Ready - Day 274.

I havn't thought about having a dip in a long time. I am not saying that I never will. I'm not an idiot. Just giving all you guests a little glimps of what you can accomplish.

I know you have tried to quit in the past. Hell, we all have. This site works.

I know it's fuckin scary. Your sitting there in a cold fucking sweat at just the thought of giving up your best friend in the whole world.

The first few minutes, hours and days will be bad. After that, things get better. They get better every day. Until one day, you wake up, start your day and find that sometime in the afternoon was the first time you actually remembered that you used to dip.

On that day, you will wonder why the hell you didn't quit years ago. It is time to quit. You know it, I know it.

Sign up. Come on inside and take a look around. Say hey to some fine men and women who happen to be the finest quitters you will ever get to know.

You can do this. We can help.

Take it from me . . .This guys knows exactly what he is talking about. While he has and always will be knawing at my heels as a quitter . . . (I made the great deciscion to quit 4 days before Ready) he is a motivation and inspiration to myself and the rest of the site.

So take a few seconds to enjoy that lipper in your mouth, ( I know that I had a lipper in my mouth the first time I found this website) and then join myself and Ready in making the deciscion to save your life.

Quitting will not be easy, but I will promise you this . . . you will never regret being nicotene free. I haven't once woken up in the morning and said "Man I shoul dhave never quit"

So to end the ramblings here I will just say that I look forward to seeing all of you posting up roll and joining the KTC brotherhood.

I'm pullin for him....and everybody else that wants to quit.

Here's the thing......

This is very serious....this is not a "boys club" place to come and be entertained and hang out. I can lose pretty much everything in my life due to outside influences beyond my control....I could lose my business due to a bad economy, I could lose my family to tragedy...I could lose my home and possessions to fire, theft or natural disaster......

The one thing i can not lose unless i give it away is.....my integrity.

I take roll call very seriously. It is the same as shaking your hand, looking you in the eyes and giving you my word that TODAY, I will stand by your side, shoulder to shoulder and battle this addiction.....and I WILL WIN.....Not only will i win...but i will help you win if you need it. I expect the same level of committment from every quitter that signs roll today.

This site provides ALL the tools for success....Information, Accountability, Expectation for you to uphold your Integrity, Relationships, Empathy, Distraction to keep your mind off the craves, Cameraderie.......etc.

Ultimately, while support is offered to ALL of us, our quits are very personal and we each bear the final responsibility to win today.......

I give you my word......Today, I will stand by you and I will win.

In the end, a Spartan's true strength is the warrior next to him. So give respect and honor to him, and it will be returned to you.

Very wise words from my friend Mule.

Ready - 248.

You really have no idea how great things can be without the nic.

Embrace the wonderful in life. You can do this. It is not an advertisement, it is not an exageration. Are you reading this thinking, "there is no fucking way I can get through tomorrow without a fat dip in my lip"

I understand. You see, I was exactly where you are right now.

The truth of the matter is, Yes. You can do this. I am proof.

It very well can be done. Sign up, find me, it's not hard. I will help you.

Ready - Day 229.

Something cool happened to me today.

It was near the end of the day. I was finishing up my chores. Feeding and watering the animals and cleaning out the garage. I felt great. I was thinking about grillin a steak for dinner and that sounded damn good. My kids were being good, the animals were being good and the house was clean. I just finished up a game of holdem and came in 5th out of 180.

I was thinkin, damn life is good. Then I thought, why the hell wouldn't it be? Then it hit me, oh shit I don't dip anymore. Wow.

Here is the really cool part. I had been on the site half the day and didn't think about dipping. How strange is that. I was on the site, yet not thinking about me having a dip in any way, shape or form. I really can't explain it.


Thinkin about quittin? Do it.

I'm gonna go grill up that steak now.

Ready - Day 222

IMHO, All things considered, There really is no question about it. If you are going to be truthful with yourself, quitting is the right thing to do.

However, I am an open minded person. If anyone would like to present a position indicating that smokeless tobacco is not harmful, I will take the information into consideration.

And then, as an intelligent person, who is not willing to hastin his own death, I will dismiss any and all arguements as wishful thinking and continue to quit this mother fucker.

How does that sound?

[Ready]

You are correct, I don't KNOW how huge it is. But I'm pretty sure I think I know how huge it is. And for that, I congratulate you on another success!

Yes, I do believe you know. The other day was particularly difficult.

Thanks.

Ready - Day 206.

Just a quick note. The last week I have been at work, I did not even think about dip. Not once. Most of my triggers used to be at work. You have no idea how fucking huge that is.

I am not curred. I am not foolish enough to think that. The reason I point this out is because I have seen questions lately asking when things will get better.

Things get better all the time when your quit.

Life is good.

Way to go Ready, nice job brother. :lol:

[Ready]

Ready - Day 200.

It is very difficult to explain how this feels to others who have not quit or who have just started their quit. I will try. I may be fighting an uphill battle trying to convince you. You see, I remember what it was like to be in your shoes. During the first week of my quit, everything sucked. It was fucking hard. But I wanted to quit. At that time, you probably could not have convinced me of how good things could be without nic.

It's not just a health issue, although that should make you want to quit all on it's own, there is an equal if not more compelling reason to quit. Quality of Life.

I have seen several very well written posts by some fine quitters discussing their new found "Quality of Life" They described it much better than I ever will.

Life is good. There are so many things I do now that dip prevented me from doing. That's right, dip prevents you from doing things you should and would rather be doing. How many times have you passed up giving your wife or girlfriend a kiss because you had a dip in? How many times have you put off spending time with your children? How many of you have put your kids to bed early so you could put a dip in. That is what nic makes you do. But you are an accomplice.

You have a choice. You can decide not to be a slave. You can do this. We will help.

Now quit being a selfish fucking prick and quit.

Balls in your court. Today is a great day to quit.

[Ready]

thanks for your help in getting me to 200. Your key to the second floor is not far away.

Keep up the amazing job you are doing to pay it forward.

Thanks KR. Congrats. You're one bad ass quitter. It's been an honor to quit along side you. See you on the second floor in a few.

My fella bros,

You almost lost an Aug member and gained a Nov. addict the last 2 days...

The homebuilding co. I work for went thru another round of layoffs yesterday. I had to layoff a guy I consider a good friend. I'm down from 14 to 3 guys now if that gives you a pic of what the fucking economy is like. 

I have almost used nic 4 times in the last 2 days. I had EVERY opportunity to smoke. I've stopped at the store 3 times in 2 days, trying my DAMNEST to talk myself into nic. I've called JW 3 times today only to get his voicemail. I almost called smokes, brent, and mule but I didn't. WHY?!?! B/c I had control. I had control over an addiction that's kicked my ass for too damn long.

I'm hurting guys. I pissed the wife off, work/life is harder than fuck right now but even with that, I won't use nic. I didn't post this morning to give myself an excuse. That didn't work. I'm still on day 85, hitting 86 tomorrow.

Without this site, my own willpower and GOD above, I'd be a day 1er today.

You're gonna need a wheel barrel to carry around those big ole balls you got there.

Whatever it takes.

Caving is not an aption, do something else. I suspect you know this. I also suspect you know what kind of damage you would do, not only to yourself, but to so many on this site. Including me, you fucking retard.

Now stay quit, or else. Yeah it's a fucking threat!

i really want to say a couple smartass things right now but i cant bring myself to fuck up your blog ready, keep up the quit bro. :P
