Pathetic.

All that expended energy and it ends with this dude being an absolute pussy.

I'm sick of all the chances we afford people anymore. Make your decision... man up... own it... Quit.

Once and done.

Be bigger than the can... be a man.

I wish I could say I'm surprised. I'm not trying to beat PPM up here. But ealy quit folks recognize this for what it is. This guy was planning this cave all along. Huge amount of people were reaching out to help him and he focused on some language he didn't like and wanted his account deleted. That is an example of a planned cave. He did come back but he didn't use the tools available to him. Life is hard. We have to learn to deal with it without nicotine. I hope he finds his way back in here but he is obviously not ready to quit yet.

Pouring your self out into someone seems like enough. But sometimes it isn't. Hope he turns around and sees clearly what is going on here.

Hey, I see that you were influenced by the Walt Garrison commercials! Just a pinch between your cheek and gums and relax.

Sounds like you are close to my age.

I am 60 and on day 346 of my quit.

Let us know if you are still with the program.

Everybody is here to keep up their quit and to help others do the same.

I quit with you today.

I learned a long time ago that not everyone here gets along, but we are all quit. My advice? The "ignore user" button works very, very well!

So glad to see you back, Joe!

Nicotine is a wicked monster. But you can win. Winning as a team is a whole lot easier.

Glad to be a part of your team!

well done PPM - and agree with W2W statement. Recognize and realize what you have just gone through with this and use it as a learning experience. As your mind gets healthy from not having the poison in it, the reaction you had was probably enhanced by that point, made you not see the large picture at first.

What was most likely (and confirmed) as just a helping hand reaching out was mistakenly heard as an attack, so your body and mind went into that reaction mode, the fight or flight response that is what we all used to immediately go to, and following that used to be throwing in a dip to settle down. But now without that, while in the process of healing we need to learn those steps to take to get past that immediate point, to delay that reaction and see that larger picture of the many milestones that we will live without having a plant controlling us.

again, never forget this, and find what and who you can to always stand side by side as you get through these days.

Self righteous B.S.

"Clean My Wounds"

I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.
The dogs of war never compromise,
No real time for rearranging.

"Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind.
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind.
He said it happens every time (Knock it down)
And that's how the story goes (Knock it down)
In the land of a thousand no's (Knock it down)
I'm all over you in time my mind is changing.
Knock it down

Black on black gives me a heart attack
And the silence makes it deadly.
Some choose to kill with simple will.
I've seen them fall fast and steady.

"Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind.
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind.
He said it happens every time (Knock it down)
And that's how the story goes (Knock it down)
In the land of a thousand no's (Knock it down)
I'm all over you in time my mind is changing.

Twist of fate won't give me a break
And myself, I'm slow and tired.
I've got to rise with these bloodshot eyes
But I keep falling when I'm higher.

"Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind.
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind.
He said it happens every time (Knock it down)
And that's how the story goes (Knock it down)
In the land of a thousand no's (Knock it down)

We are bleeding sins and our sins are always fadin'
Oh fadin', oh fadin', oh fadin'

Oh, knock it down, knock it down
Oh, knock it down, knock it down
Oh, knock it down, knock it down
Oh, knock it down

Hey man, I see that you blocked me on Facebook messenger. You want blocked from KTC, you're blocking any sort of help from those of us that know how to win, so the best I can offer you is this... Good luck.

I hope you come back and see this place for what it is. There is a whole lotta good here and just a little bad. Take what you need  leave the rest.
