Others have already said it better, but well done, Jason. You could have sulked and run off like so many others, but instead you stood up, dusted yourself off, and reached out a hand while acknowledging that you fucked up.

I don't condone any cave, but I think this place benefits greatly from retreads who choose to take ownership of their addiction. Thanks for reminding us all how fragile even a 223 day quit is, and thanks for rebounding from that lesson with class.

  • Interests: My wife and 2 young children keep me happy and busy most of the time but when I get a spare moment you can catch me in a historic area or park metal detecting or up on the river sluicing for some gold or with a fishing pole in my hand. I also like hunting, hiking, and anything else exciting or outdoors. I like all sports and recently got into volleyball.

Just wanted to post your acceptance to the train in your thread. Congrats Bro, with pride Jake and I welcome you on the train! Erussell -134-



And today our train is stopping at Canton Michigan..... And guys I have to tell you! This train is starting to smell like bourbon and body odor! We are going to have to air it out for a bit at some point this week......

Today we welcome a BADASS who has hit a 100 days of freedom from chew.... Shu26! He is a man who has been married to the same woman for 13 years (a hell of an accomplishment in itself) and a father of 2 kids. One 9 year old boy and a 7 year old little girl. They can truly look at there father with pride today as he reaches this milestone! He started dipping a little later in life then most of us (age 19) and is very proud (as he should be) to hit 100 days. He will be the first to admit that he is a retread having hit 100 days before but this time is different. He is more involved and clearly takes this quit serious! What is he going to do on this special day? QUIT! And join another group of quitters to support. He is a firm believer that support is the key here at KTC. He did not utilize it the first go around but he is this time and he will make sure he is there for those that follow. This man gets it! ThatÂ’s why he will succeed! What does he like to do that's inappropriate? VEGAS! I don't even have to say any more! He wont tell us what he drives though. He says it is a company car.... I'm guessing a Dodge neon. Just cause I want to pick on dodge today! BOO!

His advice to others.....”I'm a retread. I went 223 days then I caved. I didn't utilize the people who were there for me or the website. I thought once I hit 100, I'm free and clear. Well, now I know that if I hit 200, 300, or 1000, it doesn't mean anything if you don't lean on those who will hold you accountable and hold yourself accountable. “ Thats right! SUPPORT AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

He would like to thank the following....Duathman, Billybill, Sportsfan, Sharsky, Mrs. Daniels all supported me when I caved. They weren't easy on me, but they held me accountable and helped me get back on the Wagin.

Bro you have earned this ride! Jump on and grab a glass! We need someone to help with the drinks. Congrats on this 100 days. We will see you at 200! Jake Frawley
congrats Jason keep it rolling proud to quit with you.
Quit on Jason...I quit with ya.

Congrats on the hunnert.....

Thanks Derk! It's not that easy to let your guard down and get beat up like that, but if I didn't cave none of this would have happened. Appreciate your support today and I quit with you and everyone else on here. One day at a time.

Hey J,

It's all good brother. No worries on this end. DON'T make the same mistakes I did. Just when you think your good, it creeps up. I didn't have any real issues getting to 100 or 200. Don't throw it all away like I did. There's nothing worse than telling people (your family, brothers, etc.) that you failed them. You'll hate yourself for it. I did, and still do....seriously, If I could take that moment back I would.

When I caved, Sportsfan was the one who told me to get more involved with other groups. Look around and reach out to people. They can help make your quit that much stronger.

Yuck.  You gave your answers...what's done is done.  But holy shit right?!!  You threw away 223 days for what...help painting a fucking wall?  Are those helpful sons of bitches with the can coming over to put your dinner in the blender for your feeding tube?   Maybe they'll explain to your loved ones that you had quit but how this was just bros being bros, or some bullshit like that?  WELL FUCK THAT!!!

I'm not telling you how to live your life.  I can't make the choice for you.  But if you're gonna throw it all away just because your boys come over with a can, then just sign off now.  This site is for quitters...not wannabes.

Decide to quit, give your word, and fucking KEEP it!!!  Or don't...
Yes Shu is on day 60 and for some reason a person in our group (who by the way "understands" why people cave) put in big bold letters the 3 questions. What was the motive for this? I have NO idea. Some things just can't be explained.


I posted that I wanted to hear Shu's answers and that i thought he owed it to his first group and that I didn't know you could change groups. I have read his 3 and feel like he has take enough shit from everyone and even from himself, wife, and maybe even kids that there is no need for me to push it further. I was looking out for my quit and I am glad I have Shu in my quit group as I hope I never have a "just once" weak moment and I will remember this feed if it ever crosses my mind.
Also, next time I will just PM someone instead of posting to the group... sorry man. My bad.
Shu, I like the way u handled yourself today. You were called out... things did not go sideways like it could have. Testament to you. Your great attitude is why you were able to rebound from that cave and are now 60 days quit. That is a hell of an accomplishment in my books. I learned from you today. I am proud to be quit with you in September!

Yea, I know. Gave it up for what?? 5 minutes of B.S.

But, here's the thing. That was 60 days ago. I'm over it. Whether you are or not doesn't matter to me. What does is that I fell off the wagon, dusted myself off and have been quit since.
