Hello, and My day 2

[wmcatty]

Welcome aboard Compton...and nice job of posting your Day 2 today. Since you have posted roll, I want to take a moment to explain the rationale behind why we do it and what it means to us. Roll is your daily promise to yourself and all of your new brothers and sisters that you will not use tobacco in any form that day. You will post your name and the number of days you are quit each day in the April, 2014 quit group. Each and every day you will post your promise. No exceptions. That is the price of admission to KTC. Nothing more and nothing less. If your electricity quits working, your internet provider goes bankrupt or you are on vacation and will not have internet access, call or text a quit brother and tell the brother to post for you. Simple and easyÂ…and therefore, no reason for not posting roll. The reason you are put in April is that will be the month that you will celebrate being 100 days free of nicotineÂ…your Hall of Fame date. Now, look up at your inbox (1) and you will see a message from me with my telephone number. Call me with any questions or concerns. Congratulations on making the best decision of your life. Wayne

Thanks guys. I think I figured out the roll thing, and I intend to do this with no patches/gums/etc. I want out entirely.

I'm 39, married with two little girls who have just become aware of my habit, which i always promised would motivate a quit.  Well, here we are.  I have been dipping a can of Kodiak per day since I was 19.  After an unrelated medical issue landed me in a hospital for several days this week, I had lots of time to ruminate on my life, how lucky I am, and how I need to put this self-destructive habit behind me for good.

I had my last dip yesterday, 1/7/14.  I'm just passing the 24 hour mark, and it sucks.

I promise to get through today.

Way to go Compton! That is how it's done! As crazy as this sounds, if you are committed to this, posting roll will help you the most of anything you can do for yourself. Keep in mind this is a nicotine free site so you have to chunk all forms of this drug to be good here(I mean patches, gum, whatever)! Other than that that if you need anything pm me!!!!

Worry about being quit today. Tomorrow is a non issue. Just put your heart, mind and might into surviving today. Once you win and claim victory today. You put another notch on your belt.

No thinking you are quit forever...for now....You only promise you will be quit on Today's

Welcome to the April 2014 group Brother! Go to the Welcome area and learn about Posting Roll where you will put in your name and day every day. Posting Roll is the one most important thing you do on here. It is where you commit to the rest of us in your group that you quit today.

I quit with you today!

7:30 pm EST and no roll post. This is a quit I'm supposed to believe in?

Come on KO  ZC, we don't post on weekends....do we???? Sarcasm

WTF Compton??? Why the hell are we bothering to check on you when you don't even give a shit to post roll over the weekend, or did you just have a few day stop and then nuzzle up to the bitch again??? Grow a set!

I know "Compton". Grew up in the same small town and graduated from the same high school. He was a year younger than me and super smart. He went on to graduate from the University of Michigan and is now a lawyer.

Thinking maybe he out smarted himself. Perhaps went on-line and gathered a ton of data and determined that dipping really wasn't that bad for you, so he justified going back to the can again.

Pretty obvious that deep down he knows that his life would be better off without it...hence his "comeback".

A few problems though...I think he's severely underestimating the power of addicting and besides that I don't think he really wants to quit.

Talking about quitting is easy. Putting in the work and actually doing it is hard. When the novelty of quitting wears off and you realize, "oh man, this shit is REAL" those who truly want to quit find a way to remain so. Those who don't find a way back to the can.

Looks like in this case, despite the big talk, the juice wasn't worth the squeeze to Compton.

Damn shame, I was really pulling for him.

Quit on...

Reading this is why I come here. I find no joy in the failure of others. It reminds me how difficult this addiction really is and
how hard it is to beat. Having examples like this in front of me strengthen my quit. Quit on Brothers!!

Damn.....just...... Damn! The tin wins again!

[slings]

Pretty fuckin disappointing. You have to be pretty smart to be a lawyer but pretty stupid to say all that stuff on the 15th, then run back and throw some cat shit in your mouth till your jaw falls off. I guarantee you'll rationalize how it isn't that bad for you until all of a sudden...it gets pretty fuckin bad (sore gums, cheeks, stained teeth). I did the same thing, and you don't realize where you are until you stop. Get your head screwed on straight

...And I don't see him on roll today either. WTF.

Words don't mean shit. Clearly he was just talking out of his butt. Didn't make an effort to build his web in April '14 and didn't in his new group either (as no one has his number).

Don't be like this guy, new quitters. Make sure at least 5 people in your group have your number, and hold them accountable each day.

Brotherhood + Accountability = Success

Today is day 4. I had a cave dream last night. I used to hate them, but compared to "cave reality," it really felt nice. Feeling strong this morning.

I'm also on day 4 in my third attempt to quit. My last quit attempt got me to 42 days. I got cocky and thought that I was strong enough to have a chew while drinking on a Friday night and forget about it come Saturday morning. Well I was right but then Sunday morning rolled around and I bought a can thinking I'd just have a couple chews a week. Well one thing led to another and I was right back to a can or a little more than a can a day.

This time I can't allow myself to cave. I have to have back surgery and nicotine can prevent bone from healing properly. I need this surgery to go well because I can't handle the constant pain for much longer.

I wish you the best. Are you also part of the May 2016 HOF group?
