Ready - Day 1,450
Disclaimer The following is "In General" and not to be taken as "black and white", there are always variables.
For those of you who are under 100 days quit, who will notice if you don't post roll?
If your answer is, "I don't know" You're fucked.
For those of you who are over 1,000 days quit, who will notice if you don't post roll?
If your answer is, "I don't know" You're fucked.
I may have over simplified things just a bit but no one wants to sift through a bunch of dribble from me. I will try and get to the point. IMHO, I think both of these groups are in somewhat the same boat but not for the same reasons.
The first group just didn't buy in and drink the cool aid, they pretty much didn't go "All In". They get what they put into it. You sleep walk through this shit and phone it in, you're expendable.
Then there is the second group. Some hard charging quit mother fuckers. Shoving it in , "All In" Every day, all day long. They Post roll every day without fail. They support others, encourage others and in general, are leaders for quit. At one point, when the founders created this site, the second group did not exist. recently, the second group has grown exponentially. A true testament to this site and proof that it works when used as prescribed.
Here's the reason the second group is in the same boat as the first. They have shown that they are rock solid and most would not dare question their quit. They have earned that by their actions. I will be the first to admit that I fallen into this line of thinking. I have let 1,000 + day quitters slide on missing roll. I realized that I am part of the problem in this area.
I also realize that it is difficult for people with significantly fewer days quit to question those who have gone before. Having said that, If you are in this with a 1,000 + day quitter, You better damn well hold up your end and hold them accountable. Period. You see, that's part of the reason they hang around. They need the accountability. But, in quite a few cases, they are not getting the accountability they need so they drift. They miss roll from time to time. They figure out that no one noticed and that is huge. It is.
There it is there.
If you are reading this and are drunk on the cool-aid, go adopt a fucking crotchety old quitter and hold him accountable every fucking day. If they don't like it, fuckem, do it anyway. Accountability is the foundation of this site. Every single quitter has a responsibility to keep that foundation rock solid. Don't let those old fuckers decay the bricks this place was built on.
Ready steps down from his soap box and wanders off to go find an old quit bro who has drifted
