My suggestion is to dig yourself a very deep "quit hole". Post observations, comments, rants and raves that support your quit. The more you write here about your quit, the deeper you dig your quit hole, the harder it is to climb out. Get at least 12 of your group's digits. Start a GroupMe (you'll catch hell for this, but it's valuable, as long as you don't let it become a substitute for KTC

I've given this a lot of thought. I had already determined I was going to get off facebook for a while, and the time I spent there, I would spend it here. That addictive personality has to have something right?

I actually started doing this here: No HOF Speech

I'm even more determined now!

I read the plea from Support_his_quit and just broke down.

Since I've been more or less bed-ridden, I went to Christi and told her about this wife's desire... I had a hard time getting it out, for it sounded just like something Christi would've done, had she known about this site, years ago.

How many times the last 29 years of our marriage I promised to quit!? Too many to count. I hope this wonderful and devoted woman get's what she desires most in life.

I will never, ever, let my wife down again by caving!

God bless you, Support his quit!

38 years. Not a day longer though. You're ready. You committed, no looking back. Daily post early when you get up to promise to quit that day only. Tomorrow is another day. I know you'll stay quit daily because gentlemen always keep their word. So it seems all we have to conquer is getting you to post roll. Be sure to create accountability by getting to know your quit bros and sis. Trade cell digits. Text each other. Come in here and rage, vent. We're ready for you to be quit.
Done4Me,

I've thought about you the last few days. Maybe I should change my name to suthern_not_gntlman...

I don't know if you read my answers to the three questions, for why I caved. If you haven't, you can find it here: My Answers

Nothing excuses my actions. I've got to move forward from here.

As I sit here in bed, from pneumonia, I've had a whole lot of time to consider my quit and my cave. I've made some decisions.

I will no more idly pass through the halls of KTC. I will take my time and use all of the resources available to me. That includes this Intro.

I realize that I can write whatever I need to in this little blog (thanks Can_I_kick_it). I can express my frustrations and expound my delights. I can let each and everyone of my brothers here at KTC know how much their help has provided for me and how much I am willing to help others be provided.

This blog will be my journal. My journal for the next 331 days. I made it to 330 this last time, this time my goal is eternity!

Done4Me, please don't think too unkindly towards me, for not being the gentleman I should've been.

God bless...
I got your back, sir.

You know what you did. You know what you have to do. ODAAT, honor God w/ your body. Make a promise to Him and your KTC peeps.

Happy Ressurrection Day. Today is a reminder that Christ is in us, the hope and glory. Let's not put poison in there to accompany Him.
I don't know you, but I gave Tim a heck of a hard time when he caved early on. He is a role model on this site. And I have to give you props on raising a bad ass kid.

I read your answers... But what I'd really be curious about is what was going through your head when you sat in the vehicle with that pouch in your mouth. Did you think about letting your team down? Did you think about how your son would feel? Not trying to lay you on a guilt trip... But I have to tell you... It is the fear of how I would feel having to confess to guys like your group that kept me honest. Sin is part of life... But integrity and loyalty are tough to re-earn.

You'll have my help and number if you want it, because I owe your son that for all that he has done. Let me know. My help comes with strings... You have to commit to calling me before you touch nicotine going forward. That's it. If you are in, shoot me a pm.
3/28/16 Observations:

1. No answer to my questions... Did you think about letting your team down? Did you think about how your son would feel?
2. No PM asking for my number.

I read some more of the stuff you wrote. One thing struck me, and that was where you noted the vulgarity of the site causing you to not be as engaged. You wanna see vulgar? Have you seen that picture of Heidi Cruz next to Melania? Now, that sir, is vulgar. Get your fucking ass in here and help us help you. Don't let any dumb shit prevent you from kicking nicotine in the fucking nuts. There, I wanted to spread a little vulgarity in your thread. Looking for people missing role is interesting for sure, but right now - it is time to focus on YOU... not THEM.

My questions stand... in my book, you won't be successful until you look in the mirror and admit how selfish and careless you were. Until you tell your group (and your son - who is a bonafide true leader) why you decided to not honor your word... I give your chances of succeeding somewhere in the 8% range. I read your answers, but to me, you need to look much deeper.

My offer also stands. You want to win? There is nothing sweeter than winning. Show us how bad you want it.

--Worktowin
Don't know that I will PM you asking for your number, especially now...

I'm not going to purposefully talk to anyone that is going to blatantly post profanity, when I specifically asked them not to. You really think that your response is going to generate any goodwill towards you from me?

I'll find my help elsewhere thank you very much.

God bless
Oh, brother, you're going to have to develop a much thicker skin if you hope to truly utilize this site and all these badass folk.

Look underneath... that's a lifeline being thrown to you. Can you really afford to ignore it?
There is no doubt in my mind that he means well.

I just refuse to purposefully surround myself with it.

I know I have no credibility in anyone's eyes right now, but that doesn't give everyone else the right to blatantly disrespect me.

It's one thing to see the profanity and the vulgarity when you pop into group. It's another altogether when you purposefully reach out into someone else's post and use that kind of language for the shock value.

I want no part of it.

If he is truly sincere in reaching out, he can do it without all the adjectives.
Worktowini is one of the friendliest, most thoughtful people on this whole site. He has posted 10,000 times trying to help newer quitters get their act togetherness out of the goodness of his heart. That's exactly what he tried to do with you. Get over yourself with worries about foul language. Quitting is a grueling tough task, and some of us use colorful language as an outlet to express how grueling the effort is. This isn't a church. it's a site where people get tough and stand up to their addiction. So man up, get over a few potty words and move on with your quit.
Dagranger...

You're 100% right... About worktowin... We hooked up, all is well.
Fair enough

I don't know you, but I gave Tim a heck of a hard time when he caved early on. He is a role model on this site. And I have to give you props on raising a bad ass kid.

I read your answers... But what I'd really be curious about is what was going through your head when you sat in the vehicle with that pouch in your mouth. Did you think about letting your team down? Did you think about how your son would feel? Not trying to lay you on a guilt trip... But I have to tell you... It is the fear of how I would feel having to confess to guys like your group that kept me honest. Sin is part of life... But integrity and loyalty are tough to re-earn.

You'll have my help and number if you want it, because I owe your son that for all that he has done. Let me know. My help comes with strings... You have to commit to calling me before you touch nicotine going forward. That's it. If you are in, shoot me a pm.
3/28/16 Observations:

1. No answer to my questions... Did you think about letting your team down? Did you think about how your son would feel?
2. No PM asking for my number.

I read some more of the stuff you wrote. One thing struck me, and that was where you noted the vulgarity of the site causing you to not be as engaged. You wanna see vulgar? Have you seen that picture of Heidi Cruz next to Melania? Now, that sir, is vulgar. Get your fucking ass in here and help us help you. Don't let any dumb shit prevent you from kicking nicotine in the fucking nuts. There, I wanted to spread a little vulgarity in your thread. Looking for people missing role is interesting for sure, but right now - it is time to focus on YOU... not THEM.

My questions stand... in my book, you won't be successful until you look in the mirror and admit how selfish and careless you were. Until you tell your group (and your son - who is a bonafide true leader) why you decided to not honor your word... I give your chances of succeeding somewhere in the 8% range. I read your answers, but to me, you need to look much deeper.

My offer also stands. You want to win? There is nothing sweeter than winning. Show us how bad you want it.

--Worktowin
Don't know that I will PM you asking for your number, especially now...

I'm not going to purposefully talk to anyone that is going to blatantly post profanity, when I specifically asked them not to. You really think that your response is going to generate any goodwill towards you from me?

I'll find my help elsewhere thank you very much.

God bless
Oh, brother, you're going to have to develop a much thicker skin if you hope to truly utilize this site and all these badass folk.

Look underneath... that's a lifeline being thrown to you. Can you really afford to ignore it?
There is no doubt in my mind that he means well.

I just refuse to purposefully surround myself with it.

I know I have no credibility in anyone's eyes right now, but that doesn't give everyone else the right to blatantly disrespect me.

It's one thing to see the profanity and the vulgarity when you pop into group. It's another altogether when you purposefully reach out into someone else's post and use that kind of language for the shock value.

I want no part of it.

If he is truly sincere in reaching out, he can do it without all the adjectives.
I replied too soon

38 years. Not a day longer though. You're ready. You committed, no looking back. Daily post early when you get up to promise to quit that day only. Tomorrow is another day. I know you'll stay quit daily because gentlemen always keep their word. So it seems all we have to conquer is getting you to post roll. Be sure to create accountability by getting to know your quit bros and sis. Trade cell digits. Text each other. Come in here and rage, vent. We're ready for you to be quit.
Done4Me,

I've thought about you the last few days. Maybe I should change my name to suthern_not_gntlman...

I don't know if you read my answers to the three questions, for why I caved. If you haven't, you can find it here: My Answers

Nothing excuses my actions. I've got to move forward from here.

As I sit here in bed, from pneumonia, I've had a whole lot of time to consider my quit and my cave. I've made some decisions.

I will no more idly pass through the halls of KTC. I will take my time and use all of the resources available to me. That includes this Intro.

I realize that I can write whatever I need to in this little blog (thanks Can_I_kick_it). I can express my frustrations and expound my delights. I can let each and everyone of my brothers here at KTC know how much their help has provided for me and how much I am willing to help others be provided.

This blog will be my journal. My journal for the next 331 days. I made it to 330 this last time, this time my goal is eternity!

Done4Me, please don't think too unkindly towards me, for not being the gentleman I should've been.

God bless...
I got your back, sir.

You know what you did. You know what you have to do. ODAAT, honor God w/ your body. Make a promise to Him and your KTC peeps.

Happy Ressurrection Day. Today is a reminder that Christ is in us, the hope and glory. Let's not put poison in there to accompany Him.
I don't know you, but I gave Tim a heck of a hard time when he caved early on. He is a role model on this site. And I have to give you props on raising a bad ass kid.

Dude, I'm so very sorry. I must have missed your specific request to not post profanity. I did see that you hate vulgarity though. I'm sorta from the Ozarks, so we have different interpretations.

Anger is a very useful tool, properly harnessed. Personally, I would be furious at your failure and less furious with me... some hick from the sticks of the center of the United States trying to help Mr. Clean Jeans learn how to quit... but hey... I'm not a good begger.

You want my help, you let me know. Personally, if I were in your shoes, I'd gosh darn take my freaking help. But that's just me. My priority on KTC is quitting, not leading people to the well.

God Bless.

You know what you did. You know what you have to do. ODAAT, honor God w/ your body. Make a promise to Him and your KTC peeps.

Happy Ressurrection Day. Today is a reminder that Christ is in us, the hope and glory. Let's not put poison in there to accompany Him.
I don't know you, but I gave Tim a heck of a hard time when he caved early on. He is a role model on this site. And I have to give you props on raising a bad ass kid.

I read your answers... But what I'd really be curious about is what was going through your head when you sat in the vehicle with that pouch in your mouth. Did you think about letting your team down? Did you think about how your son would feel? Not trying to lay you on a guilt trip... But I have to tell you... It is the fear of how I would feel having to confess to guys like your group that kept me honest. Sin is part of life... But integrity and loyalty are tough to re-earn.

You'll have my help and number if you want it, because I owe your son that for all that he has done. Let me know. My help comes with strings... You have to commit to calling me before you touch nicotine going forward. That's it. If you are in, shoot me a pm.
Your PM surprised me yesterday. I remember when you posted a day 1 and also took you to be a future long timer. Had no clue you were LJT's pop either. Regardless, there's nothing I can say to you that would affect a more positive approach the second round than what you've already heard. Reach out, be more involved. If you happen to consider buying a can again, call your son before you stop at the c store. Life is precious and we're not here long. If you want to impact lives, first you have to save your own.

38 years. Not a day longer though. You're ready. You committed, no looking back. Daily post early when you get up to promise to quit that day only. Tomorrow is another day. I know you'll stay quit daily because gentlemen always keep their word. So it seems all we have to conquer is getting you to post roll. Be sure to create accountability by getting to know your quit bros and sis. Trade cell digits. Text each other. Come in here and rage, vent. We're ready for you to be quit.
Done4Me,

I've thought about you the last few days. Maybe I should change my name to suthern_not_gntlman...

I don't know if you read my answers to the three questions, for why I caved. If you haven't, you can find it here: My Answers

Nothing excuses my actions. I've got to move forward from here.

As I sit here in bed, from pneumonia, I've had a whole lot of time to consider my quit and my cave. I've made some decisions.

I will no more idly pass through the halls of KTC. I will take my time and use all of the resources available to me. That includes this Intro.

I realize that I can write whatever I need to in this little blog (thanks Can_I_kick_it). I can express my frustrations and expound my delights. I can let each and everyone of my brothers here at KTC know how much their help has provided for me and how much I am willing to help others be provided.

This blog will be my journal. My journal for the next 331 days. I made it to 330 this last time, this time my goal is eternity!

Done4Me, please don't think too unkindly towards me, for not being the gentleman I should've been.

God bless...
