Day 14 I'm quit :) today
2 weeks!

I wanted to take a minute to add a thought or 2. First... I hate that Kodiak bear. Hate. When I posted my first intro I said something to the effect of.... Ill sure miss my good friend the Kodiak bear - we shared some good times. Well, that was bullshit. The bear stole a lot from me, in time, in money, in health, and in my quality of life. A lot. And I let it happen for 25 years. Dude, my former affection has turned to rage against that bear.

Second, itsgottohappen and I were talking a few weeks ago and he mentioned that a can has the same nicotine levels as 3 packs of smokes. Guess which brand always seems to have more nicotine than the others... That damn bear. Know many 3 pack a day smokers? You and I, man we are addicts! But we are addicts who choose to fight our addiction.

Finally, welcome aboard! This site has saved my life. I cannot say enough about the people on here, the level of support and caring, or the lengths that everyone will go to to help you keep your promise to us. You cannot win this fight alone. Post roll every damn day first thing. It becomes a part of your ritual and keeps your commitment fresh in your mind. Reach out. Collect numbers. It looks like you and derk have connected - I can't think of a better mentor.

You can do this. If a dude like me can do this, you can too. Congratulations on the best decision you'll ever make.
2 weeks is great man!

I wanted to chime in with you guys on the fucking bear haters club. I used Kodiak for 22 years. You may not see it yet but you will, the longer you stay quit the more clear it will become how much that hairy son of bitch has taken from you with his fiberglass claws digging into your cheek and gum for a better fix. One of my favorite quotes is in my sig from another quitter on his thoughts on the bear as well....enjoy


Proud to quit with you today!
2 weeks is some great quittin brother. Awesome job! You are earning back your freedom. QLF with you today!

Thank you brother because of people like you I know I have a great chance to succeed. The damn bear controlled me for a long while but I have my life back and it feels to damn good to give it up. I am quit with you and I appreciate your support
I see derk straightened you out. You can't go wrong with derk in your corner brother. You have no choice but to post roll everyday and stay quit. It's that simple. Don't let yourself, us and and the world down. Make you promise early and then keep it all day. Wake up and repeat the next. You won't be sorry. Things won't be easy for a while, but 16,000 have paved the way, so surely you can do it. I'm no more special then you friend and I've made it 212 days. No excuses!!!!!!! Just do it!!!!!! Need another number let me know. Glad to be quit with you today.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Bro... U post? Did not see it. U serious about this thing or not. Don't look like it. If you can't take the time to post roll then don't waste your time posting on your intro about how you are quit. No roll post shows everyone here u r not serious. Post roll and that all changes.
Good talking to you this morning  glad we got you straight posting roll. You have made a great decision, so stay the course  keep focused on today. We quit one day at a time here. That is the only way. QLF with you today!

I go on the welcome center and it says unavailable it says click re fresh but I don't see it
Here they are... I copied them from that web page. Go ahead and give it a shot. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

4. Press "quote" on the roll
5. Click in the box that has all of the Roll posts (the lower box), hit CTRL-A to select all and Press CTRL-X to CUT, not copy-if you copy, then you'll double post roll.
6. Click to the reply window and press CTRL+V to paste it in. Then write in your name, day and your promise
7. Press submit-done.


Try these instructions for: iPad Roll Post

Step 1 - find the last roll call
Step 2 - tap "quote" icon in the upper right hand corner
Step 3 - tap anywhere in the bottom box, when the flashing blue cursor pops up tap it
Step 4 - a box should pop up that reads "select/select all/paste" tap on "select all"
Step 5 - the entire lower box should be highlighted with a pop up that reads "cut/copy/paste"
tap on "cut". All the text in the lower box will disappear.
Step 6 - tap in the upper box until the cursor appears
Step 7 - tap the cursor until a box reading "paste" appears, then tap paste
Step 8 - you are now ready to type in your posted roll! To get to where you want to type use
two fingers to scroll within the box.

Post Roll every day or communicate with someone and have them post via text, email or call. Get as many number of your group as you can and use them frequently. Keep in touch with your quit brothers. Send them a PM, text or call every few days just to keep an open line of communication. Give them your email address. Make it IMPOSSIBLE for you to go a day without several people contacting you all day if you don't post roll.

Yes I am lol I'm trying thou
Have you gone up to the Welcome Center  read the "How to post roll call" link?

It seems more difficult than it is... You said you were "trying"? Not sure what that means... if you had tried then you would have had something in the December link both yesterday and today. Then someone would have fixed it.

ROLL is the most important thing you can do today. How about going into the December page and post up.
