Last chew was Saturday 4/21. No Aid, No Cigars, No Bullshilt. I tried to quit in early January. Only lasted a few weeks. Tried again in February and March. Same thing. No support. Sick of this shit. Sick of thinking I am going to Die. Is anxiety and all out F'n Fear normal?
Just joined too. Take a few hours and read through the Words of Wisdom, Introductions and other posts. I thought I was a total freak too - but the stories I'm reading not just about life on this crap but all of the symptoms, anxiety, regrets, etc. are all normal. It take a few days to understand how all the posts and roll calls and stuff work, but once you get it, it starts making a lot of sense and is really helpful - the people here are great and fills that feeling of being alone with all your mind and body goes through. These guys have heard and seen it all and will call bullshit. Welcome from another newbie.

You are doing great Tball. Yes it sucks, and yes it gets better. Hang in, stay close to this site. The anxiety and fear will fade, it will be replaced with independence and freedom from your addiction behaviors.
I quit with you today!
Fish, eat, sleep. Repeat.

index.php?showtopic=50

You want to quit. If you were all alone. No family, friends or influence. Would you still quit? All the influences to quit are great reasons. However to be successful, you and only you must want to quit. You can't say, "God wants me to quit", "I'm afraid of cancer", blah blah blah. This has to be selfish. YOU and only YOU must want to quit.

To Manually get to the link, click on, "Welcome Center" Just below the Kill the can logo.

Once that link opens. Menu # 3. "How to post roll" Click on that link.

Okay, a couple things to mention. You need to quit every 24 hours. As an addict, and until you get tons of quit days under your belt. Never, ever, ever think in the long term of being quit. Only for the day.

I tried to quit many times. KTC is for real. The program is simple. Are you a man of your word? Can you commit to quit and keep your promise for one day? If you can, the tools here seem so simple but effective. Posting roll is an action behavior that you need to do every morning when you wake up. Like brushing your teeth, you need to be that committed to posting roll. It mentally prepares you for the seduction and temptation the evil nic bitch with throw at you that day. Knowing that you made that promise to us and yourself, you will have super human strength to say, "No, not today. Tomorrow is another day and too far in the future but I am quit today and I am a man of my word"

You get through that day and simply repeat. I recommend you take some time and write an introduction. Tell us about yourself. We are all addicts here, we already know your story but something you say will bring about connections and you will start getting requests for numbers so that you can support and be supported in weak time.

I am not a vet. Always listen to the vets. If they tell you to do something, do it. Be humble and listen. They have never lead me astray. The first sign I see from a caver is when there are some things they like but they want to do it their way. (Most common is posting roll. People miss posting roll, they are planning a cave.)



I have been quit for 43 days. I am having fun. I am free. Oh Nic and alcohol. You shouldn't drink while your brain rewires. It is recommended that you don't drink for the first 50 days. (You sure don't want to amplify your drinking to replace nic.)

Finally, this is real. We don't expect you to have a relapse. The support here shoots straight with no bullshit. No one understands or accepts a cave. The days of glamorizing, entertaining or worshiping tobacco is over. You took control of your addiction 4 days ago. Know this, Tobacco is evil. It terrorizes and ultimately kills. I despise it. I never ever will support that industry again. (Tomorrow isn't here yet so "never" is only today and I repeat every day when I post - my disdain for that evil creature) In fact I am at war with them!!!! You want to get to where you want tobacco to die on the vine. No love lost. FUCK them and the 42,000.00 I spent to alienate myself for alone time with that harlot. For that I got an occasional buzz and thought of cancer. REALLY, that is my ROI? Only addicts would invest. Recovering addicts are Tobaccos worst fucking nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the dumbest investment I made. I became an addict. Today, I control my addiction. There are no shackles on my wrists or ankles. You are going to be in hell for a time but it is FUCKING WORTH IT!!!!!! You will hear, "Embrace the Suck" That is yours to define and have an "a ha" moment. The other term, "We Quit Like Fuck!"

Post roll today, keep your word. If tomorrow comes for you. Repeat.

Welcome to fun time! 'na na' 'boob' 'welcome' 'clap' '40' 'band'

Welcome to KTC Tball! I, and the vast majority of others on this site, have been through exactly what you're describing. This is where this site and the philosophy and strategy maintained by its members comes in. You quit for today and today only. Tomorrow you wake up and quit again. One. Day. At. A. Time.

Today I quit with you Tball. Go to the July 2012 thread and post day 4.

4 days yea your OK you wont die for a couple more days! Sarcasm No serious welcome aboard I've only been here 25 days and haven't heard of anyone dieing just wish they were dead. The pain starts easing after the 1st week. The pain is a good thing! The detox period really sucks, embrace it you will never forget it and it will detour your thoughts of caving. Even though it sucks fellowship from friends here is great remember we are going through or have gone through the same thing you are. Gain a hatred for tabacco and the industry, the bastards are killing us. That is right killing their customers ( former customers) that's the plan they can always get more little kids addicted. Fuck them!!!

Glad to be the first one to welcome you! 4 days quit? No tobacco, No cigars, no patches. Absolutely quit cold turkey and you haven't had any and I mean any nicotine. Right?

I ask that because to post roll, that is your promise to not have any nicotine for that day. So if you quit 4 days ago, then you would go to the August group and post roll with -day 4-. If you are using some kind of aid like patches or some other bullshit nicotine, you have to quit right now cold turkey and today, right now would be day 1.

Let me know what day you are on......You could go into live chat as well to get info on posting roll.

Live chat link in the upper right section of page.
