There is a troubling conversation happening in one of the quit groups. IÂ’m not going to name anybody or the group; if youÂ’re that interested go find it on your own. Lots of drama, and a lot of issues are hitting the fan; but one issue in particular is quite dire and if there are people here that donÂ’t find this concerning, then maybe this whole quitting thing isnÂ’t for you. That issue is posting roll. Apparently there are some that believe this to not sacred and half-assing the roll posting is acceptable. IÂ’m going to say strait up, it is not acceptable and if you think that way, then you are wrong.

The following is an excerpt from the conversation I was reading. I hope it irks you as much as it did me.

Idiot: I don't post unless I am at work and I don't work on the weekends. I post when I want and how I want and that will never change. You should feel blessed that I make my daily appearance M-F and if I get a little bad weather or go out of town than I'm not posting.

About a year ago, I made a similar post about the value of posting roll, because there were people in my quit group beginning to trail off. In that post I stated what posting roll meant to me and why it is paramount. At that time, I said:

Posting roll, for me, has become more than a simple promise, itÂ’s a creed and a gracious act. It tells my fellow brethren that:
1) I promise to be quit today
2) I care about you being quit today
3) Thank you for saving my life

Hopefully after reading this post you agree with me and not the idiot. DonÂ’t be the idiot. When it comes to nicotine addiction, the idiot loses.
Posting roll is the bare bones, minimum, essential step in our quits man. It's simple...yet sometimes it's not easy.

You won't find too many people disagreeing with you. To be quit means that you have to work to be quit.
Who could possibly disagree with Steak on this? I thought posting roll was the price of admission and I disagree with the statement that it's sometimes not easy. I guess if you are in a coma or something, but otherwise I would say it is 100% easy and simple.

I guess they can just remove his name from roll as stated and his "punishment" for missing weekends is he has to add his name back AND keep track of his days quit. LOL
I might know a thing or two about this conversation...

Fortunately, I think most folks know which way is right and which way is dead ass wrong. Posting roll is a non-negotiable privilege. It is the cornerstone of any healthy quit, and serves as the basis for others to entrust their quits with you.

When you treat posting roll as a tedious, menial chore, your quit soon becomes a tedious, menial chore. It doesn't take much advance scouting to figure out what happens next.

Glad there are guys like you here to keep the reality checks coming, Steak.
We are having a discussion in Dec '15 about roll posting and adding our names to the 200 list. I know this is different than daily roll and roll is an essential act for promising your group you are quit.
That "brotherhood" reaches out when you do not post. That is the first indicator there might be an issue. I have to post roll and keep myself cognoscente of
my addiction. I can read in some of the feedback in that '15 discussion there are doors opening for bailing on posting everyday. Seems like we will soon lose a couple more quitters post HOF
Great topic Steak. And as always thanks for the support.
