Apogeeammo - this is me

[rdad]

Day 121 - Posting for posterity - this quit is still pretty tough. Not white knuckle craves but starting to think about dipping again. Simple thoughts, easy, $5 and a bad decision and I'm right back into a 30 year habit. So proud to have made the HOF and suddenly I'm three weeks past it and feeling like "what's next?" The answer of what's next is "just today", keep posting roll and staying quit. I've felt enough of the roller coaster to know that this too shall pass and become something else.

It's funny because the drama on the board doesn't even bother me any more. Go watch the show on WCWBignasty, it's actually pretty sad now instead of the pain it caused me before. After I realized my complaints about the new board were just potential excuses to cave, I went ahead and learned how it works and moved on.

Quit today!

Well done, man!
That "what next?" is a post HOF pitfall that we need to talk about more. We truly see... this fight doesn't end. There is no magic number. It's day... after... day.

I dig what you said about putting on your big boy pants, learning how to use the new site, and motoring right along. Change can suck occasionally... deal with it like a grown up and power through.

Rock on...

121 days quit. What's that worth to you? How important is that number to you? ask the same question about dip. Measure both of those responses. Who wins?

Sure, you're an addict, so am I. But you're a quitter now, so am I. Which one do you like better. These are the types of questions I challenge myself with every day. What is my quit worth to me. KTC makes me ask, what is my quit worth to my quit brothers? We all have a stake in it. And that worth is far greater than any worth nicotine can ever give you.

Nicotine leads to desolation, isolation, and death. Quitting leads to freedom, brotherhood, and life.

Quit on my friend.

Eloquent as always Steak!

"Nicotine leads to desolation, isolation, and death. Quitting leads to freedom, brotherhood, and life."

Reminded me of Yoda

"Fear is the path to the darkside, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering!"

And to answer your question, I do like being a quitter better and I too gain from this brotherhood/sisterhood.

On a side note, Pinched wrote a good post about brotherhood today too, its always cool how the same subjects roll through KTC at the same time. Lends continuity!

Thanks also to Sam and AJ for the support!

Even though I am just a tiny bit ahead of you on this path you need to know that ever since you joined here you have quit the right way. You got with the program. posted your promise everyday, and lent your support to a lot of quitters (me included) I felt the post HOF blahs too. Now instead of focusing on counting I am trying to savor the beauty of being free each day. There is such a comfort knowing that the most solid quitters. The ones we can really lean on. Have chosen to stay active here. You are one of them you fucking clown!

There is always a bit of a lull after a big accomplishment. You are right on the money! I look forward to continue this journey with you right here!

Hey I've enjoyed watching your quit from the first time that clown stomped in theSe halls. You make my quit stronger. If you want me to post for you till they get it more manageable feel free to pm me for my number, then you can text and I will post for you. Point is, if it's getting you down feel free to get help- I'm here as I'm sure many others are too. I had real bad "fuckits" around my HOF day give or take two weeks, and it would have sucked to negotiate a system change like this. But man you've built a web here because you've been accountable- and the benefit of that is support. So use it if you need it. The hassle will pass eventually and I can f-in carry you if need be until you can handle it.

Day 106 - I've said many times on here and to people away from here that I have been very surprised that a website has influenced my quit and my life so thoroughly and it is very true. I'm also surprised that this recent change has impacted me in such a negative way. I went to post roll this morning and the last person to post cut off about six quitters who came on here to say they were quit. I could have spent the time trying to fix it but just said "Fuck it!" because as soon as I fix it, someone else will fuck it up again.

This is ridiculous, either post some instructions so everyone see's it or go to another board that mimics what worked so well a week ago.

I will 100% agree with you...but i will say this...post roll...make your promise. As of now thats all you can do. If you get bumped or whatever, you still made your promise. It has been a pain and i've heard this from many people but you know in your heart if you make your promise.

Hey they're working on stuff. In the meantime don't let it get it down. Keep interacting and keep posting. We need you here. Just make sure we all go to the newest post before we quote something.

I don't know where else to put this so I'll put it here in hopes it will be seen by someone in charge. With the move to Zeta, my layout has changed and all of the latest posts are at the end instead of the beginning. It is playing havoc with posting roll and with reading topics. Is there a way for me to change this back to the way it was before?

AA

Yes, same feeling here. The roll is buggered up. I posted at the bottom, but ended up in a middle page somewhere, so then went in and "fixed" it. Bumped Ginet in the process and had to re-fix a 2nd time! This will take some getting used to.

It's like we're all newbs again. Feel bad for the guys who are in the fog AND trying to figure out the new site.
Look for a brief spike in violent crimes.

Once everyone is comfortable with the latest post being at the bottom of the last page the features can be utilized as an advantage to lessen bumping. The key is everyone must recondition themselves to ensure they are actually at the latest post before hitting the quote button. You'll notice at the bottom there is an indicator of who is VIEWING and who is POSTING. The who is POSTING part will let you know who you are going to bump. The key is getting people to go to the latest or most recent post. There is a setting in PREFERENCES up top that will take you automatically to the last UNREAD post in a thread. The key thing to remember when going to that post is that there are likely subsequent unread posts that came of the last post that you had yet to read. This is where scrolling down becomes important. Then it's important to recognize that newer posts might be on a new page, so you have to click over to the new page(s).

Bottom line, before posting, find the most recent post before you hit the QUOTE button.

Funny, the newbies in July seem to be handling it quite well.... 'Moe'

I've been a newbie once, I didn't like it then and I don't like it now!!
