[Florida Longhorn]

FL Longhorn. Welcome and congrats on the quit. 105 days it great!!

Since you have spent a lot of time on the site reading, I'm sure the next few sentences shouldn't surprise you.

What the fuck took so long? This site works because of the brotherhood and accountability. We (The Sultans) have spend the last 100 days helping each other when needed, calling people out on their BS, and assisting new quiters as they join other group quits. Having been on the site so much you should know how important this part of the program is.... yet you waltz in on 105.. wtf

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy as hell you are quit but come on...

Tell ya what.. Post with me EDD for the next 100 days. If you are still around with a 100% post rate at day 200 I think we can call you a Sultan! Deal?

Owned it. :-) You became a Sultan long ago. Congrats on the 200 and the 100% posting since you joined us!!!

'worship' 'oh yeah'

Hell he was a 100% lurker for the first 105 days. Own up to it FL, I saw you out there daily. Ain't it more fun being part of the team than just watching? Glad you're here.

Thanks to all of the Sultans. I am proud to be a part of a great group. I was late to the party but at least I made it. I know a lot of people on here say it but I will as well. If I can quit dipping anyone can. KTC (all of you) made the difference in this quitter.

What 30isenuff said is completely true. I have consciously decided not to put tobacco in my body for the last few months. I read about how it gets easier but honestly I did not see the craves ease up until after about 90 days. It seems to be getting better daily now but I know I must still decide every day to not do it again. It was a rude awakening to see what the nicotine had done to my mind and my body. I know you guys have been through it but for the first month or so my mind tried to convince me that nicotine was what I had to have at all costs. My 23 years of marriage was almost sacrificed to the nicotine god and I hid from my kids and friends for a while. I don't want to become the loud reformed addict but it is ridiculous what we have done to ourselves and the money we spent. I watched my father die from smoking at an early age and I spent better than 20 years being just as stupid. I have DECIDED to end the foolishness. I have used all of the posts from you guys as my inspiration and want to thank each of you for the help. I also want to remind all of you that you are helping more people than you probably realize. I'm quite sure there are many lurkers that use this site for motivation. I did and wouldn't have posted without some prodding from some of the leaders. Quit on!

Fuckin' gospel truth right there. You know it's a decision you have to make first thing every day. The more time and perspective you have under your belt, the means in which you have to reinforce that decision only get strengthened.

OK guys, I have finally decided to post roll and an introduction. I quit on June 2, 2014 after dipping more than 2 cans a day for the last 20 years or so. I have been on KTC every day since then and have received private messages from several of you including Done4Me, CavMan83, sixercountry and others encouraging me to join in the fun. Even though I have not posted roll until today, I have been a member of KTC and used the resources. I have read tons of introductions, HOF speeches and other articles and have lived through all of the typical results of quitting. Even after over 100 days I am still eating sunflower seeds until my tongue is raw but it is getting easier. I do realize that this is an addiction that I will never be free from and have vowed to myself to never put that crap in my mouth again. Personally, I live in Central Florida, married with three sons and love to fish. I never hid my addiction from anyone and decided that the waste of money and killing myself was absurd. One of the quotes that I found on this site that really keeps me going is that quitting is hard but having your face cut off from cancer is harder. Quit on!

Glad you finally jumped in. Post roll every day. It does get better and better. Welcome.

Florida - You made my day posting roll. Good to see you step up and join the Sultans. You will not regret it.

KTC - Saw this guy and have been trading PMs with him since June. It's good to see he was able to quit just by reading everything he could, without the daily post, without the accountability of text groups and having digits, without the brotherhood that forms in each quit group. That is pretty damn strong in my book.

Now the truly odd part as Cavman said. First roll post and he's a HOFer. Congrats Florida Longhorn on 105 days!

FL Longhorn!!

Welcome and oh by the way, KTC Counts the day you spit it out as day one. I just updated the tracker....dude you're at day 107!!!

Congrats again and welcome...I'm still a bit in awe how you did all this without interacting with us nut jobs (okay maybe not all of us are nut jobs)..

Outstanding. Now you get to right a HOF speech :D

Welcome FL,
Lots of quitters here from florida. I'm certain their are a few near you. I know a badass quitter named Morgan1 lives in Floirda. So does P23 and DIJ. If you can get their numbers your quit accountability will be much stronger.
I have to warn you though, these are very serious quitters. They will hold your feet to the fire.
To me you sound like you want to do this.
The 6th word in your 1st post is the key.
You have to do that 6th word every day that your feet hit the floor or you will cave. Think of how you dipped. You used that 6th word and dipped. Now you will use that word and "be quit" EDD ODAAT.
You will get to know the addict hiding behind the layers of lies that we created with our addiction. The more layers you peel the stronger your quit will be...as long as you keep using the 6th word.
There is much to learn under each layer of quit freedom.
You can do this. You can "be quit". You can help others. You can be free to be the person you're meant to be. Afterall, we were not born with this poison in our mouths.
ODAAT and NAFAR

Welcome to the monkey bin. I too was a late entry to the Sultans, having found this site some 20 days into my quit. Reading as much as possible on KTC has been the fuel that stirs my quit. It's also very therapeutic to respond to some noobie, who's in the dense fog. As the HOF train nears, I still have moments where I sense the nic bitch sneaking up behind me and I need to turn around and kick her in the sack! Get engaged here and QLF! Old ES

Longie, I came here a little late also, Day 62 I believe. I have found I need it more now than ever. This stuff is brutal and you never know when the hardest craves will hit. It's nice to know that when they do, I can always remember my promise here. Quit on.

Welcome aboard. Quit hard and build up accountability with other quitters. It works, if you let it and if you want it.

[Idaho Spuds]

Bignate and Tuco are spot on.
I have hit the HOF, got complacent and failed. I am back on this site, because it works.
We all have to fight this addiction our own way but I realized that I needed the extra accountability and support.
Stay strong, ODAAT

There are several reasons for the delay. First of all this was my first real attempt to quit. I haven't been longer than a few hours without a dip in the last few decades until June 2. After I made it a few days I just kept taking it one day at a time and still do. I never intended on posting roll or participating too much. After a few private messages I have finally decided that I can still use the accountability and I just might be able to help someone else as well. I will take your deal. I will post daily or leave. After 100 days I just now am out of the bad mood. Still think about tobacco but caving is not an option for me any longer.

I'll take it! I quit with you today.

Welcome to the fold, and congrats on hitting the HoF!

I'm afraid I have to disagree with your last statement about caving not being an option anymore. No offense meant at all to you or your resolve (105 days on your own is evidence of that), but the simple truth is that caving is always an option. We choose to keep it off the table one day at a time, sure, but the fact that you recognize that you still need the accountability is a clear and perfectly honest admission of the depths of your addiction - just like the rest of us. Frankly, I'm glad you're here and I'm glad you've signed up for the extra support and accountability. It sends a message to everyone here that no quit is truly "safe" and that the closest form of actual safety comes in numbers.
