So many big swinging dicks in here it is amazing any Quit happens at all.
Obviously, he struggled with his quit the first half dozen times, but I understand why he took offense to the first thing said to him when he came in here.
Applejack - Who gives a fuck if you quit the first time? Congrats. Plenty of good men and women quit the second or the third. You are in no way superior to any of them for quitting the first time. If you think you are, then you are missing the point. If you want to be the bigger man, be the bigger man. Tell Broccoli why the reaction to what Thumblewort said was wrong, don't shit on him for being ignorant.
Broccoli - Awesome that you are here. I don't care that you failed before. Don't fail this time. Thumblewort pointed out a flaw in your thinking. Accept that, or be prepared to fail again. The addition of pointing out your previous attempts is the way to emphasize how you thinking led to your mistakes. Take it as constructive criticism. You have an addiction and you have a habit of losing to it. If you cannot accept that, you will be here again. Like I said before, come hang out in June. Give your number out. If you are mad and want to scream at something, find me! I can handle it.
Please stop recognizing my BSD. It is making the lesser among us feel uncomfortable.
It is like Highlander, we can sense each other, but there can BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!
For a little biography on my non-BSD features.... I promised myself almost every single day for about 25 years that "today I will quit." I threw out probably 2,000 or more half fullcans of kodiak, only to stop at the gas station first thing the next morning to buy another can. Every day I lied to and failed myself. In addition to the monumental BSD Referenced to and admired lovingly in this thread... I'm pretty, on paper, successful. I have a great job. Hot wife. I like to win, and I work to win. But every day for over 9,000 days I failed myself. Every day I worked to win, and yet there was a big pattern of fail at only one thing...
Until 1,664 days ago. That's when I found this place. I have my word, and I kept it. I cried, I shook with anxiety and fear, but I reached out to my brothers here on ktc, and together we won. My pattern of fail became a win together. I will not fail my team, haven't missed a day and won't.
My group started with iver 200 members. On a good day we now have 8. Retreads pop up now and then and we scream at them and smack them around, they need to recognize that their failure hurt our team. And that in order to come back the have to endure a well deserved hazing of sorts. Clearly the mindset that they had didn't work. I believe my mindset does.
I hope this long winded diatribe helps. it is my opinion that no one is swinging their (smaller than mine) BSD around to be an ass. They are doing it to help in a way that has worked so many times here. Post roll. Every fucking day. As soon as your eyeballs open. Keep your word. If you are a liar or sociopath, leave... this place isn't for you. Reach out for help... there are thousands of us that will stop whatever we are doing to help a newbie quit. Keep your word! Do the same thing tomorrow.
