@emoney each quitter only gets one introduction. Feel free to use your intro to journal, ask questions, share victories and reach out to members who have yet to sign up.

But please do not create additional topics in this section of the forum.

Quit on.

Looks like this is in my thread. Either the message was moved manually or moved automatically.

@MNxEngineer

Consider sending these types of messages over PM instead of diluting my thread with administrative /logistical concerns. These types of messages get in the way of the mission here.

If you could, go ahead and remove these last two messages between you and I.
KTC is built on such tenants as honesty, integrity and transparency. As addicts we love to lie, bend the truth and hide things. Because we are fighting an addiction and transparency is important here, we only remove posts on rare occasion, i.e. they stem from a spam account.

@MNxEngineer

The message posted actually does resemble spam. Again, take or leave my recommendation to handle this over a PM in the future, but It seems like the mission of spreading the quit should be the priority without interleaved spam messages. This is adding fuel to my suspicions that ego sometimes trumps the mission with some on this board.
You are free to interpret it how you wish but you don't get to come (back) and dictate the way the site is run.

Instead of arguing with me in here, why don't you take that energy and passion and engage your fellow quitters.

And if by ego you mean me trying to kindly explain why I addressed this here publicly, than so be it. Addicts are a funny bunch I tell ya.

I gave a suggestion. I’m not dictating anything, just pointing out that is likely the reason for a lot of the behavior I see with some. This is one example, another would be members who seem to really enjoy the part about going after cavers then ghost once the caver explains themselves.

Hopefully there isn’t too much “addict speak” in here, that seems to be the favorite fail safe for some to win their arguments. As shown in your last passive aggressive sentence, “addicts are a funny bunch I tell ya”.

So yes, the behavior I am observing right now is an elevated ego that has probably gone unchecked, along with a few others. I’m actually surprised some of your buddies haven’t come to your aid and piled on yet to validate you more.

So quit then.

Show us how bad ass of a quitter you are.

Question though:  you left ktc and failed?  Then you tried on your own and failed?  Maybe you need to slow down, listen to others, and get your quit on.

I'm sorry you miss your friends from last time.  Make more or move on.  Although I'll have every quitters back here any time they need me, I do it so they'll have mine.  That's why I post still...even when my feelings are hurt or I think I'm right.

Why did you leave?

What ya doing differently this time?

Pointing out nonsense from people with large egos who may have lost sight of the goals here is not mutually exclusive to listening to what people have to say.

I will continue to do that at the same time as quitting.

This is not a blaring example, but @wastepanel ‘s post is definitely a slight pile on. Again, trying to invalidate any legitimate criticism of a vet/mod/admins action by attacking my previous cave.

To answer your questions, authentic or not, I left because I felt I didn’t need it anymore. I felt like it was a reminder of dip rather than a reminder not to dip.

What am I doing differently? I plan to keep posting roll here or atleast have someone I’m accountable to make this promise not to use nicotine every day. Not having that is what slowly eroded my mindset.

What ya doing differently this time?
In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

@emoney

Some advice... I'm not the world's most active guy on here.  Never was, definitely I'm not now.  But... Invest in your quit.  Get to know a few people.  You don't have to post like Dog (caved), CNC (still quit last I heard), or Srains (badass quitter I text with daily) but spend some time reading and contribute a bit here and there.  This place is littered with people that drifted away and later caved.  Better yet, if you're near a major metropolitan area find other guys in the area and go have lunch or a beer.  The thought of having to explain myself to guys I met in person quickly set me back on track many times in the early days.  If you can't make meet ups happen make it personal.  Share pictures, get to know families, etc. 

1388 - NAFAR

@Rogerpersson when you say, Dog - are you referring to Dogonhunt? Because, he left KTC due to personalities from what I remember. He was probably one of the most influential for me at the time as well.

Yes, that's who I mean.  He was banned, unfairly in my opinion, but what happened is water under the bridge.  Regardless he later caved which is sad.  Still a good dude in my book and I still exchange a rare text or two  with him. 

Regardless my point is you don't have to have a gazillion posts a day or be Mr Active on this site, but go make some real relationships.  It takes accountability to a level way beyond posting a number on a website.  I spent last weekend hosting 2 badass quitters at my house, going for a long hike together, drinking too much, and having some great meals.  If I have a super shitty day tomorrow or next week/month/etc they will be first thing entering my mind instead of going back to dip.  I have let my family down before, but I have never let these guys down.

I just sent Dog a text. If he really caved, it would be so great to get him in our November group. He was a really great positive personality to have around.

Some advice... I'm not the world's most active guy on here.  Never was, definitely I'm not now.  But... Invest in your quit.  Get to know a few people.  You don't have to post like Dog (caved), CNC (still quit last I heard), or Srains (badass quitter I text with daily) but spend some time reading and contribute a bit here and there.  This place is littered with people that drifted away and later caved.  Better yet, if you're near a major metropolitan area find other guys in the area and go have lunch or a beer.  The thought of having to explain myself to guys I met in person quickly set me back on track many times in the early days.  If you can't make meet ups happen make it personal.  Share pictures, get to know families, etc.

@Rogerpersson when you say, Dog - are you referring to Dogonhunt? Because, he left KTC due to personalities from what I remember. He was probably one of the most influential for me at the time as well.

Yes, that's who I mean.  He was banned, unfairly in my opinion, but what happened is water under the bridge.  Regardless he later caved which is sad.  Still a good dude in my book and I still exchange a rare text or two  with him. 

Regardless my point is you don't have to have a gazillion posts a day or be Mr Active on this site, but go make some real relationships.  It takes accountability to a level way beyond posting a number on a website.  I spent last weekend hosting 2 badass quitters at my house, going for a long hike together, drinking too much, and having some great meals.  If I have a super shitty day tomorrow or next week/month/etc they will be first thing entering my mind instead of going back to dip.  I have let my family down before, but I have never let these guys down.

 
Wow that sounds like a great weekend! Good to hear you guys were having fun. And that's too bad to hear about Dog, he must've caved after me because we exchanged texts long after I left KTC.

Thanks for the advice. I'm definitely quit now not going back. I have the knowledge that going back is not anything like what you fantasize it to be anyway.
