wpierce,
nah, your good bro. You'll be just like me, I quit with the patch a bunch of times . It has just enough nicotine to keep you in a long slow withdrawl, kind of like trying to stab yourself with a butter knife. The studies that support NRT are crap as far as I'm concerned. They used double blind studies, but if they gave your ass a placebo I bet you'd know right? I mean I woulda been fiending for a chew if they gave me the fake patch and I KNOW EXACTLY what that feels like. So how the fuck can they say with any truth that the shit helps you.?
Seriously, it's not that you can't quit, it's that you wont. Just fucking man up and make the call. Most long term successful quits are cold turkey. Wear the patch if you must, but follow the directions without any deviation. My opinion from multiple attempts with the patch and gum was that it just kept me hooked on nicotine. It's like a alchoholic switching from whiskey to light beer.
If you really want to quit just decide that you'll deal with the first 72hrs and all the shit that comes with it . No matter how much it sucks you'll handle it without chew.
The pain of quitting is temporary but the pain of cancer is infinite. It will suck, but it is the price you pay to earn your freedom. Quit being a nancy boy, jello spined UST donating, cancer sucking zombie. You must be tired of being sick and tired by now, just step into the ring. If I can do it so can you. 2 cans a day, started at 15, ramped up in college, quit at 38. Would give my left nut to go back in time and quit at 32. The pain, money, health, relationship problems you will incur if you keep chewing won't be worth it.
I swear it will get better, just roll with the program here, just take the shit out of your yap, rip of the faggity patch and quit
