Welcome Thomas. I know it's lame to copy and paste but what I posted up on Max's intro goes for you too.
If you have any sort of nicotine in your presence, it needs to be destroyed and disposed of immediately. If you have dip, flush it. If you have gum, patches, or whatever else trash it and get it out of the house. The next few days will definitely be a test of will power and determination. The important thing to remember is that no matter what the nicbitch says (the voice inside you that talks you into caving) you must resist. Know that she's upset that you're leaving and she will throw everything she has at you to get you to come back. She doesn't care about you. She just want you to have your fix so she can sink her claws even deeper into you. Focusing on working out helped me out too as well as pounding down endless amounts of water. A fellow quitter told me early on that if I can walk passed a bathroom without stopping to piss I'm not drinking enough.
Get with your quit group, which is pre-hof May I believe, and post roll. Posting roll is your promise not to use nicotine in any form for 24 hours. Go to the welcome center and get acquainted with the site and all the to do's. If you need any further assistance don't hesitate to ask. Use this introduction thread as a journal of sorts and post up about your quit and ask for advice. Read up on other peoples introductions and browse the other quit groups to get a good idea of what you're in for. Don't get discouraged though. We're all addicts just like you but I assure you it does get better with every passing day. Reach out and we're here for you. Embrace the suck and you got this! One day at a time (ODAAT), every damn day (EDD), and get it solid in your head right now you will use nicotine never again for any reason (NAFAR). I quit with you today!
