I am 48 and have been dipping Cope for the past 35 years with a couple of short stops along the way. I remember buying Cope for 37 cents a can and complaining and swearing I was going to quit when it hit $2 a can. Now it nearly $5 a can and I was still going strong until Tuesday, April 27, 2010 my quit date. For the most part I have been in a daze just gliding through the hours and trying not eat everything in sight. I have been sleepy all day even after I wake in the morning. I feel like I am cheating because I am using Nicoderm CQ patches, but I am pretty sure without them I would fail. I think and dream about Cope all day and night and reach for my dip frequently. I am bound and determined to QUIT this time! I am tired of failing, I am tired of sore gums, I am tired of the burn and most of all I am tired of being a slave to the Copenmonster.
hey man.

I'm going to keep this short. first great decesion to quit. Second drop the patches. KTC is 100% nic free. You are going to have to get over the withdrawl hurdle at some point...might as well be now.
Cold Turkey, Bro. It's the only way.

Tried patches. Tried Gum. No dice. You're body won't start it's recovery until you are all the way off nicotine. You can do patches for months, but once you come off them, It's just as bad as quitting cold turkey. You're just stretching out/delaying the pain. Throw the patches out and get your quit on, bro.
Sooner
I am going to guess you are an OKIE. I was for a long time. I am here to tell you that thre is no way to wean yourself off the NIC. Dump the shit, toss the patches, buckle in and hold on. The physical part of quitting was not all that bad for me. 3 days of the suck and its on to the mind games.

Cold turkey is the way to go. Toss your patches post your promise and lets get this shit done.
