@Makimi You don't quite get it my friend. We are all happy that you are still quit. However, your message may push a lurker into thinking they can put their quit off or that they can do it without help. Most that visit this site have been there, tried that, and FAILED. Myself included. Multiple times. If I saw your post on the day that I found the site, it may have been the out that I was looking for. An addict's brain is always looking for a way out.
Seems to me that the only reason you have to post your 3 year mark is to push it in our face. We are happy for you but what affect do you think that message may have on potential quitters? Do you think your ability to quit on your own is the rule or the exception?
Regardless of how you feel about individual members or comments here, this place exists to help people recover from a debilitating addiction. Your comments do nothing but undermine that process. Join, post roll, and pay it back...help others walk the path you have.
OR GTFO.
If you can't see that your comments are detrimental to the mission of this site, you are more than arrogant, you are sadistic.
PS- tell your buddy to look me up when he decides to quit. My phone number is ready for him to have and I look forward to helping him navigate a difficult time.
