Hi I'm Kevin, I quit nicotine September 22nd, 2016, so if I understand correctly that makes my group December 2016?
A little bit about myself, I had chewed for over 8 years at the time I quit, I'm from a small farm community in Indiana near the Ohio line by Cincinnati, Ohio. I have been using Smokey Mountain Herbal snuff on occasion but very rarely have need it, so far so good, I have good willpower. Just find myself very very exhausted at the end of the day. in my spare time I play rec hockey and enjoy Fishing and Hunting.

Welcome Kevin!
Yes, your group would be December 2016. You should go over there and start posting roll. Roll is every single day, as early as you reasonably can. That roll post is a promise not to use nicotine in any form for that day. You need to make that promise and take nicotine off the table as an option for you for that day.
You're coming up on two weeks quit. That's an awesome accomplishment, but I've gotta warn you that you're coming up on a really perilous time in your quit. The first week or two is crazy with the fog, severe cravings and just generally being out of your mind. However, if you're motivated enough, you can power through. This next period trips up a lot of people because that early adrenaline will wear off and you'll realize that this thing is going to be a long, drawn out slog of a battle.
That daily promise and the connections that you make with others in your group will be extremely valuable in this period. I highly recommend that you find your way to the group and start posting roll. It is the backbone of this site and the price of entry for the support you'll find here.
