Day 1

Texan, awesome choice. The support comes out of the woodwork here. Sounds like you're good and pissed, embarrassed, fed up and ready. You better be ready for mind tricks, shakes, mood swings, the fog... its all coming. But............. we'll all be here for you. We've all been through it. YOU CAN DO IT.

I'm with Pab, I have about same story as him, although he's and old fart :) well, OK i am too.

Get active, get into your quit group and be a leader. Post support daily your group and in other months, like I did 800 days ago. You'll be surprised at the love coming back your way

Pab has posted support in my group every day! He takes time out of his day every day for the last 800 days to support little old me. Are you kidding me? Talk about awesome brotherhood.

ALL of us are going toward the same goal. Ready to join us? We'd love to have you.

I see you made an account awhile back. Glad you took the plunge. It is important to note this is your first and only quit, you only stopped before. I stopped 30-40 times over 17 years of using. I only quit once. It's the understanding of the difference between the two that will help you.

Welcome to Ktc and the normal life. Sounds like youÂ’re a lot like myself. Been dipping way before you became an adult. If thatÂ’s the case you will finally see what a normal life supposed to be like. 1031 dayÂ’s later after a 38 year stretch strangled by the Nic Bitch IÂ’m finally learning a little every damn day what normal life is supposed to be like and I will tell you IÂ’m loving it. Man is different. You have to learn to do everything without your ole killer friend nic. At first she worked on me every second telling me how much easier it was to handle all these struggles and stress with her. SheÂ’s a lying bitch. Now, the ole brain has to be rewired and it takes awhile but keep in mind you own this Quit! Main thing is buy into Ktc! Stay on here as much as possible for awhile,reading every thing you can. Exchange numbers, find a Quit partner exchange texts often. Exchange numbers with as many people as possible. Be a man of your word post roll early every damn day and you will own this quit! IÂ’m here damn near every day my number is a pm away. Damn proud to be quitting with you today!

Hello all,

Today is my first day off of nicotine. I've quit a bunch of times as I am sure most of you have. I started over 30 years ago. I have recently been doing the nicotine pill but have used them way too long. So today, i threw them away and I am done. I am done with the crutch, the hiding, the lies, the expense. It is all bullshit. From now on, I will stand on my 2 feet and face everything head on by myself.

Red1texan - Welcome to KTC.

It looks like you joined way back in January and have an old quit date. I won't bust your chops too much for that, but you do need to get it updated because there ARE some people that will get on you for that.

The key to success here is to take part. Be active. Be accountable. The principle is pretty straightforward:

1) Wake up
2) Post your promise to be quit for the day (post roll)
3) Keep your word
4) Repeat

I'm only on Day 25, but I can tell you that it works GREAT! Is it going to suck? Absolutely. Your next few days are going to be a living hell. They are going to suck beyond belief. BUT - Remember that. Fight through it and use it as motivation to keep yourself from ever having to go through it again.

I very highly recommend reaching out to other members of your quit group, the January '18 Ball BUSTERS. I'm part of that group, and saw that you posted roll this morning. Don't worry about mangling your post at first, someone will clean up the mess for now. The important thing is to POST EVERY DAY.

I'm sending my contact information to your inbox (upper right corner of your screen). Text me. Call me. Yell at me. Whatever you need to do to stay quit. I can promise you that being in contact with other people going through the same crap makes all the difference in the world!
