listen to these people yem...if you can still say you "love" tobacco then you have a lot of reading to do...you don't love it...you thought you did...don't confuse love with addiction...there was a girl in college that i was "addicted" too...well i was addicted to the sex...then she made out with one of my best friends in front of me...thats what nicotine is,...it will rock your cock a few times but if you really look back at the times you had after the first few...they were pretty boring and she winds up making out with your boy at a bar right in front of your face. Love will die for you...it won't kill you. There is a big difference
Boy I sure could use a beer right about now!

Look Yem, everyone is trying to help you.... and in the midst of the day 2 suck your too foggy and pissed off to see that right now. They are just trying to get your mindset headed in the right direction, a healthy hatred for the poison that dictated our lives for so many years is a big part of a strong quit.

So, don't get all ass hurt, quitting is hard and we are here to help you.... sometimes with tough love. Anything less is going to lead you back to where you started... a slave to nicotine and big tobacco.

Allright, way to add constructive criticism to my post... On a site designed for addicts to nicotine, you are going to criticize me for speaking my mind about how I love tobacco...  Word of advice....  Most. if not all of us love tobacco, we just choose to stop using it...  

If you want to criticize me, please pm me in the future..  I don't criticize you for being a bitch!!
Yes, bro, I'm going to call you out for addict speak. Surprise... I'm going to do it here. All newbs need to hear this. You have to stop romanticizing what you think nicotine did for you. Hey! That's a great idea... Tell me exactly how nicotine made life awesome to the point that you fell in love with it. Go on... What, exactly, did it make better? How, exactly, did it enrich your life?

You're not in any position to give me a word of advice. Let ME give you some dude... You better get over your "love" affair with the object of your addiction. It wants you dead.

We know what we're doing here. You'd do well to pay attention. We want to see you rock your quit and be successful.
AJ.... How many days have you been quit? 334? Yep your a Bitch! Wish I knew how to quit! I love chew so much that it has made me want to spend time searching out a support group online. I love it so much that I spend hours online and in chat to talk with men who have walked a quitters road, only to proclaim how much I love the "rush" of my addiction. I cannot understand why people are not taking my quit serious???? I said I want to quit.... But I DO love it. This is gonna be Sooooo hard. In the future could you please try to correct me in private? I dont want my feelings hurt in front of these men who actually QLF every day! I know quitting takes balls. Mine will drop some day.

Thanks,
Troll.

Yem
Congrats on making the first step to your freedom. Your intro said you cannot quit without a support system so you've found this site. I've been quit for 12 days now and thats 12 days longer than I would have been without these people. Here's my piece of advice to you - listen to what these guys say. Check the ego at the door. No one is going to offer you support if what you are wanting to do or how you are wanting to think is FUBAR....and most nic addicts thinking is totally FUBAR which keeps us in the cycle of addiction. You're a smart guy but just take it easy and listen to the collective wisdom and follow the program and you'll be quit. We're all with you today if you want to learn and grow.

You don't love tobacco you hate pain...you hate when every cell in your body is screaming for nicotine...its called being an addict. I find it hard to believe that after 20 years you still get a rush. YOU are a pharmacist well at least you say you are and you don't know about addiction?....would have to side with Diesel you wreak of a troll.

Well this is our house we don't take kindly to folks stopping in and not listening to what we have to say. From the looks of it you have had vets try to reach you but you got it figured out.

Well I see you showed for roll. That action is the single most important action we do here. you give your word to yourself that you will not use and it lets us know you are in this for today only. If you want support this site is loaded with support take it. Its ok in the beginning to take more than you give, after you are here a few pay it forward and back that is how we do it here!!!

You need help PM me I am in July 2013.

Just tried to convo with you in chat and it took quite a while for you to answer 2 simple questions. Quite frankly it was childlike behavior on your part. I surely hope this is not some kind of game you are trying to play. We do not coddle balls here. It is not critisism you see. It is accountability. It is bullshitters of the best kind calling it what it is. AJ is dead on. You need to change your vocabulary and attitude to succeed. Quitting is not easy. The swings can and will be rough. But where is your fortitude for solidarity among us? That is what we are looking for. That is what we want to see. Then and only then can we be of any help to you.
I was in chat with him for hours. I tried very hard to converse and relay the same message to him. I was calm and nice to start and then blew up. But his quit needle was still stiuck on E, and he barely communicated.

I believe him to be a troll.

I hope he proves me wrong. I do love crow now and again...
I see you are taking Diesels challenge. Nice to see. Re-read Applejacks advice below, he speaks a lot of wisdom, we all romanticized nicotine at one time, but those that became successful realized that it is all a lie.

People are here to help, but we will not coddle. If you are serious about your quit, read through the intros, and you will understand why.
I have been Quit for several years and I still wake up every morning and quit one day at a time.  I figure if it worked yesterday, it will work today.  Never ever get complacent in your quit!

Since you are still being a bitch why don't you go here until your quit becomes real. I know that many here may disagree with my resolution to your "quit". but fuck them. and Fuck you troll, I don't take well to impostors.

This is my, Chris Baker's, own perspective. I would welcome any caver to come back and quit with honest words, admitting his/her wrongdoings, and quit now. They harm me none. They are just seeking the truth and the quit we all have. But Trolls, who are just here to stir the pot and take from us all need to be gone. Yem was in chat tonight sucking the life out of us all, while demanding help. Not asking, demanding.

I have said my peace and will not comment again. However, If I am wrong, I will raise my hand and admit being so.

I love the taste, the rush, and the feeling that I get from tobacco...

So... You love that you're poorer because of it? You love that it stole your health and time from your family? You love that it made you stink... Literally? You love that IT has been a priority in your life like nothing else? I could go on...

This mindset needs to change or you will fail. Miserably.

Yemtig here, 40 yo male, married with 2 kids (5 and 9) and live/work in Albuquerque, NM as a pharmacist... I have been a nicotine addict for as long as I remember... I love the taste, the rush, and the feeling that I get from tobacco... I have tried dip, then cigarettes and back again to give either my mouth or my lungs the break they needed... I have used tobacco for about 20 years.. I want to quit... I can't quit without any support system and that needs to be others that can help me walk the good path.. I am open to texts and phone calls... Feel free to pm me and ask or I will do the same... I just want to quit like the rest of you and I want to have someone have my back, that's all... I dont know what else to say other than I am quit today, and will look towards tomorrow when I wake up... You guys in chat have drummed that into my brain... -Michael
Yemtig, It was good talking to you in chat earlier today. Congrats on the decision to quit, it will be a difficult journey but a well worth it one. If you need anything feel free to give me a text/call/chat/pm. Once again congrats and welcome to KTC. Mike aka MCO
