I have been chewing for over 20years.
I have quit chewing tobacco.. again. The last time I quit I was still addicted to the nicotine. (I chewed the gum instead.) This time, I have limited myself to 3 pieces of the 2mg gum per day for a week. Then I will go to none. It is an attempt to reduce the symptoms. I am not sure I picked the best time for this. i am newly separated from my wife but I say bring on the crucible of FIRE. I am ready lol. (Note: this quit is for ME.) It is day 2 of my quit and I must say If the 3 pieces of gum are helping at all I don't see it lol. I am jittery and 'fogged'. I have lurked on the site and must say the stories and posts here did help me decide to quit. I am going to take my life by the Balls lol.
There ya go. My intro :)

Welcome, but you must be informed, this is a No Nicotine site. We quit cold turkey. You are certainly welcome to join us, but not while you are using nicotine in any form.
That being said, it really is only hell on earth the first three days, then it sucks for a couple weeks, then it isn't so bad anymore.
Read everything you can about it and go post day one with the July quit group once you've thrown out the gum and all other forms of nicotine.

Couple of things:
You never "quit" last time. You just stopped, if you in fact ever dropped the gum.
Here at KTC we don't consider you quit until you quit using nicotine. We are a 100% nicotine free site. You are just prolonging the withdrawal effects and making yourself miserable for a longer period of time by not flushing the nic gum.
My recommendation:
Flush the gum, patches, and anal suppositories and get this quit started for real. We quit one day at a time by pledging our quit to our brothers here at KTC. I suggest you join us immediately.
-
A few things...spit the gum out and throw the rest away. You wouldn't use cocaine to quit crack would you? Trust me the gum does nothing but keep you addicted to nicotine and it won't help your symptoms. Other than that you have come to the right spot. We post a promise to our brothers that we won't use any nicotine today. And then we wake up and do the same thing tomorrow and then rinse and repeat. In other words we quit one day at a time. And we'll bust your balls and we're all a bunch of assholes but we'll keep you quit if you drink the kool aid!
-
Just to add what's already been said, the gum will not help and will actually prevent you from being quit. Throw the gum out and then come back and read the Welcome Center. You have not quit, yet.

It takes 72-96 hours or about 4 days for Nicotine to leave your system after you halt the use of nicotine. That number made no sense to me last July, but it does now. I remember every waking moment of freeing myself from the chains of nicotine and tobacco.
Now I sit here not only with words but with an absolute distain for big tobacco and frankly for the FDA for allowing a weed like this shit that has killed so many be legal.
I look at wedding photos, fun time photos with my kids or other family members and shake my head because the moron I was has a wad of shit in his mouth in each of them.
It isn't easy to quit on the extreme side but it sure as fuck worked for me. In lieu of dipping your toe in the water jump on in and nut up. You have some damn fine quitters replying to your original message which means you have a network of people chomping at the bit to help you. Come on in the water's fine.
-
Do or Do Not...There is no try.
Flush it, find a mirror and talk to the nic addict, get real, get honest, get quit with the KTC men of their word!!!
post roll
keep your word
wake and repeat
Whadya waitin' for?
Let's do this!

you going to reply to anything at all? bring it noob...

I have limited myself to 3 pieces of the 2mg gum per day for a week.
You say this ^^^^^ like you've accomplished something. Reality is you've accomplished nothing!
I will go to none.
This ^^^^ is when you accomplish something. I'm with jayd,,, bring it noob!
Dig deep and lets do this once and for all. No more 1mg, 2mg, 3 mg bullsh@t. You want to quit like your intro introduces,, lets see it. Replace the gum with dignity. Replace nicotine with integrity. Take a good look at that mirror like 30isenuff stated. It's all up to you.
Your move!!!

A month ago I was scared, so I used the patch, and was not allowed to post roll or on the boards. The KTC members called me scared, and I resented them.
Now I am 6 days quit after wasting a month still being addicted to the NIC bitch and scratching the crap out of my arms and freaking out if a patch fell off. Just spit the gum out, face the crap of the first 3-4 days, and then feel the joy of the quit.

Ok then. Fair enough. F*** the gum as well. I said I would grab my life by the balls and I mean to do just that. Thanks all for the input. Game on.

Seen the roll post today. Nice! Begin reading everything you can on nicotine/addiction if your able. Learn you're enemy, it knows you! Lot of information offered on this site. Take a look around. It will change you're outlook. Begin building your arsenal with knowledge and accountability. You want your life back, start with these two things.
You can do this, make no mistake. 1000's have used the accountability and information this site offers with great success, no reason you can't do the same. Need some digits let me know.

Thanks All. I appreciate the support. I know I can do this!! day one and I am alive. :)

123, tossing the gum was a pretty badass quit move and it brings you to day 1. That's a big accomplishment in and of itself. You are alive right now, yes, but prepare to embrace the suck. It's going to take 72 hours to get that nicotine out of your system and every hour you keep nicotine out of your system, you are winning the battle and moving further and further away from ground zero. Promise yourself, that you won't go back to ground zero. Post roll and make that same promise to us. For the first time you won't have just yourself to disappoint, now you are accountable to many. We may come across as a bunch of hardasses, but we all share a common goal. We want you to quit nicotine. End of story. Let's do this.
-
Thanks Bomb!!. I tell you that damn gum was the worst Idea ever. I am very glad I posted here and stopped that shit. I was already feeling cravings and withdrawl symptoms. I had them for 2 days just from the reductions and they were a waste. Just prolonged the experience. Not feeling different today cold turkey. But, this time I know.... 72 hours. 1 minute at a time is where I am at atm. I made a promise in the roll today. I plan on keeping it. Currently I feel like if I was dropped in a room full of tigers with a loin cloth and a plastic spoon I would be the only one walking out alive lol.

Love the "fuck it I quit" attitude. You got my support every damn day...quit strong live long!

Quitter, I originally posted this in VBE's intro but I think you will get something out of it so I'm copying it here to your intro. It is meant as a motivator to get you through the tough times and also to reinvent the reasons to quit.
Hey bro, let's be calm and rational for 35 seconds. You are thinking that just one pinch can solve your problems. Your gums will not hurt, your tongue won't feel like a filing rod, and your mind will return to normal. That is the Nic Bitch telling you all of that. That is how "they" keep you coming back for more. That is how they line their wallets, with your addiction and ultimately your death. See, this is nothing more than the best money scam going. Just imagine if you could have a 10 million dollar mansion and have someone else pay for it. Well, "they" figured out how to do that. Provide a product that "addicted you" to it and paid off lawmakers to keep it legal. Tax the shit out of it and everybody wins. Except for the addict, you can die. There will be plenty more behind you, you're not special. So, every time you step into that store and throw a five on the counter, just remember you are agreeing to be taxed, proliferated and murdered, all with your money and your blessing. You "OK" this when you lay down your cash.
I want you to suppose for a minute that I walk up to you. Look you in the eye and tell you I'm going to kill you, slowly. I'm going to make you spend thousands of dollars in doctor and hospital bills, I'm going to orphan your kids, make your spouse go at life alone or find another mate. I'm going to take your families money and feed my family with it, also, junior wants a convertible to drive to Harvard. I need some new addicts to pay for that car and his education, you top the list. I need your money addict.
How would you feel about me? Would you do business with me? Would you buy my product? Would you want to kill me? Would you at least stand up for yourself and your family?
Well, I say Fuck Them, you're not taking my money, much less my life without getting the fight of your life. In fact I would rather die on my own accord than let you kill me. It's me or you motherfucker, and I'm not going to lose. All I have to do is Not Dip and you lose. That's it. You are not getting another penny from me you son of a bitch. Not a fucking penny. You will not make me withdraw, you will not make me crave, you will never make me kneel at your alter ever again. I'm in control, not you. I'm pissed, and I'm armed with quit. Fuck you and heed warning I'm out to do to you what you threatened to do to my children. Your on notice tobacco CEO. I'm fucking quit and I will never again let you treat me like a whore.
That might have taken more than 35 seconds, sorry. Hope you get where I'm coming from.

Read ^^^ again. Screw the poison!
It sucks, but it's worth it. You want your freedom? It's going to cost you.
Water, water, water and exercise. Find something to do. Start a project, just make sure it doesn't take much brain work to accomplish. 1000's have done it and you are no different.
It's worth it. My worst day without the poison is better than my best day with it. Just today bro! That's all you have to worry about.

I fucking second that
Fuck nicotine is right man. Get angry. Just like so many other new quitters I posted some bullshit early on about "missing my dear friend Kodiak". Then someone opened my eyes to the realization that "my friend" was trying to kill me...and I got really fucking mad.
You got this dude. Get angry. Post your promise every day.

On Day 5 now. The first 3 days were a huge SUCK. On day 3 my wife mentions we should get the big D. I was devastated. My friends wondered if I could deal with quitting chew and going through this. This was a BIG moment in my quit. This is where the nicotine addict whispered, pleaded, hollered, and begged me to cave. 'It is ok, nobody could go through all this. Just give in and have a dip. You can quit later when things are better.' Well, I looked and re-looked at July's Roll. There I was, Quitter123. I made a promise. I then read all the support and advice in this thread and on this site. Then I realized that I HATE NICOTINE. The addict in me can FUCK OFF. Here I am going through a rough spot and this fucking shit wants to talk me into killing myself. A gun may be faster but Nicotine gets you to the same place in the end. So, on day 5 I have told the addict in me and nic to FUCK OFF. This site got me through. Still a fight but i quit ODAAT. I am quit.

That's a hell of a thing to be hit with 3 days into quitting. Props for having the intelligence to know that dip would not make anything better and the strength for following through with that knowledge! Quit with you big time today!
