Greetings All, I am 5 days into my quit and actually doing pretty well. I have failed in the past but haven't given up the dream. The huge difference this time is using CBD oil to calm my nerves. If you are really anxious, CBD may be the way to go. I look forward to the next 95 days.

Hey Mourning,
Nice job posting Roll. Just worry about today. Today is all we can control. Get through today, come back and post your promise again tomorrow for the next 24 hours.
One Day At A Time (ODAAT) Every Damn Day (EDD) Wake Up, Piss, Post (WUPP)
Those are the three most important acronyms in this forum. We wake up and post our promise first thing everyday, taking nicotine off the table for the day. We do this every day, weekends and holidays included and we only worry about today. Tomorrow will come with it's own challenges and I only want to deal with today's challenges.
You are off to great start. Read everything you can in this place, drink a ton of water, keep seeds, gum, snacks, whatever you are using for the oral fixation, with you at all times. Exchange phone numbers with other quitters in your group and some vets. These numbers are your life line in case you have a bad day and that can starts to look really good, use those numbers and reach out to someone, don't let the nic bitch win. Those numbers also are part of your web of accountability and brotherhood. The more you have and use, the stronger the web.
Let's do this this. Proud to quit with you today,
Chris

Chris is right - just worry about today. If you do that, the next 95 will take care of themselves.
In addition to that, once you do reach HOF, the battle against nicotine is not over. I'm on day 1,321, and I still post my promise daily. I still get craves to pop a dip into my mouth. Sure, they're way less often, and by magnitudes less intense, than they were the first 100 days, but they're still there.
Proud to quit with you.
