My main reason is i am getting Enlisted in the Marines DEP (Delayed Entry Program)
Mike,
First off, congratulations on making the best choice of your life. Second, thank you for stepping up to the line to serve our country. It's young men like you who give me hope that our country isn't really headed down the toilet.
Now, since you want to be a Marine, be prepared to be treated like one here. This is a no-bullshit zone...people say it like it is. I'm questioning your motivation to quit...straight up. You say that you want to quit to lower your blood pressure...bullshit. You need to quit in order to save your life. Dipping is nothing but suicide on the installment plan. You're an addict, just like every single one of us here...you're no different. Own that. If you can make the decision today that you will not be a slave to nicotine, I will stand right next to you on the line...and so will everyone else here.
You're in a great position to quit right now. Clearly if you're going into DEP, you're fairly young and healthy. You can make the decision right now that I didn't make 27 years ago. Yes, I went into DEP as a dipper...never thought about quitting. It took me all that time to realize that I was slowly killing myself. You have a chance right now to just tell the nic-bitch to fuck right off and walk away from her. Being a Marine is stressful...lots of old Marines here who will back that up. Don't let that stress drive you deeper into the can. Make your promise, quit for today, keep your word, come back tomorrow and repeat. It's that simple, but it's not easy.
Shoot me a PM if there's anything I can help you with. We will support you every step of the way, but the choice is yours. Choose wisely... 'archer'
