I guess I'm with everyone else who is totally stunned. Usually you can see a cave coming. But I went back and read all of the posts you made, and I think it's pretty clear you know what you did wrong and how to get back to quitting. For myself I always think that if I caved I couldn't get back on track...hopefully that won't happen with you. Second time around don't use the 100 day mark as a milestone. Takes a lot longer than that for a lot if us. Good luck. Be a leader again.
Congrats on pushing through the second time around. Keep it up.
I second that, you learned from the past. A year in the bag is bad ass!

Quit on!
Agreed ... nicely done AFA. I sure wish you had 174 more days than now, but maybe it was a blessing in disguise. NEVER AGAIN! You don't do that shit no more!

Saw your day 4 and was filled with mixed emotions. Sorrow that you failed, yes you failed but glad that at least you came back. I haven't read through everything regarding your cave yet but I will. Since school started for the kiddos I haven't been on KTC much (for support) but I damn sure on every day to post roll.

You have digits, use them. Just never put that shit in your pie hole again.

lightly7, gmann, Bradleyguy, slug.go  Smeds... What can I say? I look back to that first post here on KTC  I remember that addict. I didn't think it was possible. I was scared. So many failed attempts in the past. Didn't know if there was hope. Thanks to all of you for your support. This is a TEAM fight for sure. I appreciate you all more than you know. You have helped save my life. I couldn't have done it without you. And that's the truth.
Well, you sure let your TEAM down. Get back in the fight!
Well said Slug.

Get back on that horse. Remember how much it sucked waking up each morning with sore ass gums? I do. And then being frightened and ashamed as shit when you went to the dentist? Yep, that too. Also nice having a few extra bucks in my pocket for pizza, tbell or spending on the dogs. There are countless reasons, find yours and stay committed.

Once you post in Jan 15' I will post each day with you.
How bad do you regret caving?
This makes me sad.

And angry.

You didn't own it. Do you understand what I mean? You need to own it... not only the baggage of being an addict, but the baggage of being an ACTIVE quitter. For awhile, and it differs for each one, you need to be resolved to the fact that quitting and being clean will be work. You get that?

Work.

You gave up. Plain and simple... You stopped caring about working on being quit and that's why you failed. Explain it away any way you want but you got lazy and you were weak.

You cannot afford that.

There will come a time when quitting is second nature and it is what you ARE instead of what you're DOING... You didn't reach that point. It owns you still.

How are you gonna change that and be the master?

Own it.
I for one expect more from former military no matter what branch. AJ is mad and sad as are many others. I say thank you for reminding me that I am quit. Never ever will I succumb to the calls of the siren Nic bitch.

FU nicotine and FU big tobacco for claiming yet another victim.

Everyone else use this as a spark to reignite your quit flame not a reason or an excuse to become yet another bad decision.
