Quote from: PinchedWelcome to KTC, you appear to have your mind made up to quit for you, keep that goal let the 7yo or anyone else just enjoy the time but keep quitting for you. If I may add a couple of things that in my opinion can make or break your quit (all items below with underlined words are links to different areas on KTC or referenced, all safe)

1. Your spouse/girlfriend, her support is critical and she deserves to understand more what you are going through, so see the following link and hell print it or e-mail it to her to read Spousal Support

2. Read this for yourself to make sure you fully know what to expect What to expect when you quit; some days are better then others, then eventually all days are better

3. Read the stories on here at KTC, the Kern story is a tear jerker and though you want to be around for your kids this will reinforce it dramatically, Kern's Story; then there are these words spoken by a man who lost his brother to this stupid shit Sean Marsee, damn I wish he would have talked at my middle school.

4. Find an alternative and keep it on you at all times. There will be times when going to the Convenience Store and getting a soda or anything else can cause one lapse in judgement and lead to a huge mistake. Don't be that guy, be the guy with Testicular Fortitude.

5. Find a couple of other quitters and exchange numbers with them, if you need another please PM me and let's do this.

6. Remember that you are an addict, 100 days is a milestone not a goal; the goal is a lifetime being free from the nic bitch. Get pissed off at big tobacco and the dangers they put you in.

7. Remember that you are the one who caused you to be an addict, so don't let anger get outside of your control. It is no one else's fault that you got here. Your family will only support you if you are not an asshole.

Quote from: giantsfanvanew member here. 3 liters of water since 6am, Smokey Mountain Wintergreen in place of the dip, also hit a 3 mile run. Feeling great

Been dipping on and off since 87/88. Had several multi year breaks but somehow always wound up back, typically triggered by round of golf where I had "just one dip"

Mom died last year of lung cancer, 30 year smoker, I was pissed at the dumb choices she made, and here I was making the same dumb choices. I lost a ton of weight this past year, got in the best shape of my life, however I was still doing something daily that could kill me. Turning point for me was when my 7 year old asked me 2 weeks ago "is that stuff bad for you??" Decided that day I was quitting, ordered my smokey mountain and just posted roll this AM.

Great job brother. The next couple days will most likely be very hard. Hunker down and get through it. We all did it. Post roll every morning, make some friends, work the quit system, and you will succeed.

I quit with you today. Holler if you need anything.
Read everything on KTC. Welcome center, intros, HOF, cancer stories, wow, everything... Post roll every day, and get involved. The more accountability you build the better off you will be. The KTC plan works! Learn the plan, live the plan.
PM me if you need a # or have questions.
Already love the attitude. Get some digits from your October brothers, lots of Day 2's and 3's right now, and stay close to KTC. I quit with you today.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.
