Roll call is not a responsibility, it is a privilege and an honor.
I disagree with this on every level.

You don't really get it do you?
Posting roll is not a privilege... It is not a reward or benefit.
It. Is. A. Responsibility.

You don't GET to post roll... You NEED to post roll.
You dig?

It's not an honor to post roll... Posting roll is something you must honor.

Throw as many words around as you want but you still have it backwards and therein lies the problem. Stop patting yourself on the back for doing nothing special...









Excuse me here.

I believe posting roll IS a privilige. It is not a burden, or a cross I bear.

I am Quit today. I am Quit because of this place and it's brotherhood and accountability.

I do not honor this place as a burden. I honor this place with my daily pledge.

And I honor it daily.

I'm sorry bro, I disagree with you on this, but not on every level.

I Quit today. You Quit today.

We may be looking through different colored glasses, but we are seeing the same image.
Fuck I'm tired of this shit.
I am not. What roll means to each of us and how we look at it is entirely up to you. So long as you give your word and honor it every day, it can be an honor, a privilege, a burden, a reminder, a responsibility - whatever you need it to be so long as you understand what it means and why you are doing it.

I posted in my intro what it means to me and how I think of it. As a reminder to me. You don't have to agree and I don't expect everyone to agree.

Quit on.
You, however, I still have issue with.

But... It does no good to argue against a viewpoint that bends every which way.


OK then.

I have started my viewpoint quite clearly. You have stated yours. Not sure how mine is bending every which way. I don't know why you have a problem with my view point.

Posting roll is not my responsibility - raising my kids, going to work, and paying taxes are my responsibilities. Posting roll every morning with the 3ballers is an honor and a privilege. It is an honor to be a member of this site. It is a privilege to put my name on the line with some of the baddest fucking people on the planet every day.

You are right that i need to post roll; I am an addict. But I don't have to post roll. No one is putting a gun to my head. I do it because I know that before KTC quitting was an impossible dream best put off until tomorrow. Since KTC I have kept that shit out of my lip for over 3 years. I have used the tools to weave a web of accountability so thick it would be epic if I failed (thanks waste).

Does that clear it up for you? Or is there some other issue you would like me to address? Would you be more comfortable pm'Ing, texting, calling, or posting here?
For me a "member" of KTC posting roll is a privilege. For me as a quit addict and member of the BOQ posting roll is a responsibility if I'm going to live up to the brotherhood of my fellow BOQ. Posting roll is a reminder of the promise I made to myself and my wife (that's more personal). I find a lot in this discussion that I agree with and some I don't. As a member of KTC I look at those with colored names as examples of what works and what is expected. Right or wrong that's my view point. That's where I disagree with you J2B, since your name has color I see you have a responsibility to set the example for those of us that are just plain 'black'. All of this discussion has stirred a very sore subject matter up for me that I struggled with early in my quit. I now see it differently than I did then and I also see a possible solution that I didn't then. When someone with a colored name retires or God forbid "caves" why not take the color away and have their status show as "member". You can go ahead and have a location where they can be credited for their past service if praise is important. Looking at retired "leaders" you'll see that some haven't posted for months or years. If the post tomorrow why should their names show up in color? It appears that they are better than the average Joe.

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

If its too much trouble to post roll call, you could always fuck off.

Day 1249.

I came here to quit.

I was taught very early that being quit required 2 things: brotherhood (helping others quit, be it by saying really important and prudent stuff, texting, etc) and accountability (being on roll call everyday, looking out for my brothers, keeping my word, etc).

Accountability - I have NEVER missed a single day of roll call in those 1249. Feel free to check. I have and will continue to argue the importance of daily roll call to anyone - ANYONE. I will continue to freely give out my number to anyone who wants to continue increasing my web of accountability.

Brotherhood - I am not looking to add names to my rolodex, I am looking to build brotherhood. These folks that share this webspace with me, most of whom I have never and will never meet in person, have had more impact on my life than people I see for hours on end every day. I had to go to an unlimited text plan way back when because some of us found that we have a lot of common interests and text like crazy. I laugh my ass of most days at the funny shit people text randomly.

You know what? I came here to quit, and I am. I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I strive to do what I can here to help, and will continue to do so until I cannot do it anymore.

I will continue to pass on the lessons taught to me by all those who learned them first and passed them on. Ready, Skoal Monster, Show, Nolaq, the original 7, and countless others - either by direct contact or by reading words you have posted on these here forums - you have given me a path to freedom and I promise to continue to walk it with my head held high and show others to the best of my ability. I owe this site my very life, and I will treat it as such.

Roll call is not a responsibility, it is a privilege and an honor. It is something more than an anon screen name on some forum. It is a solemn promise to brothers that must be honored if you have any pride or guts. I give my promise freely everyday. I expect nothing in return except your promise to do the same.
One of the best things Ive read recently. No bullshit, Just quitting. Rock on J2B!!!
Josh was the first to support my weak ass when I finally decided to quit like fuck versus wear a band-aid. This post has my 100% support, and I will QLF with Josh every damn day.
J2B spoken like a true leader. This is the ticket.....post roll engage in brotherhood and QLF.
Werd.
*standing ovation*
^^^^^^ *slow clap*
^^^^^^ *mouth hug*
Nice post my quit brother.
^^^Mouth hug? WTF. That's stirring some pretty funny visuals in me noggin.

J2B, you've been a great friend, teacher and leader for our text group. Thanks.

I love this:

Day 1249.

I came here to quit.

I was taught very early that being quit required 2 things: brotherhood (helping others quit, be it by saying really important and prudent stuff, texting, etc) and accountability (being on roll call everyday, looking out for my brothers, keeping my word, etc).

Accountability - I have NEVER missed a single day of roll call in those 1249. Feel free to check. I have and will continue to argue the importance of daily roll call to anyone - ANYONE. I will continue to freely give out my number to anyone who wants to continue increasing my web of accountability.

Brotherhood - I am not looking to add names to my rolodex, I am looking to build brotherhood. These folks that share this webspace with me, most of whom I have never and will never meet in person, have had more impact on my life than people I see for hours on end every day. I had to go to an unlimited text plan way back when because some of us found that we have a lot of common interests and text like crazy. I laugh my ass of most days at the funny shit people text randomly.

You know what? I came here to quit, and I am. I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I strive to do what I can here to help, and will continue to do so until I cannot do it anymore.

I will continue to pass on the lessons taught to me by all those who learned them first and passed them on. Ready, Skoal Monster, Show, Nolaq, the original 7, and countless others - either by direct contact or by reading words you have posted on these here forums - you have given me a path to freedom and I promise to continue to walk it with my head held high and show others to the best of my ability. I owe this site my very life, and I will treat it as such.

Roll call is not a responsibility, it is a privilege and an honor. It is something more than an anon screen name on some forum. It is a solemn promise to brothers that must be honored if you have any pride or guts. I give my promise freely everyday. I expect nothing in return except your promise to do the same.
