Likely, but it probably looked a little different than the kind of "quitting" we would picture ourselves. For example, I like to imagine that's more or less what Hitler was thinking one particularly fateful day in 1945.

Most people can't really face their mistakes once they have gone that deep. They may not even be willing to admit that they were actually mistakes, they'll probably still blame others.
