Wow was not counting on this kind of support. Ot is great to be part of a community like this. Expecially since not many in my life have any clue what im going thru. Does it ever get easier or is it a struggle every day?

I had my last chew on the way home from work last night. I have been addicted to nicotine for about 9 years now. I started out smoking in college for about 2 years and have been chewing for the last 7. I have attempted quiting before but it was always for my wife and never for myself. That is what is different about this go around, this time it is for me.
Knowing your an addict is huge. Now you are doing something about it. That's even more huge. Doing this for yourself, well that there is the start to a successful quit.

Read, read, and read some more. Get active on this site. The more active you are the better chance you will remain quit.
Hit the welcome center to find out how things work around here. Learn how to post roll and do it EVERY DAY. This is your promise to not put that shit in your mouth. Like Raider said, get involved and stay involved. It's the only way this works.
Yep, these guys are right.

I may have been able to take a break for a while all by myself, but never could have quit without this place. Make some friends, build a reputation, Earn some trust. It'll pay back exponentially in freedom.
It's freaking awesome to see your name on roll. Good for you, you deserve to be free! As others have said read all you can and reach out and send me a PM if you need anything. I quit with you all day.
Post roll every day and read everything you can. The more you read and learn from this site the better your odds of beating the bitch, because it is not easy.

I love golf, but do not play nearly enough. Country music, my wife, front porch, and a cold beer is all it takes to make me happy.

It is going to get worse before it gets better, but as a wise man once told me, "It ain't no step for a stepper.". Just lower your head, and power through. You will feel better for it. You quit for yourself, but it helps so many other people in the process. There is truly no better feeling than telling someone you are quit. Just make your promise daily, and quit every damn day. You got this!

Buckle up for what we call "the SUCK", remember these next 3-4 days, and then never go through the SUCK again. We do this one day at a time, and today I promise you, the KTC, my family and myself I will not use nicotine today. I am proud to have you join me.

I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.
