My introduction

[worktowin]

You've had some bad ass quitters reach out man... The guys that replied are hard core. But you know what? On day 1 they felt just like you do right now. Scared. Tired. Weak. Hopeless.

It gets better. The freedom that you are taking back feels indescribable. My wife and I went to a really nice restaurant for dinner last night. A couple that could have been us walked in and sat at the table next to us. Dressed really well, but I saw the little ring in his front pocket. 45 minutes in, he told his wife he had a call to make. Then he went outside. Yeah, right....

No more making excuses, lying, hiding in the shower, late night gas station runs, worrying about anyone finding a hidden can. And no more worrying if this next trip to the dentist will be "the one." We all start the same way, but one day at a time, by posting roll and being a man of integrity, you will succeed.

If I can help let me know - my number will be in your inbox.

Thanks a lot guys. I feel really weak going into this. Seeing how committed you are and reading your stories gives me hope to overcome this. Thanks again.

You posted roll! Believe me when I tell you that is a huge step. Do that every morning when you wake up and you will be amazed how the days will add up. The best advice I can give you is to remember you are an addict at all times. Nicotine is more addictive than cocaine. Just like any other junkie, falling off the wagon can lead to years or decades of more abuse and possibly your death. Thinking you can have a dip and then start quitting again is addict talk. On e you are in, stay in, take back control of your life. Good luck.

Man, that handle really hits home. "Other life"...find me one person on this website that didn't feel like we were leading double lives, ninja dipping in one life and pretending we had everything under control in the other.

Solid intro and glad to see you got your name on roll call. That's your promise and if this quit means as much to you as you imply then keep posting roll and keep that promise. It's time to realize you never really ever "quit" in the past. You merely stopped. Now is your chance to prove to yourself that you CAN quit and you WILL quit. Post roll and keep that promise.

Good stuff dude! You have found a life boat here at KTC. It will change your life! Take alook at the Welcome Center thread. Read through those posts. They are short and will explain a little about how KTC will work for you.

I dipped for 23 years, and I'm quit for 144 days now. Was it hard getting started? Oh yes, but I had some motivation outside of just wanting to quit. Honestly though, this site, and my quit group made the whole beginning part much more manageable. I'm never going to be completely cured of this addiction, but I know that there is support here, and they have my back and I have there's. So, you want success? Follow this:

1. Post roll every day without fail. Do it first thing, and do it every day. It is the most important part of KTC, and you must use this tool. You have to ask yourself is coming here everyday for like 2 minutes going to be something you can commit too? I can tell you that there are those that stopped posting roll after having quit for 500 days, and they are right back to the poison. Can you commit to such a simple task? Don't have internet access? See rule 2

2. Get some digits of quitters in your group. I suggest the person above and the person below you in your quit group spreadsheet. Just pm them. It's very important. Out drinking a few with some buds watching the game, and you decide you'd like to sling just one in, but you know you shouldn't. Call or text them. They will talk you down, and you will do the same for them.

You said you have quit several times only to cave. That can happen here. There are dudes who have quit for 500 days, and then caved. Why? Because they stopped following the program. If you don't think you can spare 2 minutes a day to post roll, and then get some digits of other quit brothers, then I advise you to not waste your time here, but if you want to quit, and you can follow the program you will be quit for the rest of you life. Good luck my friend, and I look forward to seeing you in the HOF!!

Hi all, first time I have ever reached out for help with quitting tobacco products. It started out with smoking while drinking when I was 18. Then, just on the weekends, then, if I felt stressed. My wife, (girlfriend at the time), said that she would not be with a smoker, so I quit. To replace that, I started chewing. I have quit multiple times and some extended periods of time. I am almost 34 years old now. I have four beautiful daughters,a great wife, and a blessed life. My nicotine addiction is my other life that I share with no one. I feel horrible that I keep this from my wife. Sad to say, but that's not why I want to quit. If I was going to quit for her, I would have done it a long time ago. I've done this long enough. It's not fun. I can't quit anytime I want to. I am an addict and I need help to do this.
Thanks
