Just joined the CAN last night!!! still trying to figure out the site but glad to be here. I quit 9 days ago 3/13. Been on skoal wintergreen, cop skoal peach sense I was 14 that's 40 years ago I'm sorry to say but enough is enough. I bought Hooch peach and it seems to be getting the job done for me so far. Wish me some luck!!!
Welcome! This site can be a little tricky at first, but you'll figure it out if you play around a little. I think they make it purposefully tricky because it forces you to spend some time figuring it out.
First things first, there is no luck. There is hard work, commitment, accountability and success. I am 325 days quit and the only role luck played was that I was lucky to find this site. I'm quit because every single day, generally before even getting out of bed, I posted a promise on this site that I would not use nicotine for that day. I kept that promise and will make the same one tomorrow.
Anyone can do it, but when you sign up for that, you are now accountable to your group. Your quit group is full of people fighting the same fight. You can't let those people down. I'll just about guarantee that on any given day, someone in that group is facing something more difficult than you are, so if they can stay quit, you have no excuse to cave.
Be prepared for a battle. 9 days is a hell of an accomplishment. You should be very proud of those days, but it doesn't end there. You will find never ending support from the brotherhood here. You will also find that people will drag your ass through the fire should that be required. That accountability is the rug that ties the room together.
So go find your quit group (yours should be June), post your name and day count and get to know your brothers. I won't wish you good luck, but I will hope for your success.
