Day 544

All is well in quitsville.
Welcome to all the new quitters.
Almost 18 months of quit, holy shit :o

Keep your word and post daily.
Pay it forward.

Yo that's quite a huge acomplishment. Congrats.

Just wondering, do you regularly post on here, or do you just post up every so often here?

Day 340

Not as active on the site as I would like to be, but I try to at least post in my quit group (QWA - June 2008, for anyone looking for another group to post in) and the alcohol quit daily. My schedule does not currently allow me as much time as I would like on the boards.

I am convinced I would not be able to post 340 days quit if it wasn't for this site. I still have cravings at times, but I have found the resources I need here to keep them as cravings only. It may be the simple reminder of the contract to quit I keep in the front of my wallet, posting in my group, or the occaisional PM I make to congratulate someone on a milestone.

It is a great feeling to know I can come back here and post, vent, reachout to someone or just read, when I need to. If I see the need, I try to help, and it's nice to see so much involvement from other members.

If anyone feels the need to reach out, I am always happy to help someone in their quit. I find that helping others can be as helpful to my quit as it is to theirs. Being the good addict I am, I still isolate myself too much. It's always easier to make some kind of excuse like someone else has their own problems to deal with, they don't need mine as well. I'm still here though, and I'm still quit. How about you?

300 days ago I made the best decision of my life. Thanks to all of you here at KTC I am able to make this post without having had any nicotine (or alcohol) in my body for the last 300 days. Besides all the support I have found here, the other secret to my success has been not to focus on 300 days, but instead to focus on 1 day, today. Today I will not use tobacco in any form. Today is the only day that matters, and the only one I can make that decision for. Tomorrow is another day, and I will worry about it when it comes. For now, I focus on today. I am looking forward to the first tobacco free Christmas in 23 years. Happy holidays to everyone, and keep the quit!

Day 262

Do not isolate yourself, if you want to quit.

I struggle with this on a daily basis. KTC is my lilfeline to quit, and without it I would be right back out there dipping. The rest of my life may be falling to pieces, and I can come up with all kinds of reasons why I should just go back to dipping, but the truth is that dip does not fix anything.

Unfortunately, the rest of my life has not changed even though I stopped dipping. My life was worse when I dipped, but I still have shit to deal with, like everyone else. I do not have much for support outside of KTC, but I consider all of you to be supporters of my quit, as I am of yours. That may not help me when I am away from the site, but I carry my contract to quit in the front of my wallet and I think of you guys when life starts to go south. I try to post everyday, at least in my HOF and the alcohol quit group. When I have the time, I continue to post in many other groups. I will do my best to try and help someone with their quit any time they need. In the meantime, I keep my faith in KTC to be here and to help me through the tought times, as you have over the last 262.

Thanks KTC. Stay close, stay strong, stay quit!

My what a difference 20 days makes.

My world continues to crumble. Quitters continue to fail.

Anger, fear, resentment, despair, isolation, all continue to eat away at my resolve.

Thanks to those of you who are still here.

I have noticed over the last couple weeks that the further I get away from this sight, the more the fog settles back in.

For those of you who want to stay quit, here's my advice:

Stay close, stay strong, stay quit

That is why I do the HOF Train. I feel it not only helps others who are quitting but I know that it helps me stay quit. As long as I can pull the lever I will be guiding that train through the months and picking up new HOF'ers.

quitter failure is directly correlated to how close/far they are from the site...

i stay super close... i stay super quit.

you got my number bro -- use it if necessary.

195 and counting

5 days to the 2nd floor. Not quite the same anticipation as the HOF, but still noteworthy. Cravings continue to be fewer and fewer. I have found the best way to fight the urge or fight the funk is to come in here and keep one of you stupid fuckers from putting that shit in your mouth! :D

Fuck you nic bitch, you don't own me anymore!

Day 181

Wow, 6 months already. It's actually gone by quick. The first 100 were very slow, but the last 81 seem to be much quicker. Some of that is due to the short summer we have here in Maine. A lot of it is because I spend my free time now enjoying my family, instead of trying to figure out how to squeeze a dip in around whatever "obligations" I had. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I don't still have thoughts of enjoying a dip, I just stop it right there. They are only thoughts. I still know the shame, anger, guilt and resentment will be the only things waiting for me if I have that dip, even just one. I am still 100% committed to my quit. The only complaint I have is that I have been much less involved with this site over the last 81 days then I was the first 100. My priorities have not changed, just simply what I am doing with my life. I have been spending more time repairing the damage I caused during the 23 years I dipped, instead of spending as much time here. I still try to post everyday, but usually only in June 2008/QWA (thanks my brothers!) and the alcohol quit. I quit both the same day, for similar reasons, along with some other things, all of which have caused me to start truly living my life. I wish I could give more to this site, as the nicotine is by far was the most constant struggle I had. I would like to help anyone who wants to quit, but I cannot compromise my own quit to do so. That being said, I expect as fall rolls around I will be making a comeback posting in other groups and being more supportive. I still believe in "paying it forward", and I always plan to keep some connection with this site. As I said, I am happy to help anyone I can with their quit. Right now, if someone needs my help, reach out and PM me. I have 181 days under my belt, I still struggle at times, but I have phone numbers and am not afraid to use them. If someone wants mine, all they need to do is ask. I may not be on the site but I am always willing to help anyone with their quit. Feel free to spread the word to anyone else you run into who may not have read this. My e-mail works well also.

Continued luck with all your quits!
