Do you want help?

Are you going to keep your word?

Are you going to be a winner?

If you can dig down in your guts and truly answer yes to those three questions then I will be in your corner.

I'm nothing special bro, but I know you want to win, I can feel it. Why have I been on your ass since the multiple fuk ups?

Cuz I freaking know you are a winner.... you just need to believe what I see.

Dig down, you got this bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justin,

IÂ’m glad youÂ’ve taken the plunge and are doing the best thing for you and your family that youÂ’ve ever done. YouÂ’ve had some of the best and most hardcore quitters on ktc reach out to you. I hope you get their numbers and reach out to them. They will do anything to help you win. Quitting alone is impossible, at least for me, and it sounds like for you also. I failed myself every day for 25 years, almost daily throwing out a partially empty tin only to buy another the next day and restarting the cycle.

Why is this place different? Because we all know the games and lies we all played. We know how strong this addiction is. But we also start from a place of honor. Without the integrity of our word, here we have nothing. I pray daily that I quit soon enough. I’ve lost way too many friends and family to cancer. Next month my father in law is having about 10” of his esophagus removed and his stomach yanked up to patch the gap... courtesy of cancer. In a couple of weeks Todd’s wife and son are flying down for the weekend to escape North Dakota on the second anniversary of his passing. Tobacco can fuck off for what it has done to these people, to our people, to us!

One day at a time the suck will suck less. This isnÂ’t what life is like without tobacco. IÂ’m happier, healthier, and have a freedom that I never imagined. Keep doing this one day at a time. Get numbers of guys that are reaching out, and youÂ’ll enjoy this freedom soon also. YouÂ’ve already started!

"I want to reach out to a new quitter on day 1 that is going through that terrible feeling, scared and afraid, reach out my hand and pull him up from the depths."


By calling him a time waster and saying he has no balls on day fucking 1. Great words of encouragement. All I am saying is when someone caves on day 1 a couple of times it would seem that words of encouragement would go a lot further that insults. At least let the dude figure out how the site works before you kick him in the balls and tell him he is wasting everybody's time and make him feel like he needs to just get the fuck out of here and move on.
"Let him figure out how the site works before you kick him in the balls."

I'm pretty sure the site doesn't work like this:

I post a day 1 and PROMISE not to use nicotine that day.

Oh wait I'm a pussy and broke my promise and put cancer in my mouth.

Wait... wait... wait... Give me a pat on the ass and let me try it again....

I post another day 1 and PROMISE (for real this time) not to use nicotine today...

Oh wait I'm a pussy and broke my promise and put cancer in my mouth.

Where is my participation ribbon and second pat on the ass?

Is that how you think the site works??

Now my word is shit and I know it, but I'm a special butterfly and I'm going to say Fuk you to Leo because he is holding me accountable....

Then I'm going to quote and bitch about a line from Skol's intro because I'm butt hurt he called out my weak ass....

I do like helping new quitters, quitters that are winners, quitters that keep their promise, not liars and cavers....

I hope this pisses you off, I hope it fuels you to NEVER put that shit in your mouth ever again, if me typing this gives you the fuel and fortitude to stay quit...

Well then Mission Accomplished, I guarantee one day your attitude will be a whole lot different than it is today....

Be a winner and make your word good, as I said, right now it's shit.
Dude, I created and id and logged in and followed directions to post roll call. That's it. I spent like 2 minutes on the site before posting. Yeah, I hadn't figured it out. I missed the part that if you caved you get verbally abused and I reacted. That's it. I already PM'd LEO and apologized to him days ago. Were cool.

Dude, are you for real, or are you just here to waste our time.
You've been here two days, and caved twice.
What the fuck are you doing?
Leave me alone. I can't hear you. You are too green to be giving advice in a threatening manner. You are a greenhorn at this like me.
DUDE.........

Take a minute and read each of your journal entries above, you have tried this a thousand times on your own and every fucking time you failed.

So a badass (Leo) quitter is doing exactly what this site is about (hold your bitch ass accountable), and you act like a fucking special snowflake.

I mean it, read everyone of your entries above.

You need help, you need an attitude change, and you need to keep your goddamn promise.

I was raised by some of the finest men to ever grace this earth and they taught me that I ain't shit if I don't have my word.

Your word now means shit, earn it back or GTFO.

Yeah we're all noobs in your mind..... but I'm 193 days fucking ahead of you and you ain't gonna catch me.

Sack the fuck up.
Be humble... grow everyday.

It has to be now. I always say I will start tomorrow or after this next weekend. Been say that for over 2 years. I say just one more can, one last chew. I will quit next week for sure. It has never worked. I have this relationship with that can. It's like I am saying goodbye to a loved one forever and for some reason I haven't been able to say good bye. It's never the right time to stop. There is no right time and never will be. One more day or one more week never works for me. I have nowhere left to hide. I have no more options. I am backed into a corner. I need to walk through it, straight through it. Time is right now, no more excuses. No more delays. They don't work. They won't work. It just doesn't work. It has failed me every time. It has to be different this time or it won't work. I will continue on the same path day after day if it doesn't change.

"There's one correction to make from your intro - you never quit tobacco. You stopped using for an es=xtended period of time. We QUIT once, and never use again."

Not sure I understand that one because if that's true you won't know if you have really quit until your dead. So are you stopped right now? Do you tell people you have stopped chewing or quit? I can tell you from experience that nobody here knows if the will ever chew again. I don't care if you have 1 week without chew or 25 years without it. I thought I never would never dip again after 10 years of not chewing. You get complacent and let your guard down AND you only have to do it once. That's what happens. AND nobody here knows when or IF they will become complacent.

Thank You for the welcome
IÂ’m confident in my quit because IÂ’m confident in the system here at KTC. I made a promise this morning, and nicotine is off the table the rest of today. IÂ’ll make the same promise tomorrow, and every tomorrow after til this site is offline.

Stories like yours - a ten year stoppage - strengthen my resolve to remain quit.

Never again for any reason.
