Here we go

[Dawgs]

I would simply add that if you really want to do this, you’ll do it. Language, off color jokes...none of that crap will matter. Cause in the end, it’s about your quit. The same folks giving you grief, will have your back if you are all in, but you have to earn it. I suggest a huge dose of humility. Nothing will matter if you are all in for your quit.

[Palpatine]

I get it. And I get the rough responses over in the roll page. I’m here to quit. I want it gone. For me!  I fell back into it. That’s my bad. But, I am here now. I’m sorry I let you all down in April ‘16. I thought I had it. I’m not a fan of vulgarity as you’ll notice in my posts, there’s plenty of it here...lol. One of my reasons for trying it out on my own. That being said...when I was going strong each day posting, I wasn’t dipping. I don’t want to fall back into it. I want my life back, I don’t want to make excuses. Yes, I take ownership for making excuses and being a coward in terms of saying no to my cravings.

But I’m here now. I will not make that mistake again. That’s why I stuck with the same login. I don’t want to pretend. I am quitting. Today September 16, 2019 is day 3 of no nicotine. Tomorrow will be day 4. I’m in this to the end. No more excuses, no more “just this once”. IM DONE.

Hey - vulgar language isn't my thing either.  You can read all my posts and there isn't any.  I've been here every single day for 1350 days.  As for others and their language...that is their choice and it is what it is...boo hoo.  I can't control them or you or anyone for that matter.  In fact, I'd definitely say there are times that it probably warranted, but we are getting off topic. 

Vulgar language is part of every day life.  It is also an excuse.  That excuse can put you back to the can.  That becomes a pretty crappy excuse to me.  It means you would rather not read vulgar language and kill yourself instead.  I'd pick reading/hearing vulgar language and life one day at a time.  Plus - it is just words versus cancer in a can.

Here is how you say "I'm done"...get in here each morning, post up, get to know others, talk about your life, encourage others, go to bed and do it again the following day.  Addiction isn't something that goes away...it sticks with you until you are done on this planet.  This is the place to help manage that addiction.  That is how it works.  Tough love for the addict persona but direction for the real persona inside of you being masked by the addict persona. 

Buy in...all the way - each day!  Then you will be "I'm done" for the day...then do it again the next day because someone else in your family will die again at some point in your life.  Don't make that the excuse to go back to the can when that day comes.

I would challenge you to become more involved this time around.  If your post count is accurate, it looks like you posted roll and that is about it.  That can keep you quit, but not sure it is going all in.  Drink the kool-aid.  Share your story often! You will get to the 100 day mark again and then what?  If you are not part of your own group or KTC as a whole, what will keep you from fading away again?  I hope you find the answer to these things quickly.  You know how this place works.  I wonder how many people you have reached out to get digits from.  Something has to change in order to keep you around this time...

So I’ve been here before. Things were going great. Hen my dad passed and a quick spiral back to the dipping ad I was driving back and forth to help my mom out. Then, I figured just a little here and there no big deal. I’ll be fine. Blah!  I want it gone!  It’s like the woman who you know is trouble. You keep getting pulled over to her. But today is a new day. Today I claim my life back for me and for my wife and son. Today I will not stop to buy another tin. Today I stand firm, trust in God for the inner strength and make this commitment with you all, humbly apologizing for being weak before. But I am here now. Let’s do this.

Hmm, I agree with Frank69, do that but also dig deep, 2nd chances can be given here but you have to earn it.  (3rd times are not).
I failed once but came back broken and committed; I quit through my dads death, my aunt's death and many other challenges.
Will you find another excuse or will you make this your last?

[Ruthless]

If you make this quit for your wife and kid, you will fail.  You must quit for you.  I can't tell you how many times i tried to quit for my wife and 3 kids...failed every time.  This time, i quit for myself and have been here 111 days in a row.  I also second Frank's comment.

[69franx]

I think you need to tell your new group a little more about your time here previously.
You should also be answering the three questions there and in April 2016 :
What happened?
Why did it happen?
What will you do differently this time?

I hear the same old line everyday, it helps me with stress. Bull crap brother.

Since I've been free 193 days, I have found I'm less stressed without it.

One day at a time.

Name: Matt
Age: 34
Married: yes beautiful wife of 5 years
Children: 1 year old boy Benjamin
Location: South shore of Massachusetts
Occupation: Teacher, licensed minister

Why I started: I wanted a quick pick me up for long drives to and from work. Then I called it my focus juice when studying or playing video games or when we were jamming with the band. I loved dipping whenever I could. I thought it made me more manly, I thought it made me look cool. Wow was I wrong....

Why I quit: I always said over the 12 or so years I dipped...I dipped 1 year and tried quitting for 11... I no longer am trying. I quit everyday. I quit so that my boy will never see me do it and try it out. I quit so that I will have a jaw and a life to spend with him and my wife. I quit because I am tired of trying to hide it from everyone around me. I quit because I a taking my life back. I quit because I want to live a holy life for God and keep this temple clean.

My biggest help: thinking of my son. Prayer!! Making myself accountable for my actions so it's not just about me. I don't want to let others down.

Tools I use: right now just gum and toothpicks.

Hit me up if you want to know more.

One day at a time sweet Jesus...

OK Matt let's do this. First things first, go to welcome center learn how to post roll. Do that and we will get you some badass quit going. This really works. Dipped 38 years and been nic free 415 day's. Next moves yours. I Quit with you today! Quit on

Thanks. I think I got on my first roll call. I think I did it right... :). Excited about staying quit this time.

Matt, if your on roll, you did it right. The only way to screw up roll is to not be on it. Elegant posting can come later.

For now drink lots of water and exercise. Get to know your fellow quitters and reach out to them.

Welcome aboard and congratulations on making a great decision.

Quick question... How does it feel to win at something that had kicked your ass for years? Pretty damn good I bet.

Feels amazing

Congrats on the quit. It will be a long hard road ahead of you, but we got your back.
Just take it one day at a time or ODAAT as one of the other members refers to it.
I quit with you today.

Great Start Matt.
This decision.. will one day have a big impact on your Son.
Today... Quit for you!
It's more about resting in truth and identifying the lie.
The truth is what sets us free.
Nicotine never helped you.
Not once.
It will never help you.
It will never help your family.
Let it die.
We were not created to need it!
And let's keep it simple.
We dont worry about tomorrow.
It can worry about itself.

I quit with you today.
