Hey btbtbt, first of all congrats on making the decision to quit. Read everything on this site, post roll, build a network, do whatever you have to do to stay quit. Seeds and fake chew really helped me stay quit early on.
One more thing, if you're referring to nicotine as your "old buddy" then you are mistaken, my friend. That's the addict in you talking. The non-addict in you knows that it is nothing but a filthy addiction that one day could take your life if you continue.
