It almost happened today.

I almost caved to the temptation to put that worm dirt in my lip.

It would have happened if it weren't for you guys and the idea that I would let my HOF team and everyone on this site down.

But it didnt happen, so thats a step in the right direction, i do however have a busted knuckle from my file cabinet. Its better than mouth cancer but is slightly uncomfortable.
Proud of you for staying quit
PISSED AT YOU FOR GOING IT ALONE!
Just sent you my digits

BTW - in addition to cancer, nicotine (from whatever delivery system) is also linked to diabetes. Not enough press on diabetes - it's a HORRIBLE disease to have.

Like a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

Don't be a fool my brother, choose life, choose to quit!
The Nicotine Bitch:

She is very cunning and very powerful and she is a murderer. She has many ways of entering our lives. Those that are smart never let her in to begin with. Those that have had the misfortune of letting her in either succumb to her advances whole heartedly and spend the rest of their lives in her servitude or they finally come out of the darkness and into the light and see her for what she really is.

The latter is what all of us are. We have seen the light of freedom from her grasp. Everyday we promise not to give into her constant barrage of advances to try to get us back. She is, as I said, very cunning. She will bide her time, waiting for just the right moment to pounce.

She has ALL the time in world. WE DON'T!!

That is why we have to remain vigilante in our quit to keep her at bay so we can enjoy what little remaining time we do have left on this earth.

One day, I will enjoy meeting some of you, my brothers and sisters, joined in our common fight against that murderous, conniving whore. Until then, I salute, admire, and respect you all for keeping up the good fight.

I Quit with You All Today
If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

Athan, isnt your f250 like fords version of a tundra?

geared low, stiffer suspension, no added hp. Just an f150 purpose built to tow?

Atleast thats the ones I have seen, there arent too many down here.

Chris,

How do you like that 6.7?
I love it. It tows my toy hauler like it's not even there (14,000 lbs loaded)

Mines the crew cab with the suicide doors. 4x4 with a fifth wheel towing package. The only thing I don't like about it is the gas mileage - about 12-13mpg.
oh yeah im sure, 4:10 gears in that thing with the 5.4 motor will kill your mileage.

mine does pretty well for its size, 4x4, towing package, 6.4 diesel, with a few adjustments and I average about 19-21

Ignorance and stupidity are very different things but commonly confused and used interchangeably in todays lexicon.
One who is ignorant is merely lacking knowledge. You were ignorant of KTC; you now have knowledge of it and its availability to help you quit.
Stupid is where a person acquires knowledge but is not capable of applying it.
Well, You're here. You're at least reading this thread. We can reasonable assume you are aware of the hazards of continued nicotine use.
What shall we say then of your present circumstance?
Why don't you message me and we'll talk about it.

Why can't the rest of the country be like this forum, This forum feels like an old group of friends.
dude, I just happen to have a white F250 (1999, you know, with the F150 body style)

So today is your first day? I congratulate you on a wise decision. Embrace the suck but do it with your team.

Join your group and start posting roll TODAY. I'll be checking on you. PM me or Chewie if you need help

Wow, really glad you're here. Love to see a man choose life; makes my day.
Mines an 08, thanks I'm happy to Be able to say that I quit. Thanks for the support, I posted roll as soon as I got here, really helped to cement the idea that I'm done.
Welcome F250,

Proud to be quit with you today. You have made a life changing decision that you will make everyday for the rest of your life. We quit daily here because how much easier is it to say, "I will not use nicotine today" than it is to say, "I will Never use nicotine again"?

I have a 2015 F350 Diesel but don't tell Athan or he will get jealous.

PM me if you want my digits, I would be happy to help with your accountability.

Chris
