Just didnt feel like having any yesterday and at one pont late in the day said ya know what fuck this i dont need it. The can sat on the counter all evening.... I thought about it several times.... not really a resolution but im fourty three and been addicted to nic since the age of 15. I seem to remember about 3 years in my mid twentys when i wanst using but whatever...i felt like i was geting the flu last night then figured it was some crazy withdrawl symtom. Probably anyway i woke up today and dumped that damn can in the trash. Even went back and looked at it when i was drinking coffee. There was a pile of it on top that was sitting all by itself... surely i wouldnt.... I shook the trash bag so it all dissapeared into the mix of New years festivities. I can do this for good now. Im just not sure how this support group works and the roll call thing. I join up with the April folks and then what...???

First off, congrats on quitting and saving your life. Here are a few links that can help you with your roll posting questions.
This is why we post roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=120)
This is how we post roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=50)
This is the super secret video on how to post roll (http://www.killthecan.org/roll/)
Embrace the suck. Exchange some phone numbers with your buddies in April. Reach out if you have any questions or need anything.

This is the greatest introduction I have ever read.
Not only have you identified that getting rid of your stuff was a great idea, you also realized as to what lengths you will go to to feed it (picking it out of the trash).
You and I are addicts. So are the other members of this site.
On this site, we post roll in the morning and say we will not use nicotine in any form all day. Fuck tomorrow. Then all we have to do is stay quit. When we wake up tomorrow, we repeat the whole process.
Take a look up at the top of this screen to the black banner. There is a pink "WELCOME CENTER" on the left side of the screen. It explains what we do and how we stay quit here.
The flu-like symptoms you are feeling is what we refer to as the "fog". It's your body's way of throwing a temper tantrum when it doesn't get its drug. Fortunately, you can control your actions.
When you are ready, go post day 1 over here. (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=5688).
Get some numbers. Give yours. We'll hold you accountable. You just need to stay quit.
