Trying to finally rid myself of this plague

[kana]

Ok...
Well, I just logged into this website since last February. For the record, I'm 331 days quit (saved over $265!). I won't say "without a problem� the entire time, but my quit has gone relatively well. However, I decided to check back in to get some inspiration to deal with some minor desires to relapse. Lo and behold, I see that my last post was not received very well. After reflecting on some of the responses, it is clear to me that yes, I have "used" this community, in the sense that I have used you all for inspiration to quit but never signed the roll call. I�m so sorry about that. Just know that I have even more reason to stay quit, and will continue to use you all.

Jackasses ;)

331 days...impressive. You used this site to help you get there and now are back because you have some desire to relapse. Nice.

Did it ever occur to you to GIVE BACK , even a little, to the site and people that helped you quit? Did the thought ever cross your mind? Maybe sharing some of your experiences could have helped some of the guys struggling, especially the younger guys. Look back at the guys who reached out to you after your first intro post. I bet that felt good to be welcomed with that kind of response.

While Im glad your quit, I think you're a selfish bastard who really doesn't get this site. This is a brotherhood where we help eachother, a two way street, not a one way.

While there is no way anybody can MAKE you give back, speaking strictly for me, I honestly think you should be ashamed of yourself. Not only for using and not giving back but by popping back in after long periods and almost rubbing our noses in it. Like , "hey guys thanks for bearing your souls to me, it really helped me out, Im still quit though and will be back when I feel like using again. Later dudes".

That's fucking weak sauce in my book. Stop being a little bitch and think about giving back a little to the site and people that may have saved your life.

exactly where in the fuck can you go quit for nearly a year and have saved $265? What kind of fucked up math is that? What kind of fucked up person are you that you have the audacity to pop in and comment when you have been MIA for as long as you have. One would have thought at the very least you'd have the common decency to explain your absence in detail and your renewed commitment to your quit. No one here expects someone to give more than they are capable of giving, we do expect you to be respectful to everyone that does however. Your actions are purely selfish and are a disgrace.

I suggest we delete this thread

Actually my intentions in returning to the forums now was to relay some of my experiences and struggles being quit, but after I was confronted by those reactions to my last post from February 2012, my motivation was lost. It seems like there is not much room around here for diversity in terms of dealing with oneÂ’s addiction. It turns out that I am not one who needs to post every day to the roll call. My bad. But I donÂ’t think I need to be treated so harshly for it. I still struggle with my addiction, and I would hope you all would continue to at least voice support for my efforts.

And the “fucked up math” came directly from this website’s calculator. I dipped 1 can about every 5 to 7 days. Multiply that by 331 days. Wait, make that 332 days.

IÂ’m not sure on what grounds this thread should be deleted, but I couldnÂ’t care less if it was.

Bye.

The thread won't be deleted from what I've seen in my short time here and I don't think it should be. But.... before you get all pissed off at the reactions I do want to ask if you took any time to read the welcome center? If you had how can you wonder why you've got some shit over your posts? Glad you're quit, hope to see you here giving back, it WILL make your quit stronger. My guess is you're long gone and won't be back though.

Joe..people make mistakes.. as long as you learn from them.. but if you intend to just come and go that's not the way it works.. We can't allow 1 person to change the moral rules..
I'm happy you're still quit, but you're not benefitting as we are. You're still thinking of yourself. We on the other hand are thinking of others.. Of course our own quit is the most important, but to strengthen your quit you need to be involved. If you were ok you'd never had come back. Coming back tells us you can't do it alone. Guess what? None of us can do it alone. That's why we're here everyday making our promise, and supporting each other.
This isn't just about nic.. If you do what we do it'll change your whole person.
Eric71 's last post was a masterpiece, read his thread. He summed up exactly how I feel. This process has changed my life. Pm if you need anything..

You want us to support your efforts while you have supported NOBODY? Like I said, I'm glad you're quit but you're a selfish pussy.

Roll call is the backbone of this site. Evidently you're special and don't need it...great. What about giving back to others? Do you actually READ what people had written or just act like a little bitch and lie because you're feelings were hurt?

YOU said you were back to "GET some inspiration for your minor desire to relapse." You didn't say jack shit about sharing a single fucking thing until some people criticized you. I think you're full of shit.

This is a group site where people help eachother. Nobody is telling you to go back to the can, just that we don't appreciate being used and you pissing on the fundamental element this site was built on...posting role.

I hope you stay quit but how about showing some gratitude to the community that you used to help you quit and stop playing the victim like some pre teen little bitch who had her feelings hurt.

Seriously dude, grow a fucking pair.

Wanted to update you guys. I've been QUIT since 1/13. Still going strong with no problem. I know I haven't been posting roll call everyday, but just the fact that I know this community exists and there are people out there that are struggling with this addiction and beating it helps maintain me each day.

Staying QUIT,
Joseph

". . . with no problem."

That's got to be a load of bullshit. Lmfoa. Guys, no there is no need to feel like you were used. Joe took nothing from you. Nothing at all. You all offered him something, but he wasn't interested. He just wanted to talk, not listen.

Hey Joe, I'm craving like a mother fucker, can you help me out? You know, knowing your quit is help enough. Wait I don't know shit cus you didn't post roll, but I'm guessing you don't have my back. This is a group site, you are a selfish individual and you are just using us. Get with the program.

Thanks Joe. Just knowing you are out there gaining strength from knowing we are out here just gives me strength just knowing you are out there gaining strength from us.

Ha! That nails it! I have been super stealth with my douchebaggery for too many years. Thanks for making my laugh. I needed it.

[PMac]

Good work Joe. Sounds like me as well. Bunch of sneaky, douche ninjas we are.

Glad to be quit with you today. Enjoyed my first vacation with my family this weekend without nicotine. Complete liberation! Proud of you, man. Keep your word. I'll keep mine.
