Introduction

[bis-cut]

All,

My name is Recon(Michael) and I am a caver. I joined the April 2011 group back in January of 2011 and rode my Quit journey in to approximately 60 days.

Let me start by apologizing to the community. Not only did I fail my family, friends, and coworkers, I failed each and every one of you. I made a promise to my entire Quit group and the KillTheCan community and I broke that promise and violated your trust in me.

Earlier today, I dumped my cans, and made a conscious decision to regain control of my life. Tonight, I stopped in to the chat room asking where do I go from here? The answers were all practically the same and were what I was expecting; Post up in your old group, and start over on day 1. Also, answer three not so simple questions to everyone.

So here we go...

1- what happen 2- why did happen 3- what will be different?

1.) What happened? I caved. I gave in to life's pressures and allowed myself to believe that I was weak and I could continue my journey without my families support, without this group, basically without anyone's help.

*edit* Let me add to this that I acknowledge that I made the decision to cave. No matter what reasons you come up with, it all boils down to the conscious choice I made.

2.) Why did it happen? As I said before, I allowed myself to give in to life's pressures. As I started to get weak, I shut out those who reached out and tried to help me. I made it a few more days, but without support, we all know what happens.

I don't want to sugar coat things, I take complete ownership of what I did, I was weak and pathetic and let all the temptations drive my life instead of myself.

3.) What will be different? I fully intend to let my wife, family, and friends walk with me on this journey as well as the group. At the end of the day, I know that only I can take the steps, but with their(and the December 2012 Quit group) support, I can have the strength to go on.

So there you have it. I'm weak, pathetic, I caved. I apologize again to the group and the community and expect to take plenty of heat for caving. I only ask that at the end of the day you give me the chance to earn your support back. I will fight as hard as I possibly can to prove to you all that I am no longer weak.

Michael, glad your back! Just a couple questions and suggestions. We're you involved with the site much beyond posting roll? How many #'s did you have? I suggest you immerse yourself into paying forward the support you receive. Get as many #'s of fellow quitters as possible and use them. Lastly make posting roll Early everyday a top priority. I'm going to make a judgement that you have returned with humility and I'll make the offer to trade #'s pm me if you want to. Don't let your group or any of us down again.

^^^^ what WT said, especially the part about expounding on the details of your involvement at KTC during the failed quit. I'm betting you did little more than post roll?

Question #3 is the one that still needs a little attention. If having a family behind us during a quit was all it took, KTC would be out of bidness. Just say'n....

I quit with you today

Hey everyone. My name is Michael and IÂ’ve been dipping for almost 8 years now at about a can a day. IÂ’ve tried quitting before, but always found a reason to give up my quit. Well, no more, after reading through the site for the last couple days I believe, no, I know I can do this! IÂ’ve been dipping a little over a can a day since I started and I just canÂ’t bear to do it anymore.

I know this wonÂ’t be an easy task, but I know I can do this. Thanks for your support.

Welcome Michael,

You've come to the right place to make this happen. Read as much as you can. You will quickly find that you're not alone. We are here to support each other and save our lives.
Learn how to post roll and do it every day. It's the most important thing we do here (besides not stuffing shit into your face).
You can do it, we can help you.

PM me if I can be of any help.


Brian

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Day 1 is now over (thankfully) and look forward to moving in to Day 2 and beating this thing one day at a time... Will be sure to post roll call tomorrow morning!

[xrmattaz]

What they said....welcome aboard!

[shortround]

Welcome to your new part-time home recon and congrats on the best decision you can make. Glad to have you here. Post your role, grab your sack and hold on tight.

You got this..

[andrew]

Welcome to the boards. Ditch the dip, post role, and start sucking. It's going to be shitty, but it is well worth it. Kick the nic bitch out and start owning your life. You deserve not to be a slave to the nicotine.

[Ready]

Welcome.

Give your word.

Keep it.

Check your (Inbox 1) upper right corner of your screen.

Welcome Michael, congratulations on the best decision you've ever made. I'm sure you'll be contacted by one of the mods soon with some instructions of how to go about your quit. You can do this, we'll all help. Head over to the April Quit Group and post role. Role is your promise not to dip today, if you're a man of your word (and we all expect that you are) then dip is off the table for you the rest of the day. Wake-up tomorrow and repeat - simple as that.

Holler if you need anything.
