HAPPY THANKSGIVING! THANK YOU KTC TO PROVIDING A WONDERFUL MEDIUM FOR QUITTING.
DAY 144 OWN YOUR QUIT, FEAR IS WEAK
YOU HAVE TO OWN IT, KTC IS THE MEDIUM and IT'S FUCKING AWESOME IF YOU DECIDE TO USE IT
KTC provides a wonderful medium for quitting and quitters. KTC has a proven method, it has great information available, it has resources and tools and it has many dedicated individuals that can help guide you to the freedom from nicotine. It's still up to you to follow the method, read the information and use the resources. It's through your actions and/or non-action that determines whether you quit, stay quit or educate yourself on nicotine. KTC has helped fuel many powerful quits but it's those individuals who have put the time in that get the most out.
KTC is a integral part of why I'm still quit and it will remain a part of my quit for the foreseeable future and I'm thankful a site like this exists. I rely on that daily promise, it means something to me, that daily promise has help me remember that the decision was already made- a decision to stay nicotine free for that day. Being back home for Thanksgiving I've been out drinking with my brother and friends and the bitch nicotine was prevalent everywhere, I had craves, but in my mind I told myself I made a commitment today to not use nicotine so it's not even an option. I can't tell you how many times I've had that internal conversation in my head but this week traveling back home for the holidays, it's happened almost daily. And I can tell you that I'm extremely thankful that I'm not sneaking off to stuff my face with rat poison to get my fix.
FEAR MONGERING- IT'S WEAK
This is about being QUIT but a good parallel would be religion. You have folks all over the spectrum- those that aren't believers and those radical religious fanatics. Just because someone isn't a 'churchgoer' doesn't mean they are any less of a "Christian". To assume that is to pronounce your ignorance.
There's been a lot of activity on Srans Intro page about him leaving KTC. It's a good read with a lot of passion. On the one hand you have people thanking him and wishing him well. On the other hand you have the "if you leave KTC you'll be damned, only by staying will you be saved!". FUCK THAT- that is nothing but FEAR talking. There's only one thing that controls whether you are quit or not- and that's you. And everyone is different. Quitting/staying quit and KTC are not mutually exclusive.
The act of attending 'church' doesn't make you any more 'Christian' than the next guy. The physical act of attending 'church' isn't going to 'save' you, nor is the act of not attending 'church' going to mean you are damned. 'Church' is a great place to build a foundation and understanding- it's a great place for 'lost souls' to find direction, be educated and be shown 'the right path to take' but it won't walk that path for you. And the number of times you 'attend' church doesn't innately make you a 'better' Christian. SAME GOES FOR QUIT.
Logging onto KTC and posting roll does not provide quit through osmosis. KTC does not make you quit, KTC will not make you stay quit, KTC does not educate you on nicotine- KTC only provides what you are willing to earn. People have quit nicotine before KTC and people will quit nicotine after KTC, and people can remain QUIT after KTC. KTC makes it easier to quit if you are willing to follow the method, read the information and honor your word. KTC is a great platform on which to build confidence and understanding, and to help quit but it comers down to you- it always comes back to you and your decisions.
Here's another revelation: BIG TOBACCO didn't put any cat turds in your mouth so quit fucking blaming BIG TOBACCO on your fucking problem- try looking in the fucking mirror instead. NO MATTER WHAT, IT COMES DOWN TO YOU and YOUR DECISION.
A true test of character isn't doing the right thing when everyone is watching, it's doing the right thing when no one is watching. Understanding your responsible for the consequences of your actions because you control your actions.
Addiction is a scaring thing, so fear mongering is understandable. Protect what has helped you stamp down your addiction. KTC has helped many, but it only helps those who help themselves. The beauty of KTC is also all the dedicated BAQs that stick around and continue to help others walk down the path of quit. I'm thankful today for KTC and the folks to help make this a great place to quit.
Quit with you all today and thank you to the folks that put this site together and poured their time and energy into making a great place for people to learn to quit and stay quit.
Quit on fuckers. Quit on.
