I just wanted to take a moment to log some milestones in my intro here. Just last week I hit 3 YEARS nicotine free and today marks my 11th floor (1,100 days).

When I joined this site 3 years ago, I had never been able to stop on my own for more than 21 days. I thought the nic bitch was too big of a monkey on my back that I would never be able to overcome. But through the accountability of this site and the method here of focusing 24 hours at a time, no matter how big that monkey on my back chooses to be that day, I can carry him 24 hours at a time. Some days I barely notice him; other days I reach the end of the day gasping for air, exhausted. But I win 24 hours at a time, bound by my word that I give to my quit brothers and sisters each and every morning. This method has worked for 1,100 days and I have zero intention of fixing what ain't broke.

If you are reading this as a someone contemplating whether or not to quit, do it. Bury all the fear of the unknown and let us help you. I feared success when I joined here more than failure. What if I did succeed day to day? What would my life be like without dip? Will I be able to function? How will I mow the lawn or play softball or play Xbox or take a shit without a lip full of dip? Well in fact, it is all more enjoyable than you remember and so we want to help you regain that lost freedom.

So I encourage you to take the plunge and never look back. You will never regret it. Proud to be quit with you all today!

[spoiler=Birth of Responsibility]"That we are no longer this poor little stranger and afraid in a world it never made. But that you are this universe and you are creating it in every moment. Because you see it starts now, it didn't begin in the past, there was no past. See, if the universe began in the past when that happened it was now; see, but it's still now â€" and the universe is still beginning now, and it's trailing off like the wake of a ship from now, and that wake fades out so does the past. You can look back there to explain things, but the explanation disappears. You'll never find it there. Things are not explained by the past, they are explained by what Happens Now. That Creates the past, and it begins here. That's the birth of responsibility." ~Alan Watts[/spoiler]

Could I quit without KTC? Probably. Let's say it's 99.9% yes, I could quit without KTC. That 0.1% risk of failure isn't worth it to me. That 0.1% is enough to keep me here, long into the future, just to be sure.-srains918

Not sure who Batdad is, but he keeps coming up as an asshole =P so he can be an asshole if it helps others quit lmao. BTW who is batdad? I'm newer so it might be something I am missing. -evillen
