Day 1, 6 hours 3 minutes NicBitch Free.

Not a wink of sleep. Reading intro's and HOF posts. I can't stop. I relate to everything I read. Brothers in quit. Absolutely.

I have come to understand that this intro is now my History of Quit. I no longer regret or feel embarrassed by my initial posts and intro. That was the nicotine fighting to keep it's final hold on me. Every reply from you all, quit now, theres cybermonday deals on balls, buy a pair and quit, why wait, now is the best time to quit, tomorrow never comes, grab your balls and man up... it just motivated the Quitter you all saw in me. That you all knew could do it. The nicotine bitch got scared. That long ass post before me took me like 3 hours... her final death cry.

Thank you Brothers for saving my Life. Thank you for loosening Nicotine's hold on me and fueling the motivation to rip her out of my heart and life for good. I could not have quit without you. Today, the best damn day I can remember in a long time, I am quit with you.

If you find the next NRT noobie before I do, suggest they read my intro.

I do have one regret. That I didn't post long ago. I have had this website bookmarked on my laptop for probably close to 2 years... I even had my wife read the Spouse Support page. Back then it was nothing more than a manipulative excuse to be an asshole. I said long time lurker, but I got nothing from it. I'd try to quit, stop by, look at a post or two and think, they're doing it. So I can too. Then be back in a can a few hours, or days later. I know now that I could not possibly apply anything I may have thought I learned because everything I read was by people that had already quit for people that had already quit. I don't think I ever bothered to read an introduction...

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!

I couldn't put it into words, you said it perfectly.
srans: "When I threw the last can I had away and posted roll the chains fell off. I was bound no more."
Thanks for describing exactly what I experienced. I grabbed every piece of nic gum in the house, and as soon as I popped the 1st peice into that bowl I was free. I think I was quit the second I kicked off the covers, and got out bed with one motivation all nicotine will be destroyed. Every piece popping out was a quit. I poured that bowl in the toilet and knew I was free. I pissed on it like it has pissed on me every damn day, flipped it off and flushed it down the drain. I knew it was over. I know it has just begun.

1st thank you all.
2nd Mogul, it was all the same day for me. Still awake. And it was all bullshit the nicotine was still whispering to me. You're right.
I promised not to Post again until day one.
Its 12:54 here so I guess that means I'm 54 minutes into day one.
This is the last time I will bring up nicotine quit BS aides.
You're all right. What the hell am I waiting for. I'm done waiting.
I QUIT! Dec 5th 2013.
And with your help I know I can make it through the bumpy road to come.
Really, thank you all. I needed to get some stupid shit off my chest, thanks for listening and calling me on my shit.
Good bye Nicotine.
I'll see the rest of you in the morning.

Way to grab yourself by the balls, man up, and quit! Now your acting like a bad ass quitter. My first post on this site was explaining how well the patch was working for me, i had only been on the patch for a day and thankfully I was called out and schooled. Embarrassed for being so stupid (I hadn't read enough before posting to know this was a completely nic free site) I pulled the patch off and replied in my intro of such. I am now on day 221 and with my promise posted every day I continue ODAAT and I do so completely nic free as do all the bad asses here. As far as the rage,,, I have brothers here that I used to get me through those times. You can do this!

Welcome to the brotherhood! I quit with you.

Erussell day 221
Welcome! Glad you decided to join the pack. There really is no easy way to quit. You just gotta quit. And now you are doing that !

Eddie posted the truth below. Nicotine is a wicked monster. 221 days ago erussell came on this site talking about how he was gonna cut back on the patch. 200 days ago kc guy joined and asked, as one of his first questions, if he should throw out his last cans or keep them around as a reminder. 347 days ago I quit and posted about how much I missed my good friend the Kodiak bear.

Not a single one of these examples, looking back , makes any sense to any of us. Honestly, those comments are kinda funny but mostly sad and infuriating in retrospect. It is all the nicotine bs lies that our brains were conditioned to believe that led us to those backward thoughts. If you use this site, make contacts, reach out, let those with a higher day count help you through the rough days, and help others in your group (starting with posting roll every damn day first thing when you wake up) then you will beat this monster.

I saw where you posted some 33% stats. More nicotine bs lies. Dude, I read your intro front to back. Yep, nicotine has her nasty claws in you right now, but you sound like a man that succeeds at what he sets his mind to. Not someone that says... I think I'm gonna do 33% of my job today. Or... I'm gonna mow 33% of my yard. You sound like a man that is in life to win it. You've got some of the strongest quitters on this team posting in your intro. Read diesels intro. Read Mogols. Read eddies. Dude.... Get these guys numbers! Over the next few days or weeks these men will save your life. Get srans number, get jluds number... I could go on and on! These guys all know what you are feeling. The same bs all of us felt. And it is bs. A plant in a can set us down that miserable path. Pretty ridiculous when you think about it.

Congratulations on not letting a toxin control your life. 3 days and it is out of your system. You can do this. There is a 100% chance that you will succeed if you follow the ktc plan.

My number is in your inbox.

Posted roll. I'm freaking giddy right now. I'm done. I know I said I've thrown my stash out so many times before. I never meant it before. This was so much different. I can't even explain it. Because I mean it with every fiber, with everything I am. I quit. I know this is the start. I know its gonna suck like hell, but I know I'm finally going to make it. I'm gonna embrace the suck and just add it to my arsenal of reasons to never look back. Gonna try to get a little sleep. Thanks again everyone. See you in the morning.
Freedom brother, smell it, taste it and feel it. My worst day quit is better than my best day with the poison. One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison has stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it.

Way to suck up your pride and post up my friend. 8mg, 5mg, 10mg,, what does all that mean anyway? = SLAVERY IS WHAT IT MEANS! Need anything let me know.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Dude. Just come back when you're 100% nic free. Of course there are different ways to quit.

However...

You know damn well this is a NO NIC, COLD TURKEY site. Coming in here preaching the virtues of nic gum, ain't gonna fly. Not today, not tomorrow and not a year from now.

It's not the Ktc way. Nobody is making you join the site and nobody is telling you that you cannot, but at least respect the principles of this site.

It's a COLD TURKEY site.

There's no wiggle room there. Don't go planting seeds that will never take root here. It's a waste or your time and harmful to our soil.

You go 100% nic free, come on back. But if you come back and provide support to others by recommending the use of nic gum and weening off, as opposed to cold turkey...there will be problems.

Nicorette.com is for that.

Killthecan.org is for cold turkey quitting. Don't forget where you're at.

But I will no longer accept failure, I will not let nicotine control me. I will quit.

If this were true... You'd already be quit. You're failing. It's controlling you. This is so sad man... You don't even see it. It's telling you that you can't do it and you're listening. At some point it's all cold turkey bro. You're going to go from some to none. Milligram levels don't matter. It's all excuses fed by your addiction. Why not do it now? Why not ACTUALLY take control? Stop being a slave.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.
