Hey guys. I debated doing this, but decided I should make it known why I am leaving KTC. You guys have been very supportive and this is a great pace to quit, but I just couldn't take the pervasive profanity and disrespect for women. You guys act like a bunch of 13 year old boys when it comes to language and respect for others. This a huge problem with this site. I hope that some of you can see this. There is nudity, crud jokes and profanity everywhere here.

I am not a self righteous guy and I have been guilty of of everything that I've seen on this site, but this is everywhere and it just isn't healthy for me to see it every time I log on. I am trying to live a life that shows respect for women. They are all someone's daughter or sister or mother or wife.

I hope that you guys keep up the good work here and consider changing your policies and making this a place where women are respected and honored as they should be.
Sounds like a lame excuse to me. Good luck with your planned cave.

I told my wife today that I quit chewing. After 83 days into the quit she now knows. She assumed that I was just continuing to lie and hide it from her and I didn't want to bring up chewing to her because of the pain this terrible habit and my lying has caused. Anyway, this is a big step toward healing. What a screwed up habit tobacco is. It so damaging in so many ways! I hate it.
Good for you Rees. I was a ninja dipper. My wife and employees didn't even know I chewed. My wife and one or two out of 10 employees had a suspicion. When I decided to quit I made sure everyone knew. It was liberating and built another layer of accountability. She is your partner in life, let her help and understand your addiction. I guarantee you, unless she is an addict too, she doesn't get it.
Keep up the good work and feed off of the hatred of the nic whore.
Trust me, share with your family and friends and your quit gets stronger.
I bet that felt good to tell her that at 83 days! You are earning back your honor and integrity day by day. Nice job. Keep at it today brother! ODAAT. Proud to be quit with you!

ReeseB, proud to be quit with you today!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Thank YOU dude. You are an example of a bad-assed quitter for us all to follow.

Quit with you any damn day!

ReeseB,

I like the quit you have going here. I was checking our accountability spreadsheet this morning and noticed you are one of our remaining 100%ers. I hadn't had an opportunity to read your intro until now but keep up the great work. Proud to have you in the June Platoon. Please don't hesitate to message me if you need anything.

Quit On!
100% posters are Bad Asses for sure!

Welcome aboard Reese! I'm just south of you, south of Portland so nice to have another badass PNW quitter on board. Ping me if you need anything at all. If you haven't already done so, check out the words of wisdom page. One day at a time my friend.
