Welcome aboard Catch. First and foremost, you will need to post Roll. Roll is your daily promise to yourself and all of your new brothers and sisters that you will not use tobacco in any form that day. You will post your name and the number of days you are quit each day in the October 2013 quit group. Each and every day you will post your promise. No exceptions. That is the price of admission to KTC. Nothing more and nothing less. The reason you are put in October is that will be the month if you join us today that you will celebrate being 100 days free of nicotineÂ…your Hall of Fame date.
Now that you know the basics, it is time to read all you can on this site. Go to the welcome center and that will get you started. Post roll and look up at your inbox (1). That is a personal message from me with my telephone number. Lets get your party started brother. Wayne

Welcome Catch,  congrats on 56 days!!

Glad my brother-in-law told me about this site, but wish he'd done it before tonight. After nearly 25 years of chewing/dipping (started with chewing tobacco in the hay fields, progressed to Cope and it's cheaper cousins), I'm now 56 days into the quitting process- the longest I've ever made it.

I've been a chain dipper for years, and working fire/EMS for the last 14 years hasn't helped with that. I know I should know better being in that line of work, but chew has been my stress relief for at least that long, and I've had one in nearly every waking hour.

Dad was recently diagnosed with oropharangeal cancer and pushed me to quit. Since I promised my grandpa I'd quit smoking when he had lung cancer and managed to keep it, I figured I could manage this promise.
