Hello all, not certain if this is where I post an introduction. Anyway, have chewed almost a can a day for 35+ yrs. My quit coincided with my retirement and a annual teeth cleaning. Long story short I will be a week without tobacco tomorrow.

Congrats on quit, retirement, and teeth cleaning!

35 years of chew here as well, but it is great being quit.

Head over to the January 2016 quit group and post roll, your promise to yourself and all here that you will not use nicotine for 24 hours. It will be an everyday thing on wake up.

Exchange digits with your fellow quitters (use the PM thing) to expand your support network.

Drink lots of water, exercise.

Congrats on your quit, but please clarify for me that you are nicotine free. Tobacco free is great, but this is a cold turkey site. We have some folks that go the NRT route and that's great for them, but it's not what we do here.

It's good to have seasoned addicts join the pack. You need to show all these young quitters how serious you are at quitting, post roll early every day. Those of us that have been addicts for longer than many of these guys have been alive can have a real impact setting the example of quitting.

This is one reason why I enjoy coming here daily. A new quitter. Quit on, post roll and make friends (too damn easy to do here) in a good way. I quit with you. One day at a time.
