It sounds like your complimentary post-cave public flogging has waned, SWJ. Welcome back to the fray, the circumstances of your return suck but hey, you are a human being after all. Hopefully none of us will repeat your mistake.

Also, to hell with the pissy, funny stories of the past -- the 'fro in the avatar absolutely rocks.
Yes, we're all human. We are free choose whether or not to stuff our face with poison. There is no excuse to ever ingest nicotine again. Don't ever shrug off a cave of a fellow addict. It won't do him any good, but, most importantly, it wont do you a damn bit of good. In fact, to use one of SWJ's phrases, it could wreck your shit.

The letters are a great idea. I keep the contract to give up my quit in my wallet, I have showed it to my wife and vowed to sign and give it to her if I ever cave. I take it out and read it every once in awhile, not as often lately but I still do. I need to know the level of commitment I have made sometimes, I know the day I forget I am an addict is the day I lose. No forgetting today, today we post roll, we honor our commitment, we win today.

Artist in the Ambulance
Quote
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone

Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
And I realize that empty words are not enough
I'm left here with the question of just
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
[Chorus:]
I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that there's
A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and

[Chorus]

Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance

[Chorus]

Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound

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

I haven't checked the Introductions page in over a month but today something drew me to it. The first Intro I looked at was yours. I came across your posts from the previous times and was invigorated by your refreshing and lucid honesty (not to mention your off-beat sense of humor and writing style).

We are all still here to help. Keep posting for yourself and others will definitely benefit as a byproduct.

Welcome back.

The letters sound like a great way to keep things in perspective, keep them close!

I appreciate the honesty and dont hesitate to pass on more knowledge, remember you beat this before and you Will beat it again.

Believe me, this is not posted here because I think I'm worthy to be giving advice.

I'm not. At least not right now.

I'm posting it here because I feel like it. And if it helps somebody else one of these days, I'll count myself lucky.

In between kicking my own ass for being a dick and feeling pretty good about renewing my commitment here, I came across something...

Three letters.

Each one folded neatly into a square and held together with one of those black, clippy things.

Without even unfolding them, I knew what they were.

One was a list of my reasons for quitting this shit. Really good reasons too.

One was a letter from my oldest son, begging me to stop chewing.

And the third was a letter from my little guy, imploring me to stop.

Unbelievable...

It is a mystery of the universe how a man could be as callous and selfish as I have.

What a colossal fuck-up.

I wish all this would have occurred to me before...

I wish I was smarter...

I wish I was less selfish...

Blah blah blah blah blah blah bullshit.

Here's my lesson to myself: Whatever it is - Whatever it takes to keep you straight...Keep it close.

There's a bunch of guys on here who already know this  I should have listened.

If I had listened, if I had kept My Reasons close, I wouldn't be going around again.

But I am - It is what it is.

Those letters are in my pocket right now.

When I woke up this morning, it felt like Day 5 was going to be like, 36 hours long.

Now it doesn't feel bad at all.

Believe me, I know the challenges aren't over.

But I intend to listen this time, to be accountable, and to keep My Reasons in my pocket.

The beauty of KTC is that you can pretty much say whatever the fuck you want.

There's only one requirement, you make your daily promise, and you stay QUIT.

You may display your badassery and awesomeness all you want.

But it don't mean shit if you're not maintaining your QUIT.

Glad you're back and that you've owned your cave, I'm quit with you today.

We Quit Like Fuck.
