Ok, im putting this here instead of blowing up the november boards with my rants lol. I have a different outlook on things than most... To me, the only acceptable excuse is act of god related. Everything else can be managed. So i look at people who caved, and most just give an "excuse" answer for their big 3... Horseshit.

They dont take the time to sit and actually think about their answer, which is the whole point of the big 3. I'm only 22 days quit, but even I understand that the big 3 are for MY benefit. This weaksauce horseshit that some post is just that: weaksauce and horseshit. They think theyre making us happy by posting BS answers... They dont realize we see thru that shit... They use "excuses" to why they caved instead of finding the reason, and it pisses me off to no end.

Now, like i said before here, i was quit for about 2 years before i caved. It wasnt even a voluntary quit. I had the flu... Not the 24 hr stuff, but the knock your dick in the dirt kind. I was down about 4 days? Lol i needed help going to the bathroom. When i was recovered, the last thing on my mind was tobacco, and i stayed that way for 2 years.

I was at a new job, my swing shift relief guy came in and popped open a can of Kodiak and the smell hit me, and that was all she wrote... Just like that i fell off the wagon AND got ran over by it. Been tobacco from then till 22 days ago. Everyone needs to be constantly vigilant! I shit on 2 years of quit just like that. I was fucking weak willed and gave in to my base urge to chew wormdirt... I didnt care that i was 2 years quit, i didnt care that i was a single father, all i cared about was that tin of wormshit.

And it would stay that way... Then, like i said earlier, i got that little voice that told me i better quit NOW... I listen to that voice; it was the same one that told me to stop drinking and i havent touched a drop in 12 years.

Now to the present: i am reaffirming my quit to my brothers.

Last week was brutal for me. I had every excuse to cave: my son, who i have raised by myself since he was 2, has shipped off to basic training. The little boy i knew is gone forever. When i see him again, he will have changed. The same boy who was my golf partner, my game partner, my son, will be different. After 16 years, i grew attached and now hes gone... He will be different. He's also infantry, so i know theres a STRONG chance he will see combat... And that will definitely change him... It did me, even though i never noticed... Everyone else did.

Knowing and realizing all of this has hurt me to my core, but i Will. Not. Cave.

I run security for 2 state buildings and im surrounded by idiots because my company gives me no authority... I cant hire or fire anyone, im literally a middleman that has no balls... Stress is the watchword of the day when dealing with these momos, but i Will. Not. Cave.

My family (new family lol ive been re-married 2 years in Oct) lives below the poverty level and we literally live from paycheck to paycheck. We're job hunting for better paying jobs, but right now we suck it up and drive on. I Will. Not. Cave.

I quit each and every day with each and every one of you.

The Chicken Devil gets it.

I'm glad you posted this here, and not in the November thread. This is not something that should get lost in the wash.

The sooner cavers realize that the 3 answers aren't for us, but for them, the sooner they can get back to the business of quitting good and proper.

Just like the rest of us, you've had your share of stresses. Yet, nicotine is not an option for you today. You made that very clear.

Your son is doing a great service to his country and when he returns he will be a man. He is being trained by the most powerful and sophisticated military in modern history. For his sake and for yours, I hope he never has to put that training to use. No matter what, he's lucky to have a dip-free Dad in his corner.

Keep on rolling with the QLF, ElPollo. You're killing it!

Pollo... I can definitely relate to many of the items in your rant, and I'm quit with you! Spent years in the military (Marines for me), on my second marriage, raised 3 kids myself, and my eldest just left for college.

Check your PMs for more digits, November brother!

And i will. First tobacco free weekend in years coming up, and i cant wait to kick its ass. Next weekend will be interesting, but i will kick its ass when i get there. One bridge at a time.

Im only on day 3, but i feel... Nothing. I had the sweats the first nite, and i have worse than normal gas lol, but i just feel meh. Caught myself looking for a can last night in my bag and stuffed some trident cinnamon gum in my lip lol.

Staying strong fellas, one day at a time.

Good job brother! Lean on me if you need some help. Glad you are here.

Hopefully i remember to post roll in the morning...

Huh???

Morning is not my time lol. I start work at 8, so i set my alarm for 720 and just jump up shower and all that and rush out the door.

Im so used to that routine, that i was afraid id miss role this morning. I set a not so friendly reminder to myself on my phone lol. It worked, and i made roll before my feet even hit the floor.

Pollo,
I think one thing new guys don't realize is that in quitting there is no grey areas. You are either quit...or you are not. And on this site, posting roll is the most important thing...no exceptions. So when you write "hopefully I'll remember to post roll in the morning" It sounds weak, and defeatist. My guess is it's not what you meant, and you obviously posted today. But, I know I am quit today, and I know I will post tomorrow morning. There is no hope involved. Good luck on your quit.

I had a nice long retort to post, but figured its not worth the time or energy to get pissed and explain myself again.

Tl;dr i dont care what you think i sound like.

@air force: thanks man. Im dead set on beating this shit. Ill see you all at roll tomorrow.

In the end all that matters is you post roll every day, first thing in the morning...

You and every other quitter on this site has to rearrange their morning routine... Wake, Post Roll, Shit, Shower, Shave... Every damn Day.

Thats how we win.

I agree 100%, and have made the change. My alarm now screams at me to post roll before even getting out of bed.

Nice. I like the attitude and the fire....keep bringing it.
