I am not certain how that would help, or why it would matter. It was something like Eor or sailor or along those lines.
Because it's against the rules to sign on with a different screen name, thats why

Hi KTC,

I was a member about a year ago. Actually, I think it was about 1 year ago I began my quit and I was in the September group for 2012. Believe it or not, I made it to my 100 days but none of you would have known because I (foolishly) stopped posting around day 70 or 80. I just got arrogant and was sick of logging on, thinking "I got this, who needs it?". I stayed quit past 100.

It was around October that I broke. I am a huge fan of cigars and I decided one couldn't hurt, and I didn't think it did for a while. A few weeks later, on my way home from work I thought about how nice it would be to grab a dip and drive around, enjoying the fall weather. One single pinch couldn't hurt, right? Soon I was stumbling down the mentality of "one 'more' can won't hurt" and "I'll quit after this weekend since it's going to be busy and I don't want the fog". Not sure why it took this long to finally realize I am an idiot. I had a mouth sore which initially scared me, but instead of talking myself out of fear I embraced it and starting telling myself I was going to die. Needless to say I went the whole day without another dip.

That was 3 days ago.

Here I am on day 3 of my quit, trying to push through the final day of nicotine in system. It's proving difficult, but I know I have done it before and I know I can do it again. I know where I messed up last time, and therefore how to prevent it from happening again. I thought about coming to KTC the day I started, but was worried my will might break and would let you guys down (aka being a pu55y). The way I see it, at this point there is no turning back. In a matter of hours the nicotine will be clear of my system and in a few weeks I will be on the fast track for a successful quit. If I cave now I will just be setting myself back, and f that.

I wish I could remember my old username so I could get the bitching from my old group. It was the group with sirsanchez who would only make it a day or two. I think Shane was the unofficial group leader. I asked a few of you about becoming an attorney as that was what I wanted to go to school for (I start in two months).

Anyways, sorry it's a long re introduction, but this time I won't puss out. This quit is for real.

Welcome Eor2012. Looks like we are quit on the same day. There is no time like the present. Sept 12 is our 100 day mark, I will be riding the rollercoaster of withdrawals, head games, and strength with you. If you need anything, you let me know.

Eor, your getting a good start! Thanks for your service. Forget all those past attempts and plans! Only today matters. Go to live chat if you are still there, I can't sleep either so we can talk.

Go to the welcome center and read how to post roll, you will be in September. Guess I just missed ya so we'll catch up later . Welcome to the circus called quit!

I have only been dipping for 3.5 years, which by my terms is too long. I remember the first time it was Skoal berry that I took from a room mate at the time and I think there were maybe 6-8 little pieces of it... Anyways my time in service is about to be up an I always told myself I would be quit by the time I get out and then I realized its tougher than I thought. I promised myself that I would quit on the first of June. Then I promised myself that I would quit on the second... Then I promised myself I would quit after my can went empty... it went empty today at 1300... I like the idea of just quitting one day at a time I saw from Suck-it. I have "quit" before and would count the days and begin to think "next week will be 30 days". Focusing too much on where I will be in a week shows me where I am not today and makes it tougher.. So I guess i'll see you tomorrow... Nic free.
