I haven't been here long but you know I agree that if you join this site to quit then follow the rules and post roll everyday. I understand the importance of it now. It's much more than simply just adding your name to a long list....its making a vow to yourself and your brothers that you will be honest and stay nic free for that day. With that core value driving it, I can see how those who don't put in the time post or take it seriously is kind of like a slap to their fellow brothers who DO put in the time and commitment. I will tell you all now that I will do my part and stay true.
That being said, what's the deal with all these people saying "adios" and "I'm out of here"?? That's not what hard core quitters do is it?
STC-This thread may have not been the most productive, but maybe it received attention for a reason.
Nobody is going anywhere--- idol threats--- you can't get enough of this place-----even when you say "your gone" you still need to see how people respond to that statement.
We all need this place for a reason! This is a great place to quit! It feels fucking wonderful to be quit! It feels GREAT knowing that there are others who have you back who are going through the same things as you!
I will quit with you today!

This ain't the first time I've seen this and it won't be the last. Don't let someones piss party affect your quit. Just keep plugging away at your quit, one day at a time. Take what you need and leave the rest....
Waketech is correct. Look at the numbers on this thread. 1285 views so far. That's a significant and much-needed distraction to struggling quitters. The plan is working. 'na na'
I have intentionally steered clear of this thread the last couple days, because the name calling and arguing are not for me. I'm like Diesel - I get personally caught up in everything. I don't have temperment middle ground. My only means to survive is try to offer brotherhood to everybody. I'm not an internet tough guy as some members here have been called. With that said, I understand the guys who are. I completely accept and welcome them here because they make us stronger as a group. Why? Because there are other hardasses out there who have not yet quit, and that is what it takes to draw them in. I'm not on the "touchy-feely" side either. If the site were 100% on either side of the spectrum, it would become real boring.... real quick. This place is no-holds-barred for the most part, and that's why it works. There are complete assholes here. There are pastors here. The guys who built this house had it figured out. That has been proven to me many times since I've been here, so there's no question in my mind. It is reccomended to "take what you need, and leave the rest". I'll take some quit and take some brotherhood. I'll leave the rest.
You wanna be an internet tough guy? I'll quit with you.
You wanna be a hardass? I'll quit with you.
You wanna be a pansy? I'll quit with you.
You wanna be a part of the brotherhood? I'll quit with you.
You paddle your end of the canoe and I'll paddle mine.
I've got your back if you need help. I expect the same from all of you.
Quit on....
