Gearing up for Day 1

[jayd41]

Like i said earlier, i have had my share of words with diesel and a few others on here, but i seriously have not read such disrespectful, smug little bastard, short man syndrome bullshit as i have read from you. I will let the vets take care of you from here on out. You come talk to me about being a pussy after 30 days, 100 days, so on. You don't think this is a fight to the death then your knowledge of addiction is very misguided.

I'm done...

[bis-cut]

Wow. This was fun to wake up to :) Lookie what I started.
I slept great by the way... You?

Anyway... Just so you don't think you "showed me"... I'll respond with this and be done - you've read what my brothers and sisters have to say. Do you get it yet?

Lol. Yes sir! Slept like a baby! Slept so good I can't even remember what my dreams were about.

As for the rest of you who's panties I've obviously got in a wad, I'm glad I did my job. Apparently the people here are a little repressed and need someone to beat up on that's not afraid to take punches.

So at what point do I become a bad A$$ quitter as you guys keep referring to? Obviously not at Day 100, seeing as how alot of folks cave well beyond that?

In fact, according to what so many of you keep saying, everyday is a new day fighting the same war, so everyone who doesn't pick up the can today is a bad a$$. But hey, I guess I won't stir up any more controversy. I'd hate to give someone on here a coronary.

Out of respect to my fellow Marines, I'll stand down and let this little pony dance go on without further stirring the pot. At least I got some people passionate about more than just waking up to copy and paste the same ol' pats on backs and "I quit with you today" rhetoric.

To all of you fuckers, including the pussies, I quit with you today.

Its going to be a damn good day. This crap is like an adrenaline rush. Thanks to all of you who kept my morning from being boring.

This kill the can stuff is better than crack.

By the way it is dang nice to meet you Borgia..

there is not milestone that you will be a bad A$$ quitter, it is when you have earned it. The way you earn it is a real simple formula. Quit one day at a time and help the quitters around you

I had to stop reading this thread because it is FUCKING RETARDED! Im not even gonna touch the fact that you were a Marine because that pisses me off more with your bitch attitude! Im relatively new here and I cant fucking believe the things you think are ok to say to people here who are trying to help you! Did they ask you for money? No! Who the fuck do you think you are? If you think you dont need this place get out! I have to stop typing cause I'm so pissed my hands are shaking!

Thank you for pissing me off today. It makes me hate chew more.
P.s. Your attitude of being better then everyone else here makes you sound like a bitch!

I was gonna edit this text and tone it down and make it nicer.... But fuck it! I dont like this shit! Show respect! Marines usually have it!

I was a smoker and STOPPING was not at all difficult for me. As a matter of fact, STOPPING was so easy that I thought I could do it again and again. I always called it quitting but then something would happen, I'd have a drink, stress would pile up, and I would figure I could pick it up again and just "quit" later. After all, I was no addict! Once, I stopped for five years.

You might say I'm weak. I wasn't someone of my word... Even to myself. But here's where we are alike... I don't feel weak at all. I feel like I'm breezing through this. I've had some emotional roller coasters over the past couple weeks but I could easily attribute them to something besides nic withdrawals. Not caving is pretty easy for me. I don't need to be talked down ledges. But here's the thing... Without the accountability here, I would have picked it up again this week. I couldn't quite think of one good reason not to smoke when I was going through some really tough shit and I could EASILY "quit later". Except this time I didn't just rely on myself.

I lived TWENTY FOUR YEARS serial stopping.

It wasn't until I came here that I figured out my problem. I'm an addict. Well fuck me! I'm a good mom who goes to church and feeds her kids healthy food and looks good. I can't be an addict! I know how to keep my word and I volunteer and help my friends and I'm a badass who served her country.

Also. I'm an addict.

I know this because one cig is all it would take. One cig. How many times did I tell someone, "Oh, I can totally bum a smoke because I don't do that anymore. I'm so over it! Won't even taste good." Within a week I would be at a pack a day again.

You know what... I WISH I went through the SUCK. The suck is a GIFT, not something to deride. The suck shows these guys what they NEVER EVER want to experience again. Me? I could just "quit later". You should be AFRAID that its so easy. Your word is strong now. Let's see in five years. Let's see if one of your kids gets cancer (been there). Let's see if you lose your job (been there). Let's see if you go though divorce (been there). Let's see if you get drunk and it's there and you just think, "I've got this. I'm no addict. I can enjoy this one."

Been. Fucking. There.

Because I'm an addict. And so, my friend, are you.

I totally love this chick! Brilliant post young lady.
:wub:

Hey Marine, Square yourself away. I know you are bad a$$, you know why? Because we both stood on the yellow footprints, that is why. You earned the title of MARINE, not many men can say that. So for that I say Semper Fi brother.

However, let's get something straight here, there are some bad a$$ quitters in here that have earned the right to be respected. They come in here and post roll every day and pay it forward by helping other quitters. Back it down a bit and quit, stop arguing and start doing.

4 days quit does not give you any right to come in here and blast these other quitters, these guys are my friends and have helped me along the way. They have earned the right to speak... I hope you earn the same right.

You are my brother forever, we are tied together because of our tradition. Please honor our heritage by getting it done- basically less talking and more doing.

I was wondering when someone was giong to key in on your post of being a Marine. You have no mannerisms of a team player...life was probably tough on you in the military bucking the system....like you are trying to here...like Kubrick said I doubt you mouthed off when you were in boot...you were prolly pissing on yourself wishing that big DI wouldnt call on you.

I have seen people like you come and go they are everywhere all wanting to be the new leader....bucking the system and what does one person prove if you happen to swing one....all you are doing is taking them away from a system that works if the methods are used. What are you going to do if your system fails them and you lead them back into being a slave to nicotine do you want that on your hands...

And you say you are not in the suck...let me tell you I have reread your rants you are delusional...not sure what the addictions you say you have mastered but it sounds to me like you are on a bender...

[Kubrick]

Former Marine eh? Did you tell your drill instructors how to do things when you got to boot camp?

When you got to MOS school, did you tell your instructors they were wrong and that your way was better?

When you got into the fleet, did you tell your platoon Sgt., squad leader or platoon commander that the way they did things was wrong and you were right even though you were a stupid dumbass 18 year old?

I'm going to guess the answer is no on all of those, unless of course you were a glutton for punishment. ("DeBorgia to the quarterdeck!" "DeBorgia to the quarterdeck aye sir!")

So take a page out of that playbook and respect the steps this site uses to quit and stay quit. They work and it's been proven they work.

You may think you have it all figured out, but even though you're 29, you still sound like a dumbass know it all 18 year old.

My guess is you puff up your chest and talk a lot of shit, but deep down you know we're right. But in case you're so delusional that you actually believe the shit you've written, then this site is not for you.

That was poetic....i hope that ends up in the words of wisdom category....just awesome.

And as for you LG...man i have supported people on here that have caved, supported a guy that actually lied, defended them against some pretty heavy hitters on this site. But i can't defend what you said. One of the reason's i defended some of those guys i mentioned earlier is to offer a different vantage point of support because i thought the one side was not being supportive rather bullies...HOWEVER...some of things you said were so far out of left field and out of bounds (and any other cliche` you can think of) that you just lost one supporter whose support usually doesn't waver for those making an honest attempt at quitting. Yeah i don't sometimes agree with Diesel's tactics and i have told him to fuck off once but to actually say 'fuck posting roll' well that's just crazy talk...

We normally don't use words like luck and hope on this site....but good luck with your quit...i hope you can find somewhere to be accountable to others in your quit. Take care now.

[jaginvest]

I am not a big fan of telling people they should leave the site, I have even slammed others in the past for suggesting that newbies leave. However, you are the exception. There is nothing for you here. Just leave, dickweed. In your mind, you have everything figured out anyway. You say so in your stupid, arrogant posts.

Feel free to go your own way and use your own method. You won't make it 30 days sweetheart. You think you are the Lone Ranger with your "method"? Plenty have tried it that way. Sure, there are some people that have used your "method" and have stayed quit. Reading your posts, I doubt that you will be one of those people.

You are a weak little person, trying to put up a big front. What does paying cash for a house have to do with anything related to this site? It doesn't, it is simply a little punk trying to say "I am better than you". Well, little man, I call bullshit. You aren't any better than anyone else. You just want others to think you are. The stupidity of your posts lead me to believe that you are simply full of shit, and probably live in your mother's basement, not in a house that you paid for with cash.

Either check that shit at the door, and get on board or leave the truly dedicated quitters here and move on. The basis of "our method", is posting roll and keeping your promise. Supporting other quitters is the way we pay it forward. Because we believe in the site, and the method.

Why would you want to be here if you disagree with everything we stand for? And just so you know, you will NOT win this fight. No one is suddenly going to say, "Damn, that fucker was right. We have been doing it wrong the whole time." And trust me, there will be a fuckload more people pushing you and your kind away than your "one quitter" that you think will validate your ignorant, unwinnable fight.

[wastepanel]

Why are you here man?

[traumagnet]

By the way, all you long time posters like Apple Jack and Diesel... FUCK YOU!!!

It don't take 1,000+ posts to kick a habit. It takes one decision and the will to follow through.

September sluts are setting a new example of manhood.

We quit because we quit.

We don't suck each others dicks and we don't whine about cravings.

Sure, if we struggle, we support each other, and if one man is weak, the rest will carry his load, but we won't still be posting 3 years from now. We will be living the example of freedom from addiction, not hanging around here and clinging to it, trying to convince new quitters that they are doomed to perpetual failure.

Fuck posting roll.

I will continue doing it as an example, not as an excuse.

If I never posted roll again after today, I would still never take another pinch of dip.

I'm here for the weak ones like you Diesel. After 4 days, I'm already more free than you will ever be. Why? Because unlike you, I choose to be free of addiction.

You, on the other hand, will always require new quitters to motivate your perpetual success. your word is not your bond. You have no ethical issues with promising yourself to quit and breaking your own promise.

Some of us, our word is our bond, and the support group is just an added bonus.

GO

Just leave. You do not belong here. This post proves it. You have it all figured out. You don't need us.

"You don't suck eachothers dicks and whine about craves"

"Fuck posting roll"

"If I never posted roll again after today, I would still never take another pinch of dip"

You say my word is not my bond and accuse me of being dishonest and breaking my promise, even though I have been quit 368 days to your 4.

I don't have 1,000 posts to perpetuate my success. I have 1,000 posts because I am paying forward the support that I received when I joined the sight and was really struggling. I see other guys struggling as well and I try to reach out to them to encourage them and help them along. That's how this site works.

Seriously, you don't need us. You have it all figured out. Why stay?

Wow....someone get the tissues for this, as even special butterfly does not quialify this thread for posting.

This better be the rage at its best as there is so much illogical in what is being said here:

AJ and Diesel long time posters. Not really. I respect the both of them and their word, but man, they are in no way long time, and I think they would agree to that. If you want long time, see Loot.

Now the comment for "Fuck posting roll". You came to us bud. This is the basis and pillar on the site. If this is the way you feel, then all I can say is why are you here? This is the way it is done here. If you are not behind it then I agree with the others that you do not belong.

And I will take Diesel's word 7 days a week and twice on Sunday for the passion that he demonstrates on the site here. You should be so complimented that he took an interest in helping you.

As for the "never' taking another pinch, we will see as without your word to give to others (accountability), and without any support (brotherhood), I see a less than 30% chance of success in your future.

But its your call. You came here so either follow what the site stands for or choose your own path, but DO NOT SPEAK ILL OF IT OR ITS BROTHERHOOD

I'm no long time poster, agree. Hell I just hit a year. 1,000 posts ain't shit. There's guys with less quit days that have more posts.

Skoal Monster, Loot, Smokey, Waste, etc...those guys are and I would bet my last dollar they would each say they are addicts despite being quit for multiple years.

I dont know where all this is coming from Lushous I hope its because you had a few beers too many and decided to take your addict rage issues out on some brothers here... Like Sir Derek stated you found us we did not go looking for you. You showed up here with your own plan from day one. I will tell you this, I have dipped for approx 30 years and this approach has been the only one to set me free. (Yes I am new here also but what I do have is years on the planet) This program is working for me because for the first time I have made the connection that I am an addict and will always be. I have stated in many of my posts the differece between me and crack whores is the legality of the substance... If it werent for Bad Asses like WP,Diesel,and the contacts that I have made here to deliver a well placed kick or a helping hand, what would have kept the addict brain of mine going in the beginning. Now I have knowledge and tools I can do battle with my addiction on a somewhat level playing ground...by myself I am out matched with the brother and sisterhood I have a punchers chance. My advice to you is if you were boozing last night come back man up and apologize...if this is how you really feel then roll it you dont need us.
