Today is day 700. In the grand scheme of things it is just another day in the life of a junkie, but if I do not acknowledge it I am belittling all the hard work my brothers and sister in April 11 and everyone here at KTC have put in getting me here. See, I do not consider this my victory. I consider it OUR victory. Thank you one and all for assisting me along this journey. Without the daily accountability you provide and demand I would never have made it this far. See you tomorrow morning! Jim PS. If you are a FNG (fucking new guy) reading this know that you can do it too. It ain't easy, but other than being a father this is the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life. Get that shit out of your lip and get to quitting!!!!!!!!!!!! |

732 day ago I came to KTC a nervous wreck. I knew I wanted and needed to quit NIC, but was still scared shitless. Coming to the realization that you are going to stop doing something that you had done daily for 30 years is just a scary thought. I don't care how big of a badass you think you are, that is a huge mental hurdle. The veterans of this site showed me the way and here I am NIC FREE 2 years later. I can only begin to explain how much better my life is now. As evident by my avatar, I started running. I am currently training for a 1/2 marathon in February. I always thought the only NIC users that suffered lack of energy were smokers. WRONG! My energy increase without nic was huge. Being NIC free I also started eating better. I am not a vegan or anything, but my overall eating and exercising habits have done a 180. This is by far the best thing I have ever done in my life to better myself. If you are just starting on your road to being NIC free here is my advise to you: 1. POST ROLL EVERY DAY! unless you are dead there is no reason not to. 2. GIVE IT BACK! find a new quitter and push them in the right direction 3. Always remember that you CAN live without tobacco. |

A little reflection: 772 days ago I put the can down. A little over three years before that I put the plug in the jug. Many years before that I put mary jane down and left the booger sugar alone. Over the years I have made many changes in my life, some for the better some not so great. This weekend the wife and I are going to New Orleans to run the Rock & Roll 1/2 marathon. Prior to quitting dip I never would have dreamed of attempting such a feat. We have both been running for two years now and completed a 12 week training program for this race. Prior to quitting dip I would have been content to waste my spare time sitting on the couch with a lip full of Cope. I'm not sure if quitting dip was the smartest thing I have ever done, but as of right now it sure feels like it. When I threw that last can out I opened a door to a part of me that I never knew was there. Did quitting dip change my life? You bet your ass!!!! |

I, too, was an out-of-shape blob compared to where I am now. Not ready to jump on a half yet, but steadily building to a 10k. Ran my first organized races a few weeks ago. I was honored to cross at least one of the 3 finish lines with some KTC brothers. You should plan to make the Critz Tybee Run Fest next year with us. It is an awesome time with lots of great quitters. A few summaries are available and next year's plans will be made in the GA get together section. |

I'm training for my first marathon. Was a 270 pound huffing hot mess when I quit. I ran 20 miles last week. |

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11 I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11 To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12 Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12 Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13 Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15 I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18 Try walkin' your talk or get the fuck out of my way-A Perfect Circle (TalkTalk) | |
