Life in Afghanistan

[Souliman]

The suspense has me on the edge of my seat.

Are you going to post a day 1? Its simple. Fat free. Comes in recycled containers. And if you act now, you'll get the chance to post roll again in 24 hours.

*studio audience gives the Arsenio 'whoot'*

That's right Scope. Don Pardo tell him what he's won...

You have won the opportunity to save your life!

*studio audience goes wild...close up of blonde in Pocahontas costume*

Okay Scope. Here are your choices. Door number 1 - continue putting poison into your body while adding to UST's bottom line, Door number 2 - taking a giant step to avoiding cancer and taking back control of your life or Door number 3 - Loot's special barnyard adventure where all little animals can find some love.

So Scope what will it be?

Good morning everyone,

I am pretty new to the site, when I say new I mean I just checked this out literally 10 minutes ago. I am a Marine in Afghanistan and out of all the times stuff hit the fans for me and my unit out here dipping is right up there with accurate small arms fire...it's just as deadly.

One of the main things that drives me to throwing in a dip is just pure boredom. The feeling of the adrenalin rush from combat and the ride back to base knowing that I almost feel safe knowing I have a can of dip waiting for me. It's so hard to not throw one in once back on base because the mission is over and now it's downtime. 5 out of 7 of us dip out here which makes it just that much worse.

I am more terrified of the effects from dipping than I am the enemy. I have been dipping for 3 years now and it's time for me to quit.

The worst feeling was quitting for 5 months and then sitting in the smoke pit when my buddy threw in a dip then of course I gave in. Going back to day one. I tell myself the dangers every time I go to throw in a dip but, the craving over powers whatever I was telling myself.

I lie to myself just to throw one in, I'm terrified of every little thing I see or feel in my mouth, if living in a combat zone was stressful add dip to that scenario and it becomes unbearable at times.

After patrolling in 120+ degree tempature, nothing is better then going back to the shade and throwing in a dip. It's not who I am it's not what I want, and it's not me. I just threw away the last 4 cans of grizzle mint.

I am just sick of being terrified of my mirror, thats something I just can't bear to deal with especially this time in my life.....How can something so small and weak control my whole existence????

Wish me luck!

I'm here if anyone wants to talk I'm always glad to share and give support. Take care everyone!

Hey Devil Dog. I served in Iraq in 2003 witht the Army and that is the first time I actually quit dipping. I lasted 4 years after that but caved because I forgot why I quit and said fuck it. Keep your head up and drive on. The support you will get from this site is great. Ignore the dysfunction of our little group and get something positive. Glad to quit with you brother. Thank you for your service. Dip is nothing to you, Marine. Buck up and take the advice of Soul.

Jmiah out

Like Rebel said. No try. You either do or do not. If you've got spine, you do. Let's get you quit and home safe brother.

Bored? Read every god damn thing on this site. That should kill some time. My suggestion is do it twice. Get some knowledge going about what you're facing here. What to expect.

If you got users around you giving you shit, tell them you had your last dip. You're done. You quit. Ask them what they think is going to kill them today: some turd in the sand or poison in a can?

Post roll every day. I'm guessing you're a man of your word. We post roll everyday. No excuses. You want on this playground, you play by the rules. You make the pledge everyday early that you will not use that day. No bullshit on this one. Don't mess with the system.

Get your ass involved. If you're bored, you got time. Get to know the folks here. Some good brothers and sisters kicking the nic bitch around. They'll be there when you need a hand from someone. If you need help there are plenty of folks here to answer the phone but you gotta put some effort into your quit. Got it?

Your group is October. From a certain perspective they're a fucking mess. From another perspective, they are becoming hard ass quitters beating a horrible addiction. I choose to support them everyday as I will support you everyday.

You are quit. Its simple but it ain't easy. Save your life by not putting poison in your body another day. You put your life on the line daily. Don't waste it putting dollars in a UST exec's pocket.

PS. And I won't wish you luck. Fuck luck. You've got balls. Quitting balls. Use them.

SCOPE: Follow ole Souls directions and you wont get lost! Words of truth that will not lead you astray and cave!! Follow them! Proud to be quit with you brother. nicofiend

Hey Leatherneck, there's no 'try' or 'luck' here brother. We DO here. Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. Whatever it takes. Go here and read, specifically items #2 through #4. Then you post roll. Scope, you'll find we have a large contengency of Devil Dogs here that will pay special attention to you and your quit. I expect to see you on the October 2011 roll call in the morning.
Semper Fi.
