I failed at quitting many times before...usually after aweek or two. I'm at Day 120. The ONLY thing that I've done different is use this site. I owe so much to the guys on this site.

Stay focused, stay quit. You can do this!

You guys are all great! Thanks a lot for the quick support. Posted my first roll call today and it felt amazing. I agree and think the roll call will be one of the most helpful tools. I couldn't wait to post this morning and now waiting to see who else posts.

Great site guys! This place will no doubt be instrumental in my staying quit.

You can most definitely do this. Use this site. The info you get here is great. The vets around here are always willing to give advice. The BEST thing though, the thing that has made ALL the difference with me is the accountability. Post roll each day. Give your word to your brothers and sisters that you WILL NOT USE. Then it becomes this: are you a man of your word? Keep your word each day. Just quit one day at a time. Proud to be quit with you!

Congrats Short! No reason to start saving your own life. Stay focussed, read everything you can on this site, post roll and keep your word. Also, come up with a plan to deal with craves...mine was the "contract" that is floating around on this site...just ask for it and somebody will send it to you. Also, get some numbers in your quit group. You're not in this all by yourself. We're with you. You can do this.

Hey all. Haven't technically had a chew since 13:00 today and it is now 22:09. Officially I'm quitting starting tomorrow morning though. I've been chewing since I was 17 and I'll be 29 this month, so I'm ready to be done! No more $hit in my teeth, looking for a place to spit, or drowning on my own spit waiting for someone to stop talking to me.. Haha. Gotta admit I'll kind of miss it. Ha!

I do have a question for anyone that could answer though. How or where can I post my roll call starting tomorrow morning?? Pretty excited about that! I was looking in the quit group area but I'm not sure i'm really following on what you do. Can I just post in any of the threads? Do you copy the whole list and add your name at the bottom?

Thanks ahead of time for the help!
if you are quit now then stay quit right now and post day 1 right now.
You will be in the April quit group.

Welcome, you are doing a great thing for yourself. Posting roll means that you are committing to not use Nicotine in any form. Post roll and keep your word.
