Day 1

[Tony S]

Day 2. Thankful to all the vets who got on my ass extra hard yesterday. The brotherhood of KTC is something special. Any quitters who read this understand....ODAAT! Do not let down the group like i did. If you make people care about your quit and let them, its a terrible feeling. Not worth it!

Proud to be quit with all of KTC...esp. Nov 14, Dec 13, Dec 10, Dec 09

It is unfathomable to me that you could spend 100 days here and think that you were cured. That fact alone convinces me that you put zero effort into learning the most basic points about quit. You dont put in enough effort in college? Guess what- you fail. You dont put enough effort into quit? Guess what- you fail.

Pull your head out of your ass, put some effort into your quit. Ferfucksake we dont wander in here after decades of using because we could quit alone!

Another one bites the dust at 100. Tony, sounds like you didn't spend much time here your first 100 days. It is painfully obvious that the number 100 means slightly more than a hill of beans. Granted it is a fantastic milestone. I never went 100 days without dip the whole 23 yrs I was a user. My record was 6 days.

Famous saying here at KTC, cavers are going to cave, quitters are going to quit. Would love to see you in the latter part of that phrase. Get involved stay active and keep quit the priority for you day and you'll succeed.

Maybe posting with some lonely vets will show you a glimpse of how good quit can be. Feel free to drop by December 2010, the GUARD and we'll cook ya some breakfast!

I agree with the responses. Particularly the last few. Here is my 3 questions which will also be posted in Dec '13 and Nov '14.


- 1 - What happened? Caved. Stopped Posting Roll. Disappeared.

- 2 - Why did it happen? I believed that by going 100 days without nicotine I had "beaten" my addiction to nicotine. I also was a poor brother to my fellow quitters. I behaved selfishly by simply posting roll and not doing my part to help support my fellow quitters. Failing to commit to my quit brethren as well as my own quit contributed to me being unable to sustain my quit.

- 3 - What are you going to do differently? Treat my quit as ODAAT, indefinitely. I know that the addiction will always exist in me, and I must always fight it one day at a time. It never ends. More importantly than that, is the commitment to contribute to the quits of others. My selfish "post roll and bail" approach did not help improve the lives of anyone else.

I know I have been selfish, weak, and that I deserve nothing. However, I ask the KTC Brotherhood to let me rejoin and post roll again. Let me prove I am a QUITTER and can be an asset to other quitters.

Thanks,

Tony

Tony S,

Your lack of maturity in regards to quitting is beyond disappointing... It makes me livid! You've come too far to slip up over some peer pressure. I don't blame your friends but I blame you. I'm not convinced that you REALLY want this quit. How can we trust you now? What's your plan of attack? Will you reach out more to the vets?

[Dagranger]

The three questions, which you need to share with December 2013 and November 2014:

- 1 - What happened?

- 2 - Why did it happen?

- 3 - What are you going to do differently?

Don't answer these because I want to know, answer them because you need to be accountable and come clean and quit lying to yourself.

Tony I looked back at your posts and found two things.
One, you were great at posting roll every day...until you weren't. When you post roll you are accountable to everyone on this site. When you don't you are accountable to just yourself (an addict making a promise to an addict). 100 days doesn't mean anything in terms of posting roll
Two, you had zero other contributions to the site. This site is filled with many ex cavers, and the one thing they have in common is when they come back in they do it with a vengeance, staying quit and helping everyone else along the way.

If you come back, don't do it in the half assed way you did it before.

I think you covered the first 2 questions but after reaching HOF and caving so soon there are some obvious things to do different. With only 98 posts I assume your level of activity wasn't very high. I'm with Pinched I hope this really sucks for you, maybe you'll remember this time.

Hi y'all, I am not stranger to the site as I completed 100 days in the December 2013 class. When I returned to college in January '14, it wasn't long before I went out partying and figured I could have "1 dip" from a buddy. Figured I had learned how to "control it". I was wrong. Fast forward to today, and I am back to my old ways, knocking down a can every day or 2. Nicotine is not something I can control. If given any opportunity at all, it controls me. I know now that I will never be "cured", but will have to battle the addiction each day for all days.

Today is day 1 of me fighting back. What will be different this time? The experience of hitting 100 and failing has taught me that there is no mark to hit where you will suddenly be "all good". It is an every day battle and I'm walking back to the front line. I quit today!

Tony, I hope that the next few days totally sucks for you. I hate seeing people cave, crawl back and all because the tools that worked for them for 100 days or more were no longer utilized.

Don't get me wrong I am here to support you all the way but this time I want to make sure you remember every painful detail of the early quit. Also, that "buddy" you mentioned would not be a buddy of mine any longer if you had informed him of your quit prior to his assistance.

Do it this time!

You have proved day 1 was not a fluke by repeating it on day 2... There is no excuse to not stay quit day 3. Great job Tony! Keep KTC close and read some intro threads from the beginning to see what is in store for you in the next week or 2. No 2 quits are exactly the same, but there are a lot of common issues and stages in all our quits. It is helpful to have knowledge of what is coming. When you post day 4 tomorrow the poison should be out of your system!

[Mike from AB]

Thanks to all the support everyone, I'm on day 3 with no nicotine and feeling good about TODAY. Best thing I've learned: embrace the "withdrawal rage" and funnel into weight lifting. Been hitting personal records this week and its seems to be helping. If any of you need help/ want to chat PM me

Awesome work on making it 3 days!!
