Thanks everyone, and you're right. Day 1 halfway finished, made it passed lunch (a huge trigger)!

Drinking plenty of water, and coffee's helping me not feel so much like a zombie. Reading through this site for y'all's tips is helping a lot too.
Congrats!

Careful with caffeine... it can be a killer early in your quit: http://www.killthecan.org/robs/cafnic.asp

Coffee is a MAJOR trigger for me, but do what you got to do for you and your quit. For whatever reason, I don't like chewing when I'm tipping back a few cold ones...that's a blessing.

Anyway, kick some ass minute by minute
jjms, that was a blessing for me too that alcohol was not a trigger. It got me through the first 30 days....be VERY careful. Being drunk will lower your guard and even though alcohol was not a trigger, a hangover was a HUGE trigger for me.
Mike is correct. Be very careful with alcohol early on. Hangovers still feel wierd to me so my alcohol intake is much less than it used to be which is not a terrible thing.

Good choice !! Welcome !!

Hey everyone,

I've finally decided to for-real quit. I've gone days (weeks, in fact) after deciding to "quit." Then queue the predictable rationalizing that one more can won't hurt... enough of that.

It's not fair for me to call this "Day 1" either, since my last dip was less than an hour ago and the nicotine is still in my body. I just dumped my last, almost full can of Copenhagen in the toilet and I can't tell you how relieved (and admittedly anxious/worried) I feel. But enough's enough.

The hard-ass approach of the posters on this forum turned me off initially, but if I'm being completely honest with myself, I need it. Looking forward to day one free of tobacco tomorrow.
Be Strong Today...I Quit with you Today!!
shit i'll quit with you all today too
What the hell...I'm not doing anything else today either. I think I'll join you long-dicked quitting mofos!!
Not really sure about the long part 'help' I'll just stick to the group that is Quit today, and wishing they could be a part of the long dicked mofos! :unsure:
I'll jump on the long part...read the signature....Hell, I'll jump on the quit part too!
I'll quit with you!
I'm quitting with you today also. But why not really man the fuck up and post your day 1 right now.

As long as you have flushed the can, put up your promise that you will not take another dip today and get on the fucking road to health, success and happiness like all of us happy and joyful motherfuckers.

Go on over to September, post your promise and ask if they'll have you.......it will help get you through the day bro.

You've made a great decision now let's the quittin' on.
What the fuck, me too, it's a good thing to be quit on a Friday.

You decided to quit today, so today is day one. Read this.

Then go post roll in September, and promise us all that you will not dip for the rest of the day.

Welcome.
