Almost there... Quit Date Dec 31st 2013

[Texas22]

Good job Neon and continue to keep the fire burning inside! this will help you get through these next few weeks! keep a leave head, not cocky, BUT CONFIDENT! PM me anytime and keep on with the Quit one day at a time. Keep posting your name under mine everyday so I can hold you accountable and you do the same to me!

Texas22 - 95 Days QUIT! 'oh yeah'

[Erussell]

Proud to quit with you today.

[Mjollnir]

Get to the gym, sip water all day. And hold on tight.

[Menace]

Welcome to the fun Neon, happy to see our words sank in. Now remember all that fire and vitriol you just posted when that massive crave hits and you want that cat turd in your lip. The Nic Bitch is crafty and will try all kinds of different ways to get you to cave. I am only on Day 17 now and its a roller coaster. Yesterday was awesome, today not as much, had a ton of craves. But I didn't give in and I am still quit. I think for me what KTC has taught me is patience with my quit and that I am an addict. It has changed my approach, I no longer worry about a life without Cope, I only worry about staying Nic free for the day, hence the patience and the addict mentality. You need anything give a shout.

I quit with you today!

So many PMÂ’s Phone calls and texts. God must be pullinÂ’ some strings for me cause I just got unlimited calls and texts plan on the cell 3 days ago. Gettin things ready for me to keep the quit strong. Every person who PMÂ’d me I believe PMed back and included my name and number right? Thanks for the amazing support!

What I know today, Dizzy, tired, foggy, constipated, keep reaching into the pocket I kept my poison in without even thinking about it. When my fingers find nothing there, there is what I can only call a despair craving. That desparate desire just behind and above your belly button. I stomp it out. It feels good, but I know everyday wont be this way.

I swear the nicotine knows it has lost. Never had anthing close to the strength and these kind of symptoms before. You have Lost.


I know I did the easiest impossible thing I have ever done last night. I listened to all of you, in your own ways, say You CAN quit, So Quit right now. Over and over. It built like a fire of desire. It took several hours and argumentitive postsAnd then I heard my own inner voice, a voice that for as long as I can remember had only spewed the addictive lies to keep me enslaved to nicotine. It was my voice alone. it was filled with determination.
I CAN DO IT. RIGHT NOW! And you better believe I listened.
The Quit is not a time, a date, not an event you can schedule. Trying to quit like this is like pointlessly clawing at the walls of the toxic womb addiction traps us in. Clawing till your nails fall off and your're down to bare bone. And then keep clawing. I did it. Look at my posts only 24 hours ago.
My quit was an earth shaking, life altering experience. Like up right there with the births of my children. Weeping with the knowledge that the poison swirling down and out of the toilet was out of my life and the miracle of knowing it was over.
My quit was a fucking rebirth. An inferno of Self Confidence, Faith and Believing in Myself, for the first time I in as long as I can remember, Collided with the fact that I have hated everything about dipping for so long. My hate didn't matter, the Nic Bitch always pulled me back. Which Collided with the knowelege that I just discovered KTC filled people going through EXACTLY what I'm going through and working to stay quit together. That conflagration burst forth from the Toxic Womb of the Nicotine Bitch in the form of a Badass Nuclear Phoenix of QUIT!!!!
You may think itÂ’s the sleep deprivation setting in, or the fog. And too much Sci-Fi/Fantasy. YouÂ’d be wrong. The quit is that awesome. ItÂ’s a Badass Nuclear Pheonix of awesome.
Worktowin PM’d me and said “Finding this site is like hitting triple 7s” He found out I live in the Vegas Vicinity... I was responding to his PM and others and, when I realized what I have to say I want to say to you all. Thus this post.
Finding KTC is hitting the 7-7-7 Jackpot of Quit.

Still Day 1. 15 Hours 15 Minutes along. I am Quit.

Awesome neon! Get smokey mountain fake chew at Walmart. It's saved my ass. We are in this'd hit together bro.

well done Neon, now just keep that head down, pushing ahead one day at a time.

Remember that the small burning fire fed just right will last a very long time, so don't throw everything on at once and burn out, We do take this every 1 day and they will add up over time but you need that energy to fight.

And when you feel that fire burn too low, we are here to help, so never feel like it is a weakness when you reach out but instead think of it as wise as there are tons of people here with the experience that are willing to help at the drop of a hat.

I quit right beside you today. yell if you ever need.

I'm sending you a PM. Check it. We are here for the good and bad times.

You don't want to fail and you won't. This program is about honesty and accountability.

If you are a man of your word, and post roll every "Today". You can't fail.

Now for oral fixations. No nicotine. Everyone does something to work on it. Fake dip, gum, atomic fireballs. I did gummy worms.

Anger: Stay close to the site. Read, Read, Write and Read. This is therapy. Drama here is better than reality TV and it sure teaches the addict a thing or two.

Over emphasize the love and appreciation for family. Smile and say thank you. Kiss your wife and tell her she doesn't deserve your withdrawl symptoms but you couldn't do this without her around. Pay compliments, express gratitude. Have her read this... Spousal support Get her prepared and tell her your greatest worry is your relationship and attitude around the people that matter most. Ask her to make you aware when you are on edge. She should let you take a time out and come to KTC. She will request you to get on the site.

Then when you are about to blow a gasket, go into chat or post something and pick a fight. I promise you there is someone out there that will get into the cage and cyber fight. It is really good to do when you feel like exploding.

[LionHeartedGirl]

Well this was an inspirational read.

Great job Panther!

[brettlees]

Panther congratulations, you are doing the right thing now. I had been trying gum prior to my jumping in here, too. Now, a month and a half later, I"m understanding more about why the gum doesn't help really.

Just get through what you have to get through up front here, and you'll be so glad it's done. The guys here will get you through it.

You seem like you have the right stuff to make it, now just use the heck out of this site and you'll make it through!

[Diesel2112]

Atta boy Panther. Don't worry about your past post or past attempts or anything in the past.

It's over.

Focus on today. That's all that matters. You cut the ties and its time get on with the quit.

We are here for you, bro.

You fucked up roll and can't sleep...right on track my friend.

Holla if you need me, and welcome!!!

[jdubthe2nd]

It shouldnt block. At least i know NMCI doesn't.

[NeonPanther]

Kk, sorry the lack of sleep may be effecting me. Gotta pry myself off KTC, time to get ready for work.

Thank you all so much for the PM's and the phone numbers, I'll get back to you in a couple hours, I really hope the chat works on my work computer... Govmnt Comp might block it. We'll see!

[jdubthe2nd]

I see you in there bud. And yea, use your screen name when posting roll. but again, good on you.

[NeonPanther]

Yea. I can't sleep, just re-reading this thread and feeling embarrassed as hell. I sincerely apologize. Who the hell am I to argue with any of you? You did it. You do it everyday, and I pop in like, "Hey I'm gonna quit some day, here's how." Jeeze...

Take that humble hat off and put on your bad ass hat, cause that's what you are. Go read my intro if your board. You will see why I give the above advice.

Reading it now, I don't think I'm sleeping tonight anyway. 1st thing I notice is you had the where-with-all to pull of the patch after two posts. And not argue with successful people that are quit. For hours. While chewing more and more gum. 'bang head'
I read srans intro and hall of fame speech. There is one thing in common. Not in common, exactly the same, the quit. I quoted srans in my last post. You said: "Anyway I am done. There is no doubt in my mind that I am done. I just refuse to do it anymore! Doesn't change that this sucks though!! And that is actually helping I think! As I am pissed that I allowed myself to be this dependent on something that has no beneficial attribute to my life. I will get through it."
You both describe it with different words that all say the same thing. And it all describes exactly what I'm feeling. That tells me one thing. I'm FINALLY doing it right!

'clap'
I don't know how I missed the fun yesterday. Dude embrace the suck and be glad that you are taking this opportunity now rather than waiting decades like I did. One thing that cannot be disputed is the fact that if you follow the KTC plan and put everything you have into it you won't fail. You half-ass it, you'll be humping the can again.

wow! Just went and looked, you haven't posted roll yet. Get with it!

Maybe I did something wrong... I posted in Pre HOF March 2014 Roll Call, Quit Dates 11/22/2013 - 12/22/2013

On page 2 between Texas22 and Erussell

My name is Aaron, I promised: Aaron - 1 No more poison. No more excuses. I quit!

I'll use my screen name from now on, sorry.

*Edited Aaron to NeonPanther on the roll call, sorry about that.
*Double edit, I was in the support from other quitters, I think I fixed it. Sorry again.
*Triple edit. My edit on the roll call doesnt carry over, should I just Post again?
