Thanks again everyone. To be honest I hesitated at first because I didnt want to renig on my promise withthe roll call. After I collected myself I went through with it. I will repost tomorrow. My wife will be a great support as well. Thanks again everyone for the support so far. I feel a little silly for posting so much but I didn't realize how much this decision would effect me.
Timpy,

Here is how to be sucessful:

#1 Post Roll
#2 repeat number #1--laying your honor on the line daily to KTC
#3 read everything on this site--INTROS-- HOF SPECHES--everything
#4 Educate yourself
#5 Have great off site support (wife, family etc) --cry on some shoulders


I did this 209 days ago--so can you-- I did it ONE DAY AT A TIME--don't worry about tomrrow--only keep your promise to yourself and KTC TODAY!!!

I did it. At least I think that I did, lol. I am still feeling good now it hasn't hit me yet. Thanks in advance for the support.
You got it!

Now just remember, you promised all of those quitters that you would not us it today.

Wake up first thing in the morning and promise them again for tomorrow.

Congrats--You made your promise! Now you have thousands of sucessful quitters to help you through!

Post roll every morning and honor your promise.

I have a one hour commute one way. When I quit 209 days ago, I came up with a plan and started changing my routines--Get seed etc for the drive home and pat yourself on the back all the way home.

When you get home park yourself on this site for more support in chat!!

Pm e if you need anything--This time is for real...

I know the health risks and want to get out of it now before I really regret it. I had a gum graft in the front and consider myself lucky that is all I needed.
Next time it will be cancer not a gum craft--Post your promise!

You get a hall pass on screwing up posting roll the first week or so. Just get your promise in there asap and get this quitting started!

Here is the version or roll call post I found the easiest versus using key combos.

1. Find the last roll call post
2. Click quote on that post in the upper right
3. On the next screen find the quote box with the other members roll call posts
4. right click in that quote box and click "select all"
5. Right click on the selected text and choose "cut"
6. Move to the upper post box that is blank, right click and select paste
7. Insert your name and quit day
8. Click "Add reply" button toward the bottom.

Try it on this message right here to get use to it. Put your name right under mine.

Magnum- 280- Quit with Timpy today!

Fact is, first day post with no real connection to the site isn't going to hold the meaning necessary to keep you quit. Who cares if you break your word to a bunch of internet screen names and avatars? Create a new alias and come back with no consequence. Keep the same screen name and try again. It's that simple. Once you feel an emotional connection to the site, your roll post will hold more weight.

Right now, the thing that's going to keep you from swinging by a gas station is sheer will power. If you buy that can, you're not only increasing your risk of cancer by feeding your addiction, you are admitting to yourself that you are weak. You don't believe in yourself. You're not worth it. You are a failure. Tobacco is in control.

Post roll, and when you post roll, you are making a promise to yourself that you are going to remain nicotine free today. You deserve a healthy smile, freedom, strength. You deserve success. You are in complete control of what goes into your system. The only reason you'll remain a slave is if you choose to remain a slave. Use your balls.

No No.

Right now you don't need to learn how to do it properly.

Post a message in there as

Timpy- Day 1, ready.

We don't care where it is or why. You get a pass on doing it right the first few days.

Just try, we will fix it if you screw up.

Go post Roll
