I used the term, made it up, in a post to highlight the idea that quitting can/does happen in the seconds it takes to decide you’ve had enough, you’re done , never again.
The idea that recovery is an event and not a process. Quitting connotes an on going endeavor and implies employing a system or method or practice that will lead to a future state of ‘quitness’. At least that is the impression I have of the main thrust of recoveryism and why speaking of quitting and its ‘present -tense-ness’ is like catnip for the AV.
Quat is meant to connote a final state , in the present Quitting was everything we did that also included more drinks.
Don’t pass go, don’t collect two hundreds , no need ,just jump into Quat
