Quitting Again

[Jeff W]

Well, thirty seconds after writing I found the answer to the question on gum. Cold Turkey it is. I'm killing the current can and going for it. Here we go.

You said it Cold Turkey is the only way to go. I tried quitting every which way imaginable this is the only way to go. Dump the can right now don't finish it! Spit the cancer dirt out right now flush the rest and post Day 1 in June 17 group! Freedom is at your fingertips. Tell the nic bitch to fuck off! We got your back

Mike, Congrats on quit! Welcome to KTC.

a couple things to do: drink lots of water-- forced hydration helps; exercise through the craves, sweat the nicotine out of your system; read all the info here on the site... intros, hall of fame speeches, words of wisdom; rage at us not at home or work, we've been there and understand; go join the June2017 quit group and post roll; get to know other quitters and build up a support network.

I know better, but I still dip. I hate it, but I love it. Every night before I go to sleep my jaw aches. I promise myself tomorrow is the day. I wake up, and in autopilot reach for the can.

I stopped dipping for 2 years, but chewed nicotene gum like a mad man. Expensive, and tough on the jaw. But, I thought anything was better than putting a chew back in my mouth. About 6 months ago, I stopped and bought a can. It was after an argument with my wife about the cost of gum. I thought I'd chew for a few days...to quit the gum and reset, and then quit for good. I know...I'm a genius.

It just gets its hooks into me and owns me.

I want to break free of this habit. It is such a struggle. I want to quit for me, my daughters, my wife. Is there a good way to quit with gum? Or, is it just cold turkey, deal with it, and push through.. I don't know if I have will power. What is a good quit plan? Any help is appreciated. I'd like to do this.
