Hi Ryan, you have surely come to the right place.
There are a couple quick things you need to know.
1. There is a price to admission. It is to post your roll (daily promise to not use nic) daily. EARLY! Here is your quit group.
topic/11679548/124/and here is how to post roll at KTC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmDgTPJ6HyM2. We never under any circumstance use any form of NRT (Gum, patches, vapes, lozenges, no nothing) This includes but not limited to dip, leaf, plug, cigarettes/cigarillos, and for god sakes please never smoke a stogie! We have guys cave and said but it was only a stogie they don't count right? WRONG!!! It is nic!
3. Don't be scared. Build your network of bad ass quitters. Exchange phone numbers. GASP!!! Phone numbers? Yep. That may be your only lifeline in a cave situation. I know trading numbers with complete strangers seems rather odd but it is truly the way.
We see cavers here. yes it does happen just like drug and alcohol relapse. The guys it does happen to are the guys that don't post roll daily and regularly as in early, they exchanged NO phone numbers, and they didn't talk in the forums with their brothers of quit. They simply posted and ghosted. Meaning maybe a roll post and gone. You need to be active in your quit. OWN IT! Don't let this addiction own you! Fight back! You are worth it!
So lets get to the brass tacks here. What is going to happen? You are going to feel like shit. Utter fucking shit. Remember that feeling and remember it well. Why? So when you decide to cave, you can recall that feeling and think about if it is worth it to go through again or not. We call it the suck. In that suck will be the fog. Things will just not be right, they wont feel right. You will just be off your game. How long does it last? Only time will tell. everyone is different. Craves, they are going to happen. Nothing you can do to stop it. How do we fight it? Glad you asked.
Early in my quit, I LIVED in live chat. it was a life saver. I chewed the hell out of sun flower seeds. I drank the fuck out of water. Exercise works too. In my case, I have a very bad back so most exercise is limited as I can barely walk most days. So live chat it was.
We are all here for you man as long as you are here for us. It is a team effort. Sure we break each group up in to quit groups, but that does not make you any different than any other group new or old. Groups are awesome. They show me where I was once upon a time and where I can be in the future if I stick with it. Go mingle, chat, get to know folks. Don't be shy man jump right in. Use this introduction as your daily blog of quit if you must. that is what a lot of folks do. Use this place like a smorgasboard man. Take what you want and leave the rest for someone else in need.
So come on in and take a drink of the kool aid. It is a new flavor this month. it is called Quit Like A Mother Fucker! It tastes great!
Take care man and jump on roll please. I quit with you EDD (every damn day)!
