240 days later I still get excited to see someone supporting me. I'm not where I want to be in my quit yet but it's damn sure getting easier. As I go around the site reading where guy's are upset with the mods and whatever on here, you need to remember why you are here! You're an addict just like me. Sure I was pissed when certain people got banned and started to leave but I thought you know the mods are humans just like me would I make decisions that 24,000 people will agree with? See what I'm trying to say is we will not agree with everything but it's got me 240 day's of freedom and I will support ktc for what it stands for! We all get butthurt from time to time, at work, home ,wherever but we don't quit! Damn glad to be quit here but my Dad taught me never give up on the things that you believe in and I believe whole heartedly in this site! Remember I guarantee you there's someone out there that needs your help with this daily struggle and if you walk away they may not ever quit! Quit on my brother's and sisters and thank you all for the support! Also remember what you were taught from the beginning take what you need and leave the rest!
Pab, you get it. You've always gotten it and I appreciate your perspective on the political picture that sometimes erupts here. Here's my take.
I'm passionate about quitting. There is no one more passionate than I. I'm not saying I'm the most passionate, but I'm as passionate as anybody here. Through my first year, I went through phases of "passion" one could say. I started off vocal, called out those I thought were pussies or disagreed with. I even called a few people out, some of which became my closest quit brothers. Then things shifted when the drama became like groundhog day to me. Same deal every time. Vocal quitter calls out pussiness (i.e. caving, cave coddling, poor roll activity, general douchebaggery, etc), gets in internet talking war, mods/admins get involved, concerns over other quitting sites ensue, then bannings follow. Whoopee F-ing do. This, bores me and it has nothing to do with the act of quitting. The act of quitting involves posting your promise, fostering accountability, and building your brotherhood. You do this for yourself and don't concern yourself with what the next guy/gal is doing. Sure, quitting addiction is an emotional and physical undertaking. It takes balls and fortitude. So, I get it when people get caught up in the drama...for a time, I did too. But it's stupid none-the-less. Post roll and quit nicotine. That's how you do it. Post where you want and with who you want. Banned or not it doesn't matter. Just quit nicotine.
