How do quit groups get names?

What is the precedent for signing roll for classes before your own, as a thank you for support, or is this frowned upon. I have seen very few instances of someone from an earlier class signing roll with a previous group, but I have seen a few. I would like to do it as a symbol of my support in their fight, as they have supported me. I feel like I need to demonstrate my resolve with my own group at first, but is there a point when it would be acceptable to the veterans to have a newbie post roll alongside them?
Stay close, stay strong, stay quit!

Don't worry I haven't caved and I won't.

I have been quite ill. It's taking alot out of me to type this. If anyone would like to call my work phone that would be easier to explain everything - I started back today - maybe I shouldn't but who's gonna pay the bills? 863-462-5114. That way someone can update what has happened. Keep me in your thoughts. It got to where I had to be in ICU. The news I was told wasn't by least the worst but it still hit me and my family hard. I actually wanted a dip sooooooo badly in the hospital. I cried because no one would buy it for me, I just said screw it and then I thought how could I let you all down. 

My cellphone needs a new battery. I had called a few during my stay when I was at my lowest and even though I only received your voicemail hearing your message somehow calmed my inner soul.

I love each and every one of you! I'm not sure if chewie could set up a link about my ordeal/illness and maybe those who can't call me could write some words of encouragement.

I'm not sure what lies ahead for me.
Forgive me but it's taken quite awhile to type this out. i am tired.

Don't tell yourself that you are quitting forever. Just say "I won't dip today." Get through today, and then say that again tomorrow.

Okay, so I didn't post roll all weekend because I was on a recruiting trip down in LR, AR. I used to live there for about 6 years and my best man still resides there. He offered me the couch and my recruiting budget is minute so I took him up.

We used to tear it up every night for the 3 years we lived together. Since leaving LR, I haven't done most of the stupid stuff I used to do. Dipping was the last thing that I had to give up and you all know how that is going.

So anyway, I get down there and the craves just whammied me. I had no craves on the 7 hour drive but when I saw my boy pack his fine cut, my mouth watered. I literally caved in my head about 100 times this weekend. To make it worse, I am fighting these internal demons to dip, drink and/or smoke and my boy keeps asking me if I want any. About the third time, I nearly punched him.

See, my boy is a train wreck. And as we all know, misery loves company. He knows that the crap he puts in his body is killing or going to kill him, but he says he can't quit because of his lifestyle. He's a pussy and knows it. He has already had two court mandated stints in AA. If I didn't know he was a wreck and trying to justify his actions by having me join him, I would have put my foot in his rear.

Fact is, I have been through hell and back with that dude, but the connection to all of the folks on this site saved my quit 100 times over the past 72 hours. So thanks for holding me accountable and The Coach is still QUIT!!!!
