Hello everybody! Hope the awesome quitters of May are doing well.

Sometime around April/May next year, my unit will be getting deployed on the 15th MEU enroute for Australia, Hawaii, Thailand and a few other countries. We have been extremely busy training and tonight I leave for a three week field operation in Fort Irwin, CA. I may not have a charged phone and when I do I may not have service to send out accountability texts. I will notify some of the awesome quitters whom I normally check up with to let them know what's going on before I depart this evening.

The training schedule and return date may change. If I can't be around for some of us hitting day 200, I apologize ahead of time. Thanks and quit on
I know you know this, but don't post deployment dates/destinations on here. We can figure out how to do your posting, Led.
Quit since 1/23/14

Congrats on 100; is wasn't easy, but it was worth it! The next 100 can be harder, but hang tough Marine and dig deep.

Gratz on the hundo! I quit with you today!
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Happy Birthday, you Quitter! 'oh yeah'
x 2...here's to many more nic-free b'days!
Man, it's been a while since I visited my intro. Thanks for the birthday wishes! (Even if I am 2 months late on that!)

I am a firm believer in this sites methods for quiting, ESPECIALLY the ODAAT approach. I have to admit though, I'm getting more and more nervous for that day 100 and what happens after. Maybe excited would be a more fitting word.

Hey everybody! Sorry for being out of the loop lately - like I said before I am in the Marine Corps and I just got back from a week long training operation in the field today. Wifi was scarce and phone usage/charging is extremely limited and rare. Before I quit KTC style, I'd bring 2 or 3 logs of dip with me to the field preparing for long days in the sun with nothing to do. Needless to say this past week I made nic my bitch and am proud of it. This does not mean I'm letting my guard down though.

Every day whenever I got the chance this week, I would send a text to slug.go (thanks again man) posting roll and promising to stay nic/tobacco free for that day. Tomorrow marks my 13th day no longer a slave!

I apologize for the confusion and will try to keep you guys better informed beforehand. Rdad, thanks for the shout-out on roll today. It means a lot seeing other bad ass quiters looking out for us new guys when things don't look so good.

I'll be posting roll myself normally from here on out.
Keep up the quit brothers and sisters! 'oh yeah'
Welcome back LB -- sounds like a helluva week! Great to have you back online, literally  figuratively, and wanted to commend you for your successful quit all week in the field. Considering all the circumstances, you absolutely owned the bitch this week -- keep it up, brotha! Proud to quit with you in Project Mayhem, every day, all day.

Thanks for all the responses and support guys! I'm still learning how to respond to individual people on the forum so bare with me.
All that matters right now is that you post in the a.m. and stay true to your word. 
It'll take time to figure out this website.  Just no nic!  I quit with you!
So today was my 4th day quit. I have been reading that after 72 hours nicotine has left your body and you start to see how great it is that you are done with it. What concerns me is that I still haven't felt a strong "positive" side or relief to quitting. Is this normal?

I see in your profile that you like to read. Get online and download for free....
Freedom from nicotine,the journey home by John R. Polito. In it you will find the answers for why you are feeling the way you do. I have read it 3 times in 70 days. This book, reading everything I could find on nicotine addiction, Allen Carr's book on the easy way to stop smoking (smoking and chewing are both still just nicotine addiction), and the quitters on this site have bullet proofed my quit after 26 years of stuffing that shit in my pie hole! It's up to you. Put in the effort and you can be free from this slavery.
Thanks rdad. I've got enough free time tonight so I can check out that book very soon. Appreciate it.
