Welcome to one of the best decisions of your life. In case you haven't been hit yet by the withdrawal symptoms, let me warn you now it's gonna suck for awhile. Even after the physical withdrawals, the mental symptoms remain for awhile. But take heart, if all of us here can quit (I dipped Copenhagen longer than you've been alive and managed to quit), you can too. My first advice to you is read up as much as you possible can on the addiction; get plenty of water in you to help flush the nicotine, and stay active. My next piece of advice is to get to know your quit group. Over the next few months they will become like an extended family to you. Trade digits with them (and with others on the site)...if you need mine, they're just a PM away. Build a web of accountability strong enough to sustain you through the weak moments. Your daily promise, sustained by your integrity and knowing others are going through the same thing, others you can trust to help you through it, stacking one day on top of the other, is how quits are built. I quit with you today.
