Congratulations Spencer. Staying quit through heinous shit in life is not easy, but here you are at 100. Enjoy the day and keep up the good quit.

[slinger]

Congrats on hitting the hall.

[SAM83]

Keep it up Mr. 91!

SpencerF - Day 80 - I need a crash course in using a forum.

Seriously after 80 days??

[Emulator]

To those who disagree with my previous comments, like I said its my two cents. I do not support SpencerF actions. I agree with everyone who is upset with him. I disagree with the tantrums and beating of your chests. If the guy can not answer a few reasonable questions to our April Quit group then revoke membership until he does.
Keep Calm and Carry On. It's not worth the anger some of you are displaying.

USCG77- I understand your feelings. I learned early one that it is not anger that drives the comments ... it is rage invoked by nicotine.

It is anger Emulator and it damn well should be, your brother is pissing all over the accountability and integrity that KTC demands. He is not the first and certainly not the last. A brother you've been walking the road with and you guys are coming up on your HOF month, you just don't want to believe that he may have either lied to you or failed the group and himself.

He obviously has not made any great effort to right this ship and probably won't, be it shame or just plain not wanting it bad enough. The most important thing is to not let it take you down as well, band together with your brothers that post everyday.

Quit on!

What he said ^^^^^

Get ANGRY. DEMAND more.. If this person truly is your brother then he is not only pissing on you by ignoring you, but you need to do all you can to help him.

Don't always confuse getting angry with nic rage. You gotta stop pinning every thing on nicotine. Getting angry at someon you care about is a natural emotion. One that someone who hadn't touched nicotine a day in his life would feel.

You get invested in people around here. Don't be afraid to get some passion going and light some ass up, if you think one of your investments is about to derail. It may be the only way to get it back on track.

Quit on... [/

Spencer, remember that "proving you want to be here". You are being asked a simple question by a lot of people (here and in your intro), and are evading it like a child. Answer it and you'll have a whole lot of people off your back.

This won't go away.

I have answered it and I have not had a dip since my quit day 2014/01/10. There have been days when I have wanted one but have resisted the urge.

Cleaned out the bottom in my locker at work and found two old full tins went and dumped them in the garbage in the lunch room. Also found 4 pressure gauges, 8 pieces of pipe, random unions, pipe wrenches, tubing fittings, 3 rolls of ducttape. Now I know my locker is cleaned out of any leftovers and now I know what tools I have in there.

I am working nights tomorrow. I will be on around 9:30 after my rounds are done and everything is running smooth. Might also be on around noon when I wake up.

From the April roll call.

We all are familiar with our own addict minds. It's pretty reasonable to want an answer. I know what it would mean if I didn't answer.      Until confirmed otherwise, the safest assumption is the bad news is true. The question is, are you gonna nut up and deal with the situation or run from it? 

Everybody's waiting......

He has 56 posts for 70 days of quit. I don't think he is sticking around to read much of ANYTHING!

I wish you the best of luck on your quit Spencer......it just seems like a recipe for a cave.

Am I the only one here who just wants an answer to if he caved or not and the reason why if he did?

Forget the arguing. If one caves, explaining why to the group is an expectation. Otherwise, we'd all join hands and sing kumbaya without caring that someone caved.

Is the purpose of KTC to provide support for those wanting to quit or is KTC a forum to vent and say things most would not to each other face to face. I get posting roll. I also understand things happen. Not posting roll or checking in for 3 weeks honestly should not be acceptable at all. Start from day one and knock it out of the park. For everyone else I ask "Did his not posting for three weeks disrupt your life?" Probably not, so quit acting like you lost your way because of his not posting roll. I am confident at 80 Days that I will never dip again. I keep getting on here to post because I support my group. Seeing grown men argue is sad and frankly not worth it.

Spencer, life happens. I hope your friend is okay and life is back on track. KTC has only one requirement. POST ROLL. Missing a day here and there especially with all our BUMP happy brother seem not right but tolerable. I am guilty. Three weeks regardless of the reason is in all fairness not acceptable. Please join the newest group and post Day 1. That will help KTC maintain its accountibility and standards.

The idea is to keep encouraging our brothers and sisters while maintaining the KTC standard. For everyone here at KTC, I do not see any reasons to play games or curse to no end.

There is my two cents for whatever it is worth. I am not the web master or admin but feel this is a more acceptable way of handling these types of issues.

As far as I know, the purpose of being here is both to find support AND a place to vent.
But I was not riding Spencer just to vent, I was riding him because he is making lame excuses for his addictive behavior, and he has not stated whether or not he chewed (though there is no doubt in my mind, I would still be curious what he said).
"Did his not posting for three weeks disrupt your life?" - NO, but then again, you are the person stating that "Seeing grown men argue is sad and frankly not worth it." Who is being overly sensitive? You can't handle arguments and strong language? So I guess we should all walk around on egg shells around you, and don't yell at poor Spencer, he of the difficult job, and who visited his ailing friend on a different planet without internet.
