It is with a heavy heart that I write this today. Today I am saying goodbye to a friend, to a partner in my fight against addiction and one of the best human beings I’ve ever known. Lee Lewis, founder and president of Nip Energy Dip, passed away on Thursday, May 16, 2013 [...]
Dear Nick Swisher ~
Welcome to Cleveland! As a huge Cleveland Indians fan I simply cannot tell you how jazzed I am to see you donning a Tribe jersey this season. I was driving to work the other day and literally got goosebumps when I noticed a guy walking on the sidewalk wearing a #33 [...]
I don’t know about you, but as the calendar turns to November, my thoughts turn to the holidays. We’re past Halloween and next up on the list is one of my favorites… Thanksgiving! Synonymous with Thanksgiving naturally the turkey, and synonymous with KillTheCan.org is quitting tobacco cold turkey style!
At KTC and on [...]
As the day winds down on September 11th, 2012, I feel compelled to write just a few words. I’ve never been a military man, I’ve never been a police officer and I’ve never been a fireman. I’ve never been a doctor, I’ve never been a politician and I’ve never been any sort of public servant.

Yesterday was Opening Day for my beloved Cleveland Indians (No jokes please… the psyche of a Cleveland fan is delicate at best). As I do just about every year, I was there to welcome my team back to the field. Aside from the fact that it was cold as hell (and we ended [...]
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 [...]
2011 – The Best Of The KTC Blog
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 [...]
