"...thought I didn't need support..." I love that part, Kyle. I thought the exact same thing. In fact, I actually thought that I didn't need to post roll at all, but I'd just do it at first because that is what is done here.

Luckily, the badass quitters somehow got through to me...which is unbelievable because not only am I stupid, but I'm stubborn too. Quitting is a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to do it. You've got the guts. And I'm pumped about that. Think of that...YOUR quit fired me up?!!

Next step is staying quit. Posting roll makes staying quit possible. See, you don't have to quit forever here. Quitting forever is hard. So hard that nobody is doing that here. All we're concerned about is today. What about tomorrow, next week, next year, etc? I don't know. Nobody knows the future, so don't worry about it. And what's done is done...nobody can change the past. So don't worry about that either. All you can control is right now...today. And anybody can go one day, right?

That's all I'm doing here. I posted roll, gave my word. And I guaran-fuckin-tee you I will keep my word. I also plan on being here tomorrow. But that is tomorrow. We'll deal with tomorrow when it gets here. But nicotine is off the table for us today.

POST ROLL  KEEP YOUR WORD. Quitting is done ONE DAY AT A TIME. But it feels like one minute at a time at first, so stay glued to this site.

Every person posted above me is a winner, a top 10% kind of quitter. Every one of them struggled, badly, at the beginning. At least 1 tried hard to convince themselves that a patch or some gum would help wean the addiction, but in the end, that winner listened to logic and what works.

They are not struggling anymore. Every one of them will tell you how great freedom is, because life as an addict is not a life of freedom. You have taken your life back. There will be tough days. There are gonna be some times when you'll be angry, scared, depressed... And I hope all of those piss you the hell off. A plant in a little can did this to us, and we let it. Well fuck that. Life is yours again. It will get better - everyone above me will confirm.

Right now you are trying to figure out posting roll in October. Get your name on that list first thing and then use this site and its members. If some weak dude like me can do it, I know you can. This is the best decision of your life.

If you are really ready to quit this will be a life changing event for you. No one here can make you be ready. You need to come to that point yourself.

On the other side there is you and freedom from nicotine. Complete freedom.

I'm at day 298 today and I quit with you today!

My wife made me watch a movie tonight. Bout a golfer going through a tough time and an old guy guiding him on the right track, not just with golf but with his life and his spiritual life. About half way through the old guy taught the golfer a saying that I immediately liked. See, Feel, Trust. SO let's put that into play here at KTC. See the process (brotherhood, accountability, posting roll), Feel that you can commit to that process, and Trust in the process. Join your group (October). Get digits, give people yours. Post roll EVERY DAMN DAY. Make that promise to yourself and your group. So are you going to wake up tomorrow and cave again or you going to wake up tomorrow and See, Feel and Trust? It's on you.
No day but today.

24 years of dipping = 8,765 days of slavery to the nic-bitch (approximately)

I recently joined this website less than a month ago and became aware that there are other people going through what I'm going through. I'm not the only one and I'm not the only one suffering this terrible addiction. When i joined I posted an intro and tossed the remnants of my tin. I was excited and I posted roll on day 1 and day 2. By the morning of day 2 after sleeping through my first whole day I caved instantly on day 2. Since then I've been obsessed with how bad life sucks being controlled by nicotine. I've throughly been reading up on here gathering information and reading everyone's stories. I know I failed because I did not use this site properly and thought I didnt need the support. I few people reached out to me but I did nothing with it. Again I tossed my remnants down the toilet, tossed all my empties, and washed out all my spittle cups. I'm ready to do whatever I need to do to get this behind me and start a new life.
Probably won't do it right , but I look forward to posting roll tomorrow. Good night.
Thanks

If you have what it takes, I will quit with you everyday. Trust blindly, openly and follow the path. Ask questions and involve yourself.
If your names on that roll, I'll be quitting with you!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

My journey. The best part it is not over yet.
