Share your quitting journey
Ladies and Gentleman my name is John Holmes. Yes, John Holmes, but I can assure you I am not that other John Holmes. Not even close lol. I know the jokes are likely to come. I come here today, not because I want to, nor do I care to become or stay a part of this community. I come here to clear up some things. First off, I have been mentioned on this site before. I am an ex smoker, I have been quit just short of 16 months. It feels great, and I can assure anyone here that it's the best thing you will ever do with your life. That's neither here nor there, I'm here for another purpose
Now for my reasoning to be here. (Wirerat123) is a coworker of mine, he's in the process of quitting as we speak, and he's reaching for help wherever he can get it. It seems not everyone who is claiming to be there to help are actually being helpful. After seeing him visibly distraught and struggling this morning, I wanted to see if I could help. Some of you here should be ashamed of yourselves. I have browsed through a few of his posts here, and I can not understand this campaign some of you people that are supposed to be here to help are on to run him away. Sure he could have handled himself a bit differently, but well, if you pay attention the guy didn't draw first blood, he was attacked by one of the very people on this site that is supposed to be looked up to for help and advice, then another, then another, and yet another after that. I know what I did to quit, and not one of you here will change what worked for me. Telling me otherwise is calling me a liar, and he felt that these leaders on this board were calling him a liar.
Seems that he's be accused of being a liar and a troublemaker around here by the people here that should be working hard and being patient to help others kick this disgusting habit. What's even worse about it is telling people about me is the reason he's being called a liar around here. In fact, me and two of my coworkers have used it together with support from each other to all quit about the same time and all three of us used e-cigarettes as part of our method. I can assure you they can work if done correctly. I never thought that someone bragging about my accomplishment would be attacked over it. I don't know what kind of place this is supposed to be, but if I liked to call myself a mature and decent person. After acting like some of you have acted here, I would be ashamed of myself. It's been pure childishness and stubborness than many of you have displayed here, and now I get to spend a part of my day trying to help my friend and coworker get hi head back right. he's a train wreck right now, and it's likely about the time he needs a place like this the most. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Those of you here who might be bothered by my post, I do not care, none of you here matter to me, you can reply, you can attack, you can deny the truth, whatever, attack away at me. But he does, he's a part of my REAL life. I'm going to offer him the support he needs, and should have been getting here, but instead got nothing but attacked and ganged up on.
Many of you leaders here should be ashamed of yourselves. Now I'm gone, I have better and more important things to do with my life than sit here wasting time scolding people on a website, you know who you are, grow up. I got someone I need to help. Good Bye, and good riddance.
