Daily affirmations-updated daily

[hsumatt2117]

I do feel that no one is perfect and that people can make mistakes. It is, without a doubt, 100% how they respond to that mistake that shows their true charactor. Did they dip all day, did they quit this site or did they say, I messed up, made a mistake but I am still quit. Just tripped a little on my path. Maybe I too will get bitched out but it could happen to any of us.

[magnum9]

Well said.

AG, I know what you mean about people coming in and posting intros and disappearing.

These people are not serious about quitting. They had the great epiphany that they MUST quit now based off of a strong emotional feeling they have. But in the end their desire to quit fizzles away when they realize their pea brain doesn't have the ability to overcome their overabundance of personal weakness.

As for the caving after a period of quit. I might get bitched out for this, but we can't expect 100% of members to be mistake free... yes I said mistake. Sometimes decisions we make are mistakes. It is what someone does with that mistake that tells about their character. Did that caver come immediately back to the site or did they have an extended affair with the bitch?

Some people just do not understand what it means to burn the boat. I agree with the ODAAT mentality because the only thing we control is today. But leaving the possibility for the bitch to take back control of your life is something I fear is more common than we want to admit. Some people just don't want to burn the boat, they want to hold out hope that the craving and desire will completely disappear, and when it doesn't they look for the way out.

[AgLawyer]

Well said. Yes, I am always a little dumbfounded by the initial Introduction comments. You see folks join the site and write a paragraph about how they are DONE and then they disappear. Huh????

[Instigator]

I don't know why, but I never cease to be amazed at the amount of repeat quitters in here. Don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends on here have been here before and come back, proving to be among the best quitters there are.

What amazes me is how fine the line is between success and failure. It takes forever to build success, yet just one little second with the wrong decision to be a failure.

Failure is scary, but apparently not scary enough to keep us away. At times, it is like the hot stove. We are the little children that know the stove is hot. We know that one little touch and we get burned. Yet we are always tempted to see if we really can be burned. We tempt the fates of failure, and for what? What do we possibly hope to accomplish by endeavoring in a hopeless chance?

I would recommend that no one ever join on here and post roll unless they are really serious about giving up nicotine. The hard cores on here do not view this as trying, nor as a game. They take it serious. Success turns them on, while failure turns their stomachs.

If you are joining here and you are serious about your quit, you need to make some determinations up front. What are you willing to do to stay quit? Are you willing to give up drinking for a while if that's what it takes? Are you willing to stay away from certain quit buddies if that's what it takes? Are you willing to subject yourself to scrutiny, oversight and even redicule if that's what it takes?

These are the questions you must answer. Ultimately though, it comes down to the final question: Are you brave enough to be a success?

[Moondawggy]

I'm on day 12, and I have forever to go. Literally. At times I'm ok, but most of the time I'm pissed the f off that I have trouble saying no to the bitch. I'm MAD that I'm an ADDICT. I could care less about dip.

Hey, Moon, one of the best things that could happen to you is to get pissed at the nic bitch! Channel that anger/hatred into your quit. When the craves come give nic the finger and move on.

Now get your butt in gear and keep quitting, son!

Keddy, I've read many of your posts. You are a smart and philisophical guy. I respect that. Be a part of my quit.

Who the hell is he confusing Keddy with? :blink:

Nice fucking visor, Doc. I mean either put a hat on or don't. You're not Spurrier.

You are askin for some serious ball bustin, junior...

Don't make fun of my favorite trashy ballcap

All f'n around aside, congrats on the recent 7th floor. That's tits up man.

We all know that every new group sees vets bash some returning caver and wonders why someone would be so mean to a guy just trying to quit.  I can't tell you how many times I've seen the old, "Well if this is how this site works, I'll get support somewhere else."

Let me direct your attention to the best testimonial we got on this site.  There are hundreds of Hall of Fame speeches posted on here.  Every one by a bad mofo quitter that at least for 100 days put nic in her place.  Read through them.  Most of them don't even mention meanies that rough up people.  Those that do, probably were roughed up a little in the beginning and thank those that did it.  NOBODY to my knowledge has ever posted a HOF speech where they say, "Man, I just wish the site hadn't been so rough at times."

Here's why.  When someone goes through 100 days of withdrawing, craving, dip dreaming, raging and rewiring their brains, it all makes sense.  This is not a game.  That is why we say we don't try.  We quit.  Your life depends on your attitude to this.

There are plenty of guys that have caved, taken a little crap to help them refocus and then went on to be the baddest quitters you'll ever meet.  Once that person refocuses, there is no lack of support on here.  There are plenty of guys that have caved, taken a little crap and vanished because the crap wasn't worth taking.  Translation, a little effort wasn't worth all the trouble.

That's why there are meanies on here.  Many think gator is no doubt a meanie.  But you actually get to know me, talk to me on chat, I'll do anything for anybody that wants it.

Welcome to the site.  Now go screw yourself.

I wish one or more of you "meanies" would come by my intro page, or catch me in chat, or whatever and rough me up some. Do I have to piss one of you off? I appreciate the well wishes and the encouragement from those that offer it, but honestly I'm just not going to respond to it with anything other than an obligatory "thanks."

I'm on day 12, and I have forever to go. Literally. At times I'm ok, but most of the time I'm pissed the f off that I have trouble saying no to the bitch. I'm MAD that I'm an ADDICT. I could care less about dip.

One of you so called "meanies" fuckin bring it every now and then. I have read it directed at others, and identified with the message of it, gathered some tools, and applied some of them. Hell I used the "Not right now" method that I read off of someone's HOF speech just last night. Sorry I can't remember who's line it was... I read a bunch and they are long as hell.

I realize as I write this that it seems very butterflyish... but I'm reminded of someone else's HOF speech, "I'm not a special butterfly, I'm an addict. Just like you." I'm not seeking special or individual methods, I'm just telling you I'm not a sensitive delicate flower.

Careful what you wish for....

I may be looking for a new pet....

'rem'

Back off, NOLAQ.

I found him first.

Besides, he's from my neck of the woods and I doubt anyone from Maine has credibility with him. Down here we all know Mainers take it in the two hole.

I'll bet gmann and moondawg already know each other! :wub:

@Gator- Now people are bitching that you are not mean enough. You can not get a win lately.

@Moondawggy- Go eat a bag of dicks. 'na na'
(BTW are you a cavs fan?)

Moondogs was that bar you only went to if you were looking to pick up some sausage. I like how Moon tried to spell it "dawg" thinking only his fellow two hole stuffers would figure it out.

I think Moon would welcome a bag, Steve.

[Moondawggy]

Not a cav's fan. But that's an interesting link. There's also a hot dog place called moondoggies somewhere. I bet I can get a bag of dicks from them.
