Just wanted to introduce myself. Started dipping 33 years ago and got fed up on 3-21 at 2:40 in the afternoon and decided enough was enough. Have been using some nicorette gum and sunflower seeds. Was just scanning the web and ran across this site. I can use all the help I can get.

Welcome Rocktop. First, in order to stay here and use the site you have to be completely nicotine free. No gum, patches, anything. 100% cold turkey...
The day you are completely nicotine free is your day 1, and you can start the journey with us...

Glad you decided to be quit. If day one for you was the 21st, you would be in the June quit group. Below is a link to our page. I would get in there as soon as possible and post roll. Roll call is done daily to show you are dedicated to the quit.

My bad. Didn't see you were still using the gum. Get off that stuff and let us be the thing that gets you through.

Pills, patches, and gum are for pussies. Quitters are bad-asses. Flush all nicotine crap and join us for real.
Nobody and nothing can quit for you. There are no short-cuts. You have to decide for yourself, commit to quitting, and embrace the suck!!!
You can do this. You have the ability. After you take the first step and get nic free, we're here to help with the rest. But YOU have to make the first move. Until then, we can't help you.
Come back when you're a bad-ass, pussy.

Fuck all that NRT. No patches, no gum, nothing......
I used to be like you. I looked for a crutch to make me feel like I was making progress. Mine was patches. Came on here read up on what was required to be a quitter here and thought to myself, "I'll be back one day once I finish the patch rotation."
Then on the last day of my second week on patches I took the old one off and forgot to put the new one on. I got to work and thought "oh shit I forgot to put a new patch on." I called the wife and said "bring me my patch up to work" It took her about 3 hours to get to me with it.
She handed it to me and I thought to myself "shit man I've been cold turkey now for a few hours, why don't I just see how long I can hold out." I put the patch in my shirt pocket and kept it there for three straight days. All of this happened a little over two weeks ago, and I haven't had any nicotine since that fateful day on the 10th of March. That last patch is now pinned up on a cork board here in my office with the word QUIT written on it.
Trust me three days is tough but you can make it. Sack up and just do it. The support you get here is amazing.

Stop Nic all together. Get some fake dip for the sensation. You can do it.

Gotta get throught the weekend golf without going back. I may have to use some gum to get through that this weekend. Not had any gum since around 9:00 this morning. This is the longest I have gone without Nic in over 15 years. I feel like my heart is about to come through my chest and have sweat beads on top my head. This is hell. Thanks for the support and I will be back Monday.

BULLSHIT, you're already giving yourself an out. There is always going to be a reason to cave.
Golf outing
Bachelor Party
Sweet Sixteen tourney
Stress at work
Fuck all that shit. Man up, come correct, and quit once and for all.
Don't be a quit tease.

You have to be fucking kidding me. This dude has no want to in him.
I sure hope that the nicotine you will be ingesting out on that golf course is not the nicotine that leads to cancer.
There will always be another golf game or fishing trip, or humting trip that you just can't get through.
Grow some balls man.
I am so sick of this bullshit

What the hell is this?
You need gum to make it through? No you don't, throw the shit away and start quitting NOW!
I have seen several cavers in the first few days use this excuse... I just couldn't make the through "insert event/day here" without it. Using Nicotine replacement is no different than using the real thing. You are just making everything worse for your self. I know this from my experience. I had some gum left sitting around when I dropped the can and used a couple pieces of nic gum.
I committed a sin by posting roll while still using gum but didn't really know the rules of the site at the time. So I tossed the shit and posted day one the next day... best decision I have made in a long time. Quit now... throw it away. Grab your sack and get through the weekend without nicotine.

Nicotine dulls the pain of the damage it inflicts. You had no idea how much damage you were doing to yourself, until now.
If you use the poison that makes you sick just to make you feel better, you are trading your health for a delusion. Your body is trying to get healthy. Stop beating it down.
Get rest. Drink enough water. Commit to the quit. Just do it.

I am on day 2, totally nic free. No gum, patches, just a bunch of damn seeds. I need to thank a couple of you for pissing me off. Guess that's what I needed to take the last step. I will never put that shit in my mouth again.
