But, man, I love my 2 kids and wife a bit more.
On day 3 right now.
Took my first one summer of my 7th grade year. Clearly remember my buddy David pulling out a can of Skoal Bandits and introducing me to my 32 year habit. Copenhagen has been my best friend now for 3 decades.
Not going to lie....love everything about dipping. Except of course for the recent sore that didnt go away for about 5 days. Turned out to be simply a ulcer, but, it was a wake up call. Every dipper has had it: that moment when your laying in bed at night thinking about that little pain in your mouth: Hoping its nothing -- telling yourself its nothing.
So anyway, its just me and my Nicorette 4mg at the moment. Hell, last night I found a can with a little in it. Scooped it right up and stuck it in. Think I was close to Nicotene overdose. Not a good sensation
Found this site. I'm encouraged.
Hey PCMS,
Glad you're here. There's hope, but we need to get some things out of the way real fast.
You're not quit, you're not even stopped, you're still using. You've simply traded one form of nicotine, for another. We QUIT cold turkey here. No gum, no patches, no NRT (nicotine replacement therapy). You need to get rid of the rest of your Nicorette, and QUIT. It's gonna suck big balls. Your body needs to readjust to what normal is. This process is known as "The Suck". 3 days and the nicotine is out of your system. 72 hrs of hell, for a opportunity at freedom.
This intro will draw a lot of attention and I suggest you read what everyone of these quitters write to you.
Are you serious about quitting? Or do you just want to trade dip for gum/patches?
