Apogeeammo - this is me

[brettlees]

Day 30 - Here's a little secret - I started this quest for financial reasons.  My insurance under the new law was going to go up by $2000 per year as a tobacco user.  Non-tobacco user cost (which was about $400 cheaper than tobacco user in 2013) was unchanged.  Add in cost of skoal-assume $4.50/can x 365 days  = $1643.  Add it all up, dipping was going to cost me $4000 in 2014.

I signed up for new 2014 insurance in November 2013 during open enrollment but kept dipping because, as I justified it, I was already paying for it so I might as well use it.

January 1 2014 kicks in and new insurance starts and I quit.  Initially, I thought "well if I can't live without it, I can switch insurance back to tobacco user and just pay more"

Then I made it through the first day, then I made it through the second day and the third day, then I posted roll for the first time and started hanging out with you people and the next thing I know....

I am at 30 days!

Today, I am not quit for financial reasons, even though my cost of a cave grows by $5.50 per day.  I am quit because I want to be quit and because I am proud to be quit.

Quitting with KTC again today!

PS - I just read back through all of my prior posts on this thread and it really struck me how great this community is!  In the last 30 days I've had more supportive comments from new friends than I've gotten in my whole life from the rest of the world.  Amazing stuff!

However you got here, I'm glad you made it and are part of the crew now. You just keep sticking around, you and your clown have grown on a lot of us! Keep rocking the quit!

Day 29 - Post for future reference - lately I've been on cruise control but ever watchful. Having a crave or two daily but nothing that's too bad. I've got some pretty stressful things going on at home and work but it hasnt been a temptation to dampen or ease that with nicotine because I have the simple saying I learned on here "1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems"

I post roll and read on here all day and that really helps too.

Quitting with KTC today!

Congrats on 29 days of vigilance. Daily vigilance in our case to get our freedom back. I also find reading on here helps, and posting a note or two after roll. I also tried "live chat" the other evening. That was fun and a few people in there I knew. We all have that common bond. Get as far away from the nic bitch as possible! Quit on man.

Way to stay vigilant. Understanding yourself denies the ability to become complacent! The biggest downfall I know here, other then getting drunk early in a quit! Keep going strong.

I found boobies....  Oh fuck dip

Thanks Duathman! Now I just feel bad that the last post on Neonpanther's thread before he got booted was me asking for boobies!

Plus I feel bad because you called me a fuckdip (whatever that is)

Anyway, thanks for the tits!

All of the above was typed with tongue firmly in cheek! Nobody else gets it but I crack myself up!

At least the last post on NP's thread wasn't a fellow quitter calling everyone the C word... ha! Your post was a welcome change of pace!

Quit on you clown headed quitter you!

Funny thing is I did not realize the thread was closed until I attempted to give you directions to the boobies. Quit on!!!

I attempted to modify my post about the boobies, that's when I found out.

I do like the boobies though! Thanks to all of you who PM'd me as well. It really showed that a lot of people were following the NP drama and really like sharing titties! 'boob' :wub:

Quitting on down the road!!

Ya, did not really feel qualified to hop in on that one, and it was disturbing on a couple of levels, so I kept my mouth shut and learned. I am much more comfortable with boobies and find them much less disturbing, in fact, comforting. :D

I'm with you Sam83, that end of the pool was over my head so I just watched until someone mentioned the boobie page! :P

Here's to comfortable boobies!

I'm not sure if it is legal to plagiarize from someone's Introduction thread to my own but I want this to be on my thread so I can refer to it later.  This meant a lot to me today!

Day 194 - 1/24/14
I am about a week away from being absolutely nicotine and tobacco free for 200 days or reaching the second floor as it is known in KTC.

Recently other caves have happened, some people have lied, others chose to state that they have a life beyond KTC.

Well fuck all that noise!  I say cave away, continue lying and enjoy your life missing your lower jaw and having rancid breath.  I salute you with one of these  and two of these 

I drank the KTC kool aide, in 194 days I have seen epic caves, watched people fade away and read many excuses for why

However, in that same time frame I have met some great people, either online or in person.  If you don't like the methods used here, pack your shit turn around and walk the fuck out.  These methods have been proven by many and we follow a path laid out by those who walked before us.  Some of those people are still around today.

I quit today, I made a promise to everyone in all of the 17 groups that I chose to post roll with.  Most of all though I made a promise to myself, I am an addict, I need the help and knowing that a few other people are facing the same daemons, have faced those daemons or truly know what the ABCs are matter to me.

To those of you that show true support, those of you who made the trail and those of you on this journey with me thanks.  I don't give a damn what milestone you are on, we are all addicts but together we are creating a new way and for that I thank you all.
