Welcome aboard Steve. You'll be getting a lengthy welcome - and "How To" - letter from me. But just a couple of points I need to make to you here....
You said you "tried" everything to quit.
We don't Try at KTC. We don't Hope. We don't "Give it our best shot".
We QUIT. We COMMIT. We give our oaths as men and women, to each other that, whatever comes, we absolutely will not use nicotine today.
Every one of us is an addict. Say it with me now..."I AM A NICOTINE ADDICT". Say it over and over to yourself until you get that crystal clear.
Now this one..."I WILL BE A NICOTINE ADDICT FOREVER".
That's right. You are an addict and you always will be. So am I. So is every other person on KTC.
Only we don't use nicotine. Following the rules laid down here has resulted in thousands of helpless nicotine addicts to get clean and stay clean. It will work for you too.
But never try. Give us your word. Then keep it.
