Going to be honest. Lately the fuck it thoughts have been stronger than ever. I have thought of and began to fade off and it would be a matter of time before I started again. That I am 100% certain on

In a call with Kramer yesterday he phrased it quite well...

It does leave the door wide open to compliancy. I have stood firm 535 days, missing ONE WON'T HURT. That is addict speak if I have ever heard it.

I am trying to find a reason to be here. Ktc is what you need when you need it. I am finding a reason to need it harder and harder to find. Take what you need and leave the rest. That's what I am struggling with, at 535 days what I need is very different from what I needed at day 100.

I am going to continue to post roll, reflect, pray, and move forward one day at a time. Quit on quitthas
I couldn't agree more; your reasons at 535 are different than 100. The new quit crews need guidance from guys like you. I know early in our quits you, Kramer, Norm, et al kept me on tilt...which is exactly what I needed. Stay, Post, and keep guiding new quitters.

At day 100 it was about Candy alone, now you have the power to helps hundreds quit every year!

Thanks for everything!!
I'll give you a reason candy, Me and 1000's more have learned the true meaning of quit from you and we were reminded numerous times quitting ktc is not an option. If you're looking for some coddling, I'm trying to find a quitter you coddled, its not happening! Now as far as everyone liking you on here,who gives a shit, stay quit and don't you ever let anyone tell you that you're nothing less than one badass son of a bitch of a quitter! To hell with the rest ,in my book you're one of the best! Quit on my friend and I look forward to seeing your post for many years to come!
Dipbegone, Pab and Jack I am not going anywhere today or tomorrow. It is a daily promise and I will continue to post as long as I can.

I am not looking for velvet gloves or special treatment. Just documenting it for people to know that they aren't alone, and the path is clear.
Whoever this Kramer guy (and I hope he reads this) needs a good ol' fashioned homer simpson to Bart neck choke.

"it is harder to post roll the further into the quit you go. Why? Because you know that 1 day missing isn't going to be the end of the world."

I totally agree, this is pure addict speak, and frankly its just plain asinine. A statement like that comes from somebody who hasn't learned a thing about quitting. I don't care if that person is at day 1,000 ...saying that posting roll is not imperative or (basically) "optional" tells me that said person is a pre-caver; meaning at any given point they could cave because they didn't care enough to make a promise.

For anyone out there reading this, if you learn anything about quitting, take away one thing. Post roll every day. The second you let your resolve and vigilance slip, is the second you compromise everything. Remember: posting roll is posting a promise for you. If you stop caring about you, then all is lost. Everyone who depends on you being quit, depends on you caring enough about yourself to post roll every day.

To the Quitters of the United Months of KTC

Today - a day which was like any other - Quitters were suddenly and deliberately attacked by craves and mind games of Nicotine.

The quitter was at peace with nicotine and, at the solicitation of our own egos, was still in conversation with nicotine and its bitch looking toward the maintenance of peace in our lives.

Indeed, one hour after the Nic Bitch had commenced low whispers in our mind, she and her colleagues delivered to the quitter a series of subliminal messages to the ego of the quitter. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing level of accountability, it contained no threat or hint of a full on attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of the quitter from KTC makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Nic Bitch has deliberately sought to deceive the quitter by false statements and expressions of hope for continued fleeting thoughts of dip.

The onslaught has caused severe damage to Brotherhood of Accountability. Very many quits have been lost, to those not vested. In addition, Many quitters in many different months have reported cravings and thoughts between many different quit dates.

Yesterday, the Nic Bitch also launched an attack against May 15.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked October 14.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked December 12.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked March 13.
Last night, the Nic Bitch attacked November 15.

This morning, the Nic Bitch attacked March 16.

The Nic Bitch has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the United Months of KTC. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The quitters of KTC have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very success and accountability of our brotherhood.

As a brother to all quitters, I urge that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the Quitters of KTC in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe the will of the brotherhood when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the utmost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall be overcome.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our quitters, our brotherhood and our success are in grave danger.

With confidence in our brotherhood - with the unbounded determination of our quitters - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.
There are no circumstances in which using nicotine will improve the outcome.

The thing that has gotten me this far is not an abbirivation, but living up to my promise. Being a man of my word, following through every single day. Nothing harder than being able to look in the mirror and not respect the person looking back. I have grown to respect the person looking back more than ever.

There is only thing that matters to me making it to the next +1. In the end, all that alphabet soup is meaningless, unless I am here to give them meaning.

Thanks for everything Candy. I could not have gotten here without the support and guidance you have bestowed along the way. You are one badass quitter and I'd go to quit battle with you in my corner every day of the week. Congrats on the 5th floor, you've earned every ounce of it.
