Been reading through some intros lately, good stuff. Totally awesome to see folks drink the kool aid right out of the gate. One thing that hit me as I was reading this morning and it reminded me of a post I made a few months ago (See below). Time. Quitting is a full time job. Sort of like breathing, if you stop you die. But unlike breathing we can make a conscious decision to stop quitting. The excuses are millionfold, we see them constantly in the intros or in the chat room.
How does one make quitting a full time endeavor? For me its pretty simple, I post roll, i think about quitting all the time, I look for cans in guys pockets, I look for turds in the parking lot, i look for spitters in the trash (well not like a dumpster diver but cans I can see into). I read on the site, there's always something new here, check out the chat room, keep track of some newbs, see how they are doing, provide some advice or not. Let em know that quitting is not easy but a fight worth fighting.
My quit started moving to part time. By that I mean I stopped posting roll, stopped thinking about my quit. Its easy to stay engaged and you really don't have to alter a busy lifestyle. I got two little kids under 4 and a busy job, there's little free time. But I use all the above ways to keep the quit in the foreground instead of the background.
