Welcome! Looks like you have the drill down.
You can do this. Not just stop for a while, but actually quit.
This site and all the addicts here can help.
Stay close, post roll and quit each day. Reach out or post if you have questions. Tons of great material to read on this site.
Fish, eat, sleep. Repeat.

Welcome! Grizzly is right. Many here are like just like you. We are addicts that have learned from experience just how persistent this addiction is. I quit after using for 19 or 20 years. I couldn't have done it without this place and the folks I've met here. Noticed I said "MET". Every person here is real. I was hesitant at first because the idea of giving my number to a bunch of internet ninjas seemed odd. But, the system here works. Drink the kool-aid, bro.

If you are indeed a firefighter as your screen name indicates, you may want to check this forum out if you haven't found it yet. It is yet another source of distraction as well as another layer of accountability.

Hey guys. New to the site here. I have dipped for over 12 years a can a day. Have tried damn near everything to quit. Except a support group. Have read alot on this site as a visitor for a while now. Figured it was time for me to quit sidelining, lay the can down and quit. I have many reasons to quit. My health, my quality of life, my family, to save money, because I don't want to get cancer or have my face taken off, etc... Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Its not gonna be easy but Hell nothing in life worth doing is ever easy.
Welcome to a great day!!!!
You have decided to quit the nic bitch!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

Awesome!
I am in the same boat as you...It is only day 2 for me but I can already tell that having some good people to be accountable to makes a difference.

Happy first day, glad to be quit with you.

Make sure you get on here and read or post when you get pissed off...someone will be right there to give you advice, share some experience, or just to calm you down...(I already had this happen yesterda)

Let me know if I can help in any way.

I see you already figured out how to post roll call, I posted right behind you and if you ever need anything just give a yell. It can get rough in here at times, people are going to be raging, spreading their words of wisdom or just trying to piss people off and you are going to be angry with the nic bitch coming out of your system. 'bang head'

Just stick it out, deal with what gets thrown your way and stay quit, we're here to help you get through this, we're here to hold you accountable and we're here to make sure you live.

Welcome to the best group ever.
