Post roll first thing if at all possible. That way you promise to completely take nic off the table for the day. Nicotine is looking for the tiniest of cracks in your quit armor. If you leave the door open, nicotine will try to get in there. You can do this, post roll every day as early as possible and you're setup for success.
Roll is the strength of your quit. If you're like most of us were as soon as your feet hot the floor you were craving nic. Now you should be craving roll it's your promise to yourself and all of us! Remember someone's always watching you,we're a family here and we watch after each other. Post as soon as you wake, piss,post it's that simple. Quit on!

Thanks for the words Menace. I have many more reasons that I perhaps should have put in my intro. I wrote a letter to myself that I carry in my wallet that has all of these. As I have quit for 7 months and went back to using nicotine, I realized that I need to be posting roll everyday, and have the support of this community. Thanks for the tips about exercise, wasn't sure how strenuous it had to be.
Welcome brother. We've all been here before where we thought we could go it alone and make it stick. Well there are 24,000 examples on this site of people that couldn't do so until they had the support of a bunch of strangers.

It sounds bizarre, right? Well don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Just accept the support and give it back. The accountability you will build will be a cornerstone in your quit, and prevent it from being another stoppage.

You got this CD, I quit with you today.

No problem - but remember you never really quit before today. That was a stoppage not a quit.
Never thought of it like this. That really made me think.

The reason you're quitting is because you're tired of being a slave and you deserve to call the shots in your life. You're here and posted only thing that can stop you...is you! I quit with you today!

Congratulations on finally quitting. Don't worry about gaining some weight, I've probably gained about 3 or 4 pounds already from overeating and when my mom quit smoking she ate a lot of chocolate and gained a lot of pounds. You can always lose the weight, but the side effects of dip if you don't quit may be with you forever. Sunflower seeds are perfect because they taste great and its the best you're going to get to help with the "putting something in my lip" because it sits in your cheek. I'm waiting sunflower seeds right now as a matter of fact. Just watch out though, when my brother's friend quit a few months back, he had sunflower seeds in his mouth like 24/7 and all the salt in the seeds made his cheek all sore and it was hell for him. Just don't over do it.

Well ill stop rambling and good luck to you brother I'm quitting with ya

No problem - but remember you never really quit before today. That was a stoppage not a quit. Once you quit here at KTC that is the start of your quit. Hell I stopped several times before finding KTC. I used to call that quitting as well but you can only quit once. I also used to think this was a bad habit. Its once I realized that it was an addiction that I quit! Again welcome aboard and I will quit with you today. Remember just one day, one hour or even one minute at a time. Whatever it takes to keep the weed out of your mouth.

Good decision man. At 20 bucks a day, do the math.

But don't do it for the money. Do it for yourself. Do it for the freedom. Do it because it could save your life.

Day 1 sucks. But not as bad as cancer. And everyone here has gone through it. I went through it 199 days ago and I have no regrets.

Go post roll in October and promise you won't use today. Do the same thing tomorrow. Before you know it you'll have a few days behind you and it'll get a little easier each day.

You can do this.

Welcome man. I just joined as well, and am day 4 of my lifelong quit.

I already feel better.

Show your fiancee this website if you think it will help her understand what you're going through, and that it's not about her but about you.

We all quit with you.
