Now I am curious.....
"A. Don't shit on Mr. C"

Are you The Pied Piper of Quit? Does your support really matter all that much?
You think a whooole lot of yourself to assume the above statement is something that has weight.

Sorry... not trying to be an ass, bro but... just be a quitter.

Like we all are.

Assigning importance to yourself is silly.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

As far as I know anyone that I supported from day 1 and vanished, only to reappear, has not made it to the HOF again.

Those that reached out for more support on round 2, have made it and are still here.

So is the lesson here....
A. Dont shit on Mr C
B. Be humble, seek help and use the support
How humble is that?

I prefer:

1. Post Roll Every Day.

2. Keep your WORD.

3. Repeat.

No offense, candieass, but people have most success when the focus on those three things, and not so much when the are worried about who they are not supposed to shit on.


Im also not sure you should be so proud of the fact that your support for retreads resulted in those failure.

Not sure what your intended lesson was here, but I'll reference my three step approach as a retort of sorts.
Cando-

I think I get what you are trying to say. Let me take a stab at trying to reword it a little bit (as even I see it as a bit cryptic):

You have stuck around and have been successful in your quit. You, in your own way, have been giving back to others as you have, in your style.

You have looked to others and have reached out. For those who have accepted that and have reached back, are those that also gain the success. Those that do not reach back out, are the ones that still continue to fail.

It is definitely not personal, it is just the way that there are some who do not feel like opening themselves up to ask others for the help on a personal level. It will happen with so many people. Part of human nature I guess.

But I do look at what a wise Jackwagin said some years ago, and I apply it to a group both within Oct12 and some others, and that is "Be a friend". With those small words to heart, one can get far in his or her success here.

always shoulder to shoulder with you in this fight against nicotine and living the clean life. Be good, Be smart,

Day 4 today. The nicotine should be out of your body and now it's mind games. I saw a post you made in October and found it to be profound enough it should go in your thread to remind you how bad you want to be quit and just how much you hate this addition, later down the road. It was in reference to rdad's post of day 1.


( candoit's words to BCN23)
We own who we are, we do not ask to be judged, we do not turn away those who seek the support, we hold those accountable for their actions, like they requested by becoming a member.

Life is about choices, I made the choice to quit, and I will make that choice to quit every single minute of the rest of my life. Why because I choose to pick up a tin, instead of cigarettes. That is the choice I made 11 years ago. I am enough of a fucking man to stand by my choices, and ask for support. I am not asking for forgiveness for my own bad choices, I am seeking to forgive myself.

When you rush to the defense of those who broke the KTC law, it insults everyone that follows the law. This does not work because it contains shades of gray in which the weak, feabable minded people can hide behind broken promises to say to the world I am a member, therefore I am doing something to quit. This is built on the premise that it is black and white. Either the nic bitch is bending you over her knee and spanking you like the NY Giants do every time they play the pats, or your spanking the nic bitch like Regan spanked the Cremlin.

Do me a favor and save your sunshine, and rainbow bullshit for someone that believes your cheese whiz ass smells like roses. I know I used a lot of big words and accurate historical facts that will not be believed or validated by Wikipedia or yahoo questions. I may be a quitter but I can think for myself. Do you know what that makes me? A fucking Titan of Quit.
I never checked the accuracy of this post. The refernce wasnt RDad but BCN23 which Rdad quoted. I am sorry for that RDad
No worries Candyman. I do like sunshine and rainbows though. As long as they aren't being showered on cavers!

Thank you everyone. 900 days....I never thought I would be here, I was excited for this milestone. The first one that I can remember being pumped for. I feel like I am actually moving forward in a good direction.

Dipbegone shared this with me yesterday:
This journey is a grind but you earn every number. 9 bills...from an active slave to a man who controls his own destiny. Thing of beauty.

That about sums it all up, very nicely
