First. congrats on making a huge decision!
B. Embrace how much quitting sucks, thy way you'll never want to have to go through this shit again.
III. Do your reading and post roll daily (your group is march '14)
4. Need someone to talk at, the chat room is perfect, or just get ahold of me.
Last. I'd wish you good luck, but I'm sure you know it doesn't take luck, just a big ol sack.

Oh and WELCOME!

Nice job posting roll, and GREAT decision to end your slavery NOW. I was gonna quit for more than 20 years before I faced all the BS lies that kept me in the can.

Actually, stubborn is good. You will quit on your own. IMHO, we all quit on our own. You are the one that will or will not buy a can....run your thumbnail over the seam, take a pinch, insert. You are the one that will, or will not, make all those decisions. Nothing I/we can do about that.
What we can do is support your decision. We can show you how to burn bridges. We can let you know what to expect so you aren't surprised. We can tell you truths that your family/friend/sig other often times can not. What we can do is point out flaws in your plan. What we can do is applaud when you kick the nic bitch square in the mouth. And best of all, we can accept your word, your promise, that you will not use nicotine today, and hold you accountable to that promise.
No, this is very much still YOUR quit. We are just here to support a decision that you have already made...not to use nic today.

Welcome aboard. PM me if you need digits, or have any questions. (and you will need digits!). Read, read, read everything you can on KTC....and drink a LOT of water.

Thanks for the response. I'll do my reading and will load up on some more seeds. You've been a great help already in being the first person to have my back. Thanks!

Congrats on a great decision. I wish i would have been as smart as you after only 4 years of use.

My advice is use all the tools of this site. Jump in and drink the quit kool aid. Start by going to the to left and read up in the welcome center. Learn how and why we post roll. Pay particular attention to why.

Next, load up on some alternatives. Gum, candy fireballs. Anything that doesn't contain nicotine.

One day at a time and you can have back a lot of what the poison had stolen. Never again for any reason and you can keep it. Need a number let me know.

Hello. I've been addicted to nicotine for about 6.5 years and dipping for 4.5 years (a half a can to a can everyday). I've always known that I wanted to quit but have been telling myself that I'll quit in the future. At some point, we need to quit telling ourselves that we are going to do something tomorrow and instead do it today.

I began my quit yesterday morning and have been nicotine free for 35 and a half hours now. I was very hesitant about posting on this board because I'm stubborn and guess I just thought I could do things on my own. But after I continued reading, I realized this community can really help if I take advantage of it.

So far, I've had ups and downs. I haven't really experienced a fog but didn't sleep very well last night at all--kept waking up, sweaty despite my apartment being cold. This is the longest I've been without nicotine in probably 4 years so I knew it would be difficult. I've been using seeds and beef jerky to help. I'm most worried about going back to work tomorrow because most of my triggers stem from work, specifically driving to and from work. Any suggestions on fighting specific triggers?

Thanks! Heading to roll call to make my first post on there.
