Just found out yesterday one whom I respected when I quit had began drinking again. He had paused 4 years when I quit. Yesterday was his new day one.

I hadn't seen this thread in a few years. I stumbled across it scrolling these old forums. It kind of embarrasses me even more that I ever left here. I wanted to see if I could stay quit on my own. At the time quitting to me was quitting chewing and quitting promising every day to do what I wanted to just do. Now I look back and regret leaving. I don't regret leaving because I caved and chewed like many others. However I like many others have more then one addiction. I might always wonder if I had stayed here and active would I have ever caved during covid and began a two year drinking binge. I think probably not. When I began trying to sober up in 23 I first joined a site called Sober Recovery. What a joke. They offer a pat on the ass and try again every time one caves and they quickly got mad at me for calling it out. I finally decided it was time for me to hang my head and come back. Discord still sucks by the way. At least at KTC if I cave I have to answer for it instead of a pat and try again you'll do better. Did I mention discord sucks?

I should have quit sooner. But at least I can say I have turned fifty without being a dipper.
