BirdÂ’s Top Ten
1 Quit for you. This decision to abstain from ANY and ALL NICOTINE is not based on fear or for anyone else.
2. Post roll every damn day. Affirm daily to yourself and to the brotherhood your decision to protect your quit and theirs.
3. Keep you word. Sounds simple until every hits the fan at once but if you canÂ’t look yourself in the mirror honestly then you are a weak link.
4. Hold your brothers accountable to posting and protecting their quit This will require open lines of communication.
5. Have a sense of humor. Life is serious enough and quitting sucks. We did this to ourselves so own your quit.
6. Special butterflies need not apply regardless of your life story or circumstances. Your finger print is the only unique thing about you. Follow the time tested precepts. You are not God’s gift to “quit” and KTC isn’t broken nor DOES IT NEED FIXING OR REINVENTING!
7. Take what you can and leave the rest. It’s called life – roll with the good and bad.
8. Protect your quit daily and if you have extra energy help a brother out. (old or new, we all need encouragement sometimes) the pay it backward and forward principle. Note help may include a boot in the ass every now and then or a 2x4 upside a thick foggy skull
9. No cure, pill or silver bullet to erase our history of nicotine abuse.
10. Wake up and repeat
Quote from: CBird65
I decided early in my quit that posting roll was going to be a first thing priority. As soon as my feet hit the floor, I walked my happy ass to my office and posted roll call. Nicotine was off the table for the day and I just needed to be a man of my word and keep my promise. In my mindÂ’s eye I was also putting another nail in the door that separated me from the nic bitch and I knew I could never close it 100% if I missed a day.
I also started noticing vets posting with our group and as a way of increasing my accountability, I added a post in their rooms as well. I posted support for them as a tribute to each of those groups/quitters who invested their time and energy in my quit and will continue to support them along with the newbs as long as I have quit in my lungs. Our quits must be 100% our decision to start with but KTC is a brotherhood and a community. We all failed miserably when we attempted to stop on our own. So embrace the brotherhood and allow yourself to be held accountable.
WeÂ’re here for a purpose so what is yours? Find a role to play here and raise the bar of accountability

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021
