Thanks for sharing - I loved your comparison between you last attempt and this one --huge difference and a bunch for me to learn...... I am on my second round -
HOF May - caved in June!

Thanks man. I'm my glad my ramblings were helpful to you! Stories like yours scare the crap out of me! It blows my mind how many times I hear about guys that make it to the HOF and then cave. I want to learn from guys who have been down that road so it doesn't happen to me! What happened? If you could go back in time to your 100th day what would you tell yourself to save your quit??

Day 27

Its been 15 days since i posted in here and man, have things changed. People kept telling me it gets easier and it has! I haven't had any fog in 10+ days, no rage - but I never really had that anyway, and very few cravings if any at all. I spent 5 days at the ranch doing some work getting ready for hunting season - without a dip!! I have NEVER done that before and it was shockingly not that big of a deal. Honestly, it is kind of scary how easy it has been lately.

My biggest fear at this point is that I will become complacent and then get blindsided when it gets rough again which I have no doubt it will at some point. To prepare for that I am continuing to stay connected by texting my quit brothers on a regular basis, checking in with guys that are late on roll, as well as reading, chatting, and helping out where I can.

Another thing I have added to my quit that has been incredibly helpful is adding another roll post. I created a text group with 7 family members and close friends that have been extra supportive of my quit. Every day after I post roll on KTC, I go and post roll in that group as well. I cannot begin to explain how helpful it has been to commit to be nicotine free to people that I will actually see almost every day.

Things are pretty good right now and while they are I am shoring things up, burning bridges, and preparing myself so when the tough days do come I will be ready to survive them.

I would love to hear from the old timers around here about this. Is it normal for it to be this easy at this point? Am I missing something? Is there anything else I need to do during this time to prepare for tough times that inevitably will come?

Honestly man, when times are good...enjoy the fuck out of them.

But, plan as well. You're spreading your accountability around into your real life. That's awesome. Have you picked up a new quitter and helped him get through the first few days? Are you talking to your new friends about other stuff besides quitting and cultivating friendships? Are you planning to be quit?

When times are good...plan for the bad. Build defenses. Strengthen the bars you put on the door. When times are bad, lean.

Good advice! I just pm'd a couple of day 2 guys!

My quit was the same... it was "easy" other than a few craves pretty early.

It honestly scared the shit out of me. I knew that keeping my guard up would be something that I would struggle with- that I would have to deliberately and purposefully keep that guard up.

Roll Call is my lock and load.

Bigreddude44 -day 13 - I'll never be on day 12 again!

This is my roll post from February 14, 2013 during my last failed attempt at quitting. Its pretty much a kick in the face because here I am, AGAIN, on day 12. However, it is also a reminder to me of the stark differences between that day 12 and this day 12.

That day 12
I had zero numbers in my phone.
I communicated with no one about my quit.
I felt like I was all alone.
Posting roll was just about all I did to work on my quit.
I was consumed with the thought of how awful life without snuff was going to be.
I never considered helping someone on the edge of a cave.

This day 12
I have 11 numbers in my phone.
I communicate everyday with almost all of them.
I feel like, no I know that I am not alone in this.
Posting roll is just the beginning of what I do every day to work on my quit.
I am consumed with the thought of how awesome a life without snuff will be.
I am a crusader for those on edge of a cave. - Seriously, talking someone off of a ledge fires me up! Hit me up! I will fight for you!

I could go on and on but suffice it to say the differences between then and now are vast.

Last time I was playing quit, this time I am quit.

I just got Quit wood!

Way to go BRD!

I'm not gonna lie Norlaq, when you comment positively on one of my posts, it's like my Dad walked in the room and patted me on the back! Thanks for everything you've done to help me kick the nic-B to the curb!

Please make no mistake BRD, reading that kind of stuff just helps me pick my head up when shit is hitting the perverbial fan. I'm not Superman. I need support too. I'm just another addict trying to help, and in return, looking for and getting help from other addicts like you. You newer guys need to get it in your heads that YOU all are helping just as much as you think 'we' are.

Quit on brother.

some good shit here ^^

BRD, the first time around you just stuck your toe in the water, but this time you jumped right in; what a difference! This is one of the reasons new quitters need to read intro threads. Posting roll is the cornerstone of KTC, but you don't have a building if you stop at the cornerstone... You are a great example of owning your quit by working your quit. I promise you that one day soon your quit will become much easier, but until then keep working it balls out brother! QLF with you all day! Woo! I'm fired up now baby, great stuff going on here!

You're shaping up to be a bad ass quitter. I'm damned proud to be quit with you, Red.

Red... this is awesome!! Man, I feel like walking outside and punching the nic bitch clean in the uterus! Keep up the good fight brother.

Big Red Dude is a big nic Killa! Proud to be ya Cajun quit brotha from another motha!

BRD, Just stumbled on your Intro now! I can tell you really WANT to quit this time!!! Embrace everything (almost) you find here. Folks that go in with both feet, open up to complete strangers, and stick around are the most likely to stay quit for the long haul. You won't find better support than here anywhere!!! You might even make a few (or many) friends here along the way in your quit journey as well. I am going on 6 years quit and still post my promise daily now after using for as long or longer than you whether it was dip, smokes or both!!! Had my first smoke in the 2nd grade and the rest was history. Proud to be quit with you and enav today!!! Keep up the good fight! Its WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn glad BRD posted his day 1 before the cut off date. He has made October a stronger quit group.

Hey Big Red, you're starting to draw attention to yourself....and I mean that in a good way. I'm guessing you're gonna be the kind of quitter that other quitters look up to. Nicely done so far! Quitting with you all day!

Your doing a great job of building that network around you. Take a look at it. See the folks standing beside you. See the folks looking up to you. And know that if you cave you could take some of those folks down with you. True statement bro. This is actually a good thing. By being a part in others Quit, it solidifies your Quit. When those dreaded thoughts of "just one won't hurt" come, and they will, you will remember all those that stand with you and it will enable you to continue to stand. Proud to be quit with you.

Nice work red!

You're a real inspiration Red. I went to pilot training at Reese AFB and all three of my kids go to TTU. I'm a recovering 37 year dipper - I'm on day 165 of my quit. It really didn't start to get easier until about 140 - 150 days for me. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer and hope your quit is easier than mine. I prayed before my quit and asked Jesus to give me the strength and perseverance to see this thru. He has filled his end of the bargain - I'll never dip again but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck because it does suck!!! It just took 150 days for the suck to become manageable for me. I laughed hard at your comment about opening day of dove season and dipping (it opens the first Saturday in Sep, not necessarily 1 SEP ). I just can't imagine opening day without a dip - oh well, never again. NAFAR!!

Dude, you are true inspiration. I'm honored to be quitting with you.

King Solomon was right:

"Two are better than one...
If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

[Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10, 12]

Thanks man! You inspire me a ton as well! This is one of my favorite verses!! 2 are better than one = we are not alone! I started to text you today and say something like: "we have so much in common we should talk more often." But then I thought, we barely have anything in common. You're from New York, I'm from Texas. You've never seen a ranch. I grew up on one. You've never been hunting. I've hunted all my life. You love baseball. I can't stay awake for a game to save my life. However, we both love Jesus and we both hate that whore Nicky so ya, we do have a lot in common. At least the stuff that really matters anyway! Haha
I Quit with you all day long, bro! All day long! And ya, we should talk more often!

Bigreddude44 -day 13 - I'll never be on day 12 again!

This is my roll post from February 14, 2013 during my last failed attempt at quitting. Its pretty much a kick in the face because here I am, AGAIN, on day 12. However, it is also a reminder to me of the stark differences between that day 12 and this day 12.

That day 12
I had zero numbers in my phone.
I communicated with no one about my quit.
I felt like I was all alone.
Posting roll was just about all I did to work on my quit.
I was consumed with the thought of how awful life without snuff was going to be.
I never considered helping someone on the edge of a cave.

This day 12
I have 11 numbers in my phone.
I communicate everyday with almost all of them.
I feel like, no I know that I am not alone in this.
Posting roll is just the beginning of what I do every day to work on my quit.
I am consumed with the thought of how awesome a life without snuff will be.
I am a crusader for those on edge of a cave. - Seriously, talking someone off of a ledge fires me up! Hit me up! I will fight for you!

I could go on and on but suffice it to say the differences between then and now are vast.

Last time I was playing quit, this time I am quit.

I just got Quit wood!

Way to go BRD!

I'm not gonna lie Norlaq, when you comment positively on one of my posts, it's like my Dad walked in the room and patted me on the back! Thanks for everything you've done to help me kick the nic-B to the curb!

Please make no mistake BRD, reading that kind of stuff just helps me pick my head up when shit is hitting the perverbial fan. I'm not Superman. I need support too. I'm just another addict trying to help, and in return, looking for and getting help from other addicts like you. You newer guys need to get it in your heads that YOU all are helping just as much as you think 'we' are.

Quit on brother.

some good shit here ^^

BRD, the first time around you just stuck your toe in the water, but this time you jumped right in; what a difference! This is one of the reasons new quitters need to read intro threads. Posting roll is the cornerstone of KTC, but you don't have a building if you stop at the cornerstone... You are a great example of owning your quit by working your quit. I promise you that one day soon your quit will become much easier, but until then keep working it balls out brother! QLF with you all day! Woo! I'm fired up now baby, great stuff going on here!

You're shaping up to be a bad ass quitter. I'm damned proud to be quit with you, Red.

Red... this is awesome!! Man, I feel like walking outside and punching the nic bitch clean in the uterus! Keep up the good fight brother.

Big Red Dude is a big nic Killa! Proud to be ya Cajun quit brotha from another motha!

BRD, Just stumbled on your Intro now! I can tell you really WANT to quit this time!!! Embrace everything (almost) you find here. Folks that go in with both feet, open up to complete strangers, and stick around are the most likely to stay quit for the long haul. You won't find better support than here anywhere!!! You might even make a few (or many) friends here along the way in your quit journey as well. I am going on 6 years quit and still post my promise daily now after using for as long or longer than you whether it was dip, smokes or both!!! Had my first smoke in the 2nd grade and the rest was history. Proud to be quit with you and enav today!!! Keep up the good fight! Its WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
