Brad what's not to like? You are like most of us here. Welcome aboard. I see you have already posted roll so you are ahead of the game already. In order to make this quit your last... post roll every morning. When you do you are promising to be quit for one day. Stay quitall day then go to bed, and then wake up and make another promise. If you do that and keep your word, this will be your last quit. So the real question for you Brad is if you are sick of hiding and lying, are you ready to man up and be the opposite...a man of your word?

Dag...that is why I am here, to man up and be a man of my word AND actions. From the things I have learned in life, the two that I am keeping in front of me right now : I am stubborn enough to do anything I set out to / Quitting is not something you try, you are either in or out.

First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Brad and I am a 21 year addict of nicotine. Ninja when I started at 15 until I left home and went to college and then ninja again once I got married almost 10 years ago. For most of that time, was using a can a day of Cope. Now have two kids, 3 yr old girl and 5 yr old boy. Absolutely worn out from the energy it takes to hide something that I am seriously ashamed of. Absolutely scared of what this could put my wife and kids (me also) through if it gets my health.

Over the last few months and weeks, all of this has been weighing more and more on me and I decided to do something about it. From everything I have read, laid out my plan, cut back over the last four weeks and marked by calendar. So, on Tuesday, August 5th I woke up and started a new life, a life of freedom from nicotine. While I know the road ahead will not be an easy or smooth one, it is one that I must and will travel. I am exited, scared, nervous, you name it and I feel like I have felt it.

Well, that is my intro. Like it or not, like me or not, get used to it as I am here to stay.

Welcome Brad.

You are correct: "the road ahead will not be an easy or smooth one"

But you are also correct: "it is one that I must and will travel"

And you can. This group will help you more than you may realize now. Don't try to quit alone. Get connected with your quit group. Post here often. Vent often.

The road to victory will be won as you share the road.

Proud to be quitting with you.

Excellent. Glad you're quit. If you post every day and honor your word, you will join an army of quitters that are here to support you when the going gets tough.

Welcome aboard and let me know if you need anything.
