I’ve been quit now for over 5 years. Unfortunately it took me over 17 years to smarten up to the point where I made my decision and actually quit dipping. These days it’s very rare that I even think about dipping other than when I’m posting roll on the forums. And [...]
I often get asked how we differ from other quit sites out there. I typically don’t really respond other than to tell folks to check us out and see if they like what they find. More often than not folks tend to stick around.
Every once in a while, we’ll get someone on [...]
As I’ve said in previous posts, I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to site analytics and how people find us. During the past year, I find myself referring to something that’s been written here on the blog quite a few times so I figure I’d put this post together. Got something [...]
One of NBC’s most popular show is called The Biggest Loser. If you’re not familiar with the show, contestants go on and go through a “boot camp” like program in order to lose weight. During last week’s show one of the contestants, Mike Messina, was shown to be a nicotine addict. While that’s certainly not [...]
I’m always interested to hear how people found us. Some folks are told about the site by a current member of our support forums. Others see a KTC product and find us that way. Word of mouth, the page suggestion tool, Twitter, Facebook, etc. But by far the #1 [...]

“How’s your quit?” It’s a three word sentence that means absolutely nothing to most people. But it’s a question that to us addicts can quite literally be the difference between life and death.
OK, that may have been a bit of an overstatement, but not by much. You never know when someone is struggling with [...]
I recently ran across an article on the USA Today website titled Program urges smokers switch to smokeless tobacco. I think it’s pretty obvious where I stand on this particular article so I won’t bother you with my thoughts on the “Switch and Quit” program director Brad Rodu who I think shouldn’t be allowed [...]
I’m always looking for a new smokeless alternative out there and I recently ran across Grinds Coffee Pouches. (In all fairness, I’ve been sitting on this review for a while now and I’m just now getting around to writing it…) Grinds Coffee Pouches are just that… coffee in a small pouch. Each can [...]
If you’ve following along here on the blog or on our Facebook page, you know that we’ve been inching toward a big milestone on our forums. I’m happy to announce that on November, 30th at 11:19 PM, forum member Kylecina joined our merry bunch… and became the 10,000th member of our [...]
