Day 1 of the rest of my life

[Skoal Monster]

What's up my Quit Brothers and Sisters.

Quick question: I've got a good friend trying to Quit smoking and told her about this site and how much it helps me.
Does anyone know of a good support site for smokers?

Thanks,

brianl-74- Luvin the Quit

This site has helped a lot of smokers. And lady smokers at that. SamCat and TattedQuitter are two BadAss quitters that I know of that are still very active in the forums. I suggest you PM them for some council.

Hello All,

I hit my 30 day mark today and just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this site. I've tried quitting many times in many ways only to fail. I can say with all honesty that this site has made the difference for me staying quit this long, the longest of my dipping life.
I also want to thank my wonderful wife for being so patient with me and encouraging me to find a support group to help me quit.
I'm 40 years old, been dipping since 13. I have 2 little boys, 4 and 2, that are my world. A world that for the first time is Nicotine free.
I hope and pray that my sellfish behavior all these years don't come back to haunt me, and that my wife and kids will have me around for a long time.
I'm a proud member of the December group and look forward to simply making my next day of being Nic free, and trying to help anyone that lets me.

ROCK ON MY QUIT BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!

Brian

According to the Foundation for Blood Research:

"Depending on how high your level is to begin with, your level could drop to that of a nonsmoker in 7 to 10 days."

Their site made no mention of chewing and I am pretty sure guys like us were taking in a motherfucking shitload of nicotine from which our bodies were developing cotinine. Seems like 21 days should be sufficient.

[cdforecheck]

been fighting cotinine addiction for years and still can't stop

hell. i can't buy life insurance at all without it costing me pretty much my salary, but lie like a rug if ya gotta...nicotine should be gone unless it stays in the hair or something

[GlennFtheKodiak]

Brian you do realize right that you still have to lie right?  if they say have you ever used tobacco you say no, or else your rates will be higher.  My friend sells life insurance, i have gotten many policies from him on and off tobacco.  The 25 days is fine, but don't say you used it.

if you can't live with that, prudential is the only insurance carrier i know of that differentiates between smokers and dip.  before i quit i had a "chewers" policy, the rates were still high but not as high as a smoker.

LOL!!!
Oh I will absolutely be lying!! Just don't want to get test results thrown back in my face prooving that I lie.
I'm not going to sweat over it. If they say I'm a nic user I'll tell them to fuck off and find another company.
Unless they pull a Sienfeld on me and put me on the black list!! hahaha

Excellent! Lie, lie, lie.

There is no black list.

Lying is way better than having the kid in the next cubicle peeing in a cup like he used to when i used to have to get exams. the worst was when he got stage fright and then i had to have my boy call up the examinor and rip up the paperwork and re-do the test. What a loser i was.

good job on the 25 days or so!
