Day 1 - The Fog of War

[AppleJack]

Just a few minutes after I posted my initial entry on my intro last April... I got a pm from this guy. It was honest, welcoming, encouraging, and truthful.

I didn't expect that.

I was ready to just keep my head down and bull my way through my quit. Or... Just give up. If Steve hadn't sent me that pm I don't know how long I would have actually lasted. It was my first glimpse of the family here. The brotherhood. It made the difference.

Congrats on your 300 bro. Well done my fellow July bro!!

[Mike from AB]

Day 200 - Time has flown by. I really don't know where the time has gone. Those first 100 days were not cool and took forever. I hate the suck! The second 100 days (climb to second floor) was easier although not without several craves and the "missing" phase of a quit. I wouldn't really qualify it as a crave, just something missing from my daily routine.

Being one of the conductors for the Bad Asses of August helped solidify my quit and kept me involved but I will say that getting involved in helping/supporting the new quitters pushes me daily and keeps me accountable.

A shout out to AppleJack, Trauma and Duathman for blowing up my phone when I came close to not posting roll one day. These guys don't miss a thing. Quit, for being a great co-conductor and keeper of the stats. The bad ass quitters from the December Wreckin' Crew, Pinched, 2013 Junk Free July boys and girl that are left and still posting, they are my brothers and sister without a doubt.

A big thanks goes to those who have gone before me and continue to pave the way Every Damn Day!

To the new quitters reading this. Listen to and adhere to those who have gone before you. There is no magical or easy way to get through this addiction. You will always be an addict so get use to it, embrace it and don't fight it. Seek out the veteran quitters, there is not one of them here on this site that wouldn't help you out but don't waste their time. We all know who the serious quitters are by how they are posting roll. Hint: Post roll in the moving every day!

On to the Third floor. Peace out!

Congrats on hitting 200 days!! That's some awesome work!

You caved on day 95 originally, yet because of you and many others I am now on day 96. You are a great example of good quit and great man. Now enough of the group hug, get back to work Devil Dawg!

Glad I'm not posting a day one again. Funny to think about the last time I posted on this thread. I was in a deep fog. Craving so bad I couldn't think straight and some yahoo giving me $hit about being a real Marine and hoping that they are not all as weak as me. Not going to mention any names but that still sticks HARD.

Now that I'm at 100 days I can say, " 'Finger' Yahoo" and a little thank you because it pushed me over the edge, so maybe a *uck you very much is in order.

This is not a HOF speech because I believe I need more than 100 days to stay quit. I believe that one year posting roll everyday will get me to the point where I can personally have a better peace of mind over my thought processes and actions. But will continue to post one day at a time like I have been. This is but a mile post in my journey.

100 days is tough. It was tough to see so many good quitters cave. It was frustrating but good therapy as I looked at myself in each one of those caves of the July 2013 group and thought "you were there and you know how they feel and what they are going through." It sucks to cave because you end up feeling like a failure and it stays with you for a long time. Not recommended unless you like that sort of thing. I thought I did but now, I have a new perspective on life. I made some friends that I didn't now I had from the 2012 December Wreckin' Crew. Eric71 never quit on me and I met a bad a$$ quitter in AppleJack. He's a couple of days behind me but his quit far surpasses my quit. I've had to lean on him quite a few times to keep me straight...

Just my thoughts on day 100 for me. I'll write back at day 200 to see how y'all are doing. I look forward to making more friends and for the ones that give this site a hard time because it's not "all that" well, go pound dirt somewhere else, quit on your own or start your own quit group somewhere, it's a free world. Just don't let the door hit you on the a$$ on your way out!

Not a sermon, just my thoughts. Peace out brothers, and sisters...

I bow in your general direction :P

You are a testament to determination, resolve, humility, strength. You've done exactly what this site preaches... Post roll every damn day, reach out for help, reach out to help. You won every day that got you here bro. Super proud to be a July quitter with you!

challenge you to update this page a little more than once every 100 days - by doing so you allow others to aid in your quit but it might resound with a newb who shares similar life history.

Either way keep it rolling ....EDD

Good Job sand fleas. I can't believe it's already been 100. Are you sure,, seems like just a few weeks ago you first came. You sure It's not just 50 and we are all in a fog right now.

Just kidding bro!! It figures you and fu fu were right there together. Two of the most memorable screen names i'v known. See you at 101. Glad to be quit with you.

Hey ol' buddy! I'm so proud of you man! Oorah! Kick fucking ass! You know, you were one of only a few who have stuck up for me here, and here we are on July 11 and tobacco free! This was my first July 4th without a dip! Different methods, same result. Like I said before, you make me proud and you stand as an example for the Corps. Alot of our brothers suffer from this addiction, and you are a light to them.

I love you brother, and I quit with you every single goddamn day.

We are all here to support you and each other.  But you gotta take the 3 questions seriously - they are important.  Its not just for your group's sake, it forces you to think about what you'll do differently next time to avoid caving.

Glad you're quit again, I quit with you.  now:

(1) What happened to make you cave?

(2) Why did it happen?

(3) What are you gonna do differently in this quit, to avoid the same thing happening?

Thanks rickddd - Glad to be back.

Answers to questions:

1) What happened to make you cave? I lost control of myself and didn't take my quit seriously. I made a bad choice.

2) Why did it happen? I didn't take my quit seriously. I didn't post roll call when I should have

3) What I will do differently?
1. I will post roll call everyday.
2. I will take ownership of my quit.
3. I will take my quit seriously.
4. I will take advantage of the wisdom of those who have gone before me and stayed quit. I am an addict and I will need their help when I cannot go on any further.

That's it? Pretty weak. Did you even take a look deep down inside yourself to try to understand why you caved?

Do you talk to anyone in your quit group? Do you have anyone's number? Do you have a quit contract?

Do you have a plan in place when the temptation arises?

I'm sorry that my answers didn't meet with your approval. I didn't know I needed to go into exile and have some deep spiritual epiphany as to the details of how, where, when, why and what the details were 'archer'

I have posted everyday in my current quit group and have been in contact with a few from my old group as well as a number of others in other quit groups. I do have their numbers.

Do I have a plan in place when the temptation arises? Every F****** minute 'bang head'

I know you might be salivating at the opportunity for me to cave right away. Don't worry, I'm not about to give you and parputt the satisfaction.

Love your avitar though :D

Sounds like you have it all figured out. The answers to the questions aren't for my benefit, they are for yours.

And. no, I don't want anyone to cave. But it's important to understand what happened you last cave and what you need to change.

But what do I know, I'm just a Hollywood Marine who had to hump up mountains instead of dealing with sand flea bites 'na na'

I understand what you are saying Marine. I know this is my problem but after all it is only day 8 for me and I'm a little tense. ... Someone told me that MMF was only a hill by East Coast standards 'tease'

I quit with you today :D

It's my creed and my honor to quit with every one of you badasses in here.

I've been laying low from a minor surgery the last week and am just now getting up to speed on what I missed around here.

I was really disappointed to hear you had caved, but am damn glad you are back to QUIT!  You've answered the questions and faced up to the failure...

I'll quit with you every damn day!! I got your back and am happy to see you here again! I'll post in July with you!

I'll PM you my digits.

Kuss

Kuss - you said it all!
Flea- what Kuss said x2

fleas - We've talked and as a member of the Wreckin' Crew, I accept your appologies, forgive you for your failure and welcome you back home. Your quit must mean more to you than anything else right now. That doesn't mean you don't go to work, hang with friends, and spend quality time with your family. It means when the bitch is whispering in your ear and all hell is breaking loose, you stop what you're doing and pick up your phone. You call me, Kuss, Eric71 and any of the other quitters that have your back and let us help you.

By your handle and your avatar, I'm going to guess that you've been through much tougher situations than the nic bitch creeping up on you. Dig deep and keep knocking that bitch down.
