-Lady G
I agree 100 is just a number, a means to an end, that end being quit forever. There are many numbers leading to and past 100.
