Well, I don’t think a simple “told you so” is guna do it. It’s been about 800 days since I was dropped from this group. It took me a while but eventually I caved. I’ve thought about coming back for to long. Everytime I put a turd in my lip the past year it sent an almost electric shock to my brain thinking about how far down the shit hole of addiction I’ve sunk. Back again, hoping you all will have mercy on me. I wana apologize to all of you first off, I regret a lot of things but mostly I regret not listening to the guidance of my fellow quitters, no matter how harsh it sounded.

Here’s how it happened, after leaving this site, I stayed quit for about 6 more months. I inspired my co workers and friends trying to quit, so that I could fill this gaping hole of accountability that I lost for myself and invest in other people. None of them survived, I watched my co workers slip back into addiction one by one and got to watch how easy it was to throw away so much progress. The stress of my new PM job and the lack of respect for my own well being kept growing like an infectious virus. It got heavier and heavier to hold and I lost sight of why I was quit.

THIS IS WHY THIS SITE WORKS.... which is also something I lost sight of. We reminded each other every day of the struggle we went through, why we hated it so much, and why we were so happy to be over it. The 1200 days I spent quit with July 2014 were the strongest years of my life. The empowerment it brings you to know you’re in the small percentage of people that have lifted themselves out of the shithole of addiction.

I want back on this train, and when I’m back I’m going to stay here until I either die, or the planet expires, whichever comes first. If I have an issue, I need to reach out and look for a solution. Treat roll as if it’s sacred EVERY GOD DAMN DAY. Watching that number grow is what’s keeping you alive, it’s like your life support. Pull the plug and you’ll end up like me, crawling back desperately looking for help.

DONT BE LIKE ME
BE A BADASS QUITTER




I was once a badass quitter, I was about 1200 days free. I got loose with roll, my group ditched me, it took me a while but I eventually caved. I’m now a year in and I’m more addicted than I’ve ever been. Stopped for 30 days and failed. I regret all of it, and I want to get my life back on track and ditch this piece of shit in my mouth. I know I’ll probably get reamed, but I’m here and I want to be done with this!
Man it's people like you that keep me posting my promise EDD. And I have to say, your group "ditching you" is possibly one of the lamest excuses for YOUR failure. YOU decided to throw away 1200 days of freedom. YOU put the cat shit into your face. There are countless other groups here at KTC that would have adopted you per se and let you post with them.

To start out, you need to answer the three questions. You need to dig deep and put some honest thought into these since they are for you more than us. We can learn from your mistakes but ultimately you need to get to the bottom of why slavery to a dead weed in a plastic can was better than freedom.

1.) What happened?
2.) Why did it happen?
3.) What are you going to do differently this time?

Post these answers into your new May 2020 group as well as your old group. I don't care that no one is there anymore. Maybe one of your old group people will come back thinking about caving, see your failure and think twice.

His old group is there, and is really strong, still. Many guys there post roll everyday, yes, they are hard core, but seeing this, glad they are because it's saving them. quit hard Daviddim.

I’m not making an excuse, I know full well it was my decision to cave and get loose on roll. I should have reached out to admins to move me to a new group. Instead I thought I could go without one, Which is exactly where I went wrong. I will be posting in both groups as soon as I can find them. Thanks for the reply.

Let me tell you all a story about a little girl named David that came on this site wearing a patch and a bad attitude 200 days ago. A girl that blamed their mistakes and weaknesses on unsuspecting people like the mail lady, or a teller at the bank, or that midget that's sitting in the corner that just wouldn't stop staring. All that aside, that little girl grew up one day and became a man. How? Do you ask? How does one small little girl grow a 2 inch dinger(fully erect mind you). Il tell you how, I'd like to pull a barry bonds on all of you and say I DID THIS, I DONT NEED ANY OF YOU, but that's a sack of fucking slutty lies. I owe every day to you guys! I can't thank you all enough for having my back for 200 days and for just being fucking bad ass quitters. Looking forward to the many days to come of celebratory quit days with my DD destroyers, but for now ODAAT
that's some strong quit talk there david. you are what makes me proud to be a part of this group of misfit toys called july 14. DD strong with you till the end. QLF with you today.
That's awesome! Congrats on 200

STORY TIME!!!

Today i cleaned my car really well. Looked under the seat and what do i find staring back at me? ONLY ONE, CRISP, looked FRESH OUT OF THE PACK cigarette. Obviously just like every addict on planet earth i was trying to give myself a reason to smoke just one. I stared at that cigarette the entire 2 hour drive home from Monterey CA, when i pulled into my driveway, the first thing i did was grab that cigarette take it to the trash, and CRUMBLE IT INTO A MILLION TINY PIECES. Never, i repeat NEVER have just one, it doesnt fuckin work like that, once an addict always an addict. If youre not quite there yet and youre reading this, learn to HATE EVERYTHING that contains even a drop of nicotine and QUIT LIKE A MOFO

Stay Quit Friends!
Stay strong with me!
Nicotine sucks.

Quitting doesn't.

Good job destroing the cig (should you hit this bump again, do it faster), and Stay quit
I'm worried about two things: you stared at a cigarette for two straight hours, and you did it while driving?
It was just poetic to me. Multiple times ive run into a survivor of the purge. Idk i just wasnt that intimidated by it, i wanted it there so i could scold it and talk shit to it, like everytime i go into the store and see a can, that conversation you have. I like that conversation.
Nice!! Give it Hell.
Man, this is a good story. My heart sank for a minute when I saw this page at the top with the "Anger brought me back to Day 1" title. You are coming up on HOF and I thought oh shit noooooooo! Then I get to the bottom of the page and read your post from the other day. Dude, I'm really proud of you. You've come such a long way from being that whiny little !@#$!$ that was complaining about the mail lady. You've been rock solid in your quit. Not sure if I would recommend taking a 2 hour drive with a cig sitting next to you, but I also see how you used it. We do some crazy shit to stay quit and if you had to talk to and scold the cigarette on your drive, well then do what you need to do. Another tool in the arsenal I guess. But mostly I just want to say, way to go man. proud as hell of you.
