Congratulations on your decision. It's one you will never regret. But don't be fooled - quitting is not for pussies. It takes balls, determination and a relentless disdain for the nic bitch who's been nagging at you all this time. But if you use the tools you have at your disposal, you can be successful.
Here's everything you need to know about this site:
We quit one day at a time by making a promise each morning that we will not use tobacco IN ANY FORM (dip, cigarettes, cigars, snus or patches/gum) for the day. We stay quit for the day, go to bed and wake up and do the same thing. You make your promise by "posting roll."
The
Welcome Center tells you all the basics of how things work around here. WhoDey also has taken the time to develop very informative, step-by-step
Instructions for Posting Roll to help guide you through posting your promise for the first few days.
Some asides:
1) We don't "try" to quit, or tell others "good luck" in their quits. Again, it's about determination and balls.
2) We don't take kindly to folks who just drop in every couple of days and post. Posting every day is the whole point of why we are here. It's about accountability.
3) Reach out to your brothers via private message and exchange phone numbers. First, this allows you a contact to post roll for you if you can't get to a computer. But more importantly, it allows you a brother to reach out to whenever you get a bad craving or need someone to talk to.
4) Lastly, it is wise to develop a quit plan so you'll know exactly how to handle situations that may arise during your quit.
