Congrats on the year Ray! Good quit going on!
Damn proud to quit with you in Dec '15 brother. Keep takin' names and kicking the nic bitch's ass. Congrats on 1 year my friend!
WOW! I always knew that you would make it even when you didn't think you could! ;)
I'm proud to quit with you EDD Ray. Thanks for helping my quit!
Congratulations on a huge milestone sir!
Great quit DJ - great to see quitters like you who pave the way hit great milestones. Congratulations on winning every day for a year
Congratulations on the year buddy! Thanks for what you do here, I quit with you EDD!!
Great job on a year Ray
Congrats Ray! 1 year, man that's awesome!
Way to be DJ! You have fought as hard as anyone for this, Enjoy. You earned it brother. Well done. Keep going.
thanks folks.
But it is with great sadness that I must report that I am out. It has been a slice. I'll catch you all sometime. I'm not sure where or when but I will catch you all on the flip side.
No, I have not caved nor do I plan to. I got ruled out and don't appreciate it. What is good for one should be good for the other but in my case it was not. No harm no foul, I just can't stick around and condone it.
You all rock!! Stay quit my friends!
Look me up on facebook if you wish to stay in touch. I'm Ray Browell. I think my friends button might be locked out. if so, send me a pm request and Ill reply and all that.
Love each and every one of you and thank you all for everything you have done for me and my quit. And chickdip, thank you for being you! You are an awesome person and I am so glad I got to meet you. take care of yourself girly!
Gotta run. take care all. I'm out. Duces!!
I think this is the lamest thing I have read on this forum. I never expected it from you Ray.
Think about this - you are leaving over the way we maintain a spreadsheet. Those formulas can be adjusted and all of those "m"s can be treated like "X"s. They probably should have been treated like that a long time ago.
I take extra time to pitch in and work on the SSOA but I am not great at spreadsheet formulas. At the end of every month I start freaking out because I can barely figure out how to add days for the next month. I do it because we should know who shows up every day and who doesn't show up every day. You posted a complete year and then missed a day. It happens and it is not the end of the world.
We are not perfect here. We are addicts trying to stay quit. Throwing accountability out the window is not going to help you stay quit.
Dude. Seriously. Your bailing because of a spread sheet issue. Come on man. We have tracked you a couple times for posting like you have tracked others. It's accountability. It's why this place
works. You know that. Get your ass on roll today. I expect you to post a 369 today. One year and leaving is a bad recipe. Look at the guys in Dec '16 posting day ones after 4 and 5 years. Let's go
get in Dec '15 and post roll!!!!
Ray, I'm so glad to see you are staying. I'm in a text group with some BAQs, one of whom is Brettlees. Each of us has our own contributions to the group but Brett has really helped me by talking about healing and addict behavior. Ktc teaches us how to quit, no doubt about that. But quitting is just part of it. Frequently people replace nicotine with anger, booze, food, porn... Whatever... But true success comes about through healing.
I have tremendous respect for you, for TJ, bubba, my boy GB, for JGlav, for Stranger, for all of December.... I actually think you are one of the best groups on Ktc. But whatever happens, you do not let ANYTHING cause you to even consider or talk about abandoning your brothers. Nothing justifies that. Quitting is about you. Don't even consider talking about ditching relationships.
Pick up the tucking phone and hash it out man. Heal. You've quit, but there is more ahead. I know a year seems and sounds like a long time... But there is more healing ahead. I'm proud for you for seeing the error of your ways. Learn from this.
