Hey everyone... My name is Nathan and today is my day 1. Copenhagen Long Cut was my poison of choice, a can a day. From 5:30am to 10:30pm I always had a pinch(more like a big ass plug) in my mouth. A few minutes at lunch or dinner were the only times I took it out.
You hear stories all the time about lung cancer and the dangers of smoking, but very little about dip, so I pretended there weren't any. Then one of my childhood baseball heros had to go and die from chewing Monday. Reality check... and here I am.
Day 1 is not going well. I'm sweaty, nervous, and keep falling asleep at my desk. The wife bought me some Golden Eagle Herbal Chew to help. Shit tastes like someone vomited up a bunch of raisins and scraped them into a can... but I'm still shoveling it in my mouth faster than a fat kid does cake... that is when I'm awake enough, or not wiping off sweat.
Also tried figuring out how to post roll call. I stared at the instructions for an hour... nada... That may just have to wait until I can process information above 3rd grade level. Posting Roll atm looks harder than a teenager "reading" his first Playboy.
Anyway, good to be here.

Welcome aboard. You can figure out roll. It's the most important thing you should be figuring out right now. Get it done immediately.
I quit with you today. Figure out roll immediately. Glad you have quit.

BigNate,
Welcome to the Sultans of September....you probably already know your life is gonna SUCK for about the next week or longer. Learn how to deal with it by reading as much as you can about how/why you're addicted and the lies nicotine has been telling you all these years. There's a TON of info on this site to help you do that, and some recommendations about dealing with cravings/withdrawal. Last I looked, nicotine withdrawal never killed anybody (even if it feels like it sometimes), but cancer sure as hell has.
Quick primer on posting roll.
Go to September pre-HOF page
Go to LAST posted Roll
Hit F5 or Refresh page
Hit Quote
click in lower box
Ctrl A, then Ctrl X (cut)
click in upper box
Ctrl V (paste)
Type in your name and number days quit.
A little hint...at the bottom of each page, shows if there is somebody else actively posting...wait until that line goes blank, then you're free to post up.
Check your PM (private Message).
Again, welcome to the baddest group of quitters KTC has EVER seen, and likely will EVER see again. Proud to be quit with you today, man.

Posting roll is the most important thing you do here. It is your promise to yourself and all these other quitters here that you will use no nicotine in any form for 24 hours. Repeat daily. Get involved with your quit group, try the chatroom and get in the game!!
