COUNT YOUR MONEY
That's right. Start to add it up. By WEEK 11 you're getting close to 3/4s the way to HOF.
Call it 75 days. For me that meant around $375 bucks or more base on a can a day at 5bucks a shot.
Now count that money and grab your friends or spouse and go fucking blow it on a night out, a romantic dinner, a weekend trip, or something that you can share. Let your friends/spouse know what's paying for it.
Is this fucking amazing! Every 75 days you could in reality have a hell of a party rather a bunch of empty tins rolling around the back of the pick up.
RULE FOR WEEK #11 - COUNT YOUR MONEY and spend it on friends and family (at least the first time!).

Power through brothers. ~ 70 -- That was my ABSOLUTE worst time, worse than the beginning. Now i have passed 150 on the way to 200. Getting through those suck-ass days is what makes the quit grow stronger!!

A few of our quitters have me a bit worried:Chanilla - last activity 3/15 at 2:46PM, but I didn't see his name on rollcall... I know TFurrh tried calling; keep it up until we get him back.Bengalsgirl08 - last activity on 3/10 (6 days!)Squeaky - last activity on 3/11 (5 days!)If anyone has numbers for Bengalsgirl or Squeaky, now might be a good time to check in.
Chanilla PM'd me on the evening of 3/13. Here is our correspondence - take the time to reach out:

Smokey, hey. I don't really even know why in sending this to you personally but lately I have had a nice bit of funk. I feel like I have been on the edge of being quit and caving, walking the thin line. The only thing keeping me in the good side is -- you guessed it. Ktc. Do you think that's normal? I've jut felt so fucking close to losing it. I'm a completely different person in the day, on the verge of caving, and a different person at night, being so grateful that I made that through. But I cannot recognize this when I am having a massive crave. Anyway, Hope all is well with you.Chanilla
Hey Chanilla. Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying. When I took the past two weeks or so off from the site, I definitely thought more about chewing and how great just one would be. I stepped away because I'm a little obsessive, but also because I thought I could make it fine without this site. I say it's not worth finding out. The stakes are too high. But, I also realize that there is much more than KTC keeping me clean. I am keeping me clean. I am the one not buying chew when I stop to get gas. I am the person who has developed a large toolbox of alternatives when I feel the urge to chew. KTC has provided me a sounding board, support and huge accountability, but when it comes down to it, I am mostly accountable to myself. Every time I promise my August brothers that I will not chew today, I am making that promise to myself. I also had the thought when I was away that in a perfect world people wouldn't even need this website. If you make the decision to take control of your life, that should be enough. But, the vast majority of people don't know how to support themselves. We're convinced that we're not worth it. We feel we need something more important than ourselves to watch over us. Well, KTC provides a forum to overcome those mental blocks. Eventually, I will reach a point where I have internalized the strength that this site provides me, but I'm not there yet. When I reach that point, I hope to stay around and continue helping those newcomers. Anyways, sorry for rambling. I do that more for myself than anything. Remember, YOU are doing this. There is no shame in feeling like you're living on the edge. The fact that you are still making positive decisions is a testiment to your strength. Keep the quit. Dave

Is that what this shit is called. I've been having go-rounds with the "don'tgiveashits" and even some morning jonesin' for a fucking nic fix. Just gotta get through the A.M. and things seem to
smooth out. Have you tried texting Chan?
I'm having the "early-60s-lovin-my-quit" phase
