...That I do an introduction. No real reason I didn't do this when I first joined almost a month ago, just kinda dove in and didn't get around to it. I was blogging my craves and struggles in my "quit smoking" phone app, just seemed convenient. I'm James, I'm 23, and I'm an addict. I started smoking when I was 18. Started with cigars, then moved quickly to a half pack a day habit. About 3 years ago, I picked up chewing when I was at home and in the winter when it was too cold to have a smoke. I would be able to put it down whenever I wanted. I was wrong. Spent the last 3 years being a dual nicotine user, although I had grown more fond of dip as time went on. Quit dip cold turkey on a lost bet on Super Bowl sunday, and spent the next month miserably smoking a pack a day. One night, decided to stop. I Quit for me. I quit so I wouldn't be a slave any more. I quit to be healthier and just generally live a better life.
I've been quit for 27 days, and I couldn't have done it without this site. This place works if you let it, and I'm glad I made the choice to drink the Koolaid. There have been countless people on here who have supported me and helped my quit, and I thank all of you guys. I quit with June today.
I can't tell you that I'll be quit forever. If there's one thing I've learned, it's to let the future take care of itself. I posted roll today, so I can tell you that I will be quit for today. Tomorrow, I'll wake up and quit again. And so it goes.
