Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I am addicted to being quit with guys like you Boomdrum.

Thanks BD, I am movie illiterate and will rent that one and watching it will have more significance because of your post.  Also I look forward to my next day free of Nicotine.  Sometimes a good movie does a lot to adjust the proper perspective.

Hi Matt! This movie is an oldie, but a goodie. McQueen won best actor in '63. The TV series Hogan's Heroes was based on this movie. The movie was also based on a true story!

Good luck in your quit my friend and let me know if can help in any way.

Happy Memorial Day! I'm 27 days nic-free today.

The Great Escape is my favorite war movie. People like to complain about Hollywood and Television, etc...but damnit if they didn't give us some great war movies. Steve McQueen is the coolest.

I've never been in the military, but I'm in a battle with a 35-year addiction to nicotine. 27 days in and I'm winning. I'm fucking Steve McQueen digging through the nicotine tunnel!!

Thank you to all who serve/have served our country and communities!

Let's keep quit and make the great escape together!


Ironically, Steve McQueen may have died from cancer caused by activities while serving our country...God bless Steve McQueen.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McQueen#Death

A few months before his death, McQueen had given a medical interview in which he blamed his condition on asbestos exposure.[68] While McQueen felt asbestos used in movie soundstage insulation and race-drivers' protective suits and helmets could have been involved, he believed his illness was a direct result of massive exposure while removing asbestos lagging from pipes aboard a troop ship during his time in the Marines.[69][70]

Check your PM for my digits.

Don't forget the Live Chat if you go berserk. I used on numerous occasions and it helped. Just keep your head down through the fog and take out your frustrations on us instead of your family.

You guys rock! Jolly Ranchers, seeds and Smoky Mountain helped me through today. Totally getting some Atomic Fireballs!

Thanks again!

Good to have you boomdrum. You won't be sorry. Taking your life back is the greatest. I took my life back 76 days ago,, and I also started at a young age. It's not been easy, but it's been so worth it. Life is so much better without the can. Your going to go through a lot of changes in the next couple weeks. All that's happening is your body is fixing what you have been messing up for umpteen years. Glad to be quit with you. Take your life back one day at a time.

Hey Boomdrum. Welcome to the party. You have had some pretty good advice so far, so I will just add a little information that you might find usefull in the next few days, weeks or months. Check the upper top right of your screen and you will see an "inbox". Open it, as I have sent you my cell number. Store the number and call me when you feel the need to talk to someone or before you feel like going to the store to get a can. This is one of the safe-guard mechanisms we use here to help each other out. You will get alot more numbers from others and you will mentor others as well. I used tobacco for 45 years, so I guess I am a little bit qualified to speak about its addictive qualities...and I quit 167 days ago with help from this site and the folks on here. Welcome aboard.

Well done, Boomdrum! Embrace the suck! Turn the tables on the Nic Bitch. Laugh at that withdrawals and the craves. You're in charge now...not her.

Withdrawal symptoms are a privilege reserved to those who have the guts to post roll and keep their word. You GET to feel this crappy because YOU had the guts to quit. They are the feeling of freedom.

One day at a time, brother. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

[AppleJack]

Atomic fireballs. Get some :)
Welcome in dude. You won't do this alone. Newbie or Vet, we all do this the same as you... One day at a time. Quitting right along with you... PM if you need anything. Rock it, bro...

Boom, welcome to the site! Remember these early days, they will be the key for you later. I quit with you, reach out if you need anything.
