Good morning folks...It has come a time in my life where I NEED to quit. I've been hounding myself for years about doing so and I always "well I'll quit after this can" or "soon as hunting season is over" or "after race season" etc. I'm sure I'm not alone in this and I can tell you...it SUCKS. I've never been into any type of drug or heavy on the alcohol, but I can tell I'm facing the same feelings as a crack head. Why do we do things we know are bad for us? Why must I have nicotine to function? What is the answer... Cold turkey? Taper off? Meds? Fake chew? Where do I start this crappy voyage? I have tried gum, peppermints, sunflower seeds until my gums bleed, I started a program through some college a few years ago and stayed quit for 3 months with the help of the little Nicorette lozenges and put on 30 lbs because I was at the time working surveillance 'ninja' ...so all I did was ate. Someone please tell me, WHAT CAN I DO? I'm sitting here wanting and wishing to quit and honestly, have a grizzly wintergreen tucked comfortably between my cheek and gum...messed up right...real determined huh? Feel like a P.O.S. for wanting to quit and just not doing so. I started dipping in 2004 in the Marines and for the passed 11 years, have been a hostage to the Grizz. Someone please give me a kick in the ass to start this thing. I have read a dozen or so HOF stories and wanna be that guy/gal that push themselves. I've been to war (OIF 2-2), I currently work in law enforcement which is damn near a daily war cowboy , run Tough Mudders and other physically grueling activities 'zombie' , outsmarted the craftiest of wild game and taken them with various weapons both modern and primal 'Remshot' ...but I can't find a way to conquer a $2.39 habit that can kill me twice as painful as the other challenging tasks I've faced in the past 'bang head' . I need a kick in the ass so someone please reach out and give me the push I need to ask myself wtf I'm doing. Thanks in advance. 'help'

Best decision is to quit, plain and simple. You are going to get bombarded in here with advice. Listen and learn.
Cold Turkey is the only way to go. The nicotine will be out of your body in something like 3 days then the rest is mental.
Cold Turkey means just that. No nicotine whatsoever.
I quit 626 days ago and at first it sucked but it gets easier fairly quickly.
Hit up the Welcome Center and read all you can. Learn how to post roll. I believe your group will be February 2016. That the month you will hit 100 days of quit.
The plan is pretty simple. There are 3 steps.
1). Post Roll Daily in the am. Roll is your promise that you won't use nicotine for the day.
2). Be a man of your word.
3). Be active in here and make some new friends who are fighting the same daily battle.
-
Dive in, flush the chew down the toilet, post roll with the February 2016 quit group, exchange digits with them and build a support network.
You will find many quitters with military and law enforcement backgrounds. Seek them out for support. As Raider said above, it sucks for a while, but you can beat it and life gets better.

did you ever have any "relapses" or whatever? That's my biggest fear. I'm afraid I'll get half way in, something will happen, and I'll fall off the wagon as I've done before. I know I have to trust myself and the word of experienced others but to me, I'm wondering how quitters (and I mean that in a good way) have had "one for old times sake". I'm not ready to give it up and can't imagine my life without it...I just have to for me. When your 3 year old is bringing you his empty bottles to spit it...it kinda kicks you in the balls. I know they say don't do it for anyone but yourself because you'll resent the one you "doing it for" but who can blame that still voice saying "do it for him man".

There are quitters in here that have gone through death in the family, divorce, and everything in between. They are still quit.
You cannot let the nic bitch back into your head. She will do whatever she can to get you to relapse. Tell her to eff off and move on.
You will not succeed until you learn to hate nicotine and realize that you have to quit.
I had so much happen during my first 100 days. Normally during a previous stoppage these thing would have caused me to cave. That's why I dove in and I post roll every damn day. I now have a great extended family watching my six.
Do you want it bad enough? Are you a man if your word? Are you ready? Flush it all and begin living life for you.
-
The relapses are a challenge. Everyone here has relapsed in the past, "stopping" the addiction for a while. What KTC helps us do is "quit."
The key is the daily roll post, where we publish our promise to not use nicotine for 24 hours. Anyone can quit for one day, and that promise binds us against nicotine's temptation. The future is out of our reach, but today we can beat nicotine.
Exchanging digits so a quick text or call when something happens can reinforce quit and avoid the relapse. Problem + nicotine = 2 problems.
You ask if I fear a relapse... Yes I do. But I know that if I wake up, post roll and promise no nicotine today, I won't relapse today. So I can get through today without a relapse, and am a little stronger for tomorrow.
-
You'll hear EMBRACE THE SUCK a lot in here. And ain't it the truth. Think about how awful those first few days are.. embrace it, burn it into your memory cells. Think that if you stay quit, you will never have to go through that again.
I have craves, still, and tell myself that as bad as it is for me, its worse for someone else in the FEB 2016 group, the JAN 2016 group, the DEC 2015 group... i just man up, grab the sack and quit on!
Selfish nic bitch used to console me saying that my quit was harder than anyone else, just have a quick one, you've quit for almost 100 days this time, you're good, you can quit anytime.
COLD TURKEY is the only way. Man up. You can do this!! Post every day, get active in your group, exchange digits... use the mass of knowledge and experience on this site. Some vets may be tough on you, and you may feel like leaving the site. Pretty soon a light bulb will go off and you will 'get it".
Before you know it, you[ll be reaching out to a newbie like yourself, THAT my friend is what this site is all about, support up and down the line.
Its all been said: drink water, exercise, get some fake, or gum or seeds.. in the end you'll find what works for you.
I AM STILL AN ADDICT but I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE. CAn you come join me and the rest of the bad ass quitters here??
-
I think vets (military, war, and nic) is what I need. My skin is thick and I can take a "suck it buttercup" and whatever kind remarks anyone can dish out. I need people that will be hard on me and cuss me out when I'm expressing feelings of wanting to bum a quit. I will make this promise to myself, buy no more. It's hard because I stop at a gas station every morning on the way to work to get me a mountain dew and a pack of nabs. I'll just have to hit up sam's club or visit the "people of walmart" to grab that stuff to eliminate the need to stop. When I quit dipping for the three months (still wasn't nic free because of the lozenges) the gas station folks were pissed because that's $6 less I was spending a day on the 2 cans (always have one back up incase I get caught at work) but were all "good for you, that stuff will rot your face off) I was proud to not be dipping but I still had nic so I was good. I think this ride is going to suck far worse. As one of you mentioned (best advice I've seen yet might I add) you only have to go through this crap once...very true and I'll take that and run with it. I wanna do it, I'm ready, just need to stay true to my own word. No one peer pressures me worse than I do and I'm my own bad influence.
-
Good call!
Post roll with this group: topic/11383298/149/ (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11383298/149/)
You will find marines here, say hello: topic/1006068/95/ (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1006068/95/)
In each go to the highest numbered page post a hello. Exchange digits for the accountability.
You got this.
-
Stop naval gazing and get in there and post roll marine. That is your promise that just for today you will not use nicotine in any form. Are you a man of your word?
-
naval gazing. HA. Looking forward to being a quitter for the first time in my life at anything. My concentration will go to sh*t I'm sure. Maybe I'll but toothpicks or coffee straws or something to chew on to keep my from grinding my teeth out. I think I'm ready for the long haul fellas. I'll tell the gas station lady to hit me in the nuts if I ask for my Grizzly wintergreen pouches in the morning...

are you worried that the fine folks at the gas station will be pissed because you aren't helping them pay their bill? fuck that that's stupid. fuck them. or continue to poison yourself out of making them happy.
One day at a time is all you can do, you know what? You can do this! You have to want it though.
Question is do you really want to quit?

Anybody can be an addict. Only the best of the best can quit.
I was a dlave to Kodiak for 25 years before finding this place. I'd like to think that a marine is more bad ass than some soft paper pusher like me...
If I can do this, I'm sure you can. But you have got to want this like nothing you've ever wanted before. You have to believe us when we tell you that the freedom that is ahead is unlike life as you know it. That the health benefits and money benefits are great, but the freedom is indescribable. You are quit. No lozenges. No cigars. No patch. It takes real balls to do this. You've got them, marine. Ho post roll and prove that you want this. Stop playing around and quit like a quitter.

Hey Marine thanks for your service. Hopefully your not to big a pus to put that little tin that you love so much down. Wow it really is a shame that a grown ass man can't make himself a promise for 24 hours and keep it! Guess that's why you haven't posted roll because your not man enough. Grab your sac man up and do this shit! Go in that damn gas station face your fucking enemy buy your mt.dew and smile, that's the way you handle adversity my friend don't hide from it! Face it! Post roll so your son will have a father , quit being a selfish prick ,time to be the man you claim to be! I'm saying you can't do this, prove me wrong! I quit with you!
-
Like Pab said. Face it head on. I told all my suppliers when I quit and made them promise to never sell me that shit again.
I walked into s Wal-Mart one day and the nic bitch was begging for me to come back. Right then and there, out loud, I told her to Fuck Off. You can do it.
Post fucking roll and be quit
-
Pab...yr a dick. We Gunna get along just fine haha. Exactly the push I need for real. I didn't post roll for the sole fact that I'm going to tonight after actual day one tobacco Free. Yesterday was my final eff you to the grizzly. Just stopped by my gas station and didn't buy my usual. Ended up with 3 packs of chewing gum, seeds, mints, and a pack of Twinkies. It all might last until noon haha. Keep me motivated fellers, y'all are my back up. So with that said... KISS MY ASS NICOTINE...
-
Hell yeah! Awesome to hear. Quit on and we are here for you.
I hit day 100 today and never thought it was possible. You have got this Marine.
I quit with you and if you need me for anything let me know.
-
gunna go Post roll if I can figure it out. I really hope work doesn't block this site. Most forums and other sites like this are blocked on the govt computers...they better not or I'll flip shit. I can't go 8 hours without the motivation...I CAN but don't want to. I've been watching this site on here for 2 year now, enrolled last month, and made the actual decision to quit being a jackass and speak out. So here goes nothing, going to post roll.
-
I think I posted roll. Messed up the first time and posted for the 15th...oops. I got it straightened out though and posted for today. can't get my head together anticipating the symptoms and headaches and stuff. The curiosity is killing me right now.

"First to Fight"
Marines have been in the forefront of every American war since the founding of the Corps. They have carried out over 300 landings on foreign shores. They have served everywhere, from the poles to the tropics. Their record of readiness reflects pride, responsibility and challenge.

We all crave that's when you reach out! Whatever you do remember you promised me you would not dip today ,if that means chewing on a sock ,so be it! Stay focused, you can do this! If everything was easy everyone would be a Marine!
-
Only way you can fuck up roll is by not posting. Congrats on day 1 of roll
Kingnothing I was driving while posting that :)

Interesting....I sense an edit coming, but wanted to make sure the original didn't get lost just to screw with you EHC cowboy
-
Yeah Pab..im doin aight. been a long damn day at work I can tell you that much. doing good though
-
Nicely done marine, posted roll! That is what we do. That is the secret here. Fight like hell all day to keep that promise. Yes you can do this.
I asked you earlier if you were a man of your word. Are you? That makes all the difference here. Your February brothers and sisters are now counting on you.
-
yes I am. haven't used anything today and have no plans in doing so. I'm really not feeling that bad yet but tomorrow will tell

^^^dick
Haha
Just remember - you are only quitting for today. You can do anything for a day. You could have sex with Janet Reno for a day if you had to. See, I bet that got your mind off craves. Sweet sweet Janet Reno...
One day at a time, sir. Have you got that dick's phone number in your phone? He is a damn fine mentor...
-
Yeah I just puked a little.. Janet reno...? Really dude haha. That makes me want to bypass dip and go straight to crack haha. I haven't gotten any numbers yet on here, still new. Gunna take me a while tomorrow to figure out how to post roll from my cell phone so any tips are appreciated.

There is an inbox in the upper right corner. Check there for phone numbers. I'll send mine and I bet that dick Pab will send his too.
Here's another visual. Big Ang. Look her up. Oh yeah baby. Nicotine has done wonders for that, uh, person.
I only post roll from my iPhone. Go to the bottom of the last page in your group. Press"quote". Tap on the text in the second box (the first one will be blank), then "select all"will pop up. Tap that. Then "cut" will pop up. Click that.
Tap on the first box (blank). "Paste" will pop up. Tap that. The text from the second box (now blank) appears in the first box. Scroll to the bottom of where new quitters names are and add your name. Then click "post reply" at the bottom. Done.
You'll fuck it up the first few times. Only Air Force or navy get it right the first time. Haha
Janet Reno and Big Ang on a California King. Oh hell yeah.
-
I'll get er done soon as someone starts it for today. Apparently I'm the only asshole up a tree at 530am on a Tuesday haha. Woke up several times last night, head pounding and feeling dehydrated, I guess it begins. My body is wanting nic but I really don't so guess what... I win.

The Feb 2016 is screwed up - dont worry becuase that happens in all the new groups. Just get on there and post even if you are first. Soon you'll learn how to edit the header, clear the roll for the prior day and start it fresh. We were lucky and had a brother in Switzerland who always started roll in the middle of the night.
You made it through day one and are back. That is what we do. Make that promise for today. Use WorktoWin's repulsive images if you need to. whatever it takes.
The nic bitch is real and your mind can be tricked if you start thinking too hard. You only need to remember your promise for today, that you are a man of your word, and your brothers are counting on you.
-
Made it through day 2. Feeling good. Need to either find a retailer for Smokey Mountain or order online. That seemed to take my mind off of things when the bug bit.

Most walmarts carry it. It help me off and on up to 300. Marine you're doing great, I want you to make it as bad if not worse than you do. 6 guys on my crew dip, I find it so gross now, look like a bunch damn hillbilly rednecks, to think I was same way,Disgusting! You will crave and to me that was by far (still is at time's) the worst part. Remember this always have something for the oral fix until you can laugh it off. I can now most of the time. Let's do this my friend! Together is much stronger, quit on! Odaat!
-
I never liked anything but the cope flavor. Since my quit smokey mountain straight and wintergreen is my go to. Use it as you need it. No shame in the fake stuff.
-
Time to post roll for day 3 and be nic free one mo again! Damn I'm loving this
-

Winning is sweet. No pain no gain.
After years of losing at this, each day of winning gets better. Day 3 is a big one. The nicotine makes it final exit from the marines body today!
-
Congrats Marine! Proud to watch you fight this fight. I quit with you today.
-
Day 3 is coming to an end and been a decent day... Up until my back went out moving an 8' shop bench by myself. Back hurts like a mofo but hey... I don't want dip so guess I'm still a winner. I'll take tomorrow off, get the back looked at, and either kick back or piddle in the shop. Might road trip around to find Smokey Mountain chew. Sunflower seeds got me through today but my gums are chewed up from the salt haha

Marine I'm starting to feel good about you getting this done! Attitude goes a long ways in this. To me the craves are definitely the hardest of all the withdrawas. Keep talking the talk and walking the walk! You have my number, don't hesitate to use it. Quit on my brother!

Is it in the shelves behind the counter or with the other stop soda like nicorette? Or local Walmart here didn't carry it (or they were idiots and didn't look.) Day 4 here we go.. Straight to the chiropractors office. Then back to Walmart again.
-
Thanks pab. I'm feeling good about it too. I'm fighting LESS now than I did on Nicorette lozenges few years back. I'll keep smacking the stride gum, spitting seeds, and pounding water.

Oh... And roll posted. Day 4

Roll posted for day 6. Think I finally got the hang of things. Cravings gone, head back to normal, back still out for the season I think, but I'm nic free. I've never been as proud of anything in my life (except kids of course), nothing compares

^^^ this is dead on right.
Only the baddest of bad asses can do this. After years of losses at this... Each day of win is pretty sweet. One day at a time, it gets even better.

Day 7 fellers. Been a quick week that's for damn sure. Think I'll start dipping again because it made my days off last longer!! NOT, someone feel free to pluck me in the pecker head for even saying that haha. I tell ya, I probably wouldn't have lasted a week without the support I've gotten from KTC. I've had no real support back home but it isn't their fault. They haven't ever had to quit dipping or anything so they don't know exactly how hard it is. It ain't easy and it would have been damn near impossible without the kind and gentle eff you's I've gotten here. Thanks for making one week bearable and leaving me looking forward to posts of motivational slander. Keep em coming.

you know I actually heard a cure for getting kicked in the nuts this morning. Sit in indian style and have two people pick you up and drop your dead on your ass from about 10-12 inches off the ground. supposed to be instant relief. this came from a sports med major and my question to him....what if you land back on your nuts?

Bow to the ballz man, bow to the ballz.
How goes the quit marine? You liking the feeling of winning? Kicking years of losing to the curb? Feeling your lip not feel like you've rubbed it in Drano? Love pocketing a few extra bucks a day? I bet you do.

Hey yeah it feels good. Saving the money, saving my life, saving my wife from remarrying and making some other man miserable when I die (just kidding... Maybe). Today is day ten and I quit with y'all. Headed to post roll then clean a decent 7 pointer I took yesterday evening.

Daaaaamn. This is good for so many reasons:
1) That is a monster of a deer 'Remshot'
2) That thing about your wife is really funny 'nutkick'
3) Congrats on double digits 'BanDog'
Keep it up Marine, you're killing it!

My family drove to GA to be with more family so I was home alone this year. Went and ate with my parents and sister though so it was still a blessed evening. My father got choked and thank the Lord for my ability not to panic like everyone else did. He was fixing to pass out and the Heimlich unjammed whatever was stuck. He was in rough shape though, told me today he started to fade and didn't even see, hear, feel me doing the Heimlich on him. scary shit but I'm thankful he's ok. told him his 69 year old ass needs to learn how to chew his food. He's a Marine as well so think he'll listen? Probably not....he's going to the specialist to get is esophagus stretched out (probably just to spite so he doesn't have to learn to chew his food...) just messing, love the ole fart.

I've done it before to my kids (back blows) and it sucks every time. Scares the hell out of ya. Had it done to me last year at annual training. I got choked on a damn fire ball and you talking about hurting. That sumbitch felt like it was burning its way out. Someone said something, I laughed, and it sucked right down. I wanted to die right there haha. Thanks for the motivation. Coming up on 2 weeks. I think at 6 months I'll jack my Jeep wrangler up couple good inches...gunna start a discussion in 3.....2......1.....

Has anyone treated themselves to something special on big quit milestones? I have it figured out to this; on average my grizz was about 2.50/ can. I used about a can and a half/day so. In a 6 month time that's $684.38. If I can keep my wife from spending it on useless shit....that'll get me a good 4" lift for my Jeep Wrangler. 'army'

Blinged out my garage. Gladiator cabinets. Diamond tread rubber floor. Gear track for my tools. Bamboo workbench. Not chewing is very profitable.

Checking in with everyone. Been slackin on roll call but I've made it each day. Been crazy busy with farm, work, etc and haven't been able to post until the evening. Still holdin strong though. Getting ready for Christmas and stuff has been a good thing to get my mind off my long forgotten friend Grizzly Wintergreen Pouches. The folks at the gas station are impressed and asked how I made it look so easy. no secret there, told em about the site and suggested it to them. Check in folks, lemme know how yall are doing.

Look Marine, excuses are like assholes most of us have one or live with one, either way wake up ,take your 2 minutes to respect yourself and quit family by posting roll! Take a minute and read some other slackers who posted "whenever they had time" there no longer with us! Quit on!

'Crazy' you care what the clerks at the gas station think, but you don't care enough about your quit or your quit brothers to post early? And for crying out loud, nicotine was never your friend. Unless you call something that steals your money, your time, your integrity and could give a shit if it steals your life, a friend.
Get back on track marine. Quit with you!

I'm doing great marine_2002. I post roll here as soon as I am awake in the morning and then I check to make sure that others in my group got here too. Don't slack - be a leader, your quit will be stronger if you lead rather than follow.

Damn... you boys are rough. At least I'm posting...shit. LOL Trust me, if I could post earlier each day I would. Life is unpredictable when you work in a federal prison and more specifically part of a special team that gets called in all hours of the night. Things get crazy and I may go 2-3 days without seeing a cell phone/computer until night time. When you get the call to get here NOW...you tend to leave all that shit home haha. Don't confuse my "excuses" with bullshit because I simply forgot or slipped. Hard to explain to the Marshalls or FBI that I was late because I forgot my cell phone haha. But for real, I appreciate the kick in the nuts. Glad to hear from you fellas.

Hi marine. Glad the quit is going well. You've gotten some expert counsel from some bad ass quitters.
Keep up the quit. One day at a time it gets better.

Good morning all...Once again, I am here posting about me. Why? Because I am a proud quitter. I was a slave to the nic for almost 12 years and quitting was by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do for myself. I'm no one special, no hall of famer (yet), and certainly no standard for anyone to follow. I am just here to offer support for those wanting to quit and not doing so. 90% of us on here probably read posts from those who have quit for months before taking the plunge and doing it ourselves. You're here for the same reasons we all are...to quit. The things going through your head right now are probably what you need to listen to. "I need to quit! these folks did...I can to! I want to be in the hall of fame. I want to earn the HOF coin" You need to kick out the negative bastards in your head like 'after this can...I will on new years...after hunting season....etc" All those are a great way to NOT quit.
I posted the topic title for my day 26 roll call and realized...I'll use this. It is exactly that...want it, feel it, be it. You have to want to quit for yourself...no one else. Want it bad enough to challenge yourself and actually do it. FEEL IT....nothing in life ever comes easy. Getting rid of the nicotine in your body will suck! Days 2 and 3 will be your worse so get through the headaches, foggy feeling, anger, irritation, etc and you're golden. Someone once told me, feel the side effects and remember them. You only have to live through that once so use those ill feelings to remind yourself to never again become a slave. I didn't think I could do it. You'll think "just one pinch to knock the edge off." NO cold turkey is just that and the best way. Don't let the little devil on your shoulder push you into "one more to kill the headache"...take a damn advil and drink water. Find something that works for you like gum, seeds, jerky, smokey mountain snuff (all natural and you'll feel the burn like a 'real' dip) or any other tobacco/nicotine free alternative. You can do this.
Finally....BE QUIT. You'll always want to use dip, but you won't need it. The WANT comes from being a creature of habit. You WANT it because it's something you are used to. Shake off the want, find something else, and be proud that you went another day. Wake up every morning and post roll making that promise. You will have days where first in the morning aren't possible (I'm guilty at that) but I always make it by the end of the day. People will reach out to you, help you, motivate you, and give you the guidance YOU want. Ask them to be tough on you, text you, call you, swap numbers, etc. And you can do this. I am on day 26 and I haven't missed roll yet, I've come close a few times and trust me...I caught pure hell for it. So with this said, pull up your big girl panties, toss the can, grab nic by the balls, and take charge of you own life...you'll be glad.

Find something that works for you like gum, seeds, jerky, smokey mountain snuff (all natural and you'll feel the burn like a 'real' dip) or any other tobacco/nicotine free alternative. You can do this.
Finally....BE QUIT. You'll always want to use dip, but you won't need it. The WANT comes from being a creature of habit. You WANT it because it's something you are used to. Shake off the want, find something else, and be proud that you went another day. Wake up every morning and post roll making that promise. You will have days where first in the morning aren't possible (I'm guilty at that) but I always make it by the end of the day. People will reach out to you, help you, motivate you, and give you the guidance YOU want. Ask them to be tough on you, text you, call you, swap numbers, etc. And you can do this. I am on day 26 and I haven't missed roll yet, I've come close a few times and trust me...I caught pure hell for it. So with this said, pull up your big girl panties, toss the can, grab nic by the balls, and take charge of you own life...you'll be glad.
Well said sir! ^^
Just awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning all...Once again, I am here posting about me. Why? Because I am a proud quitter. I was a slave to the nic for almost 12 years and quitting was by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do for myself. I'm no one special, no hall of famer (yet), and certainly no standard for anyone to follow. I am just here to offer support for those wanting to quit and not doing so. 90% of us on here probably read posts from those who have quit for months before taking the plunge and doing it ourselves. You're here for the same reasons we all are...to quit. The things going through your head right now are probably what you need to listen to. "I need to quit! these folks did...I can to! I want to be in the hall of fame. I want to earn the HOF coin" You need to kick out the negative bastards in your head like 'after this can...I will on new years...after hunting season....etc" All those are a great way to NOT quit.
I posted the topic title for my day 26 roll call and realized...I'll use this. It is exactly that...want it, feel it, be it. You have to want to quit for yourself...no one else. Want it bad enough to challenge yourself and actually do it. FEEL IT....nothing in life ever comes easy. Getting rid of the nicotine in your body will suck! Days 2 and 3 will be your worse so get through the headaches, foggy feeling, anger, irritation, etc and you're golden. Someone once told me, feel the side effects and remember them.

Seems like you have a good understanding of what it means to be a quitter. Never forget what you've gone through so far and you'll never have to worry about repeating this. Keep quitting ODAAT and you'll continue getting stronger. Proud to have you!

I know personally I can't see myself going through what I've went through again. 1 time my friends is enough for me...

I'm noticing things left and right that I was missing and I'm sure more is to come. No time taken away from the kids to spit in a bottle, the wife likes to lay up on me at night (BOOYAH), teeth have whitened back up, gums aren't bleeding or sore, and so much more. Best decision ever. I never would have been able to do it without you motivating assholes helping me out.
