I worry.
when I walk into the gas station,
when I sit with a friend that is chewing
when I drive
when I eat
I worry.
I Worry.
That your still in love with it.
That it's still your identity.
That your affraid of peer pressure.
That you cant handle being still.
That it makes you feel better.
That you think it might even help you with..........?

Lie lie lie lie lie.
Either its killing you.
Or your killing it.
No walking the fence...
Bury it......
Set the boat on fire with no possible chance of return.
Kill it or be killed.

Ive read 1000+ intros...
Let's be clear.... Your scared!
Start chasing it.... Dont let it chase you.
You can do this.
Fight early ALL DAY LONG.
It will be your greatest victory!
Thanks for your service.
Lets quit romancing and go to work.
We dont talk about a couple of days.
We just focus on today.
Tomorrows not worth the worry.
Today is where you will find your battle won.
Winning today.. Makes for a soft pillow.
I quit with you today.
Post roll.....ODAAT
Rawls 504
I believe.....

FLOOR.. 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12...13..14..15..16..17..18..19

It is very simple! We quit for today! We wake up! Do it again tomorrow!! One day at a time!
We walk in each others quit shoes, it may be a little different but ultimately the same exact thing

"Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."

So here it is, me dropping my hands and giving up. I will not touch nor partake in another pinch, bandit, pouch or otherwise ingested nicotine. It feels like the weight of the world is lifted off of my shoulder, and at the same time, it feels like I am saying goodbye to a long time friend.
To be fair, Cope has been with me longer then any friend, or family. It was there in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was there when my son was born, and my daughter.
To be clear there isn't anything or anywhere that I have done and been that Cope wasn't there with me.

To be clear, I am currently about to finish my 4th day. First couple days were not difficult, like every other time that I had quit. But this one is scaring me. Other then my mouth killing me and the every so often anger. I have done pretty well with keeping my idle hands busy, and keeping gum and lifesavers close.

I worry.

Here is looking at a couple more days, before a couple more days.
Today is the evil that I will beat, Today. Tomorrow; I will get to that evil tomorrow.
First, congrats on freeing yourself from nicotine slavery. Second, nicely done on posting roll in the July 2016 group. (Hint: go to the highest numbered page and get the most recent roll post each morning). Get to know the quitters there, exchange digits, have backup for those "worry" moments.

Thanks for your service! Lots of military around here that can relate to your specific challenges. All of us can relate to nicotine addiction, and the suck and fog of gaining freedom from it.
