Okay I'm going to take another stab at these three questions. I'm having to do this while driving and using Siri to dictate it so who knows how it will go.

Question number one. What happened? I travel for a living and I was alone on the road with an extra day with nothing to do. I got bored and I went and bought a can.

Question number two: Why did I choose to cave and take a deuce? I think this is a dip maybe? and why did I bail on everybody supporting me in the May 2013 class or something like that?

Last time I tried this I really did not understand what this website was about. I just thought that you went and posted roll to keep yourself accountable. Couple of guys gave me their phone numbers but I just did not feel comfortable calling strangers basically I really just wasn't that committed to what y'all do here. I realize now how important community and brotherhood is in this difficult journey. Both getting support from others as well as offering my support to others that are fighting this addiction.

Question number three: what am I going to do different this time to make sure I don't Cave?

Basically I'm going to be way more connected and involved in this process. I learned a valuable lesson last night in chat which by the way I could not get to work last time but it's working now. Anyway, last night while I was waiting on my wife to go to sleep so I could leave and go buy snuff I came on here to see if anything else had been said. I went into chat and started whining like a little wimp about how people on here were treating me and how I wasn't being supported blah blah blah blah blah basically I was fiening for a dip and acting like a jackass. Several guys in chat wore my ass out for about an hour. At first I thought they were just being jerks but then I began to realize those guys were fighting for me and my quit. I also realized that because of them I did not cave last night. I did not go and buy snuff. So big shout out and thanks bronc, Lours, and P 23 for last night. What I learned from this that I completely missed last time was the immeasurable value of support from others here. Going into chat last night saved my quit. I will continue going to chat as well as making any other connections I can. I got a phone number from a guy last night that I have been texting today. I can already tell how helpful that is going to be. I also realize now how vigilant you have to be about your quit. Not hoping I will make it. Not dreaming that it will really happen but being absolutely determined to make it happen. And that is what I am going to do.

Sorry I had to do this via Siri on my iPhone but I had no choice today. I apologize if the grammar and punctuation sucks. Anyway, I hope this answers the questions sufficiently and and opens the door for me to be in the October 2014 class.
Dude. You are WAY too polite.

Nice job, btw, and for the record. What you experienced is EXACTLY what this site is all about. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, you better check in with some of your brothers and get permission.

Well done.

And again, a deuce is not a dip, but now that you mention it, it could be considered a deuce.
O'Doyle rules.

Big Red, I did not own a cell phone before KTC, and the thought of chatting (texting, WTF, I don't know how) with strange dudes was unappealing. 4 months later I am a monkey with a new toy, everytime the Tigers get a hit I text someone.

My rambling point is that I have received texts out of nowhere on days that were bad. Jump in with both feet, and let's quit together.

If you got Bronc and P23 wearing you out in chat then you got 2 serious bad ass quitters helping you. I suggest you stay close to here and chat the next few days and get into this quit.
Agreed. Now take a real stab at the questions.

Ok, I get it now. I understand why y'all were so hard on me today. I just spent 30 minutes in chat bitching and whining about how shitty everybody here has been to me today. I was ready the entire time to bail out at any moment and go get a can but I didn't because I was too busy arguing with people and even though I didn't like what they were saying or the way they were saying it I realized that they were on my ass for a good reason. If it wasn't for them riding my ass so hard for bailing last time I would have a dip in right now. But I don't have a dip and I didn't cave for two reasons: 1. I was in chat and without realizing it at the time, just being there was actually working on my quit. 2. a bunch of people, mostly "bronc" and "p23", wore my ass out and made me realize how much and how hard I need to work to beat this addiction and how important reaching out for and seeking to give support is to my recovery as well as to the recovery of others.
Bigreddude44, I had the same issue. Just answer the questions! It isn't about anyone being assholes. I needed to be shocked and pissed. It made me look within and realize I needed this for me no matter what anyone said! Less go, pick ya self up, friggen answer the questions for these men, and your other group and les quit!!!
Big red, take another stab at the questions. It is obvious you weren't that involved while on your prior brief stint here. Whatever, you can't change that now. But use that when answering the questions to show that you have learned what this site is about and how you will use it to succeed. There is a clear formula, answering these 3 questions after coming on this site, giving your word, then caving, is part of that formula.

This is a leaning experience. These guys aren't beating you up just to be assholes. We're in the business of quit, and we take it seriously because it's life and death.
