Can I do this?

[marine_2002]

gunna go Post roll if I can figure it out. I really hope work doesn't block this site. Most forums and other sites like this are blocked on the govt computers...they better not or I'll flip shit. I can't go 8 hours without the motivation...I CAN but don't want to. I've been watching this site on here for 2 year now, enrolled last month, and made the actual decision to quit being a jackass and speak out. So here goes nothing, going to post roll.

[eyehatecope]

Hell yeah! Awesome to hear. Quit on and we are here for you.

I hit day 100 today and never thought it was possible. You have got this Marine.

I quit with you and if you need me for anything let me know.

[marine_2002]

Pab...yr a dick. We Gunna get along just fine haha. Exactly the push I need for real. I didn't post roll for the sole fact that I'm going to tonight after actual day one tobacco Free. Yesterday was my final eff you to the grizzly. Just stopped by my gas station and didn't buy my usual. Ended up with 3 packs of chewing gum, seeds, mints, and a pack of Twinkies. It all might last until noon haha. Keep me motivated fellers, y'all are my back up. So with that said... KISS MY ASS NICOTINE...

[Raider]

Like Pab said. Face it head on. I told all my suppliers when I quit and made them promise to never sell me that shit again.

I walked into s Wal-Mart one day and the nic bitch was begging for me to come back. Right then and there, out loud, I told her to Fuck Off. You can do it.

Post fucking roll and be quit

I think vets (military, war, and nic) is what I need. My skin is thick and I can take a "suck it buttercup" and whatever kind remarks anyone can dish out. I need people that will be hard on me and cuss me out when I'm expressing feelings of wanting to bum a quit. I will make this promise to myself, buy no more. It's hard because I stop at a gas station every morning on the way to work to get me a mountain dew and a pack of nabs. I'll just have to hit up sam's club or visit the "people of walmart" to grab that stuff to eliminate the need to stop. When I quit dipping for the three months (still wasn't nic free because of the lozenges) the gas station folks were pissed because that's $6 less I was spending a day on the 2 cans (always have one back up incase I get caught at work) but were all "good for you, that stuff will rot your face off) I was proud to not be dipping but I still had nic so I was good. I think this ride is going to suck far worse. As one of you mentioned (best advice I've seen yet might I add) you only have to go through this crap once...very true and I'll take that and run with it. I wanna do it, I'm ready, just need to stay true to my own word. No one peer pressures me worse than I do and I'm my own bad influence.

are you worried that the fine folks at the gas station will be pissed because you aren't helping them pay their bill? fuck that that's stupid. fuck them. or continue to poison yourself out of making them happy.

One day at a time is all you can do, you know what? You can do this! You have to want it though.

Question is do you really want to quit?

Anybody can be an addict. Only the best of the best can quit.

I was a dlave to Kodiak for 25 years before finding this place. I'd like to think that a marine is more bad ass than some soft paper pusher like me...

If I can do this, I'm sure you can. But you have got to want this like nothing you've ever wanted before. You have to believe us when we tell you that the freedom that is ahead is unlike life as you know it. That the health benefits and money benefits are great, but the freedom is indescribable. You are quit. No lozenges. No cigars. No patch. It takes real balls to do this. You've got them, marine. Ho post roll and prove that you want this. Stop playing around and quit like a quitter.

Hey Marine thanks for your service. Hopefully your not to big a pus to put that little tin that you love so much down. Wow it really is a shame that a grown ass man can't make himself a promise for 24 hours and keep it! Guess that's why you haven't posted roll because your not man enough. Grab your sac man up and do this shit! Go in that damn gas station face your fucking enemy buy your mt.dew and smile, that's the way you handle adversity my friend don't hide from it! Face it! Post roll so your son will have a father , quit being a selfish prick ,time to be the man you claim to be! I'm saying you can't do this, prove me wrong! I quit with you!

naval gazing. HA. Looking forward to being a quitter for the first time in my life at anything. My concentration will go to sh*t I'm sure. Maybe I'll but toothpicks or coffee straws or something to chew on to keep my from grinding my teeth out. I think I'm ready for the long haul fellas. I'll tell the gas station lady to hit me in the nuts if I ask for my Grizzly wintergreen pouches in the morning...

[ChristopherJ]

Stop naval gazing and get in there and post roll marine. That is your promise that just for today you will not use nicotine in any form. Are you a man of your word?

[Nomore1959]

Good call!

Post roll with this group: topic/11383298/149/

You will find marines here, say hello: topic/1006068/95/

In each go to the highest numbered page  post a hello. Exchange digits for the accountability.

You got this.

You'll hear EMBRACE THE SUCK a lot in here. And ain't it the truth. Think about how awful those first few days are.. embrace it, burn it into your memory cells. Think that if you stay quit, you will never have to go through that again.

I have craves, still, and tell myself that as bad as it is for me, its worse for someone else in the FEB 2016 group, the JAN 2016 group, the DEC 2015 group... i just man up, grab the sack and quit on!

Selfish nic bitch used to console me saying that my quit was harder than anyone else, just have a quick one, you've quit for almost 100 days this time, you're good, you can quit anytime.

COLD TURKEY is the only way. Man up. You can do this!! Post every day, get active in your group, exchange digits... use the mass of knowledge and experience on this site. Some vets may be tough on you, and you may feel like leaving the site. Pretty soon a light bulb will go off and you will 'get it".

Before you know it, you[ll be reaching out to a newbie like yourself, THAT my friend is what this site is all about, support up and down the line.

Its all been said: drink water, exercise, get some fake, or gum or seeds.. in the end you'll find what works for you.

I AM STILL AN ADDICT but I AM NO LONGER A SLAVE. CAn you come join me and the rest of the bad ass quitters here??

[Nomore1959]

The relapses are a challenge. Everyone here has relapsed in the past, "stopping" the addiction for a while. What KTC helps us do is "quit."

The key is the daily roll post, where we publish our promise to not use nicotine for 24 hours. Anyone can quit for one day, and that promise binds us against nicotine's temptation. The future is out of our reach, but today we can beat nicotine.

Exchanging digits so a quick text or call when something happens can reinforce quit and avoid the relapse. Problem + nicotine = 2 problems.

You ask if I fear a relapse... Yes I do. But I know that if I wake up, post roll and promise no nicotine today, I won't relapse today. So I can get through today without a relapse, and am a little stronger for tomorrow.

[Raider]

did you ever have any "relapses" or whatever? That's my biggest fear. I'm afraid I'll get half way in, something will happen, and I'll fall off the wagon as I've done before. I know I have to trust myself and the word of experienced others but to me, I'm wondering how quitters (and I mean that in a good way) have had "one for old times sake". I'm not ready to give it up and can't imagine my life without it...I just have to for me. When your 3 year old is bringing you his empty bottles to spit it...it kinda kicks you in the balls. I know they say don't do it for anyone but yourself because you'll resent the one you "doing it for" but who can blame that still voice saying "do it for him man".

There are quitters in here that have gone through death in the family, divorce, and everything in between. They are still quit.

You cannot let the nic bitch back into your head. She will do whatever she can to get you to relapse. Tell her to eff off and move on.

You will not succeed until you learn to hate nicotine and realize that you have to quit.

I had so much happen during my first 100 days. Normally during a previous stoppage these thing would have caused me to cave. That's why I dove in and I post roll every damn day. I now have a great extended family watching my six.

Do you want it bad enough? Are you a man if your word? Are you ready? Flush it all and begin living life for you.
