My Quit

[30yraddict]

I'm putting this out there now so I can't use it as a cop out later. Don't get me wrong, this transition from a hard charging, fast boat driving BMC, to a med retired, half-broke dick, beard starting, long hair maybe growing, soon to be college student is hard, but I think it's a blessing for my quit.
I'm not around many things that were automatic lip loaders, well besides waking up, drinking coffee and breathing, but at least not all the other things. I'm not around my whole damn crew of nic addicts to rub it in my face constantly threatening my quit without even having to go to a damn store.
So I'm putting it out there. Maybe my back is hurting, my hip is locked up, my foot is on fire, my PTSD demons are extra wicked, I hate my professors, I hate my fellow students, this fucking transition sucks ass so fuck the quit, I need that shit, whatever other bullshit I'm thinking, it's easier doing it now with momentum of my Quit and all the other shit is just an out.
Don't be a pussy Tom and Quit for just 1 more day.

Just one more fuggin day! Do it! 1 more fuggin day is all it takes, friend. Trust me- this gets better- real soon. You got this, friend... like a boss.

It might be a cliche Tom, but one day at a time (ODAAT), really does work. If you can endure today, you can endure tomorrow. It slowly gets better and I PROMISE if you stay quit ODAAT you will not regret going through this hell you are living in right now. Thanks for your service! I was so weak but even I managed to get thru it. You can too!

Welcome tsj, thank you for your service and I quit with you today!

Thanks for the welcome and encouragement. Sometimes we get what we need when we need it. That goes against the planner in me, but something just felt right about chucking the can. I was feeling pretty down and craving, but last night I decided to wait until morning before running to the store and found this site.
I can withstand anything for a day.

That is so spot on Tom. When you go one day at a time it really isn't so overwhelming. Quitting has been one of the hardest things I've done, but it hasn't been as hard as I've thought, because each day I've made a promise and took my addiction seriously. Good luck quiting with a quit life as a civvy!

Happy for you my friend. Get with your October brethren and post roll every freakin day. Don't miss. Don't miss for anything. Read what the roll says. Understand that you are promising all of these guys that you promise to quit for that day, and they you. I'm happy to call you a quitter with me my friend. Best of luck!

TSJ,

First thanks for your service! Second, congrats on the best decision you will have made in a while. The KTC plan is quite simple and your take it a day at a time approach will serve you well.

1. Post Roll each morning....Promise yourself, us  your family that you will not use nicotine for 24 hours. Be a man of your word and uphold your promise and repeat every 24 hours. Here is a tip for you about positing roll. Post as soon as you can because if you don't take roll serious your quit will be in jeopardy. I don't even have a year here at KTC and can tell you that when I see guys half assed on roll they end up as cagers 90% of the time. Take it serious and it will pay dividends.

2. Remember you (we) are addicts and as such we cannot ever use nicotine in any form. PERIOD

3. Get digits from people here at KTC especially in your group to help keep you accountable. Have a plan for the monster craves you will have. A plan might be something as simple as slamming your nuts in a drawer 3 times and then calling each person you have in your phone from KTC to ask for permission to go buy a can and take a dip.

4. Welcome aboard and if you need digits shoot me a PM........

Quit with you today!

Hello all
My quit stared the 4th, which was also my retirement party from the USCG. I didn't really plan to quit, hell I had givin up on quiting for at least the last 10 years. I just accepted that Cope and I would be together forever. I was sitting there packing my first dip of the day with my coffee and just thought about how I had started dipping in Army OSUT. Now I'm retired from the military and starting over in life and I just kind of said f'it. I figured if I could make it through that day that I'd be too hung over on the 5th to care about a dip. I might have overdone it because it didn't really start to suck until the hangover headache went away last night. I figure I can do anything for a day. I've lived a large portion of my adult life 1 day at a time because to look beyond that was too overwhelming. I don't know why I never looked at the quit like that.
I figured I'd either go get a can and waste the past 3 days or I'd actually register and post on roll call and an intro. Pretty glad I posted instead of getting in the truck and heading to the store.

Good choice. Fuck the store and their racks of death weed.

Make sure you read the welcome center. And if you really want to succeed you will fully commit to the program here.

Congrats. I quit with you today.

Welcome brother. I'm brand new here as well. It's really hard in the beginning. I mean real hard. I'm at day 8, it's getting better. I believe your In my quit group come take roll call. I'll see you soon.
