I posted this in my home group (July '14 DD's). Malonerton used to be a member of that group ... until this last weekend. Place a finality on your quit people, it eliminates the possibility of shit like this happening to you:

Well DD's ... you ready for another kick in the cock? Wonder why Malonerton didn't post up this weekend? Because he knowingly took some puffs off a cigar at day 849. He knew what he was doing, he knew what it meant ... and he did it anyway. He didn't reach out, because he didn't care ... he was committed to using. This is his 2nd go-around if you remember ... he's caved in the past.

Malonerton was another dude I repeatedly chased for his roll post. He was just going through the motions, never practicing brotherhood/accountability/quit.

His text, verbatim:

I had a drag from a cigar this weekend. I have no excuse and got caught in the moment. This is the 2nd time I f'd up now. I won't poison KTC anymore with my unreliable and untrusting commitment. I'm a coward and a failure and will take a good long look at myself.

849 days ... poof, gone. I hope you guys use this to steel your resolve, like I will. Is there a finality to this quit for you guys? Can you see yourself making this same "mistake"? Fuck that, not me ... not ever. I control this shit, not the other way around. After 32+ years of using ... I'm never going back. This is my guarantee to the DD's.

To anyone waffling about their quits, bear the fuck down! Brag up your power over this weed! Keep posting your promise daily! Don't FAIL! WIN!
Fuckin A Right Smeds! Never again. You wanted your freedom and went out and earned it. Threw it all away for a cigar? Weak sauce.
He was in my class too, and failed us. This addiction SUCKS! it's EVIL! learn about it, dammit! You CANNOT TAKE ONE MORE DIP, PUFF, LICK, WHATEVER---- NOT on ANY DAY. NO F-ING FLAKING! Get used to it! I feel bad about this, i had hopes for this guy. Jan 14, July 14, all betrayed..... glad you're taking a hard look man. It's hard, evil, sneaky, bad. Learn, be active as all hell, and you can WIN.... as my bro PAB says, if you post then ghost you're toast.
When will you really be "Finally Serious" ? The final result is serious, if you don't get it together man. Don't fuck with this addiction. It'll keep tricking you, enslaving you, and end up rotting your ass away. You gotta FINALLY get SERIOUS and take your life back while you still have a chance.
He gone.........

I hate this shit. I just don't get how anyone with 800+ days can be such a wuss. Actually, let me re-phrase that, I can't see how anyone who truly wants to be quit can be such a pussy. It doesn't matter what day you're on - if you want this with every last bone in your body, you'll quit. If you hate nicotine with every ounce of your being, then you'll succeed. If you post roll every day, then you can win. Integrity, accountability, and brotherhood are must-haves! With every passing day, my resolve to quit, my hate for nicotine, my accountability, and the bonds of my brethren grow. I win because my quit continues to grow and flourish. And like I said to my brother in quit earlier, freedom is far more addicting than my addiction.
Cigars - I knew they might be an issue with my quit. I prepared for that and I flat out turned one down on Day 16...

Day 16

Caving to a cigar is really weak when you've stopped using dip or cigarettes. :blink:

Been a while since I added an entry here. On day 287 right now and enjoying every day of freedom.

This site has been great and as I have said before, I do not think there is anyway I would be quit today without it. That being said, with all the nonsense I have been reading in the new quit groups and especially a certain group in 2014, I am not so sure I would recommend this site to my good friends who still use. It is pretty embarrassing to read through a lot of the stuff. The comments, accusations and straight up whining is how junior high kids would react, and not how I expect adults to communicate with one another.

Part of the problem is that I know I have very little tolerance for people who react and live their life solely on emotion. It does not allow one to better themselves through education and learning. In the end I think cooler heads can prevail as many people get caught up in the emotion of the moment. I know replying and adding to the conversation when people are hot headed like that will only provoke more emotional responses from people though...

Hopefully the day my friends do decide to quit I can confidently direct them to this site with the disclaimer that there will a lot of different types of personalities, but they all want the same thing, and that is what you need to focus on.

Till then keeping up on my quit.... and thinking about hibernating the rest of this cold Wisconsin winter...
I suppose at the very least all the nonsense taking place was interesting. Like a bad car wreck, I could not look away and just had to look. People like that always give out, and do not last too long. Hard to get by on raw emotion all the time.

Not sure they get it enough, but thank you to those who take the time to administer the site.

Cold Tuesday and waiting for baseball season which equals warmer weather...
Proud to be your July brother. I pick and choose my drama. I rarely go into new groups for fear of bumping new quitters, I try and communicate through PM or intros. As for other groups and drama, I look at it on a case to case basis and go from there. Take what you want, and leave the rest, just be quit.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Reached the 2nd floor today. It has been long over due and milestones are nice to get to.

Making sure that each day is another day that I live to the fullest, and that means not wasting my time, money and health on a can of mouth cancer ever again.

Thanks for all the support from everyone in my July quit group and the veterans who reached out to me when I caved. I will keep posting and keep quit.
Gratz man, enjoy the day!
Congrats on making it to the second floor bud!!

Its a great milestone!
Way to go man! Glad for you!
Proud of you bro!
