I think the biggest lie that i tell people or tell myself is that "I'll try to quit".  The minute i say i'll try i'm sunk...I appreciate all the support from complete strangers...i offer my support to you all as well!  Nice to know i am not alone in this!
Alone, we are doomed. But, as a group.... we can accomplish damn near anything. One day at a time.
I'm with you radman... There is some serious badass quiters in August. I'm pleased to sea these guys backing each other up like they are.

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.

Listen Jay you are now entering the hardest part. Sure we will all have tough moments that suck for time to come, but hang in there we are here struggling with you. One reason we all want to help is it reminds us how painful the suck was so we are reminded why it is we can't let our guard down for even a moment as we never want to experience that again, ever. A reminder also that we are not alone and that by joining this site we have surrounded ourselves with people we want to be like, !!!badass quitters!!!! I can hear the sound in your post your in pain, dude minute by minute brother don't give up, you stay the coarse damn it, you promised. We are quitting with you right now!

How bad do you want to quit jay?
Like more than i can explain. I'm out of excuses to keep doing it. After a couple of bad marriages i'm finally content, i have wonderful children that i want to be able to impart some of my life lessons to. So yeah , pretty bad
Ditto. I decided 967 days ago that the most important life lesson that I could impart was "nicotine is unacceptable". Up to that point, I had failed as a father. My 2 youngest kids probably don't remember my disgusting failures with tobacco, and I hope that my 10-year-old only remembers the fact that I quit, and it was hard. Nothing else really matters.


I gotta say this thread is a beautiful thing and a perfect example of why I love KTC. Nebraska, Russell, and Trauma are struggling with their own quits, yet here they are helping a brother out. Jay, you absolutely cannot find this kind of support ANYWHERE else. That is a fact. Make this quit stick.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Like i told Jeremy earlier about hope. First quit. To hell with hope. We "HOPE" we escape cancer. We "DECIDE" if we use nicotine today. You decide right now that the phone call saved your life, hold good to the promise you just made by posting roll like a badass, nut up and do it. Minute by minute hour by hour day by day..... until. Quit the i hope, i am going to try, and start the i commit, i can, i will until you say i did! We can do this man however painful, it is just a decision, simple as that! I am glad to quit with you man!

Jay glad to help. From here try your best to relax be calm and enjoy the pain you are going throu. As crazy as that sounds it is good advice given to me by some of the badass quiters on here. It is possible. I did it. Above all remember we are quit for today, we only focus on today. Keep your promise to yourself and all of us.

jayd,


The Roll Call thing is a bit confusing to me as well, Cut/Paste and add your "days?"

Maybe one of the 'more senior maybe can 'spain it'/
Hey man I just private messages you call me and I will walk you throu it in the phone. I nearly went insane trying to figure it out the first few times.

I get the point, but the point is to stay clean 1st, being accountable to you, Roll Call is being accountable to the "group" as a whole.

Nic has control, not us, and i need to get it out of my system physically 100 % before i can get it out of my system mentally.

I want to get past the "sucks" as they call it here, the body crying out for the fix. I am praying my ass off and breathing through i.t. Today is better (for now than yesterday)
