Just a few days away from 400 and more reflecting today due to the posts from others has helped me recall a few things from my quit that through KTC that have helped me stay here, made me consider leaving here and ultimately helped me drive my own quit daily...still to this day.
Early in my quit I had some asshole in chat, not a comedic or funny asshole but yeah a real asshole whom I wanted to plant in the ground. In the mix of my wanting to hand that person their ass, out of no where comes a veteran quitter, who reminds me that some people are just stupid. Thanks Biscut
I later got asked out for my first ever quitter meetup. Sounds gay but I was nervous at first, meeting some dude through a website, wondering if I was going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a note for me to call 9-1-1 later. Turns out the Jason didn't need my kidneys but was a really cool guy. I was two days away from hitting my HOF and he hands me his coin; that he had carried in his pocket for every day since his HOF (no pressure). Thanks Jason
Around the same time I had a fellow quitter that mistook emotional support for my saying "yeah sure dude I will send you money", don't get me wrong help when and how you can but damn...did I mention that he later caved as well? Not mentioning this one's name but most will remember "Pinched Savings and Loan"
Another quitter whom was seeming quiet and reserved reached out to me one day to ask if I was "OK". He asked not because I was writing about raging or having issues but because I was posting the minimum ">Pinched< - 395", not having more to say than that. At first I was caught off guard (note probably because I was a volatile asshole), but I responded with yeah thank you I am. As it turns out he selectively does that when he thinks a quitter needs either reached or a reach around...Thanks Derek.
I later met another quitter from Denver, awesome dude, easy to talk to and has now become the KTC whore. He helped me meet other Denver quitters and since we try to meet as often as we can. Thanks Brett, Tony & Rand
Another couple of quitters latched on to me immediately and have been a couple of my soothsayers when I need help. Thanks NOLAQ & SFGE - Semper Fi
Chat in another area of the site that has helped me meet many other great quitters that are awesome supporters. Depending on your mood there is always someone in there to help lighten the room. Thanks KDip, Tarpon, Frannie, 224, Suds, iziPhilister, P23, KKLIINC, MN_Ben, Bronc, Marcus Arielius, Derek, and many other countless quitters I have chatted with or laughed at while in chat.
There are also those few people that just seem to get it at the right times or can also call you on bullshit that make it again worth being here. Thanks Derk, Duathman, RacetrackCowgirl, B-Lo-Matt, CBird, Worktowin, Traumagnet, Diesel, Syndrome, WMCatty, Scowick, Bean, Eric from Pitt, AppleJack, DiplessInJax, Buck, SamCat, Mule, Corn, Dougie, gmann, and even more that I know I am missing.
Then the status quo of your original quit group the OG Duck Fips that were there with you daily as you were oblivious to the big picture of all KTC being one group. Without these guys there is no way in hell I would be here today; no ifs, ands or buts about it: JLud, Dagranger, Minny, J-Rod, Boomer Sooner, Paradigm Dawg, Fightin Ignorance, Felcie, NSG, Wozman, Brandt, Callaway...just wish they were all still here. None the less my quit is safe as I continue to post roll.
Then there was that month of being a conductor, holy shit Jeff and I had our hands full but we did it. Those of you from November that are still here it is great to see all of you hitting one year and sticking it out: BearHawk, Midwest, Construction 24-7, Mike form AB
Then there are always those people that you know are there to support you or better yet put a foot in your ass if you decide to fade away, beyond all of the above people are: Rdad, DocChewFree, GrizzlyhasClaws, jPine, klark and hopefully every single person here who has ben barked at or jumped on for caving or just plain doing something stupid. I myself speak my mind and quite freely, I do that not to be an asshole but because it is my personality. Plus it goes back to my favorite quote "I am weaving a web of accountability so big that if I cave there will be a line of people ready to hand me my ass".
I stick around here because it works, and yeah there is always seemingly drama about different shit on different days but in my honest opinion anytime that you throw Cessation, Addiction, Political Stances, Religious Beliefs, an Adult Chatroom, Raging Hormones and a handful of Crazies into a blender you are always going to wind up with some kind of tumultuous times and perhaps even a bad taste from time to time. Why I am coming back tomorrow though is because today alone at least one quitter did something that made me smile. Either they helped out a brother or sister, gave great advice, told me a funny joke or the avatar is worth looking at again. At this point the business agenda or perceptions of an agenda behind the scenes at KTC so be it. I help run a business in the real world and I "get it", so until someone asks me to pay a cover charge or tells me I have to pay a fee per post (retroactively even) I will be back.
To all the Mods & Admins, keep on doing what your doing. If you can make a $1,000,000.00 dollars or $1.00 off of things then I say have at it, because KTC has helped me quit. PERIOD!
>Pinched<
Don't think that the like button is enough. well stated on your reflection my friend.
My friend, and I'm happy to call you my friend, thanks for what you've done for my quit. I'm glad you stuck around for your almost 400 days. I'm thankful for the jogging chick avatar and now the easter egg avatar. I'm thankful that I've got to watch you help quitter after quitter get signed up on the site from the time they bumbled into the chat room. I'm grateful that you've taken the time to post your thoughts and feelings on various pages throughout the site. You have never been a guy that has taken and left the rest. No, you received a gift with honor and humility and added to the collective pool so others could receive this gift of quit too. For you, I give you the Poon Saloon Salute - BAM! Right in the ass!
What a great read. Pinched, you da man. I can't tell you how much I appreciated you in my quit. You were always there.. Good stuff brother! ... IR quit with you all day long!

Early in my quit I had some asshole in chat, not a comedic or funny asshole but yeah a real asshole whom I wanted to plant in the ground. In the mix of my wanting to hand that person their ass, out of no where comes a veteran quitter, who reminds me that some people are just stupid. Thanks Biscut
I later got asked out for my first ever quitter meetup. Sounds gay but I was nervous at first, meeting some dude through a website, wondering if I was going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a note for me to call 9-1-1 later. Turns out the Jason didn't need my kidneys but was a really cool guy. I was two days away from hitting my HOF and he hands me his coin; that he had carried in his pocket for every day since his HOF (no pressure). Thanks Jason
Around the same time I had a fellow quitter that mistook emotional support for my saying "yeah sure dude I will send you money", don't get me wrong help when and how you can but damn...did I mention that he later caved as well? Not mentioning this one's name but most will remember "Pinched Savings and Loan"
Another quitter whom was seeming quiet and reserved reached out to me one day to ask if I was "OK". He asked not because I was writing about raging or having issues but because I was posting the minimum ">Pinched< - 395", not having more to say than that. At first I was caught off guard (note probably because I was a volatile asshole), but I responded with yeah thank you I am. As it turns out he selectively does that when he thinks a quitter needs either reached or a reach around...Thanks Derek.
I later met another quitter from Denver, awesome dude, easy to talk to and has now become the KTC whore. He helped me meet other Denver quitters and since we try to meet as often as we can. Thanks Brett, Tony & Rand
Another couple of quitters latched on to me immediately and have been a couple of my soothsayers when I need help. Thanks NOLAQ & SFGE - Semper Fi
Chat in another area of the site that has helped me meet many other great quitters that are awesome supporters. Depending on your mood there is always someone in there to help lighten the room. Thanks KDip, Tarpon, Frannie, 224, Suds, iziPhilister, P23, KKLIINC, MN_Ben, Bronc, Marcus Arielius, Derek, and many other countless quitters I have chatted with or laughed at while in chat.
There are also those few people that just seem to get it at the right times or can also call you on bullshit that make it again worth being here. Thanks Derk, Duathman, RacetrackCowgirl, B-Lo-Matt, CBird, Worktowin, Traumagnet, Diesel, Syndrome, WMCatty, Scowick, Bean, Eric from Pitt, AppleJack, DiplessInJax, Buck, SamCat, Mule, Corn, Dougie, gmann, and even more that I know I am missing.
Then the status quo of your original quit group the OG Duck Fips that were there with you daily as you were oblivious to the big picture of all KTC being one group. Without these guys there is no way in hell I would be here today; no ifs, ands or buts about it: JLud, Dagranger, Minny, J-Rod, Boomer Sooner, Paradigm Dawg, Fightin Ignorance, Felcie, NSG, Wozman, Brandt, Callaway...just wish they were all still here. None the less my quit is safe as I continue to post roll.
Then there was that month of being a conductor, holy shit Jeff and I had our hands full but we did it. Those of you from November that are still here it is great to see all of you hitting one year and sticking it out: BearHawk, Midwest, Construction 24-7, Mike form AB
Then there are always those people that you know are there to support you or better yet put a foot in your ass if you decide to fade away, beyond all of the above people are: Rdad, DocChewFree, GrizzlyhasClaws, jPine, klark and hopefully every single person here who has ben barked at or jumped on for caving or just plain doing something stupid. I myself speak my mind and quite freely, I do that not to be an asshole but because it is my personality. Plus it goes back to my favorite quote "I am weaving a web of accountability so big that if I cave there will be a line of people ready to hand me my ass".
I stick around here because it works, and yeah there is always seemingly drama about different shit on different days but in my honest opinion anytime that you throw Cessation, Addiction, Political Stances, Religious Beliefs, an Adult Chatroom, Raging Hormones and a handful of Crazies into a blender you are always going to wind up with some kind of tumultuous times and perhaps even a bad taste from time to time. Why I am coming back tomorrow though is because today alone at least one quitter did something that made me smile. Either they helped out a brother or sister, gave great advice, told me a funny joke or the avatar is worth looking at again. At this point the business agenda or perceptions of an agenda behind the scenes at KTC so be it. I help run a business in the real world and I "get it", so until someone asks me to pay a cover charge or tells me I have to pay a fee per post (retroactively even) I will be back.
To all the Mods & Admins, keep on doing what your doing. If you can make a $1,000,000.00 dollars or $1.00 off of things then I say have at it, because KTC has helped me quit. PERIOD!

My friend, and I'm happy to call you my friend, thanks for what you've done for my quit. I'm glad you stuck around for your almost 400 days. I'm thankful for the jogging chick avatar and now the easter egg avatar. I'm thankful that I've got to watch you help quitter after quitter get signed up on the site from the time they bumbled into the chat room. I'm grateful that you've taken the time to post your thoughts and feelings on various pages throughout the site. You have never been a guy that has taken and left the rest. No, you received a gift with honor and humility and added to the collective pool so others could receive this gift of quit too. For you, I give you the Poon Saloon Salute - BAM! Right in the ass!
What a great read. Pinched, you da man. I can't tell you how much I appreciated you in my quit. You were always there..
Good stuff brother! ... IR quit with you all day long!
Great to read stuff like this from a relative 'new guy'
Corey. For a guy who has posted on this site a million times. That is my favorite of those posts. I will keep quitting with you today.
Wow. Just wow. Great post. You are a philosopher warrior P. An old soul. Always good stuff coming from you brother. I am QLF with you EDD.

I could quit all by myself if I was stranded on an island without any nicotine...
Quitting the KTC way: Learn it, Live it; LOVE it!
"The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me." srans

Just a few days away from 400 and more reflecting today due to the posts from others has helped me recall a few things from my quit that through KTC that have helped me stay here, made me consider leaving here and ultimately helped me drive my own quit daily...still to this day.
Early in my quit I had some asshole in chat, not a comedic or funny asshole but yeah a real asshole whom I wanted to plant in the ground. In the mix of my wanting to hand that person their ass, out of no where comes a veteran quitter, who reminds me that some people are just stupid. Thanks Biscut
I later got asked out for my first ever quitter meetup. Sounds gay but I was nervous at first, meeting some dude through a website, wondering if I was going to wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a note for me to call 9-1-1 later. Turns out the Jason didn't need my kidneys but was a really cool guy. I was two days away from hitting my HOF and he hands me his coin; that he had carried in his pocket for every day since his HOF (no pressure). Thanks Jason
Around the same time I had a fellow quitter that mistook emotional support for my saying "yeah sure dude I will send you money", don't get me wrong help when and how you can but damn...did I mention that he later caved as well? Not mentioning this one's name but most will remember "Pinched Savings and Loan"
Another quitter whom was seeming quiet and reserved reached out to me one day to ask if I was "OK". He asked not because I was writing about raging or having issues but because I was posting the minimum ">Pinched< - 395", not having more to say than that. At first I was caught off guard (note probably because I was a volatile asshole), but I responded with yeah thank you I am. As it turns out he selectively does that when he thinks a quitter needs either reached or a reach around...Thanks Derek.
I later met another quitter from Denver, awesome dude, easy to talk to and has now become the KTC whore. He helped me meet other Denver quitters and since we try to meet as often as we can. Thanks Brett, Tony & Rand
Another couple of quitters latched on to me immediately and have been a couple of my soothsayers when I need help. Thanks NOLAQ & SFGE - Semper Fi
Chat in another area of the site that has helped me meet many other great quitters that are awesome supporters. Depending on your mood there is always someone in there to help lighten the room. Thanks KDip, Tarpon, Frannie, 224, Suds, iziPhilister, P23, KKLIINC, MN_Ben, Bronc, Marcus Arielius, Derek, and many other countless quitters I have chatted with or laughed at while in chat.
There are also those few people that just seem to get it at the right times or can also call you on bullshit that make it again worth being here. Thanks Derk, Duathman, RacetrackCowgirl, B-Lo-Matt, CBird, Worktowin, Traumagnet, Diesel, Syndrome, WMCatty, Scowick, Bean, Eric from Pitt, AppleJack, DiplessInJax, Buck, SamCat, Mule, Corn, Dougie, gmann, and even more that I know I am missing.
Then the status quo of your original quit group the OG Duck Fips that were there with you daily as you were oblivious to the big picture of all KTC being one group. Without these guys there is no way in hell I would be here today; no ifs, ands or buts about it: JLud, Dagranger, Minny, J-Rod, Boomer Sooner, Paradigm Dawg, Fightin Ignorance, Felcie, NSG, Wozman, Brandt, Callaway...just wish they were all still here. None the less my quit is safe as I continue to post roll.
Then there was that month of being a conductor, holy shit Jeff and I had our hands full but we did it. Those of you from November that are still here it is great to see all of you hitting one year and sticking it out: BearHawk, Midwest, Construction 24-7, Mike form AB
Then there are always those people that you know are there to support you or better yet put a foot in your ass if you decide to fade away, beyond all of the above people are: Rdad, DocChewFree, GrizzlyhasClaws, jPine, klark and hopefully every single person here who has ben barked at or jumped on for caving or just plain doing something stupid. I myself speak my mind and quite freely, I do that not to be an asshole but because it is my personality. Plus it goes back to my favorite quote "I am weaving a web of accountability so big that if I cave there will be a line of people ready to hand me my ass".
I stick around here because it works, and yeah there is always seemingly drama about different shit on different days but in my honest opinion anytime that you throw Cessation, Addiction, Political Stances, Religious Beliefs, an Adult Chatroom, Raging Hormones and a handful of Crazies into a blender you are always going to wind up with some kind of tumultuous times and perhaps even a bad taste from time to time. Why I am coming back tomorrow though is because today alone at least one quitter did something that made me smile. Either they helped out a brother or sister, gave great advice, told me a funny joke or the avatar is worth looking at again. At this point the business agenda or perceptions of an agenda behind the scenes at KTC so be it. I help run a business in the real world and I "get it", so until someone asks me to pay a cover charge or tells me I have to pay a fee per post (retroactively even) I will be back.

My friend, and I'm happy to call you my friend, thanks for what you've done for my quit. I'm glad you stuck around for your almost 400 days. I'm thankful for the jogging chick avatar and now the easter egg avatar.

I'm grateful that you've taken the time to post your thoughts and feelings on various pages throughout the site. You have never been a guy that has taken and left the rest. No, you received a gift with honor and humility and added to the collective pool so others could receive this gift of quit too. For you, I give you the Poon Saloon Salute - BAM! Right in the ass!
What a great read. Pinched, you da man. I can't tell you how much I appreciated you in my quit. You were always there..
Good stuff brother! ... IR quit with you all day long!
Great to read stuff like this from a relative 'new guy'
Corey. For a guy who has posted on this site a million times. That is my favorite of those posts. I will keep quitting with you today.
Wow. Just wow. Great post.
You are a philosopher warrior P. An old soul. Always good stuff coming from you brother. I am QLF with you EDD.
Holy Shit Pinched. You are a Warrior Poet. That was a great read and has me jacked up to quit today! I am thankful for all you have done for this country and all you do for this Site! I like it when you are active. But it sounds like you get caught up in a lot of babysitting in your business. Anything you can give here is always looked forward to by us! Im Q-ing like F with you today!
Keep up the strong quit Pinched. We appreciate you, and we need you here. I quit with Pinched Today. He's Rock Star of quittin'! Thanks for sharing Brother!

Hello everyone. I am new to the site and am just starting my quit. I have never been a quitter but knowing that this quit can be a win I am ready to get it moving. I am a 36 year old male that started chewing at the age of 12 originally to control water weight for wrestling, then baseball came into my life as did hunting and fishing; all of those old times just created a reason to chew. I started with Cope and have since used Skoal LCD Straight.
I have three wonderful children and a supportive wife. I am also a Boy Scout leader and I coach two baseball teams. I have always hidden my habit from the Boy Scouts and the baseball players and this weekend I finally realized that I was trying to hide the habit. That on top of my daughter asking me to stop. I am a fitness freak and I run 7 miles everyday and then do Crossfits in the evenings.
I finally realize that if I can maintain all of those activities I have to be able to quit for good. I have tried to quit twice before but all it took was one hunt, climbing into my deer stand and trying to pull the bowstring only to get the shakes and decide to climb out of my stand and hit up a buddy for a pinch. Wow, just saying that makes me feel weak.
I just got done emptying the contents of three cans, and I have my cans of Hooch ready to supplement along with a stockpile of Jim Beam sunflower seeds and gum. The folks at the gas station must have thought I was some kind of confused prepper.
I was pleased to stumble across this site and I look forward to being one of the quitters that win. Those little cans have had the bulk,of my life but now I am fighting back.
Thanks to all before me,
Corey 400 days of freedom are yours, Corey! Congratulations and thank you for all that you do!

Welcome to Club 4 hundred! Hey brother, yea man, you have come a long way since you've written the Day 1 message. Look how much more articulate you are now then you were. I bet during that time you thought you would never, ever be as sharp as you were with the turd in your mouth. I'm proud of you brother of where you are now. More to come, shoulder to shoulder!
