Hi im Mike (Leaving last name out you'll lol).

First id like to say i was looking around the site and forums and i have to say i like everything about it.

So now to business, i thinking about quitting for a few days now for many reasons. My main reason is i am getting Enlisted in the Marines DEP (Delayed Entry Program) and i want to quit dipping so my all around health is better and mainly so when i go to MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) i dont have high or slightly elevated blood pressure, I dont really know how they look at it being slightly high but i also want to quit for me.

Now my question is

When i quit will my blood pressure go back to normal? Or stay a bit higher then normal? Or stay wherever it is now?


Thanks for reading this and thanks for the great website and help

Nicotine is a stimulant so it raises blood pressure.

If you want to quit you should join us and implement our plan. We quit 1 day at a time by posting roll.

Here is why we post roll. http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=120

Dump it, flush it, never look back. Dipping is no longer an option. Post roll every day and keep your word. Congrats on a fantastic decision!

Anyone can stop, but can you quit? A "Stopper" versus a "Quitter"

Mike,

First off, congratulations on making the best choice of your life. Second, thank you for stepping up to the line to serve our country. It's young men like you who give me hope that our country isn't really headed down the toilet.

Now, since you want to be a Marine, be prepared to be treated like one here. This is a no-bullshit zone...people say it like it is. I'm questioning your motivation to quit...straight up. You say that you want to quit to lower your blood pressure...bullshit. You need to quit in order to save your life. Dipping is nothing but suicide on the installment plan. You're an addict, just like every single one of us here...you're no different. Own that. If you can make the decision today that you will not be a slave to nicotine, I will stand right next to you on the line...and so will everyone else here.

You're in a great position to quit right now. Clearly if you're going into DEP, you're fairly young and healthy. You can make the decision right now that I didn't make 27 years ago. Yes, I went into DEP as a dipper...never thought about quitting. It took me all that time to realize that I was slowly killing myself. You have a chance right now to just tell the nic-bitch to fuck right off and walk away from her. Being a Marine is stressful...lots of old Marines here who will back that up. Don't let that stress drive you deeper into the can. Make your promise, quit for today, keep your word, come back tomorrow and repeat. It's that simple, but it's not easy.

Shoot me a PM if there's anything I can help you with. We will support you every step of the way, but the choice is yours. Choose wisely... 'archer'

Wish I could take credit for it...I stole it from someone else, but can't remember who.

If he's not man enough to come here and post roll, I wonder how USMC boot camp will be. I hope he doesn't soil himself. 'cry'
