Quote from: Robb
Day 10 and it's going great. I remember this from when I stopped using nic last year. Once I got over The Suck, it was smooth sailing. I'm not sitting around obsessing over dip, romanticizing dip and feeling sad that I don't have a dip. If life just stays exactly as it is right now, I'm quit like fuck...

BUT

I caved when circumstances changed last time. So I need to keep cruising along with this site and keep building that network of accountability for when the circumstances change.

June: packing up the house and driving a u-haul from WA to AZ

July: the stress of unpacking into a new house, wife busy with work, me alone in the house
A trip to Flagstaff to see our high school/college friends, some of whom chew.
Family reunion in San Diego. The cousins tend to use tobacco when we get together.

So, my brothers and sisters in quit, lean on me now, because come summer, I'm gonna need to lean on you.


Robb, I am only worried about not using nicotine for another 10 hours and 15 minutes. I haven't thought about how I am going to quit tomorrow, June or July yet, I'll worry about that then. This mindset works, and I hate to see you create anxiety over the future when today is the day you should focus on.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Figure it out so that your kids know that they have a strong father who can fight mano a mano against nicotine and not give up. Not many can do that, so show your kids that you are special and that you are making sure to always be their brave and strong dad because you fight every day to ensure that you are with them for as long as possible.

GroupMe. Flip through our quit group thread, someone has been posting invitations every so often in bold, capital letters. Click on it.

No, day 1 is the day you stopped, you are good, just wanted clarification. Nothing easy about this quit for the first few days, buckle up and get some quitters phone numbers - it could save your life!
Us July Jackals got some fancy pants app to be in constant contact through chat. I've got an army of quitters backing me up today. Woke up, posted roll, EDD, ODAAT.

Thanks for keeping me honest, Thumblewort, I'm proud to quit with you today.
Hi Robb, fellow Jackal here....what is this app you speak of?

Hold up. You had a used pouch in today and posted Day 2? Please clarify.
I used nicotine on the morning of 4/17, joined KTC in the afternoon, and rifled through the trash like a crackhead for a pouch that evening. I posted roll the next day, today, the 18th. I haven't used nicotine today. So I guess today is day one. I'll fix my dates. I'm a liar.

Hey wolf,

Don't want to be a ... But

What's different this time?
When you gonna see your buddies again?
Seems you quit before and won't be a problem doing it again.
I mean... Isn't that half the fun? Sneaking around and lieing about it???

Not convinced your ready.
You caved.
Do you think posting roll is the magic formula.
What does posting roll mean to you?
I Don't usually bust balls like this, but I'm concerned about your girls. Maybe they can bring there new dad his tobacco cans after you fight cancer and loose.

I live with it daily watching my father in law die.

Don't walk in here acting like you have this figured out.
You are an addict, playing Russia Roulette with your life and with the future of your girls.
One cell goes bad...... You may just go Night Night.

FOR WHAT....

A poison Stimulate? That owns you?

Prove me wrong. Show up here early every morning, post roll, and promise to never touch the NB ever again. EDD ODAAT.

I so want you to be real, and be quit.

Ps Money is a real weak reason to quit.
You just put IT #1 before your family?
And tomorrow when you have money, I quess it will be OK to cave again???

Wanna fight?
I'm ready to fight you for your quit and for your life.

I quit with you.
Rawls 152

Holy shit. Yeah, you're right. I've got a used pouch in right now that I dug out of the trash. It's out now.

What does roll call mean to me? It means structure. It means forming a new habit and a new routine.

And money is tied up in family. Having money to feed and clothe and provide for them. But I see your point..

Damn. Thanks for smacking the rose colored glasses off.

I'm kind of a loner, so the brotherhood aspect of KTC I sort of discounted. But no, in one short day I'm pretty blown away by the number of people who took the time to speak, and each one says "I quit with you" like it's an active, right now action.

Am I ready? In the next 100 days I'll still have a brand new baby and we're packing up and moving from Washington to Arizona. The site says don't quit during a stressful time, but I don't see a stress free time coming any time soon. So ready or not, now is when I'm quitting.

Thanks for giving a shit about a stranger.

I quit with you.

Just what I thought...... That my friend is the action of an addict. You need to be nicotine free before you post roll.

I have no idea what is compelling me to comment on your intro 'pony'. I really don't understand the whole pony boner talk, guess I'm just too old. That being said I've seen every reason to quit nicotine during my time here on KTC. Honestly over 40 years I used most of the same reasons for all my failed half assed attemps to quit. Money is actually one of the weakest, addicts would steal food from their babies mouth for their fix, that same baby can stay in a shitty diaper for another hour for the fix. I believe that the only reason to quit that will lead to success is a selfish desire to quit for #1. Once I decided that I want to be free and found this resource success started.
You are off to a good start quitting but I encourage you to read all the HOF speeches and words of wisdom you can, it will give you a new perspective on nicotine addiction.
Thanks. I will.
