What's up everyone,
This is my second time quitting and hopefully the last time that I will have to quit. I'm new to the website, but it was recommended brought to my attention by my best friend @A-Aron . Honestly, I would have to say that my reason for quitting would be Aaron himself. Aaron is my brother and it's a big help having being able to join him on his journey.
I have been in the Army coming on my third year and I began chewing and smoking because I had nothing better to do than hang out and chat with my co-workers in the smoke pit at work starting roughly 5 years ago. I can't say that this will be an easy road but I am ready to endure the struggle and I know that it could be much more difficult. I welcome all who wish to discuss their stories or just want to shoot shit with one another. To everyone else here, my name is Marcus Clontz, and today I became a quitter. I hope to get to know you all a lot better over the course of these next 100 days and further beyond that.
Marcus
Leave "hope" out of this. You show up each day after you wake up and promise to yourself and everyone in your group, that you will remain quit for 24 hrs. As long as you are a man of your word, you will honor that commitment until the next morning when you wake up and do it all over again. So don't worry about 100 days from now, that is a huge commitment that even the strongest individual is doomed to fail. As noble as it is to quit for your friend, you need to do this first and foremost for YOU. When shit hits the fan and you start having second thoughts, you will have resentment towards your friend and blame your quit attempt on him. It is YOUR quit and yours only. You do this for YOU because you deserve it. Strap in, EMBRACE THAT SUCK
and gather up as many digits as you can stand to handle for the accountability. Around here, accountability works both ways, so don't forget to help out your brothers in April as they should be helping you. Proud to quit with you today Marcus!
