Great choice Delta. Here we post roll everyday which is a promise remain quit for the day. One of the sayings is "one day at a time." This is how you need to look at it as you move beyond the first week. Stay close to this site and read, read, read. Also check out the welcome center tab at the top of the page.
The first week sucked for me, but the following weeks were just as tough. Use the tools here so that you are prepared when any major triggers or craves hit you. Write down why you want to quit. This helps put things into perspective during the beginning of your quit. Print out, read the "contract to give up" and keep it with you.
My first few days on this site KCBronco suggested that I try dill pickle sunflower seeds and strawberry gum. I ended up getting some of both and the seeds were pretty nasty tasting. It worked cause I didn't cave. Try anything and see what works - toothpicks, hard candy, gum, fake chew, beef jerky - Just don't cave and let the nicotine continue to own you.
Suck it up, own your quit, and post roll. I'm on day 78 and I couldn't have done it without the tools at KTC.
