Day 17 no tobbaco the reason why I didn't post in roll call is because I have used the nicotine gum, i have bipolar and quitting cold turkey wasn't an option due to past attempts so 17 days no chew . Been to urgent care about sores on the floor of my tongue and found out they're canker sores and they gave me some paste to put on them slowly but surely my mouth is healing has anyone ever hone through this where you had canker sores and they scared the shit outta you where they wouldn't go away? Well I'm gonna ween myself off the gum on day 30 and post in roll call and what not just thought I'd give an update.
But you did post roll call. Three times, in fact (albeit one of those times was in your intro thread). Were you posting roll while using nicotine gum, or did you start using the gum and that's when you stopped posting?
Here's the thing, dude. You showed up here and said "tomorrow's the big day!" Now we're finding out "the big day" is day 30...maybe? Because you said "I'm gonna ween myself off the gum on day 30". Ween means gradually stop, so that's not even an actual date. Are you seeing the pattern here? You keep pushing it off, and pushing it off, and pushing it off. I pushed quitting off for 13 years. Some people pushed it off for 40. And sadly, too many pushed it off and DIED before they got around to quitting. It has to stop TODAY or it won't stop at all. And deep down, you know that. I know you do. Stop ALL FORMS of nicotine, something I know you CAN do if you really want to do it. Just get rid of it, bro.
Let's try this plan instead. Today, 7/14/2015, is the big day. Toss that rancid gum away that you don't need, cut all ties with nicotine, a substance that you also don't need no matter what the excuse, and let's get you experiencing true freedom again. Forget your previous attempts to stop. We don't attempt anything here. We simply do it. Actually give the site a fair shot man. Go into the chatroom and meet the folks there. Trade numbers with your group in October. Give this place a fair shot before you determine quitting can't be done without patches, or gum, or whatever else.
You can do this!
