Congrats on 4 years quit Zq!
Maybe he can post roll daily with you Chick - because he sure doesn't with us.

Putting this in your intro, because you've been logged in, reading the shit-storm in July '14 relating to the below issue ... and you've not only skipped weighing in on it, but you were within our pages and once again didn't post to roll (I was logged in and saw you at the bottom). Twice you've posted support in other groups, but ignored posting in your home group. Others feel we should just let you fade away ... I feel you deserve one last toss of the life ring, but it's not going to be covered with unicorns and rainbows:

29 missed days of posting in your home group since July started. That's 29 for 53, or 54.7% posting ... which is horseshit. You used to be a beacon of quit, but your light is fading ... all due to what you feel are transgressions against guys in July '14 who miss days, and get their ass handed to them for it. Somehow, you've twisted accountability around to fit your schedule, and expect others to do the same. That's not the way KTC works at day 20, and it certainly isn't the way KTC works at day 1200+.

You've mentioned the admiration you have for some of the older groups, who have guys floating by whenever they feel like it ... and how wonderful it is that they're welcomed with open arms. The July '14 DD's have been consistent since the beginning, and missing days is equivalent to a big FU to those that honor their brothers by posting roll DAILY, not when life "allows" it. It literally takes less than 30 seconds to log on and post your number and promise for the day. Acknowledging and supporting that 30 seconds is too much some days is a kick in the cock to the brothers who were there for you since the beginning. And for clarity, people sometimes miss ... that's never been the issue in July. Consistently stacking missed days together, giving no reason for going missing prior, showing no remorse for missing after ... that's what earns a quitter getting his shit pushed in, because at that point it's fairly obvious he doesn't really GAF about his bros. Protesting that tough-love reaction by missing roll on purpose ... wow. That's the definition of weak-sauce right there.

I hope to hear an audible "pop" that indicates you're pulling your head out of your ass and getting back to quitting. Many in July feel that your missing roll on purpose, in protesting treatment of half-ass quitters, is worthy of removal from our table of quit. Personally, I hope you realize that you're an enabler ... enabling shittier posting habits of those you're trying to "protect" from us meanies who hold people's feet to the fire when they go MIA. One of the very dudes you said was treated unfairly MONTHS ago when he continuously missed days is now MIA since 08/04/17, and not answering texts. I can only assume he's doing so in an act of solidarity with you missing days as well. How this helps either of your quits is beyond me.

Get back to quitting, and stop using roll as a weapon of protest. And yes, missing roll on purpose is weaponizing roll. If your quit has evolved to the point where a daily promise is of little importance to you, maybe you're right ... you're better off posting elsewhere. Not a legacy of quit to leave, IMO. Coming out of the gate hard, and fading later happens to a lot of quitters ... never did I think you would be one of them.

Flip the script.

Big thanks to Zquitter! Who hosted yesterday's Southern California quitmeet. It was great to meet some local guys and some legends who have turned the tides against nicotine. We celebrate our freedom each day and it's good to be quit with all of you!

I cannot believe I made it 998 days. KTC changed my life. Anything clever or wise would only be copied from something I read on this site. Thanks KTC.
You still have what I think is the best HOF speech I've read.
