Great job on making it this far, getting to where you're at is a huge accomplishment. I know it really sucks right now, but just keep plowing forward, it will start getting better soon.
You're not cheating if it's not tobacco/nicotine. Keep up the good work ODAAT.
Do what you must to keep the poison out. While quitting one of the most addictive drugs known to man cheating is allowed and excepted. I used it for the first 40 and tossed it with no problem. Keep your focus on keeping the real stuff out. Quit with you today.
Fake it until you make it, if necessary. Day 45 here, still using fake chew (but I'm getting tired of it).
WTG tpnk. The first week is a bitch. When you are feeling cranky, get on here and have all all out bitch-a-thon. Cuss us out or whatever. We are just gonna laugh it off as long as you stay quit.

The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

The weekends are tough, but stay strong on your quit! It really does get easier.
Using the fake stuff is NOT cheating. If it works, keep using it.

Looks like you may be close to a computer a lot. In the top right in the Live Chat link. There is almost always people in there to go chat with, laugh with, yell at, cuss at, whatever you need! I'm in there almost every night and the conversation is great! Use it!

I just posted roll for day 3.Ã,  One day at a time ...
Keep doing what your doing, documenting your quit here. Think about your first weekend. What might be your triggers, a smoky bar? or whatever? Make contacts in your group, be prepared to hop into live chat in a moment of weakness, keep your "fake", seeds, non-nic gum handy! ODAAT!
What he said

Have a plan ready. The weekend is full of triggers. Be honest with your friends. Tell them you are quit and need support. If neccesary stay home and nail 2x4s to the doors.

Protect your quit no matter what

Opinions vary, but the only thing that matters is that this is a nic free group. Ultimately, you can pack dirty sweat socks in your lip if they so not contain nicotine. Quit = Nicotine Free. Ultimately do what works for you. I chose not to use fake chew, but chewed the hell out of Trident gum and sunflower seeds. My work buddies were calling me Piranha Boy because I was chomping Trident so much the first 30 days:-) Others use the fake chew for the first few weeks, months and further on. Do whatever it takes for you to keep nicotine out of your system.
