I hid my addiction from my girlfriend for a long time. She found out about it after a year of us being together. She was really mad that I wasn't being honest with her, but now she is my biggest supporter. My suggestion to you is to tell your girlfriend. If you are serious about quitting you will tell her. By keeping your addiction/quit hidden you will be putting yourself through stress that you don't need. Tell her.
That being said. I am glad you have decided to quit. Shut the door on nicotine for good! Read up on how to post roll here at this link: index.php?showtopic=50
Post your roll and you promise to everyone here that you will not use nicotine for the whole day, all 24 hours. This is serious. All we have is our word. Go post your day 1 in April and stay quit.
Also, check your inbox in the top right corner of this page. I sent you a PM.

You said two things that I have to comment on.
1. 2 1/2 years? You are wise to know you are addicted. It takes many more years for some of us thick headed dumb asses to recongnize that. They more years to actually quit. QUIT THIS SHIT NOW. It won't be easy, but I can assure you, it gets harder to quit the longer you go. NEVER GO BACK.
2. Women appreciate honesty over most everything else. If you love her, tell her. She will appreciate you more for it.
I quit for a year, then started back up because I forgot I was an addict. I was so ashamed, I hid it from my family for a year. When I was "busted" by the wife, what do you suppose she was most angry about? That I was dipping, or that I was doing it behind her back? She kept bringing up how she lost TRUST in me due to my deceit. I've since regained her trust.
TRUST me....
You have made the right decision to quit NOW. GOOD MOVE.
Tell her. It will only strengthen your relationship.
