How I finally quit chewing tobacco

[Mthomas3824]

I am addicted to nicotine and always will be. I am not cured and everyday is a victory or it could be my demise. This is how I have stayed nic free for the last 147 days.

I finally wanted a life free of being a slave to the can. I wanted to quit.

I found KTC and they gave me the final push to quit again.

The method of quit cold turkey. I was a ninja dipper and so all the herbal replacement wasn't what I wanted. I didn't even want the appearance of dip. As an addict, I didn't want to replace one habit with another so I quit alcohol cold turkey as well.

KTC educated me, supported me but I also engaged and supported others.

They don't pay be but I endorse this site because they paid me in saving my integrity, walking me to freedom from vice and gave me the tools to win.

330 days quit is very good but if he would have quit cold turkey, he would be well over a year quit I am sure.

Also, be wary of people who promote weening as a great option. This guy could be salesman and stocks Walmart's with nicotine patches etc. Addicts never do well with dimmer switches. It's either on or off.

Why would someone promote weening?

All nicotine gum made me wanna do was keep ingesting nicotine. Amazingly, that's how it is for any drug you're addicted to. No easy way out. The only thing that got me quit was to stop ingesting nicotine and posting roll.

I sincerely hope you are free from Nicotine, which is what you are addicted to. Patches just delay the inevitable that you have to STOP PUTTING THAT SHIT IN YOUR SYSTEM!

I'm happy the patch worked for you, but for the thousands of guys here it was simpler than that:

1. Post roll every day.

2. Keep your WORD.

3. Repeat.

Patches....pppfffftttt....weak sauce.

I agree with my fellow brothers in quit.

If you are so successful at quitting, why did you even come looking for this place? We believe in quitting cold turkey here. I for one don't believe in sucking on a nipple when you are trying to quit the whole tit. It didn't work for me and there are many here because it didn't work for them.

You know what works? Throw the shit away. Post roll. Quit for today. Repeat tomorrow.

All that other stuff is horseshit.

Kub is right. Man up , quit today, repeat tomorrow

Hi all,

Well I should start by saying, I started chewing tobacco at the age of 14. I chewed for roughly 25 years, at least 1 can per day. I even wound up smoking for 15 years as well because I tried smoking to quit chewing. Nothing I could do ever seemed to work.

Then, one day I just decided that I want to be around for my children. However, I still didn't have the willpower to just quit. That is when I knew I would need some aids and this is how I quit chewing. If I can quit, I think anyone has a good chance of quitting as well. I hope this technique works for those of you who really want to quit as well. By the way, I have been chew free for almost 11 months now.

I knew that I would never be able to break the habit or the addiction on my own. So instead of even trying, I simply replaced them. I started by trying out some "fake chew" flavors. For me, it was Smokey Mountain Classic that seemed to work well enough to do the job. It is no Copenhagen, but it suffices. So, now that I found some herbal snuff to help with the mental addiction, I decided on using Nicotine patches for the physical addiction.

I purchased the Walmart brand patches, and went with the full 10 week system with full intention of following it to a T. I also purchased some nicotine losenges for those especially rough days, but only used two of them over the course of the 10 weeks. I would put on my patch in the morning and I wore it 24 hours until the next patch. I never even tried to take it off before bed, knowing that I would have cravings that way.

By the end of the 10 weeks, I was weened off nicotine. I still have the mental addiction 11 months later as I still chew the Smokey Mountain herbal snuff, but I figure it is way better than chewing tobacco. My dentist even commented on how much better my gums look now. Someday I will ween myself off the Smokey Mountain but for now, I still enjoy the chew, and I know I can do it without damaging my body like I did with chewing tobacco.

Now that you know this method worked for me, try it! The first week, even with the patches is still not pleasant. However, having the fake chew and the replacement nicotine really helps you change the habit and will ween you off the nicotine if followed correctly!

you can wean off nicotine in three days if you just fucking stop. you wasted 9 weeks and 4 days.
