Congrats on finally ripping off the band aid.

Here's how you do it:
  • Post roll every morning without fail giving your word you will not use nicotine in any form.
  • Honor your word.
  • Wake up and repeat.
Nice job on the 1st roll. Hang with us and quit one day at a time. If I can do it, you can do it. Read, read, read. Get involved.

Today was the first day in what, 12 years, that I didn't wake up and reach for a can. Obviously a short milestone, but judging by the majority of the posts I've read so far, quitting is all about the short milestones; the first hour, the first day, the first week...

I'm in the Army, and if there is a less conducive environment to quitting something that has been such a huge crutch in my life, I can't think of it (maybe LEOs too, anything with stress, I don't want to denigrate anyone's job, and damn sure not on Day One!).

I've tried to keep myself busy so I don't think of it, but that's a double edged sword; the busier I get, the higher my stress level tends to get, and the urge to just stop at the corner store or shopette increases.

Fingers are crossed at any rate. You guys do an amazing job here, I stumbled on this site at the turn of the new year and was blown away. Thanks for all you do!
Excellent decision Dave! Glad you posted roll! Get involved here, read read read. A lot of great stuff is all over this site.
Uncross your fingers Dave. You're in the company of badass Nicotine quitters. You can do this ODAAT and NAFAR, period
Stick around, gather your tools of quit and your quit will stick.
There is no try.
