I received a text from a quitter, newer than me, but not totally green. It summed up to me that KTC: extreme, daily accountability, and brotherhood are not for everyone. He didn't cave, and I hope he doesn't, but his actions, which he felt the need to share, are exactly what success on KTC is NOT about.

Him: "I had 5 days this week in which I did not think about dipping at all. Didn't remember that I quit, didn't forget I used to dip, just didn't think about it at all. Not once. I'm proud of you. The hard part is behind you."
Me: "'The day you forget you're an addict is the day you lose -LOOT' Be careful"
Him: "Honestly I am sick of that kind of shit. You be careful.
Me: "I've posted 564 days in a row. You've posted 4 times in the last two weeks. Not posting roll and forgetting your an addict is not a good plan in my opinion. I take back "be careful". Good luck on your impending cave, maybe more accurate. Lose my number. You are not serious about quitting."
Him: "I never said I forgot I was an addict you self absorbed wind bag. I just said that I hadn't thought about it for a few days. How much I have or have not posted is not of your goddamn concern. I'm just not as inclined to define myself by my addiction and wear it like a fucking badge. I've watched you run over people on that site for six months and I'm sick of your shit. Two promises: I'll never cave and you number is fucking wind."
