I was tapering down my intake for the last couple days. I could not tell if I was hyped up from the tapering or if I just had to much in my system from before?

Anyway, I wake up 3 or 4 AM, when I wake up I feel totally hyped up. Is this common with you guys?

I came off a big job not long ago and feel like I was burning most of the nicotine up and could sleep. I have been working but not like before and notice a difference in my sleep or lack thereof.

Day one guy here.

I lived on a ranch between Santa Fe and Albuquerque N.M. Middle of no where.  30 miles to Santa Fe, 30 miles to Albq.  Many was the time that I either forgot I was out or ran out.  Point here? I would drive right now, no problem to get some Cope.  That was in 1986.  Pretty sad huh?  Our families, our kids deserve better.
I understand why we need to do this for ourselves, the benifits wont stop there.
I just joined today and hate being a newbie at anything!!!!  Good way to keep busy here for the next couple days.  Bill Baikie is the name and I live in Mancos, Colorado and yes, I am a junkie who has had enough.  Please be patient with my lack of not knowing squat about this kind of web experiance!  God rocks and He is right here, free will has its price!

Coulda,

I'm going to break this down as easy as I can for someone who isn't as computer literate as the rest of us.

First and foremost, glad you are here. If you want to take your life back and not be a slave to the can anymore you have come to the right place.

On this site, everyday you will do what is called "posting roll". This is your daily promise to yourself, me, and everyone else that you will not use any nicotine at all. Do it EVERYDAY, without fail. I think you are a man of your word, so by putting that promise out there first thing every morning, you are taking buying a can off the table or bumming a pinch off of someone else. This is a zero nicotine site. No patches or gum.

Here are some links to help you get started. Click on each of the highlighted words, read everything you can, then come back here and continue on to the next step.

First, read the Welcome Center. This will tell you how and why the site works. Click on each of the items in there and read carefully.

Next, click here and learn how to post roll. This is a short video that shows you exactly how to post roll. You might need to watch it a few times.

Lastly, this will be your quit group. It is October 2012. October is when you would hit 100 days quit and therefore enter the Hall of Fame. Post roll in there. Ask questions. Tell everyone how you feel.


I urge you beyond the three things I mentioned above to read as much as you can. There is a wealth of information that can help you along your path. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are willing to help you stay quit. Utilize their knowledge, both about how to use the website and how to stay quit.


My name is Mark and I am quit with you today.
Coulda- I got ya beat on several points of stupid! I live 70 miles from the closest place I'd buy dip ( there is a closer town but I was ninja and knew everyone at closer places). I drove that distance dozens of times for nothing but cope. I've been at this disgusting addiction for 38 + yrs.
Get used to being a newbie I am too and it's great, I'm 93-0 that's right 93 days of quit 0 days of cave! I don't know when we cease being newbie, it doesn't matter I see us as equals, all of us! Some just have more days of quit. Check your inbox I'll give you my # I believe in your quit!

Welcome aboard and just spend as much time as you can on the site. Learn how to do roll call, there is a walk through if you need it. Find members of your quit group and reach out to them as well. Read and absorb my friend, read and absorb, we are all here if you need anything.
