Damn. Just plain....damn.
I'd like to hear more about the specifics of the "how".
I'd like to hear more about the why. Something you hadn't bought into? Were there some bridges you hadn't burned?
Posting every damn day is gonna keep you quit, but how are you gonna do THAT?
And I repeat....damn. PS - the best place for this thread is probably Jun12 and Oct13.
*Quit today. Full stop. No qualifiers. Tomorrow?... IDK, IDC.

My Humble Return to KTC:

About a year ago I was joining the hall - had hit 100 days. Felt great and felt great about my quit. I was a part of a great group of Quitters - June 2011. Made some damn good friends and had some strong support. Well, needless to say I think it was around the 120's that I decided to quit posting. Felt like I was strong in my quit and was DONE!!! Done for life!!! Well, that was my mistake. I lost the concept of quit only for the day - don't worry about the future, just quit for the day. This concept along with the great support from others is what helped me quit for a long time - one day at a time. Well, when I quit posting roll I lost that concept and eventually ended up losing the fight.

I am an addict. I am addicted to Nicotine. I am addicted to Copenhagen Longcut. And I cannot have just one!!!

I know I need to give my explanation or excuse for caving and what I will do differently this time. My lame ass excuse was that I am always around it every day at work. I wasn't posting anymore and did not have the accountability from the site to keep me strong. So in the end, I eventually gave way to that Fuck-It attitude "one isn't going to kill me." Well it hasn't killed me yet...

I've kept in touch with MThomas over the past year off and on. Through it all he has been one of the best quitters I know and one of the best supporters of a quitter. Although we have only met once in person, I consider him a great friend because he never gave up on me and has done nothing but look out for me and what is in my best interests. There are several times he could have given up on me but he hasn't and I truly respect him for that. He has just recently pushed me back to the site. He is right, it is what I need and the support and help that I need.

What will I do different this time. I think my answer is obvious - I need to post roll every day. The site works - the support works - the people here are damn good quitters and know what it takes to become a damn good quitter. I was pretty close to being a damn good quitter but I let it go when I quit posting. It didn't happen right away - I was strong for a long time - but eventually nicotine won. It is a daily part of my life - I will have to face it every day - but last summer I was strong because I was posting roll - nicotine won out when I abandoned my Platoon.

Again, I humbly return to KTC. I want to be quit, I fucking hate tobacco, and I need the help. I am an addict and I cannot do this on my own. Those of you who were here for me last year and are still here - when you read this - I thank you for all that you did for me last year. I also ask you for your help - again. To anyone new over the past year - all I can say is post roll every day. Listen to the vets because they know what is going on. This site works - but you have to make it work. You have to be present and you have to live by the rules. This is quitting a drug and it isn't easy - but the site will help make it easier.

MThomas and Grizzly25 - not sure who else is still here - well, I am back and serious and ready to kick some serious ass!!! Hoping there are still some of the guys still around. I need your support and help.

I am starting fresh in October - new group and a new start for me.

Day 95 - A quick recap of the past month.  I had 4 weeks of being on the road for work - 4 weeks I was really worried about but decided long ago to quit one day at a time and to not worry about the future.  That thought process definitely paid off and I made it Cope free through 4 weeks of travel and hotels.  I stated earlier before I left out that Cope was always my travel companion - kept me company on the road.  Well boys and girls, I made it and have conquered another hurdle in my quit.

It wasn't easy and I did it with the help and some great timing from some amazing quit brothers.  Thank you to all for the support and much needed help at times.  The worst day was day 76, a Thursday, and I got bailed out with some divine intervention.  A noon mass, a call from Mthomas, and some texts from a gang of quitters all came at the perfect time to keep me from caving.  I also had phone calls along the way from my kids - ages 7, 5, 5, and 2.  Mostly from the 7 year old - she left me a ton of messages saying how proud she was of me for making it the number of days I had.  Which, fully knowing that my 7 year old wasn't keeping track of my days, I know my wife was behind the calls feeding her with the information needed - thank you to my wife for your awesome support and help.  She had given up on me ever beating this addiction but has never given up supporting me in my effort to quit.

Pretty boring post but all in all, a big Thank You to all for supporting me through the past 4 tough ass weeks of quitting on the road.  I'm glad it is over.  I also must mention that I spent Sunday, all day on the lake, fishing, water skiing, tubing, grilling, pounding beers, and never once craved a chew.  That also felt amazing.

5 more days and I have no clue about a HOF Speech.  I may have to hire Mthomas to write it for me.  Glad to be quit with all you fuckers.  Keep it up.
NICELY DONE on Sunday!!! This has not been easy. I Quit with you tonight!
Ups and downs are all part of this brother!

Keep your focus and be proud!
'clap' 'clap' 'clap'

You are a quitter that inspires my friend. You have always blazed the trail and let me know what to expect in the coming days. It is hard to regret having this addiction. Without it, there is no way we could have crossed paths.

Your faith in God and family makes you a true man. I am honored to be quit with you.

Day 80

Fuck that sounds good - 80 days quit - but still humbly quitting every day cause I know that I have many tough tests in front of me.

Day 76 - Has now been bumped up to the #1 toughest day in my quit.  Was frustrated with life in general - not sure why but I think I got a glimpse of what someone with depression goes through.  Everything pissed me off, I was mad at the world, frustrated with life, and quitting chew was just piling on.  I by no means felt like a cave would make life better - but I did feel like it would be just one thing to check off the list of what was making me miserable.  I have no idea why that day I was such a puss but it was rough. 

So, I texted some quit brothers with my rant.  Was driving (right at noon) saw a Catholic church - went in just to get a few minutes to clear my head or at least try, ended up sitting through the noon Spanish mass - (no I don't speak Spanish) but mass helped and I was able to offer some of it up.  Came out of the church still a little frustrated.  I noticed I had a new voice message and it was Mthomas so I called his ass back.  Glad I did, it was another big help in saving my Quit.

The rest of the day I managed through better than the first half but I was still a major puss for most of it.  The great news is I woke up Friday and felt great and had a great day.  I did not cave when probably at least 50 times that day I was close to going to the store.  I did not cave and Friday was great!!!  I know that if I would have caved - Friday would have sucked balls.  Friday would have been the worst day in my quit and the worst day of all.

Thank you to God for the timing of me driving by the church and for the strength to endure.  To Mthomas for the perfect timing of the phone call.  To the quit brothers who texted throughout the day and night, and to KTC for holding me accountable to myself and to all the quit brothers.  I am still quit today because I am a June quit brother and a member of KTC.  I wear my new long sleeve KTC Black shirt with pride today!!!

Truly I QUIT LIKE FUCK
Suck-it

Great post, I love reading your journey because it always gets me prepared and I get a feel for what I can expect as days go by.

There is one issue that I have. I would have PM'd you but I think it is valuable for others to read this too.

If you cave....You're a pussy. If you stay true to your promise and remain quit, you are a fighter!!!

No where in your 80 days did I see a pussy! Not once? When you look in the mirror, it is time to see what I see. You are a true fighter that can take a punch and keep standing.

Addiction = temptations, triggers and cravings

Pussy = Caving and surrendering to your addiction

I don't think you are any more or any less than human. You will crave but as a man, you prayed, got help and when your battle was one on one...you fought and inspired.

That is not the definition of pussy. You are the example. You are having many victories. You are humble in your quit and I admire that as well but humility is not a synonym for pussy. QUITE THE OPPOSITE!

Thanks for being a Humble, Brave, Confident, Fighter! You inspire.

In short, please only call yourself a pussy if you cave. If you ever cave, I'll help and call you a candy ass pussy too. Until then, you're a bad ass quitter in my book and I am honored to be quit with you.



'Sing and Drink' I am so happy to celebrate and congratulate 80 days!!!!
It is always great to read inspiring stories of bad ass quit!

Keep on keeping on!

Punching nic's mouth one day at a time!

Day 67 - Day 2 on the road.

First and most importantly - thank you to all for your posts and support. There is no way in hell that I could cave because that would mean that all of you who have supported me and my quit in one way or another, I would be cheating every one of you and that is not me, that is not who I am, and again, I thank you all for helping me continue to quit each and every day.

Today, I had dinner with another coach and following dinner he threw in a Skoal Wintergreen. I was good because I'm a Copenhagen Longcut or snuff guy (well I was). Wrong - my mouth started watering and I sat there thinking about how good that dip looked. I had some serious craves - a dip after dinner with a few beers, on the road away from family, was probably my favorite dip.

Driving back to the hotel after dinner talking to my wife, I told her about the situation. She asked how I was doing. I was great, I did not chew, the crave came and went pretty fast, and overall, I defeated the moment and felt really good about my quit. I couldn't wait to get on here and write about it. I talked a little more about it with my wife and basically bragged to her about the site, the support, and the friendships beginning to form even though I have never met anyone of you face to face. Of course I thanked her for her support first, didn't want her getting jealous, but, I do believe that one day at a time I will defeat the nic bitch with the knowledge and support provided here on KTC.

Thank you to all - I am confident that no matter what the crave, no matter how good it may look, I can defeat and I will defeat the bitch and everything she can throw at me. Again, a huge thanks for the support.

Humbly I Quit Like Fuck one day at a time.
That is a great Quit event! Stand tall. I Quit with you tonight.

Today, I had dinner with another coach and following dinner he threw in a Skoal Wintergreen. I was good because I'm a Copenhagen Longcut or snuff guy (well I was). Wrong - my mouth started watering and I sat there thinking about how good that dip looked. I had some serious craves - a dip after dinner with a few beers, on the road away from family, was probably my favorite dip.

Driving back to the hotel after dinner talking to my wife, I told her about the situation. She asked how I was doing. I was great, I did not chew, the crave came and went pretty fast, and overall, I defeated the moment and felt really good about my quit. I couldn't wait to get on here and write about it. I talked a little more about it with my wife and basically bragged to her about the site, the support, and the friendships beginning to form even though I have never met anyone of you face to face. Of course I thanked her for her support first, didn't want her getting jealous, but, I do believe that one day at a time I will defeat the nic bitch with the knowledge and support provided here on KTC.

Thank you to all - I am confident that no matter what the crave, no matter how good it may look, I can defeat and I will defeat the bitch and everything she can throw at me. Again, a huge thanks for the support.

Humbly I Quit Like Fuck one day at a time.

That was the old you, bro. Make sure to have new routines and alternatives lined up. Reward yourself, too, maybe you can get creative. Since you're traveling, maybe you can shop and look for some cool surprises for your family. Or set some exercise goals in each hotel/city/etc. Research ahead and look for the badass parks in town, or the coolest eateries. Get some photography going or a new hobby, hell. NEW YOU.

You will do this, and come out stronger. We are all expecting you to succeed and make our quits stronger, too.

Stay strong.

Day 66

The challenge is here!!!  I have been quitting by the KTC philosophy of "Quit Today and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow."  No question this works and I have really done a great job embracing it and not worrying about the future or quitting forever.  BUT, in the back of my mind I new this time was coming and would be the toughest challenge in my quit thus far.

The next 4 weeks work has me on the road, home on the weekends, but Monday through Friday, hotels, lots of drive time, flights, etc. and Copenshit has always been my travel companion.  Late nights watching TV laying in bed, Copenshit has always kept me up and has always kept me company. 

I am looking forward to new sleeping hours, earlier wake-ups, and more productive days, I EMBRACE the CHALLENGE...but I also am fully prepared for the challenges the nic bitch will throw at me.  I have tons of numbers from some great quitters.  I know you all have my back.  I will fight my ass off and I will exhaust all avenues - I WILL NOT CAVE!!!  CAVING IS NOT AN OPTION.

I am at war as Mthomas has written about - this is a war and I have the best fucking army behind me.  Be prepared for plenty of texts, warn your wives or significant others that a late night text may wake you all up - it's just me fighting off the bitch. 

On a side note, I have a phenominal family.  My wife and 4 kids baked me a cake, had my favorite dinner ready, and surprised me when I got home...the cake read "Happy 63 Quit Day."  That's right - day 63.  I looked at my wife and said - it is just day 63, no significance in day 63.  She corrected me and said it is significant because I have not chewed in 63 days - every day quit is significant.  What a wife and what a family.  Reminder next time I read this, when I look back, to thank them for their support. 

Alright, time to grind it out and defeat this next challenge.  I QUIT LIKE FUCK!!!
I will quit with you everyday of the week, carry on!
