Hello all I'm new to the site

[Grizzlyhasclaws]

Today marked 1 year since Cancer stole my mother away from me. It was a hard day. I was on my way to work thinking about my mom and how much I miss her. I was thinking about my dad and how he is on hospice, battling liver cancer, and closing in on his final days soon. I walked into the convenience store to get a couple bottles of tea and a bag of cracked pepper sunflower seeds when the nic bitch crept up on me. I was standing in line behind about 5 people. 3 of them bought cigarettes and 2 bought dip. I saw a sign that was advertising Copenhagen and thought to myself " god that looks delicious". In my head I heard her telling me that it's just a can and nobody will ever know. I placed my things on the counter and kept staring at the sign. The cashier saw what I was looking at and asked if I wanted a can. I thought about it for a second and said no thank you.
Moral of the story is that I'm roughly 10 days away from the HOF and there is no way that bitch is getting me back. I have stood back to back with my brothers and sisters in the Sultan's of Quit and I will not let them down. I don't think I will ever be free of the occasional funk but I will always have the family on ktc.

Good job. Never ever doubt your decision to quit. You obviously know that it was the correct decision. I quit with you today.

Well, I am closing in soon on the 50 day mark. I feel great and have been feeling great for a little while. I definitely hit a huge funk at the 30 day mark. I believe however that another funk is upon me. I wouldn't have recognized it had it not been for me reading what all the vets have written on the site. I keep hearing this little voice in my head telling me that I've got this shit kicked and I don't need to waste my time logging on and posting roll everyday. It tells me that I don't need to check up on October to see how things are going for them because they don't need me there. I hear it plain as day saying you are ready to do this on your own. You got what you needed now leave the rest and quit wasting your time.

Well I know it's the cold hearted nic bitch whispering those sweet nothings in my head and I don't plan on listening. I know she is a lying and treacherous little bitch. Thank you to all the vets who posted and gave me the knowledge to know how she attacks and the tools to fight her.

Days 50-100 can be some of the hardest days. As a group the Titans will witness epic caves, members falling from roll like they have no feet, and Titans will see others pass the 100 day count while the anxiously await their turn, or they hit the HOF and wait for "what is next".

I can say that I suffered many of these and being a brother from October 2013 we saw all of the above, but the core group of us still exist here and still post roll because we have learned that it is an easy 5 second defense against the Nic Bitch and Big Tobacco and all of their little whispering lies.

Be strong, keep on doing as you are with the journal and identifying all of the little secrets that you are being whispered. Your brain is still rewiring as is mine.

P

it is cyclic with each group, don't know why other than those who just don't reach out during the toughest times, or for those who just don't want it enough, as Oct 12 was the same as Oct13 and will most likely be the same for what you and your group will go through.

Best way to keep it even keel, is to keep giving your word and honoring it, keep making the contact and connection with those you have the numbers for, even if just to say hi, and look around to absorb as much information as you can to keep your tools sharp.

be good brother, you are doing this

Well here I go again! Lately everyday I log on this site I get a little more annoyed with certain things. It seems like everyday there is at least one more person that had excuses and is trying to justify why they can't post roll everyday! BULLSHIT! ! Get your ass in here and post roll or text a brother or sister to post for you. Also, everyday I see another serial caver popping up in a new group posting day 1 and running away before they answer for what they did. Then if they do finally decide to answer they give half ass answers and get pissed off when they get called out. You fucked up so shut up and take the shit storm you have earned. You are trying to get accepted into a group of serious folks and lashing out is not the proper way to do that. If you were interviewing for a dream job and the employer called you out for having a lack of experience in the field would you tell them to fuck off and kiss your ass because they need you? No, you would shut the hell up and take it so you don't fuck it up.

My biggest peeve lately makes me want to lash out at people. I am very frustrated when I see someone post a new day 1 in intro ' s or in a quit group and nobody reaches out to them. If anyone does reach out to them it's the same couple members of the group that reach out every time. Every member of a quit group needs to remember they are a GROUP and EVERYONE should be reaching out to new members to welcome them and help them through the first few days. Remember how much people helped you in the beginning and pay it forward. On the same note, when a serial caver or someone who wronged your group or another group pops in then hold them accountable. There are some people vets and new quitters alike that are getting entirely too damn soft. Accountability is what makes this site work so don't coddle and damn sure don't ignore people that need a lesson in it. Especially if it gets pointed out and the person who pointed it out is constantly bumping it up because nobody is addressing the issue. PROTECT YOUR QUIT AND PROTECT YOUR QUIT GROUP!

Your nic rage means you are healing, and your passion means you are in this hardcore. Great post, and damn proud to be quit with you today.

Bringing the quit big ton. Three types of people come to Ktc. Those who act. Those that want to play. Then there is big ton. He just came to QLF. ;)

Yep, Bigton is a quitter. Let the weak and useless ones make you stronger! You are not like them.

Good stuff. I like how you think. I think that you'll find that the half assed quitters will fade away gradually.

Stay focused.

Thanks for all the positive words! I really am treating this quit like a life or death situation because, well, that's what it is! Half ass people are getting under my skin. Glad to feel the support in here and know that I am not the only one who thinks this stuff!

I think the stats are there are roughly 100 quitters that start a HoF period, and there will be 40 left quit at the end (that post daily). I am in that 40%, the bad asses before us posting in your thread are in that 40%. Don't sweat the 60% that can't make the cut, and focus on being in your 40%.

I suppose it is time for a little rant.
Every damn day for the past 28 days I have been on KTC as early as I possible can to post ROLL. My promise to myself and all of you brothers and sisters that I will not use nicotine in any way shape or form that day. I don't understand what in the hell is so hard about posting roll. That is the cornerstone of this damn site. It seems like everyday there is a new member of my quit group added to the list of assholes that feel they don't need to post roll EDD. If you miss it once and have a good damn excuse then fine. When you are consistently missing days then its time for you to shut the hell up, tell the group your a pussy and leave. Go post at Lite because we don't have time to care more about you and your damn "quit" than you do. We don't accept your half ass quit. Which brings me to my second nerve. If you are texting your roll in every day and you haven't logged on to the site in days then TO HELL WITH YOU. I am glad your getting your name on roll. However, you are not here reading to strengthen your quit. You are not helping that brother or sister in need or welcoming the new guy to the group and trying to give him some advice. You aren't going into other groups or new groups and posting and offering words of wisdom or reading words of wisdom. STOP HALF ASSING YOUR DAMN QUIT. If your life and your quit mean more to me than they do to you then GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.

Nice!!

Excellent rant. I agree 100%.

Hang in there BigTon. It is frustrating. I got your back.

I figure the Tony Gwynn syndrome has worn off on some of our group and they're starting to get complacent.
