We pulled the membership tonight from a person who joined last January whose post today showed that he or she had been off smoking for 22 days. This person either did not understand our joining policies or did not understand our relapse policy.
Posting and remaining a member is futile if the understanding of addiction is not absorbed, acknowledged and vigilantly reinforced. That reinforcement can be sustained by reading even more than by writing. If a person loses a quit it is a sure sign that they did not keep their understanding or personal resolve reinforced.
Freedom's relapse policy is simple. Any member who relapses shall permanently lose posting privileges.
