Tdogg,

Don't worry about the fake dip, use it as much as you need to keep the poisonous weed out of your lip. I used it for a little over a month and then just kind of quit. Didn't really even think about it, just kind of backed off using it. I still keep a can around for those momentary urges where I feel the need to have something in my lip. Nothing wrong with using that to keep from using the real crap.

Day six and doing good been some long day driving machinery which make it hard because for years when I got hungry, tired, or just bored I would put a chew in. Now I've been doing great with sunflower seeds and smokey mountain "fake chew". Which brings me to my question for all you veterans. I want to eventually be completely done chewing and now I'm still chewing smokey mountain should I quit the fake chew too or wait until I'm off the nicotine and then tackle the dip?
my 2 cents

Wait until you are off the nicotine and don't worry about the fake chew. Many will chime in as this topic is discussed very frequently and I had exactly the same question early in my quit. I am now on day 118 - early in my quit I used Smokey Mtn daily. For the last month I've used it maybe 2-3 times per week. My usage now is almost non-existent except football coming back has caused me to use it a little more.

Bottom line is that eventually we will just stop with the fake dip. There is one rule here and that is to keep nicotine out of your body. If the fake helps then keep using it.

I keep a can around just in case but again don't worry about the fake stuff - you won't become addicted to it and eventually you'll stop using it.

Proud to quit with you TODAY

Hello TDogg! Listen to these guys, they know what they are talking about. Well, I can only vouch for their Quit acumen. Some of them have questionable manners and unfortunate sports allegiances but they know what you need to learn about The Quit.

Did you use nicotine gum or is that not a good idea I was reading on here it is not a good thing because it still has the nicotine we're trying to overcome?
TDogg,

Welcome to the asylum. If you have the desire to quit, this is the place. I was a nicotine user for 25+ years until I found this place. Stopped using more times then I can remember, but never quit. KTC will show you how to quit, its just up to you to follow the path that has been blazed. Post roll daily, keep your promise that you will not use nicotine for 24 hours and do it again the next day. Its a fool proof method if you are good for your word. Just remember we are all addicts and for me that was the first hurdle to get over, realizing I was an addict and this was not just a habit I could control. Join your December group, get some digits from folks in your group and stay involved around here, it will really help during the SUCK  FOG which you are in now. The poison should be out of your system soon, so the rest of this will be mental. Again welcome and if you need anything shoot me a PM.
Tdogg-
This is a no nicotine site. No nicotine in any form. You are addicted to nicotine not dipping. Nicorette gum is just delivering the poison via a different vehicle. We quit nicotine. Flush that shit down the toilet and quit with us.
