You know what man . . . fuck you!
I signed up on this site about a year ago because I thought it would help me quit. Didn't keep coming back because I realized I don't need a sponsor or to post here every fucking day to quit dipping.
I quit dipping because I wanted to. So when I decided I wanted to, I promised myself, my wife, and my family I was quitting. I didn't have to come in here and post every GD day to a bunch of strangers.
So 1 year and 1 day later, as I'm talking at work about it being a year now, I thought about this site. So I log in and post in my roll call and say it's been a year.
After that I looked up my one and only thread and decided to post in it because "loot" assumed I hadn't quit because, god forbid, I hadn't logged in forever.
Then I ended up reading various threads and whatnot and I realized another reason I quit coming to this site.
Half the people on here are assholes.
But have a good day Skoal Monster and MSHowell and anybody else that thinks they're better than me because they post here every day. Or anybody that believes if you don't post every day it's not really quiting.
I never said I was better than you, and neither did the Loot. (Actually I am though, and judging by your avatar Im way better looking too, and the Loot is dead sexy so I'm pretty sure were both better than you)
Im truly happy that you are quit, I wouldn't wish a nicotine addiction on my worst enemy.
I don't get your motivation for stopping in. Why? You want a cookie?
Again, you wouldn't walk into an AA meeting and say I quit and I didn't need your 12 steps or a sponsor to do it. Glad you didn't need this to quit, but I did and do, and so do others. I found your post to be inflammatory and in poor taste. You walk into a house full of recovering addicts and proclaim that you are a mighty quitter and you didn't need help. What's your point?
Other things you may consider doing today,
Drive 200 miles per hour then hold a press conference that you never were a NASCAR driver and you did not need any professional lessons on tightly gripping the stick. But you made it around the track and now your most likely the next Ricky Bobby.
Put a bandaid on your post coital bleeding asshole and then call the cheif of medicine at the Mayo clinic and tell him you never went to med school and that you have your own theory on how to cure herpes that involves a 9 Iron, a shaved weasel, a boiled cabbage and a tube of KY jelly.
Build yourself a house made out of straw and bullshit, then call the building department and tell em that your not infact a contractor, but your house is super awesome and a general knowledge of engineering is uneccesary for actual building.
I don't know, maybe sleeping at a holiday inn express makes you an expert, maybe not. But whats your point. Seems to me your either a troll, or your looking for validation for some reason. So ok your validated nice quit. Glad that worked for you, would I recommend it to anybody else? no I'd recommend they use the support of the group to help break the addiction. The chance of successfully quitting is much much higher than going it alone.
