Nicotine, I Hate You

[rdad]

Maybe I am the wrong person to bring it up but...

It has been a long time since I posted in the Introduction section. I have still posted roll every day and support in some other groups but I guess I was leaving some of the outspoken quit comments to those that have been more active. I cant help but throw my 2 cents in about some of the on-goings in the new quit groups. There seems to be an influx in the amount of people returning to the site after using nicotine. Some recently active and others returning from a hiatus as long as years. It seems to be occurring on a daily basis. While in chat and June's group text, I realized that this may be sending catastrophic messages to those that are fighting the bitch every day. There are highs and lows to every quit. Those in a "funk" may look at the returning "cavers" and think that it is acceptable to use nicotine and just return to post a day 1. I have a message and a promise to those that may be feeling this way:

It is completely unacceptable to lie to those that care about you and fight each day together with you against nicotine. I can not describe the shitty lonely and desolate feeling that you will have if you choose to be a pussy. After about 30 seconds, you will feel defeated and wish you never went back. Those that are fighting every day have their integrity intact. You may never regain the trust of people in your NEW group or by those on KTC. This means that you would be fucked. You would be back to quitting on your own, which probably would mean going back to dying on your own. Craves will pass. Funks will go get fucked. Stop thinking about dip next week, next year, when you are 70, etc, but think about today. Wake up and repeat.

Listen to the message: Caving is not acceptable. You would have to be a lucky fuck to return to the site and be welcomed as an equal.

Fuckin' A Sixer! Well said!

It has been a while.....
Last summer, I was walking into a supermarket, when a pickup truck sped through the parking lot and quickly stopped in the front of the store. I thought I was in a scene from "The Town" and was about to witness my first robbery. The man that jumped out of the passenger seat of the pickup ran towards the entrance. He stopped at the stand alone cylinder ash trays that stand outside the doors. The man two hand scooped the used cigarettes and ran into the truck. The driver then quickly drove off.
Not only is the story funny and pathetic, it helps me relate to KTC and our quits. You can not quit for your wife. You can not quit for your kids. You can not quit because you have a sore in your mouth. You can not quit because you want to buy a new truck and you need more money. You can not quit because you are embarrassed to dip. You can not quit because tobacco is going to kill you. The sore will go away. You have tried to quit for your family before. You will come across a surplus of cash someday. You have been successful at ninja dipping before. Something happening years from now will not effect you today. People walk around with oxygen tanks while smoking butts. People get teeth pulled and still dip. People have lost jaws and still attempt to dip. People pull up to stores and steal used butts from strangers that are in ash trays.
We need quit for ourselves. We need to quit because we are sick of being tied to something that controls us, makes us feel like shit every day, and prohibits some of you from scoring with females. Now that I look back, the purpose of my life used to be to get my nicotine fix all day, every day. I live for more today. I didnt quit for my family but today I am living with them as one of my main purposes. Stay quit all. Day 249 and counting.

Nice story. The lows we have endured just to get a unit of nicotine. Pathetic.

Drama is not a new concept to KTC. It comes and it goes. Unfortunately, people continue to fan the fire. On the record there have been 3-4 four people voicing their dissenting opinion regarding "the app" (cant say the name). I was a member of the four that thought WE needed balance between the two, not total abolition of one or the other.
I personally made a mistake that I can admit. In October, someone asked a question about a hacker and I ASSUMED the negative. I responded to it in that fashion and I was wrong. Even if I privately believe it, I shouldn't publicly state it because I too can be wrong.
I dont usually speak for people. But I will in this situation. We are all parts of different HOF groups. These groups have young "know it alls" and "old dinosaurs". We are parts of these groups because we all go through the same emotional and physical issues around the same time period as a result of our addiction. We can relate to each other, share experiences, and methods of quitting. Make no mistake, We are all however MEMBERS of the same KTC community. Not one SINGLE FUCKING PERSON on here wishes anyone to fail. I dont care about the differences. Or the attacks. Or the speech in private messages on the boards. You may feel certain members dislike you, but I am 100 % percent certain that they hate nicotine more than you. So lets not repeat my mistakes continuously. Let's not assume every post regarding activity or KTC is a shot below the belt at "the app". Let's stop assuming that someone's harsh public words mean they want your to cave. Let's pull up our big boy pants and move on. Day 203. I quit with all of you today.

Nice nugget here, Six. I took away things from this post.. so thank you.

Just a few of my favorite points:

1. "the app" is great. But if not for KTC, would any of us be on "the app" ? Balance
2. Are there members who are "dicks". For sure. I'm probably viewed as one by a few. Great. I quit today with you and will help you stay quit however. Perspective

We are here for a common goal, to quit and stay quit. Our enemy is not one another... it's nicotine. I'm guilty of forgetting why I came here in the first place, also. You take it for granted. That is something I will change in my next 100 days here. I need to go back to my roots.
