So in the middle of day I'm sitting at my desk and I remember I dumped a 1/4 of a tin in my garbage can. I didn't even look at the can and thought "I DON'T WANT IT". I had also forgot we had taken all the garbage out earlier. I keep thinking 1 day at a time. I keep reading different threads and stories on this site that sound exactly like what I was living  hiding. I'm glad I found this site and thanks to the people who have messaged encouragement and direction regarding posting roll (I think I got it now). I can get through the rest of today, bring on tomorrow.
That's the shit, right there! Finish off the day you've promised to remain quit, then post roll and repeat! You need anything, just shout
Hang in there, and reach out if you need to. Keep fighting, your life depends on it.

Good choice. SMART choice.

First, read about posting roll and go do it. That means that you will have promised to not use nicotine of any sort for the rest of the day.

Next, make sure that you have dumped and flushed ALL your cans...including that hidden one of month old crumbs you might try to lick when the craving gets bad. Some might say to do this before postin roll, I say no as I want the promise before you touch another can.

Now, READ READ READ READ READ this site...hall of fame speeches, introductions, roll posts for May, April and pick another older group and read them from day 1 through today - I'm partial to June 2010...

Get numbers of others to help you maintain your quit. Ask for help when you need it and STAY ACTIVE on this site...it will help increase your level of success.
Blah...Blah...Blah...You keep TALKIN....I'll keep QUITTIN

I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to support YOUR quit.
