I think it's essential to have a DISCUSSION thread for each quit group. Merging the threads into Discussion/Roll Call is a bad idea because so much seems to get lost into the fray.

We need both. Just my two cents.

I have a confession to make.

I never used dip.

Dip used me.

So good to be free.

Why would you want to do that?
The site has become more of a stress than a useful tool for me. After this, I will no longer be active here.
Has KTC forced you to go back to dipping with all the stress?
Take what you need.

Leave the rest.

All we ask is for you to post roll. If you need more help, the ask. If you don't, live. We quit because we want to.

What's so stressful about the site to you?
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

Sorry to hear that. Hope you stay quit.
Never heard that one before.
She got stressed out when held accountable. Now she gotta go cause of the "stress".
Because it's soooo stressfull to post roll once a day and keep a promise. 'no'
Those mean DEC 13 guys put me on the missing list at 5pm. And sent me PM's asking me if I was going to post roll. They so mean they stress me out!!!!!!
We're all a bunch if assholes over there. Especially Ron.
Yeah Ron, quit pissn off everybody. Why you gotta go all strict quit on every slacker. Lol
Sorry, I was missing my afternoon nap. I feel better now.

I'm a dumb shit for getting addicted, but I'm smart enough to know I need accountability in order to stay quit. Without it, I'd fail, plain and simple.

Are there no more discussions or discussion groups in the HOF groups?  All I see is roll call and no discussion....boring.
You talking in new groups?

We did an experiment last month with breaking out discussion / roll and it didn't take. Any suggestions?
I just thought I was missing something when I scrolled through page after page of just roll call in the quit groups and no discussion.
So what happened to all that Dec 13 stuff? Did you merge all that?
Yep. The 2 December threads (one for roll and one for discussion) have been merged into the current December 2013 thread.

This is something that we've been dealing with / struggling with for quite some time now.

Don't get me wrong... it's a GREAT problem to have. But the struggle has been with SO many people on roll on a daily basis, sometimes the "discussion" does get missed.

Comments? Suggestions? I'd love to have an open discussion about it. As we continue to grow it's going to become more and more of an issue.

Again... this is a great thing. And it's what sets us apart. We'll soon be hitting the 20,000 members mark (sometime in 2014 I'm guessing). And there's no reason to think we'll slow down anytime soon.

But that size does come with issues (TWSS). :)

Honestly... I love it.

Thanks in advance for your discussion...
I would suggest creating 2 groups for each month. They are huge which is good but it would be real hard to follow in the quit fog.
I can agree, having a seperate discussion group was great. I could post roll and then pop over to see what was going on. Didn't have to filter through pages and pages of roll before finding a post of a brother that needed help.
Yep. I like the discussion page. When you upwards 100 posting on roll call its hard to find any discussion. You have to basically scroll to Horst post to make sure you don't miss any thing.

I think two separate groups is a good idea as well. Makes it easier to find the discussions and not screw up roll.
