Welcome aboard! The first thing you should do is go over to the November Quit Group and post roll. Do this first thing each day. It's your promise to yourself and everyone here that you will not use nicotine today. In turn, it is our promise to you that we will not use nicotine, either. That's the foundation of accountability that we build here.
The next few days and weeks are going to be rough. Prepare yourself with plenty of gum, candy, water, etc to keep your mouth busy. Keep your mind busy by reading anything and everything you can on this site. Soak it up and truly absorb it.
You need to start reaching out and get digits from other members of the November Quit Group as well as other vets. Texting with these people is going to be a crucial component in your daily battle to stay quit.
Finally, you need to get involved on this site and stay involved. Too many people think they can waltz in, post roll whenever they feel like it, and then check out. You're not going to build any kind of brotherhood doing that and the accountability goes down to nil as a result.
You got this today.
