Today is the day

[ZACKBRO71]

I'm ALL in. Let's quit. I've been chewing for 20+ years and have been asked by wife thousands of times to stop. I hate that I'm addicted and just want to STOP. I'm done. I'm here for help and TO help along the way. My two boys (3 and 10 months) are my life and I just want to be around a long time for them. Thanks for having me. :blink:

Ok. I get it. Gum's gone! I can do this. You guys are right. No half steps!

Baaaammm... Let's go to work.
Don't show us nothing.... Show us everything you got! Burn the boat and don't look back.

poof

Good man, get your quit on! I'm quit with you today.

I was wondering is it the nicotine that burns your lip? because I bought fake chew without nicotine and it did not burn whatsoever. IÂ’m using triumph fake chew with nicotine and it burns real good.

Was that a typo, or are you really using fake chew that has nicotine?

Here goes nothing? Fuck that - here goes everything! That's what we're playing for here, Mack. Our very lives are at stake, my friend, and you'd better get your head around that right now. Get rid of that gum, man - it is full of the very poison that you are addicted to and to which you are a slave. We're a brotherhood here in this community, Mack - we all rely on each other to get through our quits every damned day, and none of us are the least bit interested in placing our lives in the hands of people that 'hope' that 'maybe' they can quit and help us to stay quit. You're either with us here 100%, Mack, or GTFO. I will quit with you, man, but you have to be quit. What's it going to be?

Shoot me a PM if you want to trade numbers for support.

Well, here goes nothing. Time to try again for what feels like the 1000th time. Thought if I joined a community it would help and hopefully you guys can help me stay on track and maybe I can return the favor.

Been dipping since college, about 10 years now? Little girl is on the way and I don't want her to be embarrassed of me.

Picked up some nicotine gum and signed up! Steps one and two down. Time for the hardest step. Quitting.

EDIT: Man, I should have picked a better title, someone just used the same one!

As a 15 year Red Man addict who switched to nicotine gum and got seriously addicted for another decade, let me tell you it is better to get clean now.

I tried Nicorette because a friend said it "takes the pain of quitting away". No, it didn't. Quitting chew sucked donkey's balls for a very long time and I thought I was going to off myself several occasions. But I had no choice - wedding, child on the way - and Nicorette had these tidy little charts and diagrams on how to slowly wean yourself off the gum, which worked until it didn't. Eventually I'm doing 20 pieces a day and feeling like it's not enough. I felt like a giant pussy and a jackass, still addicted and chewing gum non-stop like an 80's pornstar. Now I'm going through all kinds of hell quitting again.

Turns out though, I shouldn't have felt so bad about myself. Only 1% of Nicorette users are successful quitters for at least 12 months. One percent!!!

Do it right the first time.

Welcome and we are glad you came here. Step one flush the gum! You are going to make your quit 1000x harder, you are going to continue to go through withdrawal as long as you are still putting nicotine in your body. We do not try, we do not hope, we do not maybe, We quit 110%. You want to keep your little girl that's on the way from being embarrassed? How about having her hold your hand through chemo? or maybe you want to spare her the embarrassment of putting flowers on your grave? These are real things, nicotine is a poison, and its lies are telling you that you cant quit all at once, the nic bitch told me all the same shit, as she has every person in this community. You want to man up for your baby girl? Get serious about it, not tomorrow, not later, but right. fucking. now.
