Aww man. That was good shit.

Duffle bags got his head on straight. Just has to get used to some drama. But I agree, he's too green to drift away.

Me and some dope who I don't see on here anymore got after it. It happens. For as much testosterone there is on this site I'm surprised it doesnt happen more often to be honest.

Don't let the drama get to you pocket protector, its good theater sometimes, and if you feel strongly about something don't be afraid to step foot into the ring and mix it up. Its good for you once in awhile .

Safe travels.

Hey all, quick update.Ã,  Still a very strong and committed quit going so I am good there.Ã,  I have been off the forums the last week or so since i take issue with how some folks have been treated and that creates a lightening rod that seems to irritate many, myself included.Ã,  i simply dont need the drama and to be fair i suspect others feel the same about me.Ã,  all water under the bridge, but an update for any that have wondering.

I am however off on vacation for 8 days to Arizona with the family and I will do my best to post.Ã,  Just wanted folks to know.

Hey Shed,

that is what brothers do, we fight but we are also there for each other. Have a great vacation and if you got numbers go ahead and use them as this is the perfect time to do so.

Am with ya quit every day

Love Love Love the Update! I will quit with you any damn day! "I need you and you need me, and together we can be nic free! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!

Shed, I knew your quit was still solid. Enjoy the vacation, get your ass on roll while your gone. I enjoy your posts and have missed them the last week or so. You need anything give me a shout, xxx-xxx-xxxx (edited by wastepanel-send as a pm next time).

Thanks ig2h, I got your number and may use it in a jam.

Hey I just met you. And this is crazy. But I gave you my number. So call me maybe...to post for you, or to vent, or whatever. Have fun.

Tool, almost a year ago I was where you are. I suffered rage and thought a whinny caver was getting some damn harsh treatment. Day 8 and 9 I raged at Bruce and then got hit by massive cravings. It took me several weeks to come around to KTCs way of helping. The tough love may seem harsh but in reality many who come to quit aren't ready and will cave. To coddle them does nothing good for anyone. When we sympothise with a weak caver we weaken our own quit, it's a form of planned cave because we understand why someone would cave, "hell I could be that guy and cave." After fighting the urge to cave or sympothise with a caver we win one battle at a time but the addict mind will search for another angle to attack. Be very careful you are on a slippery slope.

Tackle Box, , be careful would ya. You gotta have a short memory when you mix it up on the forums. Hell, some doucher told me to go have a panic attack and chest pains. It stung but I think before that I said I was gonna rub his nose in shit like a bad dog and something else about my balls and his wife...either way you gotta let it go like a soon to be 6 plopper with a crowning turtle head.


Peeps may piss you off and vice versa. But don't you ever let that get in the way of your quit. That will always be deserving of top billing. One of the many things that help a quit is chimming in on different topics. Whether it be in agreement, disagreement, offering an opinion, providing encouragement, laying out some tough love, or gathering #'s for when you're in need of a late night rub and tug...it helps tremendously to BE INVOLVED. Helping others and getting your thoughts and ideas out there can help more than your know. So don't go drifting away like some dead mackerel. Stick around around and stick your nose in shit like a sword fish. You have much to provide this site, besides a lubed up turd cutter.

Have fun on your vacation. Bring me back a petrified rock, stay quit and you best post roll for those 8 days.

You wanna know why coming to Arizona on vacation is awesome? Because there is cell phone service and internet here!

Seriously, where you headed? If you find yourself in Phoenix and have a little time look me up, my number is yours for the taking.

Tool shed, I used to question your integrity with all the comments you make about the Packers, then today I see your avatar is Wisconsin Rugby.Ã,  I take back most of the things I was thinking.Ã,  Fellow rugger here, and since I know the amount of chew taking place in the sport in the midwest, I'll quit with you.

Kubiak - Purdue Rugby and Bears fan

Hey Kubiak, that means a great deal to me, thanks. I would never let a football team get in the way of a good quit, hell, many of best friends are Bear fans and I go really easy on them, just like they did to me in the 80's when they Pack couldn't hardly score against the Bears, let alone win.

You got that right about rugby, way too much dip in that sport in the Midwest and the sport is growing here at the same time so I fear many young men will fall into the same trap as me and have to fight the same battle. That sucks.

I have played rugby since the early 80's and retired for all but old boys matches in 02. I finally finally figured if I could win the Midwest, go to and win nationals, win at rugger fest in aspen in over 45's division, I could quit this nic bitch that has haunted me for so long. Thanks for your support.

Shed

You sir are not only a badass for taking on this pathetic addiction, but for your rugby resume as well. I am only 37 and have yet to take advantage of the old boys competition, but this year I started coaching rugby with my 4th grade stepson and I'm hoping to get more involved with the game again.

As for the sport and its addictions, I feel that if the American game evolves from being a fringe sport full of badasses to being more mainstream, hopefully the attitudes will also evolve. As I played a higher level of rugby, I learned that the sport becomes exponentially more beautiful as you add phases to the play, that by avoiding the "crash, crash, crash" midwest style embraced by ex-american football players, and by teaching to not only get the ball out to the backs but then support them, then preparing for the 3rd phase of that next pass after the breakdown... it takes a higher level of player to intelligently play this game properly, and hopefully appeal to more than those just looking for the good parties. Of course, that may have left me out, but I digress.

Baseball is still suffering with its addictions, but it's a boring sport. Rugby shouldn't have these excuses. In fact, with education of the physical, neurological and cardiovascular side effects, hopefully some day it will be so frowned upon that it just goes away.

Thanks For the kind words Kubiak. I love the game of rugby and miss being a part of it, but with young kids, too many weekends away, 6 broken noses (including one a week before my wedding), and rugby party hangovers lasting longer and longer, it was time to hang up the boots. I should have hung up the Copenhagen at the same time, but you know hindsight. I view the rugby successes i achieved completely team accomplishments, much like quitting the nic bitch, we all need help. I also came to the realization that it has become a young mans game. You are right that it was all crash, crash, crash, tight ball, mauling, a forwards game that was not really viewer friendly. The game is now all about fast, which I can say was never my strong suit. Rucking, multiple phases, a thing of beauty when played well.

So here I am 3 weeks in and I have some thoughts for newbies and old boys alike:

1. Check your ego at the door, we all need help and we have brothers here offering to help. Don't go it alone, we all know that didn't work the first time or the tenth time or we wouldn't be here.
2. Get mad, get angry, hate that nic bitch that controlled you.
3. Don't just think about the bitch when you crave, think about how you beat it in between craves. Celebrate success.
4. QLF
5. Post roll, promise, commit, repeat.
6. Help others and pay forward the support you received from others to those that need it now
7. Strap in dicks, this one's gonna hurt. But it is all worth it.
8. One day at a time, like the story of the old bull and young bull on the hill looking down at a heard of cows. The young one says "let's run down and f*^k one of those cows." The old bull replies, "no, let's walk down and f*^k them all."

I am proud to be quit with all of you today and I will make the same promise tomorrow.

good to see more ruggers on here

index.php?showtopic=4573

any chance you guys are coming to st louis ruggerfest?

I've heard this is a great tournament but I'll have to pass until the kids are in high school. Great find on that thread, I was feeling lonely over there. Maybe we could relocate and stop sabotaging Hammer House's intro.
