370
Well here I am a little over a year in. Only 25 more to break even... :angry: 26 years of stupidity....ah well....one day at a time right?
Latest observations of KTC :
The ranks of badass quitters continues to grow. I see guys like JakeFrawley, Applejack, and Erussell all over the site. Not missing roll, encouraging new quits, and being involved. The importance of those 3 things cannot be overstated early on. Posting roll is sacred. If you aren't taking it seriously, then you aren't taking your quit seriously and damn sure aren't taking other people's quits and support seriously. Early on being aggressive is the way to go. I applaud the guys I mentioned above and anyone else fitting this mold. Your chances for success significantly outweigh the guy who misses roll 3 times a week and doesn't have any sort of personal relationship with any fellow quitters.
I see the usual BS about quitting tomorrow. I see the the BS excuses about computers being broken, being out of town, everyone here is a dick and unsupportive, forgetting to post etc. Fuck all that noise. Man up and quit the way we quit here or else go somewhere else. I don't discourage anyone from quitting in their own fashion - somewhere else. Want to reinvent the wheel? That's great - do it elsewhere. You want to quit here? Have the respect that every other quitter on this site deserves and get with the program. There is no doubt KTC can be crude, gruff, rude, insensitive, unsympathetic, hardass, and downright nasty at times. If that isn't for you then find an alternative location because it is what it is. You know what else it is? Supportive. Accountability driven. There are people here that I will NEVER meet that I call friends. People I KNOW I can count on to help me with anything I need if it's within their power.
The site is growing by leaps and bounds. I can only imagine what a guy like Franpro or Loot thinks when they look at all the new names here. At 370 days I'm a newbie to them just like a guy posting day one is a newbie to me. It's hard to keep track of everyone, you aren't gonna know everyone. I missed getting to know a whole group of fantastic quitters like WMcatty, IZphillister, Halldogau, Spartanron, etc. I'm aware of their presence though. I'm aware of the good they do here. I've spoken briefly to a couple of em in chat. Point is, guys like this strengthen my quit because I know they are in my corner even if I don't know them. I know if I'm in a tight spot who the go to guys are even outside of my circle (which is large).
As always there is a standing invitation to ANY quitter that wants to swap phone numbers. PM me if you want another contact. New guys be forewarned I have zero tolerance for missing roll ESPECIALLY if you have my number b/c then I know you could have texted me and I could've posted for you.
Last but not least :
"The suck" was the 26 years I spent dipping before liberating myself through the pages and people here at KTC and not the first 3 days of my quit. Own your quit folks not the other way around.
