Today is the Day

I figured the fog would let up a little by now....Damn I'm tired.

The past week I felt like I am in the fog all day and super tired, but when I lay down to sleep I am WIDE awake. Last night I even had a dream about buying dip lol.

I had my first dip dream two nights ago....unbelievably friggin' realistic....woke up scared shitless that I'd broken my promise (just for a moment). I'm with you on the fog thing...no wonder they call it that...I don't even know what "normal" is without being all hopped up on nicotine and caffeine. I normally drink about six 20 ounce cups of coffee a day....now I'm down to just two.

Stay focused (HA!) my friends, stay strong; proud to quit with you EDD.

and DK, even if it cost $200 to fix that rim, it's only like 40-50 days of dipping...you're STILL coming out ahead. :D

So, this weekend I was in the fog and driving. I ended up doing what I am always scared of my wife doing....I bent the rim on my car. It wasn't a little bend either, it caused a slow leak because the bead wasn't set properly. I am generally the best driver on the road, but since I've been in the fog...I'm probably the shittiest driver out there. I ended up hitting a little concrete curb that extended into the road a little ways to protect parking spots. My fogginess is getting better, but damn...did I really have to screw up my car?

On another note, I hit a full week of no Nic today; I am also looking forward to hitting Double D's on Thursday. I know we are doing the damn thing ODAAT, but it is always good to have short term goals as well. Stay QLF my friends!

Good for you Dave. A week is awesome and you've been wise beyond your years in our group. Proud as hell to be quit with you today!

I was aircrew on the MV-22 Osprey. One hell of an A/C. I remember seeing the 60's from 224 in Iraq back in 2006-2007. The 60 is a badass A/C as well.

I always thought the V-22 was an amazing aircraft. I mostly just repair the 60's now and have transitioned out of being a crew chief/door gunner(I blew out 3 discs in my back so it is too painful to fly). I always wondered how much of a monster the 22's are to repair. Seems like a LOT of moving parts lol

It is a LOT of moving parts. Luckily it falls mostly on Avi and Airframes.... I was flightline/powerline so we didn't have much to repair, but when we did, it was a bitch. Now that I am out of the Corps I have had some pretty righteous back problems. Service connected disabilities, but they never told me what the problem was....go figure.

DK - I read your post on Sept roll today. You have excess energy that needs to be funneled to a healthy place. If anywhere near Raleigh, you are welcome to mow my grass, wash my cars, build me a new shed (16 x 20) please, maybe replace the roof. Quitting all day with you.

I used to live in Jacksonville, NC when I was in the Marine Corps on Active Duty. I have since moved away. The excess energy has kind of died down over the last couple of days. I wish I still had it. My quit is still strong as hell though. QLF!!!

Congrats on making the best decision for your health!

What airframe were you a part of an aircrew on? I guess my screen name gives mine away lol

Quit on brother

What makes this time different? When I stopped using before, it was either because I was forced or because I thought I should give it a shot (half-assed attempt). This time is different because my life depends on it. The big wake-up call is when I started having tooth pain due to a receding gum line. When it gets to that point, the tooth loss is well on its way. We all know that after you start losing teeth, the next step is cancer; either of the neck, the tongue, the throat, the lip, or the cheek. It is also different this time because I am not alone. I am being held accountable by quit brothers and sisters who are fighting the same battle. We have a common enemy in this. This is how this time is different.

This is my 3rd quit. I quit in boot camp, and I quit in Afghan. This time, I am quitting for myself, for my life, for my well being, for my freedom. I might be a bear for a few days, but I am quitting. Nothing is going to make me give up. Nothing is worth me giving up. What is more important than life?

You never quit before. You only stopped.

Any tool bag can stop for a little while, but only someone with some balls and WANT can QUIT. How bad do you want this?

You got balls or are you a little bitch and will this be your 4th STOP?

IF you have some testicular fortitude this will be your first and only QUIT.

I believe in you but ultimately it's up to you, sport.

Diesel,

I've got this shit in the bag brother. ODAAT. I am sick and tired of giving my life away for $3.20 a can. Never again. I'm too pretty to lose half my face, and I'm too damn stubborn to let Nic take me down. cowboy BRING IT

That's the attitude it's gonna take. Grind Grind Grind.

Stick to the site and the blueprint made by those on this site.

Its gonna suck for awhile. But in the grand scheme of things it will only be a tiny snap shot of suck in your life. A snap shot that could save your life.

Get after it.
