Okay. This is the last time I say anything here. I promise. I only bump this thread for new quitters, or those "planning" to quit to see where that "plan" actually leads since we are in fact on November 1st now. This thread didn't do any good for the one who created it, but maybe it can do some good for someone else. Here's the summary for those who don't want to read the entire exciting saga...
1.) Pilgrim, the person who started this intro page, came here planning to quit over a month from the day he showed up: November 1st.
2.) After some encouragement, he bumped his "planned" quit day to October 1st. (Bonus trivia question: Q.) What's the difference between a planned quit day that's 5 years away, and one that's 5 minutes away? A.) Nothing. You're not quit until you're quit.) Anyway, as you might imagine, he didn't show up on October 1st.
3.) I decided to check here today just on the Hail Mary chance that our man Pilgrim would be here and posting. Not so. In fact, he hasn't even logged in since the 26th of September. I wonder if he even remembers coming here. As of my posting this, I *guess* he technically has 7 hours left before it's the 2nd...but come on. 'no'
The moral of the story: Quitting does not require "planning" any more than taking a leak does. You lift the lid, you put in the nasty stuff, and you pull the handle.
If you're on this site and want to quit, then quit! Now is the best time.
