I'm 25. I bet at my age you were stuffing your face full of tobacco.
See how stupid that sounds?
We all used nicotine, we were all slaves. You are not "better" than anyone here just because you used for less time. I understand you're defensive stance, but you disrespected this place that we all hold dear. Caving is taboo here. You came back asking to be a part of the house of quit again, don't come running your mouth about how you're going to "do it your way". You want to do it your way? Leave. You want to do it our way? Then suck it up and show some respect to the people you disrespected by abusing the system (everyone here).
Nicotine addiction is life or death. Piss on those that are fighting for life here and you're going to get backlash. The frustrations voiced here are well deserved after your fuck up, and we need to make sure that you are serious this time. Take it, shut up, and post roll to show us that you want to be a part of the brotherhood. Keep fighting back and you're going to end up like the countless other special butterflies who took that approach - slaves to the can, destroying their lives.
I hope this levels out man, I really do. But you need to educate yourself here and understand where we are coming from.

I can take a verbal ass beating, I'll be the first one to acknowledge it's granted for my past caves.but from worthy gents I quit with and who had my back when I was weak etc.. But as a man I wouldn't go bash someone's head in like a coward who I never took the time to ask me how's his quit going or reach out to him.i have to be a punk bitch to talk shit to a man with enough balls to show his face after he caved.. Now I would get a hold of his contacts through pm and have em express my disappointment and frustrations and year his ass a new one a
Through yhe worthy gents who deservingly so can bash the caver in!!! So if we never communicated or helped each other out or exchanged contacts numbers please go about it maturely and properly..and waste that time to reach out to a more worthy brother who hasn't pusses out and cave before and so if he ever does u will be granted rightfully so to tear him a new one!! Common sense gents were all men here!! To call me anything less then a man if I don't know u personally through this "temporary" stoppages I've had and never heard from u during the stoppage says!! Your certified bitch!!! Go waste that message reaching out to a quiter in need!!!
I'm quit today!! I been there done it!! But failed!! I may not be able to do everything but I will do something and that something is being quit day by day!!
It's not about the dunk. It's about the journey...the surrendering...
You are quit today.
For that, I'm glad and happy for you.
Everybody has the right to be quit. However, the "right to quit" does not equate to the "willingness to quit". Hell, I can't even define in days what the "right to quit" is, but quitting is mere moment in our lives. It's a decision, and it's backed up with our actions.
A quit starts with one decision. It's one moment. It's a light bulb coming on.
But that moment passes, and we find ourselves in the present. Then that moment passes and we are yet still in the present. You see, what I'm getting at is that your decision to be quit has passed. The goal now is to keep you quit.
We do that by learning from our mistakes.
You've been here twice already. You made it a whopping 50 days before failing. You came back for a 10 day vacation a month later. This is now your third time here. You've started it off by telling off anybody that confronts you. You've missed multiple days of roll. You show up to fight. Sir...you haven't learned shit.
Posting a day 1 here is like being baptized. It's our chance to denounce the nicotine devil and all her works. It's that moment that we declare our quit, and accept our position in this battle. It's a shedding of our past, and our rebirth as badass quitters. It is a beautiful, scary moment that passes very quickly.
But, like my quote says above, it's not about the dunk.
Quitting is not about that moment. It's a great memory, but that's all it is. No...quitting is every moment since that time. When did I quit? June 28, 2011. I've been quitting every moment since for 1,120 days. And quitting here at the KTC requires just a little more than regarding our personal quits. It means that we have to watch others' quits as well. Their brotherhood will lead to our success. When a new quitter "gets it", you can see the excitement in their posts. They might struggle on occasion with their quit, but the you don't see their faith in this program falter.
When I see you give a middle finger to the 3 questions, that tells me that you aren't there. You still believe that quitting is just a dunk in the water. You aren't there, and I don't know if you ever will be. That's up to you. Quitting is your right, but I don't see you willing to do EVERYTHING in your power to be there. I see you holding onto doubt, and it's sad. Maybe you need to go elsewhere. We can't hold this quit for you, but we can help.
You can do this. Let go. Surrender. Quit.
