you've made an important step already, jg, by finding KTC and posting here.
first off, visit the pink welcome center link in the upper left hand corner of the site. it'll give you some links to read that will explain the basics.
my version of the basics:
1. accountability: we post roll EVERY DAY. it is our promise to ourselves, our quit brothers and sisters, the KTC community, and our real-life support that we will not use nicotine in any form that day. we post roll first thing in the morning because it is a promise to be kept, not later in the day as a status update. i'm at day 560; i didn't miss a day for the first 100+ days, and have only missed 3-4 days in all 560. make posting roll as important to you as dip once was. no excuses.
2. knowledge: read, read, read. this site is an amazing resource... it has the scary pictures, it has the sad stories, it has the inspiring posts, it has it all. the first few days are tough, and reading as much as i could on this site helped me a ton. check out HOF posts, words of wisdom, read other quit groups, etc. if you ever run out of stuff to read, you can start over again (hint: you're not going to run out!)
3. brotherhood: get involved in your quit group and the KTC community. the more connected you are, the less likely you are to lie to your brothers and sisters. swap phone numbers, text each other, tell funny stories in your quit group, rage at some vets... it's all a part of getting to know this place and letting us get to know you.
that's a fair bit to digest. flush all of your tins down the toilet and start now. there's no such thing as quitting tomorrow.

Go to the quit groups and find the group that u will be in and post roll. Someone will let u know what else to do. Just being here and making this choice is the first step.

Good choice if you stick with it you will never regret today!

atta boy, jg! saw you posted roll!
now you keep your word today. the nic bitch will come kicking and screaming, but be strong. sunflower seeds, fireballs, fake dip, etc will all be your friends. drink lots of water, get some exercise. read, read, read the stuff on KTC... it'll keep your focsed, it'll motivate you, and it'll keep you focused. you've got this.
see you tomorrow morning!
