My Intro

[Steakbomb18]

Bumping this pretty pathetic story line back to the top. Read through the first 5 pages of this intro and you'll get the impression that this is a stud quitter. Then right around the middle of page 7 you find the makings of a serial caver. If you want the full story, read June 2018 starting around page 275 ...if your like reading drama novels, have at it. I thought it sucked and said "F this bullshit" after the first paragraph. Any quitter knows that 1 problem + nicotine = 2 problems.

Anyhow, if you do happen to scroll backwards on this intro, there are a lot of veterans who were on Yemtig's quit train; a good number of them are some of the best quitters I've encountered. That group of "best" quitters are all posting huge 4 digit numbers today. Why? Because we post roll every damn day. Yemtig is back in the double digits (again). Why is that? He stopped posting roll.

Man, this pisses me off.

A truly pathetic and cautionary tale.

Caves after 2+ years...
Comes back with the same excuses we've heard a thousand times...

Nothing.


Pathetic.

Truly shows me how much control nicotine can have if you give it an inch. Pisses me off this poison has that much power. Ugghhhh I hate seeing guys lose the battle.

Yemtig chose to give it that power. His series of sociopathic caves were his choice.

We failed for years before finding Ktc and going all in. He had the same opportunity. He chose to be weak. Yemtig needs to be banned. His lies and weakness have no place here.

There is no surprise in his weakness. Thankfully, he is an outlier in a sea of bad-ass quitters.

Good riddance.

Yemtig is posting a day 2 now in October. Why? Because although he had brotherhood at his fingertips (and along with it, accountability), he chose to fade away from posting. Even when chased, he couldn't buy in. He felt he was "cured". He felt he had took all he needed from this site, and his brothers. Right there is why he failed ... he always took, only looking to benefit himself, never paying it back. How fucking selfish can you be that you don't engage with those trying to help you? Deep down inside, an addict truly wants to remain anonymous. There is an "out" built into that anonymity. No engagement = no brotherhood. No brotherhood = no accountability. No brotherhood, no accountability = failure.

I'm typing this not for Yemtig's benefit. My attitude has been and always will be that if you go back on your word, you're dead to me. There is no reset button, no 2nd chances. I'm typing this for the benefit of any newbs reading it. Go back and look through this intro. You'll see a lot of brothers reaching out, to be met mostly with silence. Newbs, build your network. Get some digits. USE THEM. Don't ever feel like you can beat this shit solo ... because you can't. Yemtig @ almost 700 days quit proved that.

Don't be a Yemtig. Quit, and stay quit. Independence day has a whole new additional meaning now for you guys. I'm celebrating my third one free of nicotine. Damn straight I'll keep stacking them. Never again for any reason.

Smeds - 812 days of good decisions, all lead-off by posting my promise.

Smeds gets it.

I read another caver's answers to caver questions this morning... Here is a summary..,

I'm seeing a therapist.
Quitting was hard and driving me crazy.
I caved for my family's sake because I was mean.

I'm normally pretty calm on Ktc, but for fuck's sake... Post your promise, keep your word. That it. There are only 2 reasons for caving. 2. One of them isn't job stress. Or to help your family (which is the most offensive bullshit answer I've ever read). Only 2. Did you let your brothers  sisters down by not posting? Did you not honor your team? Or did you lie and cave after posting.

If you cave, the reason is one of these 2. That's it. Quit or don't quit. But don't be a half asser.

"No engagement = no brotherhood. No brotherhood = no accountability. No brotherhood, no accountability = failure."

Outstanding. There will always be a chink of your quit armor if you do not participate and build accountabilty, the nic bitch will find a way in when the door is left cracked open.
Thanks Smeds.
