Day 1 of the long Road

[Athan]

Well, day 68. Been a weird one lately on the site, and it’s definitely made me question some things. HOWEVER, I jus repost and ghost. I hate all the BS that happens on the groups about why someone posted late, or why they did this, or yada yada yada. I hate seeing people pushed out of the site because they don’t meet someone else’s standard. I get it, WUPP is a thing for a reason, BUT, just because they post late, doesn’t mean they automatically stuck shit back in their mouth and are fucking with the group. I don’t understand why we harass and push these people to the point they quit the site. I mean, that’s why I’m mainly on the site to show support to my group and post my daily promise, my 100% posting for 2020, and those groups I have people I’m supporting. I’m just going to continue my PAG and strive on.

Take what you need, leave the rest. You came here to be free and by golly you're on the path. Stay the course my brother. You add to my quit and edify me.

Today’s a pretty special day, and not because of me quitting dip. Today marks 66 days since I quit dipping, BUT it also marks 100 days since I’ve been sober. I decided after Thanksgiving I was going to stop drinking. I’ve put enough alcohol in my system these last 2 years, that I just have no desire to drink anymore. So yeah, I’m proud of myself. 10 weeks coming up soon, pretty proud of myself there too. Wife’s finally starting to jump onboard with my quit now that she truly sees I’m serious about quitting this time.

Day 62

Well, today is the very end of day 62 and almost the beginning of day 63. 9 weeks. 9 weeks ago I poured out 4 cans of grizzly and swore to never again put that shit in my mouth. I can say that through these 9 weeks, I have experienced just about everything that could possibly stress somebody out enough to want to cave, but I haven't so far. I've survived death in the family, the stress of my wife being pregnant again(which is going absolutely amazing this time around, for us...for her, not so much. morning sickness is a bitch LMAO), and almost losing my life. That near-death experience was the event that almost made me cave, I was freaking out that night. If it weren't for @ThtPanda25 I promise you guys, I would've caved. I know it sounds like a bitch thing to do, but fuck man, that wasn't something I could prepare my quit for. ANYWAY, enough with the depressing boring bullshit...onto why day 63 is the most special day of my quit. Tomorrow will be more special than any floor or HoF, and here's why...I turn 26. I can officially say I'm 26, I quit nicotine, and I quit drinking. There are not many people around me that I work with that can say that, but I'm proud of myself for it. Although the closer I creep to 30, the more grey hairs I'm finding in my beard and my hair...unfortunately. Well, I guess I've rambled enough for today, thanks for tuning into this week's Ted Talk.

@A-Aron sounds like you have experienced a bunch of wins through 62 days. Life is going to keep happening. Remember to use your tools and reach out to your brothers and sisters here in times of need. The brotherhood is a major factor in keeping us all quit.

Well, I’m officially over halfway to HoF. I’ve been pretty busy this last week and a half, so I’ve barely any time to post and chat like usual. Today though, was a huge milestone in my quit, although I still don’t know how to feel about it. One of the hardest things for me in the Army was doing our field problems for X amount of days. It’s stressful, it’s tiring, it’s gruesome and makes you wanna reach out and grab somebody by their neck. I always relied on that green little tin can in my pocket for relief. Today, I of course naturally felt myself urging for a dip, solely based off muscle memory. My coworkers dip, a couple of them pretty heavily, but they never push it on me to pick it back up or anything. Today I felt no urge to ask for one, instead i threw my seeds in, used my Smokey Mountain, and trucked through my day. It felt like a win for me because the first day of the field setup is the most stressful day for me. Although, I wasn’t too happy about going through a can of the fake stuff, I’d rather it be fake stuff than the shit. It also helps when I won’t cave partially because I don’t even know how I would text my vets telling them I fucked up. So, @Hunter4life @Skolvikings @Athan @olcpo @Keith0617 @chris2alaska and @Bug Guy thanks for investing in a new quitter like myself, y’all give me strength to stay quit, even when I’m not actively asking for advice/calling to avoid a bad decision.

You are doing it! The field is what we were afraid of and you beat it. The field is relentless. The waiting piled with urgency. Waiting for some O to make a decision, troops looking at you for answers you can't give, hours dragging by yet not enough time, waiting for others to do their job so you can do yours, when's Chow? MRE's and iodine water. Wanna get busy? Just pour water in the MRE heater and some shavetail will show up with "work" just cuz you're sittin around... With all that a chew never changed, fixed, hurried up or slowed down anything. Now you are on the other side and YOU beat the NIC Demon. PTQWY Brother! Keep Stompin'!

You’ve got this man. I was the same way. Just knowing that the support group is there and not wanting to let them down was enough for me.  Stay quit brotha!

You're a bad motha sucka my dude! I've got your back just as much as you have mine. Proud to be quit with you my brother.

Motha sucka…. WTF..... sorry this heathen is in your intro Aaron. 


Keep doing what you are doing.... lots of us are damn proud of you.

WOW! That's quite the lineup on the support group. I figure nine, maybe ten guys in the whole world got lineup like that!

41 Down, 42 tomorrow.

6 weeks

6 weeks ago I dumped a log of grizzly wintergreen and never looked back. 6 weeks ago I made the best decision I could have made, but it brought on the bumpiest ride of my life. My last post was 5 weeks down, and honestly, so much has happened in this last week, it's made up for the last few weeks of not really feeling down about my quit. I can't say I've had any real bad days of my quit until this past week, between work, school, and just everything going on, the Nic bitch caught me slipping a bit. I did not cave though, I was able to reach out and phone a fellow quitter, and distract myself. That moment was the toughest craving I have had so far these last 41 days and it came outta nowhere. I actually am sitting here on the bed doing schoolwork and typing this out, all while having a pinch of Smokey Mountain in my lip to help calm the cravings from the long day I've had today. I can't imagine what life will be like when I'm hitting HoF status, but I do know that I'll be looking back at these posts and laughing at how weak I have been some days. The one thing that keeps me going is that I have roughly 15-20 KTC brothers in quit in my phone, and I know that before I can even think about caving, I have to call each and every single one of them. That's a LOT of vets who would go to hell and back to make sure I stay on my quit journey. I have to thank @olcpo for his thread, because reading his, makes some days I have feel like nothing. Also, I have to shoutout @Hunter4life because His daily promise to me means a lot, and I've made sure I send mine back. Proud to have you two in my quit circle. I think that's all I really have for the update this week, here's to 6 weeks down, and almost half HoF.

Aaron

Sorry you are having a rough time/bump, BUT you've got this! It's obvious! You are handling it! Know that it is a "Moment" and it will pass. Prepare for it to get better! Proud To Quit With You Brother!! Keep On Keepin' on! One Day At A time!

@A-Aron brother you aren't weak. You badass has been quit for 6 weeks. Keep quitting ODAAT and let the days add up. The light gets brighter on the other side of HOF. Shoot me your digits if I can help with accountability or support. I believe in you.

NOOOOOOOO @A-Aron , don't do it!! Don't give @Keith0617 your digits!!  He will call you and text you at all hours of the day, hounding you to be quit.  Oh the agony of it all.

Just kidding, Keith is one of the best guys I know.  If you have him in your corner, you are golden.  By all means share your digits with him.
