And then visit your group in September 2013. Introduce yourself, and let them know your circumstances.

Glad you're quit now. How'd you find us, and why after a year?
I'm with Waste.

What can we do for you?

I've got one question about the ween. How the heck did you cut a pouch in half? You ever had one bust open in your mouth? I am genuinely interested in how you did that.

I weaned for 30 days with a patch before I quit. All I got for weaning was going through the SUCK twice. Glad it worked for you and are nic free, but the KTC is about cold turkey.
Some of my fondest and clearest memories are peeing in places that aren't bathrooms.

Weaning is a logical approach. But, the nic bitch is not logical. I've tried weaning before, and it resulted in longer withdrawls and increased anxiety. I had set up a schedule: every two weeks take it down 1 dip a day, that's all...go from 5 dips a day to 4 dips a day - you wouldn't believe the anxiety that caused. All along with the nic bitch in your ear.

btw - this method usually lasted about 3 days for me in the past

Cold turkey is the most effective way - No nic means no nic. plain and simple

Damn right I've been without nicotine or tobacco for over a year. Guess I should have posted this in the "planning to quit" page.
Are you trying to advertise the gator seed or whatever?
Nope, you're in the right spot. This is where you introduce yourself. Tell us a little about your life and why you quit nicotine.

Happy to have you posting roll with us, but we quit cold turkey here. I commend you on quitting regardless of your method, but if you are planning to hang around the forums or the chat room and suggest to a new quitter that "weaning" is a valid option, then you are not welcome. We are nicotine addicts, and firmly believe that it should not be input into our bodies under any circumstances.
Gotta agree with KO on this one. Weening is for Lite. KTC is an extreme Cold Turkey quit site. If you cannot support that then you may have joined the wrong group. Still glad for you that you are quit but cold turkey is how KTC rolls.

And thanks Raider, I never thought I would or could quit, but those health scares and wanting to be around for two kids are what made me do it.

Nice guys, rule out weaning when it could help somebody. Yes wastepanel, I did wean and to me it was much better that way. I don't use any tobacco anymore. BTW Grady and Slinger, I would rather wean for 6 months or a year and quit than keep dipping cause I couldn't do cold turkey. The weaning process let's the nicotine receptors slowly die instead of giving you that stress of starving them suddenly.
I for one tried weening before. This time I am glad to say I let the receptors die of starvation. For you "deathbychocolate" glad it worked. At least you are quit now.

So no nicotine what so ever for the last year? No nicorette gum or patches, no e-cigs, nothing! It's not just about the tobacco its about the nicotine
