Hi everyone. I was excited to find this site today. I need all the help I can get for sure. I chewed for 23 years and quit 6 days ago. It was a rough week but at least I can see straight now. Hoping to be able to function a little more at work this week (desk job.) Thanks.
Welcome. I see you've figured out how to post roll. Excellent! That roll post is your promise to yourself and all the those badasses in November. Those aren't just some random usernames. They're real men struggling to beat back this addiction. And this isn't just any old web forum. This is a family. A brotherhood. Lean on them. Get to know them personally. Build that accountability and burn down those bridges that only lead back to death.
Gabe - If you truly want to be quit for good, you will post roll each day and get involved. Don't just dip a toe in, fully immerse yourself in every corner of this site. The process is proven with many quitters - commit EARLY each day to be quit, keep your promise, and tomorrow is another day. Get to know those in November. Join a text group. Be active, frequent this site in the tough hours. Stick to the plan, te +1s add up. You'll be amazed at what you can do and how powerful you will feel that you have quit the major demon in your life.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Yes, I hate nicotine...it has sucked time, money, life for way too long. I'm definitely an addict. I'm here for one reason - to quit. I've never been much for support group type stuff, talking through my issues, admitting I have problems, etc. But, I appreciate this place already and know you are going to be a part of my life for awhile. Thanks for being here, and for the fellowship.
Congrats on quitting. As far as you having "never been much for support group type stuff, talking through my issues", do think the rest of us have been spending our whole lives laying down on a couch weeping about how mommy didn't love us, and begging for someone to make us feel better?
You don't have the market cornered on macho Gabe. This isn't a support group to quit wearing our wives undies.
The sooner you just get with the program, the sooner it will work. If you resist long enough, you will fail.
Hope you become a quitter...
