This is the greatest introduction I have ever read.

Not only have you identified that getting rid of your stuff was a great idea, you also realized as to what lengths you will go to to feed it (picking it out of the trash).

You and I are addicts.  So are the other members of this site.

On this site, we post roll in the morning and say we will not use nicotine in any form all day.  Fuck tomorrow.  Then all we have to do is stay quit.  When we wake up tomorrow, we repeat the whole process.

Take a look up at the top of this screen to the black banner.  There is a pink "WELCOME CENTER" on the left side of the screen.  It explains what we do and how we stay quit here.

The flu-like symptoms you are feeling is what we refer to as the "fog".  It's your body's way of throwing a temper tantrum when it doesn't get its drug.  Fortunately, you can control your actions.

When you are ready, go post day 1 over here..

Get some numbers.  Give yours.  We'll hold you accountable.  You just need to stay quit.
hartpump - go get 'em!!! you got this. dump it. move on. don't look back.

In the end I Surrender, I and I alone accept that I have and always will have a Nicotene ADDICTION. It is my choice to quit, but I can't do it alone. I get to go down this path one time, I want to do it right. I recognize that my word, my integrety to you is on the line and is only as good as my actions. Caving is not an option in this plan-Eafman 7/11

I am not cured. I will quit one day at a time. I will continue to do what works. Posting roll everyday. To do otherwise would be foolish on my part. You can do this-Ready 12/11

To overcome your addiction you must comprehend what it means to fail-Razd 3/12

Theres a lot of people that come here, especially vets, that WANT to be reminded that they are addicts.-Tarpon 6/12

Just as a building starts with architectural drawings. Your daily quit begins with a promise.-Scowick 2/13

Here and now, focused on today, minute by minute, whatever it takes, I promise to all my bros and myself not to become a negative stat and stay quit!-krok 1/15

I want everyone to be quit. Even the assholes.-Probe1957 1/18

Ignoring history or erasing history fixes nothing and leads you inevitably down the same path.-69franx 04/30/2021

First off, congrats on quitting and saving your life. Here are a few links that can help you with your roll posting questions.

This is why we post roll

This is how we post roll

This is the super secret video on how to post roll

Embrace the suck. Exchange some phone numbers with your buddies in April. Reach out if you have any questions or need anything.
