Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

My personality is who I am, my attitude depends on who you are.

Quote from: braves360So it's been a long while since I have written in here and I thought it was about time.

I am now post Hall of Fame, all the "glory" is gone, the parades, the pomp and circumstance, all of it is over for me and my group of brothers. Now we face a new battle, well one that is new to us at least, complacency.

After 150 days of quit it's very easy to sit back and think, "I don't really need to post today, I've been quit this long and I know I'm not going back". Well let me tell you from experience, a brother with over 150 days of quit just caved. This comes shortly after a vet with 1800 days of quit. I could go on, but it'll just get depressing.

It is important to realize that at no point during this journey are you "cured" nor are you exempt from the callings of the nic bitch. She is a crafty whore who has many ways of drawing you back in, and as soon as you let your guard slip she'll be finding a way back in.

I guess I say this to pose a question to anyone that has caved and come back to KTC;

Is the price of dipping cheaper than the cost of quitting?
You're the man Josh! I too am curious what others who have caved have to say about this. Although I'm 100% sure of the answer.

I'm quit with you EDD brother!
Well said Josh... Well said.

Quote from: braves360I really found the second and third articles useful. Apparently I'm not alone in my OCD world.
Absolutely not. Someone said on here that many of the same tendencies that feed our addictions can foster OCD.... Gotta go realign the trash cans. See ya later
You mean not everyone aligns the bottles in the medicine cabinet from tallest to shortest? Labels out of course.
That's the way my liquor cabinet is anyway...
Did someone say Funk?
Whoa. Lots of color to the names in this thread. I just happen to like the Braves.

My medicine and liquor cabinet happen to be tallest to smallest and then alphabetical if there is a tie in height.

I have found that jumping in with a couple guys in both August and September have helped things immensely. I reckon it's time to start reinvesting into the enterprise that saved my ass.

What's the difference between a liberal and a puppy??? The puppy stops whining and shitting on everything when he grows up.

That would be CDO.

I found the best way to kill complacency is to buy in with the newest quitters. Pick a couple stragglers and trade numbers, start texting with them, help them out. It helps them tremendously, and if nothing else it will make you laugh as they try and post roll and remember how strong the suck and the fog is those first few weeks and the initial experience with heavy triggers.

Quit on.
The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

If its too much trouble to post roll call, you could always fuck off.
