Well...this is day 1. I've tried to quit hundreds of times with no success, but have a different feeling about this one.  I'm on a program with my insurance company which provided the patch and gum at no charge which seems to provide me with more of a mandate to quit.

If I had a gun to my head and was forced to state the thing I am best at...it would have to be dipping.  That's not to say I have no good skills, but I'm really good at dipping.  Work, meetings, reading, movies, driving even church if I wanted.  I can dip and no one knows I'm doing it....but I do. I know that I am setting myself up for cancer. I know that I am overweight b/c dip goes oh so well with sweet tea, coffee and beer.

The toughest part of quitting for me is the cycle of behaviors I have to master to succeed in this quit, both positive and negative. Failure anywhere within this cycle will most likely lead to a stop at the local convenience for a date with the bear.....and it will feel so good that first time.

But, if not now when? So I am choosing now. Any insight or support would be greatly appreciated.  I am on my own on this journey and could use some friends going through the same thing I am about to.
Well post in your group and you will never be alone!

Read the intro section and gain as much knowledge as you can. This site is truly bad ass and only bad ass need apply!

Once you post your promise to not use nicotine in any form....keep it!

I know it doesn't sound like much but its the self drive and site accountability that make this the place to get your quit on!
Thanks brother..It does feel good to have a place to go like this!
Did you say you were on the patch and gum?
This is a zero nicotine site!!! If you truly want to quit for you you can do it. Using patches or gum is bullshit, it only changes the mode of introducing nicotine into your system.
So I'm blackballed already.....
No, your just getting advice from those who know how to get you to where you are trying to be.

You want to quit, you need to walk away from the source, and thats nicotine my friend.

Ditch the gum and the patch.

BTW, you're not blackballed.We don't turn people away, but our way of quitting is cold turkey and it works. You can browse the site, but if you intend to post roll, you need to spit it out, and flush every thing down the crapper. So get to quitting and living, instead of dipping and dying. 'flush'

remember that this is not only a place to kick smokeless tobacco, but we get to the root of the issue and that's the Nic Bitch. She's well, a bitch. She's ruthless, she wants you for herself.Her and her friend "Nitrosamines" have a big party inside your body until one day you end up with cancer. She has deceived you, stolen money, but the biggest one of them all.. she stole your life and you had the opportunity to quit.

So here we go man... you ready to take your life back?

If so.... go here first the Welcome Center

Then go to July Pre-HOF class and post roll. If you don't know how, private message anyone of the people you see posting roll and they will help you. We are all in this together. No one else's quit is better than another. We are all equally recovering!

Oh, in case you don't know what "Nitrosamines" are Google it, you'll never want to put that shit back in your mouth ever again. A lot of things we consume have them, but processed tobacco has an astronomical amount.

So I'm blackballed already.....I didn't realize this was a no patch/gum site. I respect that but I have tried many times to quit in every way. This time I am using the products so if this isn't the site for me so be it. Best of luck to everyone in their journey to quit.

I thought that might come up.....

I am. The state of SC has partnered with this organization for everyone in the state. I happen to have insurance that partners with them as well so all services are free for me.

I did ask them about combining the two and they said it is fine. Apparently nicorette doesn't recommend it, but the FDA does not have a problem with it.

The way I see it, the patch and gum haven't worked long term for me on their own and maybe the combo will. If I feel bad I will stop, but I don't think it can be worse than Kodiak.

I'll keep you updated.
