Title: Crusading to beat Cope
Post by: copecrusader on April 04, 2016, 08:28:00 PM
So here it is, me dropping my hands and giving up. I will not touch nor partake in another pinch, bandit, pouch or otherwise ingested nicotine. It feels like the weight of the world is lifted off of my shoulder, and at the same time, it feels like I am saying goodbye to a long time friend.
To be fair, Cope has been with me longer then any friend, or family. It was there in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was there when my son was born, and my daughter.
To be clear there isn't anything or anywhere that I have done and been that Cope wasn't there with me.

To be clear, I am currently about to finish my 4th day. First couple days were not difficult, like every other time that I had quit. But this one is scaring me. Other then my mouth killing me and the every so often anger. I have done pretty well with keeping my idle hands busy, and keeping gum and lifesavers close.

I worry.
when I walk into the gas station,
when I sit with a friend that is chewing
when I drive
when I eat
I worry.

Here is looking at a couple more days, before a couple more days.
Today is the evil that I will beat, Today. Tomorrow; I will get to that evil tomorrow.

First, congrats on freeing yourself from nicotine slavery. Second, nicely done on posting roll in the July 2016 group. (Hint: go to the highest numbered page and get the most recent roll post each morning). Get to know the quitters there, exchange digits, have backup for those "worry" moments.

Thanks for your service! Lots of military around here that can relate to your specific challenges. All of us can relate to nicotine addiction, and the suck and fog of gaining freedom from it.

I Worry.
That your still in love with it.
That it's still your identity.
That your affraid of peer pressure.
That you cant handle being still.
That it makes you feel better.
That you think it might even help you with..........?

Lie lie lie lie lie.
Either its killing you.
Or your killing it.
No walking the fence...
Bury it......
Set the boat on fire with no possible chance of return.
Kill it or be killed.

Ive read 1000+ intros...
Let's be clear.... Your scared!
Start chasing it.... Dont let it chase you.
You can do this.
Fight early ALL DAY LONG.
It will be your greatest victory!
Thanks for your service.
Lets quit romancing and go to work.
We dont talk about a couple of days.
We just focus on today.
Tomorrows not worth the worry.
Today is where you will find your battle won.
Winning today.. Makes for a soft pillow.
I quit with you today.
Post roll.....ODAAT

Rawls is a smart dude.

My intro was similar. Talked about missing my good friend the Kodiak bear.

Dude, you are a bad ass father and soldier. You are reminiscing about a chopped up plant in a can. Let that sink in and piss you off...

Just quit for today. Posting roll was the best move you could make. The struggle, the anger, the anxiety, the worry, the sore mouth... Potholes on a journey to freedom. I know you are reading this saying... Whatever dude...but I promise you that you are going to love the freedom as a result of having this shit out of your life.

One day at a time.

Keep it going! Congrats on the best decision! The suck doesn't suck as bad when you have support, water, things to occupy you mind and hands. So, get to pumping the water in you, add a bit of fruuit juice, add some more water.



Just for today, Self.

Reminiscing about a chopped up plant, that is a really great way to look at it when the cravings start.

Congrats on your decision, just don't stop. Trust me, we were all in the same boat. Tobacco (cigs and dip) were both there for me during my active duty tour and I've had so much trouble letting them go but it's for the best. You do NOT want mouth cancer, you don't want to be taken from your kids any earlier than normal because of your tobacco habit.

Do me a favor and rewrite your introduction This time wherever you have the word "worry" replace it with happy and give me a reason why you're happy you are quitting. It's as simple as that.

I want to thanks everyone, I will work on rewriting my worries into more of a positive feeling.
I am working on the whole positive outlook thing. But I can tell you this, this is the place to be when you
are sucking and your mouth is on fire. Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

We are looking for you... In July 2016

Come on in and post roll every day. It is that promise that will help keep you accountable and free of the hated NIC.

Writing a little, here or there in intros is not enough. Come meet your brothers in quit!

We have all been through this. We call it the SUCK, for a good reason, it sucks.

Just get through today, man. You can do that. Anyone can quit for a day.

Tomorrow, we'll do it again.

So no shit there I was, face down in a pile of mud. Today sucked. My mouth needs to figure itself out and start toeing the fucking line. But other then that one more day.....
Tomorrow I will do it over, and hopefully will be better then today. Thank you all. I hate all of you equally and envision you all as different color cans. That talk back, fucking assholes. See you tomorrow

When are you going to start posting roll?

When are you going to join your brother's in arms?

When are you going to stop hiding in introductions, put on some big boy britches and tell July 2016 and the rest of the world that you quit with them today?

You're going to have more than one day with your face in the mud if you don't start holding yourself accountable and allowing others to keep you from falling.

July 2016 (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11568995/85/) is where it's at right now...

That dear friend of yours has only one thing on its mind.

It wants to rob you of your money
It wants to rob you of your time
It wants to rob you of your health
It wants to rob you of your life

I don't know about you but I sure as hell don't want a friend like that in my life. That's why I liked his ass to the curb 776 days ago.
