A Welcome To Newbs
So, the 20xx class of New Year’s Resolution makers are here. LOOT is pretty damned sure you’ve all made and broken many of the very same promise before. Probably every year for the past 5, 10, 20 years? It’s OK…we’ve all done it.
What you need to do is some soul searching and figure out why 20xx will be the first time you didn’t lie to yourself and to your family. You found a site that can guide you. You have people on the exact same day as you. You have people who are close enough in days to know exactly how you feel and what you are going through.
Most importantly, you have many fine examples of people that have pretty lengthy quit. Guys that have walked the same road you are starting on and yet they find the time to come back and hang around your group to help you over the bumps in the road. The things is, you have to take advantage of it.
Silence on this board will kill your quit…and just may kill you deader than hell in the end. A lot of mindless babble goes on in these groups. When it happens and you are suffering, don’t feel like you are ruining the party by bringing up the fact that you are crawling the walls.
Simply put…fucking spill it! Throw it out there and LOOT can promise you the bullshit will stop and people will come in droves to support. See…support is what drives this place. The friendships you will build are secondary but priceless nonetheless.
If you internalize your struggles, LOOT can guarantee you will fail. Pessimistic? Perhaps, but true. We all know how difficult a journey this is…and we’ve all proven over the years that we can’t do it alone.
Welcome to the site men; take advantage of all it offers. Take advantage of the people who can shoulder some of your burden…and know that they will.
You’d walk through hell to be in LOOT’s quit shoes today…and you surely will.
