I just found the perfect analogy (video) for all these blowhards who claim to have dip controlled or want to argue the fact they are not addicts and the guys here who fight our addiction openly every day are slaves

This is what happens when you Tempt the Bitch or think you have all the answers and can fly solo.

Keep your guard up.

Day 519

ItÂ’s lawn mowing season in Texas and that means a lot of time for the bird to think. TodayÂ’s topic is pack or group dynamics. I can see the yawns already.

We, the quitter of KTC, are the herd of buffalo, gazelles, whatever you want. The nic bitch is the predator lurking to snatch some new or weak quitter away. ItÂ’s happened too many times here. New guys charge about with their new found quit and theyÂ’re not paying attention and ka-pow the bitch snatches them.

This could very well happen to an older quitter who isolates himself, starts to feel heÂ’s no longer part of the herd or anyone misses him or just mails it in.

No one here is an island to himself. Get lines of communication open early and keep them open. Do not isolate yourself. If youÂ’re feeling down, get on live chat and vent or dial up one of those numbers. Asking for help does not mean you are weak. It actually proves you are smart enough to see you canÂ’t do this on your own.

Learn how to identify the tricks the nic bitch is going to use on you during your pre Hall training. Hit the hall and put those skills to use by helping new guys along the way and encouraging the old goats every now and then too.

ItÂ’s the pay it backward and forward principle.

Class dismissed Â…..
Cbird,
Thank you, those are intelligent words.
I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.

You don't have to be the fastest or the smartest gazelle in the pack, just not the slowest or dumbest. The nic bitch always claims those.
You just made part of my signature! I like it!

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
