Well honestly I'm just learning that Nicotine Replacement Regimens aren't looked well upon in the quitting community. My plan started by being open with my wife about quitting. With my past quits I never really had anyone to hold me accountable aside from her and when i would cave I would just hide it and lie. (yeah dick move I know) Coming clean with her and asking for her help was #1. Next I did some research American Cancer Society I decided that I would quit primarily with a non-tobacco dip alternative (Jake's Mint Chew) and Nicotine Lozenges as a secondary support. I'm not a fan of using nicotine to kick nicotine but it has helped me a lot with withdraw symptoms. I talked to my wife about the lozenges and told her that I have to be careful not to become dependant on them and that I need to kick them as quick as I can without comprising my quit. Its still not easy but I really feel that this is it. Opinions may vary on my quit date since I'm using Lozenges ( not much really IÂ’ve used 2 today during my peak craving times) but for me today is day 8. I am not using tobacco and that is a quit for me. The Jakes Mint Chew is awesome and helps a ton. So from here my plan is to be off the lozenges in not more than 2 days and I have told all my friends and family to help hold me accountable. Other than that I plan to get through each day and keep communication open with my wife about my quit. Its when I try to do this alone that I fail.

This a NO NICOTINE site. End of discussion. Why this Site Works

drop the lozenges down the toilet then go post roll promising not to use nicotine in any shape fashion or form.

Embrace the suck of quitting and be accountable to yourself and us

Ya, that's what I was afraid of. Listen Cheeks, there are thousands of us here waiting to help and support you. We all quit. No Plan, no nic replacement. Just quit. Throw in all in the toilet and start this off. You cannot believe what awaits you if you really want this. We are waiting.

I started my "quit" by chewing on Nicorette Gum. Going from chew to nicotine replacement makes quitting twice as hard. Learn from my mistake. Cut the cord, sack up, dump everything with nicotine in it and post a Day 1. We all know how hard it is, use the resources available to you. We may call each other names, but we all want each other to be successfull quitters. Get ready for some tough love.

Hey everyone I'm new here (obviously) and I just wanted to say hi. Unfortunately this isn't my first quit.  'bang head' I've tried a few times in the past and failed, probably because I didn't educate myself on how to quit. Well that was then this is now. I have a plan, support, tools, and knowledge to make this my FINAL QUIT. In conclusion    'Finger' tobacco!

Don't hold out on us Cheeks, what is the plan ?

Ya, educate us.
