Day one is tough. It gets better. You gave your word for today. Me and 17, 000 plus expect you to keep it. Welcome to being quit. Freedom: smell it, feel it and taste it. Quit with you today.
Identify those triggers so you'll be ready in the future to deal with them. Get numbers from your fellow quitters and build those relationships. Get online and read to pass time, go to chat. You can do it! One day at a time, one crave at a time.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

Awesome job posting roll.

The others have given you some fine advice and cleared the addict speak nonsense (driving, money, fake, weight, blah blah blah) quite well, so I will just add that you should check out the shit some other quitters have done.

I would like you to find the QSX endurance club (if you are a runner / endurance athlete post up), mainly to read Mike Land's recent race report. He has lost 100lbs since quitting, and completed a half marathon in just over 2 hours.

You will be amazed what quitting does for your exercise - the sheer will power it takes to quit will make you realize how mentally strong you really are, and your workouts will benefit greatly.

If its too much trouble to post roll call, you could always fuck off.

I was planning to quit cold turkey tomorrow. I was just looking for some last minute tips to help me with this and I found this site. Here is my current worries after some reading. 1. 3 months ago I started a very good workout regimen and diet that I have stuck to and really enjoy. I was severely over weight and really out of shape. Since then I have lost 27 pounds and am starting to put on a nice muscle base. I am worried that quitting will simply ruin what I have done over the last 3 months due to the food cravings and lowered metabolism. 2. I am taking my family on a highly anticipated vacation in 2 weeks. We are driving 17 hours which I know driving is a big trigger for me. I am wroried if I quit now I may relapse while driving or I will simply be a big asshole and ruin our vacation. 3. I have read about all of the alternatives such as Smokeys and Mint Snuff. Problem is one of my reasons for quitting is monetary. I will be spending the same amount of money on these alternatives as the real thing.

I really do want to quit. I set my date for tomorrow and was really confident. I didnt realize that it would be that hard until doing research tonight. In all honesty i feel that by doing rrsearch it is scaring me away with my current situation. I have never tried to quit before. PLEASE SEND ME ANY ADVICE OR WORDS OF REASSURANCE YOU HAVE IN REGARDS TO MY SITUATION
1. Weight gain...entirely up to you. I'm 46 days quit, haven't gained a pound. Plus it's easier to lose weight than it is to lose cancer.
2. 17 hour drive...it's up to you whether you dip or not, we all managed to quit and remain quit, cold turkey. You're not special, you can do it, too.
3. BS, you don't have to use fake chew. Use sugar free gum, mints, seeds, carrots...whatever. Or use nothing.
Brother, you're looking for someone to agree that now isn't the right time for you to quit. Not going to find that here. Man the fuck up. Quit. Do it now.

Nice. Banger.

Also, about the weight gain...that's up to you. You don't have to gain a bunch of weight with a quit. If your quit needs some feeding, have some carrots, almonds, or other healthy snacks laying around that you can stuff your face with. Drink the absolute mother FUCK out of water. That will help on several levels. Is see you already exercise...good, do it more. It helps with stress also.

I actually read somewhere recently that the whole -quitting-nicotine-slows-your-metabolism is a bunch of horseshit anyway...that actually it's NICOTINE that lowers your metabolism generally, and that quitting may actually raise it in some people. Just depends. Bottom line is, quitting a habit that your body depended on for multiple years kind of puts everything in a tailspin for awhile. But its all temporary.

Last time I checked, jaw removal for oral cancer is pretty fucking permanent.

Let's quit today. I'll do it with you.

Everyone's quit is different. You may not be angry from withdrawal once you're on the vacation.

Furthermore, if you really want to quit and you want to profess to all of the people on here that you really want to quit, then do it.

You want scary? Scary isn't being afraid of quitting. Scary is not being able to take that vacation some time down the road because you keep putting cancer in your lip.

I lost 60 lbs in 6 months after quitting. I spend 2 hours a day in the car minimum, that used to be 120 solid minutes of pure nicotine love. I didn't use any alternatives, as monetary was also a motivator for me.

Today is day 442 for me.

If I can do it, you can do it. You gotta want it. And you gotta quit. It can be done.

Just quit and be done with it. The sooner you quit, the sooner you can take back your life. The weight gain thing is real, but if you already have a solid exercise routine and a healthy diet and you stick to it throughout your quit I am completely confident that you will gain little to no weight.
