Just an all around crappy weekend. It's day 30 and the cravings have been more intense than on day 4. Thanks to the help of a whole bunch of you I was able to keep my promise all weekend. Here's to hoping for a better week.

Proud of you for reaching out this weekend. Sucks what you had to deal with but adding nicotine wouldn't have solved anything. Nice job on staying clean.
Today, I quit!!!

Quit Date: 28 Feb, 2014
HOF Date: 7 June, 2014

Here I am on day 53 and I was cruising along just fine. Then out of nowhere "BAM" I am back to raging like a son of a bitch, just like I was on day 3. I'm fighting through it but for those of you who are new, keep in mind to always keep your guard up. The craves can come find you when you least expect it. Stay close to the site and make friends so you can reach out to them. I quit with all of you today.

Anger was always a trigger for me. I've had angrier times in this quit than I can even remember, maybe since puberty, and never came close to caving. SHELL shit.
Post roll, don't dip. Have to admit, that part was fucking easy this last 123 days. I had no epiphany or grand revelation about quitting, no medical event, no life changes. I knew plenty about nicotine and quitting already before I came here, I knew dipping was the wrong thing and I kept doing it on purpose (for a while I would even say, "Hail, Satan!" when I bought a can - let's be honest about what deliberate evil really is). There was nothing special about 6 Oct 2014, except that I committed to quitting, all the way, in the KTC quit vehicle, with quitters who would never accept the bullshit that I accepted from myself. Like I said, I knew SO MUCH about quitting already; Quitting for me has a lot to do with internal dialogue and narrative. "I" dip - WTF? Cravings - I have none. As a quitter, thoughts about dipping are not my thoughts. When you hear, "Ba dah bop ba bah," is, "I'm lovin' it," your thought? No. Recognizing and reconditioning dipper thoughts is so fucking easy in a place like KTC. Think of the saying, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." What source flows into the heart to fill it to abundance? Sense data, interpreted/associated sense data, stories about identity from the internal narrative, entrainment to those like-hearted, and your own speech feeds back. I am quit. I am quit and I quit forever, today, whatever it takes, no excuses ever, with the SHELL and Mayhem.

Lou Holtz coached all 3. But I admit that I cheated as I didn't know he coached the Jets

I haven't been very active lately due to just being busy with life. But as I hit 90 days quit today I was thinking of all of u who helped me out in those first couple weeks when I was having a very hard time. I want to thank all of u. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community like ktc to quit this addiction.

HOF Speech

Here in THIS house, we Kill the Can. If it's not a top priority, go to one of the bitch sites where they "hurt the can" or "call the can names." - Pre

This is so much more that just throwing your name on a list, it is placing your word or promise that you will not use nicotine and it should be done everyday. - MCarmo44

I need this place, because i am an addict. I cannot forget that...if i do i will forget how to quit. - Schaef418

I hit day 100 today and it's only because of this site and the fellow members who have helped me. If u have any doubts, read through my intro and see the shit I went thru. 23 years being a slave and there's no way I would have made it this far without KTC. For you new members, you need to know that. You can't go it alone!
