I'm happy to be done with this habit I've come to love.
Quitting is a mindset.

This sentence I've highlighted makes me think you're gonna bomb... big. Your mindset is shit.

It's not a habit... it's an addiction. Big difference.
You don't love it... you're owned by your addiction and IT makes you think you "love" it.
Wrong.

I see you failing... prove me wrong.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

I put that out there, i.e. the relax everyone, because I think some people think they should just belittle people and act like an all around asshole. Before it gets to that point, for what I've posted, I figured... We'd all like a big dip I think, I was just saying... I have myself convinced that I will never chew again. Not even the fake shit which would just be a precursor to the real crap. No booze for 90 days, no tobacco ever again.

Hello Tobacco!!! 'Finger'


If me asking you to post roll and abide by the rules makes me an asshole, then I am an asshole and proud of it.

"We'd all like a big dip I think" what does that mean??????????
Excuse me but I don't want no big fat dip and if you wanna make a while here you better start hating the shit ,instead of romanticizing about it! Twort right assholes around here is what saves a lot of caves! Quit on and humble yourself a little after all people trying to help you maybe save your life!
Get on board the quit wagon rokbanned. A better life is here for the taking. The fact that you are wishing you could have a big old fat dip ain't good. You need to hate that shit, and start watching how you talk and think about it. Words are indicative of thoughts. That's why people are jumping all in your shit. They're trying to awaken a drunken conductor and stop a train wreck. We've seen a few before here in these halls. Plus you need to post roll every day. It's the price of admission. Get on board the quit wagon or hit the bricks. Examine your thinking. Focus your hate.

Hey Rok,

I like your reply that everyone can relax now. Where/how did you get that emoticon?

Congrats on your quit and starting this on your own. I did the same. I am at day 107 and the quit is still challenging. The main thing is not to focus on what you are quitting but instead to think about anything else.

What a great way to start your new year. Welcome to KTC.

I quit with you today.

Thanks dude. I basically focus on anything else right about now. I'm lucky enough to have snow, so I can putz around outside shoveling or doing anything other than thinking about a big dip. I still have funky stuff going on with me. Everything feels odd, just odd. My mouth started getting sore about 2 days ago, intermittently. I still get some anxiety and things are just plain funky. I'm happy to be done with this habit I've come to love. The moticon came from the left side of this post, heh heh heh...

Either post roll or find somewhere else to tell your story. That is the price of admission.
the hell are you talking about?
You never heard of roll call on the KTC? Check out the Welcome Center and learn to post roll.

Tomorrow marks the 9 year anniversary of you being gone. I can't believe all that has happened since you have been gone, 3 of the 4 have graduated high school, 2 of the 4 graduated college, 1 had a baby, we all have jobs, we all got our licenses. I honestly never thought I would make it this far. I so wish that you could be here with me, Alexa, Connor, and Tori. Seeing all of the things we have accomlished...and everything that we still have yet to accomplish. Graduating high school, moving in at college, graduating college, having kids, buying a house, baseball games, first jobs, first girlfriends/boyfriends. I know that you are proud of each and everyone of us, but I/we need to hear it from you. We want you to be here to tell us "Nice pitch", "Congratulations on graduating", "Have I told you I loved you yet today?" (which Kenra and I try to do everyday now :)) It is sometimes just hard to get through the day. And to think...all this over a stupid dip...who would have thought?

Rok congrats on your quit. Since the other 3 times it was said didn't get through to you for some reason I will echo. Post roll. Ask some of the guys in your group these questions, they are going through it the same time as you and similar experiences. The vets will chime in and keep people in line.... Spread some of your quit mojo on some people, and pick some up from others. Get involved in your group and Post roll every damn day (EDD).

The shit works when you are held accountable and post our daily quit promise to your quit brothers.

Otherwise you are setting yourself up for trouble down the road bro.

What I wouldn't do for a big fat pinch of Kodiak.
There's no context where this is a good thing to say. Your quit is sounding weak. You need to figure out how to get strong. I suggest you take Thumblewort's advice and start posting roll. Find your quit group and post there every single day, and make some friends while you're at it. Everyone in the group quit around the same time you did. You need some accountability, right now you don't have it. Get to it mister.
