Ok, just woke up, feeling pretty crappy. The nicotine gum has been trashed. Unwrapped the cellophane wrapper on the packaging and that is as far as I got. On my 2nd pack of Stride gum and a couple packs of shredded jerky snuff. What is this January group thing and what doe y'all mean by post roll? Still new to this site.
Click on the Welcome Center link on the top left corner. It will tell you how and why we post roll.

PM me if you have any questions.
Go to Welcome Center, Read exactly How to Post Roll. Then Post your day one in January. Get it going. It's easy.
Congrats on getting rid of the gum. You can move on with your life now.

Aside from the technicalities of actually posting roll, there is one thing that should stand out to you. It's not just you name on a list. It's a PROMISE. By signing that list, we each give our word to be nicotine-free for today. I can keep my word for 24 hours with 100% certainty. We'll deal with tomorrow when it gets here.

Take a nap? You still got a couple issues to handle before you are quit! Two particular things, in fact:

1. It seems that you haven't posted a promise in the January group yet. That = not quit.
2. You haven't acknowledge that nic gum is not allowed here. That also = not quit.

The fellows below have stated it clearly enough. Come on, man... ditch the nicotine and let's do this. You got plenty of support. You've made up your mind. You know you have to do this.

This is far simpler than tip  ring, but it damn sure ain't easy. We are here to support you, but the ball's in your court.
Waiting for that post. 'Popcorn'
Get in here and post roll. It will be the best decision you've made in 15 yrs.

Great. Congratulations.

Did you read that nicotine gum is off the table in this quit?
If you are really ready then this is the place for you. Find your quit group and post your word.

The other quitters are right, the only way to quit nicotine is to quit. You can't patch, pill, gum, candy, suppository your way off of nicotine. Anything with nicotine in it continues to feed your addiction.

Toss all that shit, if you have any. Post your day 1 and lets get you quit.

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

Hello, it's tomorrow...wait, tomorrow is tomorrow. So are you still quitting tomorrow?
Bunch of bad ass quitters waiting for you here.
Always quit today, tomorrow never comes.
sure is a lot easier to plan to quit tomorrow than actually quit today.

pman, step up to the plate and make this happen. or your tomorrow will keep rolling on forever.

oh and another thing....no nic gum. just a quick news flash for you:

YOU ARE ADDICTED TO NICOTINE.

if you are really fed up with your current way of life, well then toss all the nic and start doing things to make a positive change.
Quit: 3/23/10

Phone Man....

I used for 30+ years, I am also a field tech for a major telecom company, and I quit all forms of nicotine 254 days ago, cold turkey. If I can do this- so can you. The program is simple:

1. Post Roll each day first thing, this is your promise to all of us that you will not use nicotine, just for today.

2. Honor that promise

3. Repeat


These first 3 days are going to be intense as nicotine leaves your body...remember them and know that you never have to repeat them again.

PM me if you need anything

I couldn't agree more with wo1miles. The whole point is to break the addiction to NICOTINE. I still think you should have quit tonight, but I am glad you are taking this step to be quit. I will be proud to be quit with you. But we take quitting pretty seriously around here. By posting roll, you are giving your word that you will not use NICOTINE in any form for the whole day.

Post Roll.
Keep your word.
Wake up the next day and do it all over again.
Simple as that.

Now, flush the rest of that shit down the toilet and get rid of that bullshit gum.

You are so much stronger than Nicotine.

Skrrrr...hold up there. Gum: Check...Breath Mints: Check...Nicotine Gum: HELL NO! In order to be quit you need to not have ANY nicotine flowing into your veins. By using a nicotine replacement you are merely changing your nicotine delivery method, not ridding your body of a terrible addiction.

I quit dipping in January, 2008...but I just replaced it with the lozenge for 3 years until I realized that I wasn't really getting anywhere with my addiction.

You want to quit? Rid yourself of all nicotine and begin the healing process that will leave you free from the shackles of nicotine addiction.

NO NICOTINE EVER AGAIN.
Your mind is a lying, cheating, stealing whore. Your body is a saint. Now, who are YOU going to listen to?
