Thanks Dave!! I have been lurking for a while now planning my quit. I wish I would have posted sooner.Â
Do you guys feel the herbal chew stuff is safe? It really does make it easier knowing I can put something in there that at least feels similar to the real stuff.
It is safer then the real thing there isn't any nic or harmful chemicals in it like cope or skoal would have in it. It will help to sat that feeling of where your dip should be until you get all of your cravings under control. I used tea bags once and they seemed to kill the tissue where they where in my mouth so I stopped using them. This time I have used about four packs of doublemint gum everyday and am finally starting to slow down a little on it.
Everything will get better a little at a time just hang in there and if you need anything just pm me and welcome to the group.
I used fake pretty heavily early in my quit. You will naturally stop doing it. There is nothing in it to keep you addicted so over time you will just migrate away from it. I chewed plenty of seeds, gum, candy, toothpicks, straws, etc.
The point is keep tobacco and Nicotine out of your body. Other than that it is pretty much do whatever it takes. It will get better.
Post roll every day like it is your job. Read everything you can on the site, get involved and stay quit.
