Hello

[Palpatine]

Hello everyone,

I am new to KTC. I am a 27 year old father of two who has been chewing since I was 17. I quit for good on May 19, 2016. So, only on day 13 right now but it is significant progress. Prior to May 19, I had not gone more than 36 hours without chew for a decade. I feel like a brand new person, in some good ways and some bad. Very edgy still but less thinking about mouth cancer.

I am using fake dip and nicotine gum. The nicotine gum very sparingly, actually haven't touched that in the last few days. So tough when all of your habits revolve around a fat lip for all of your adult life. At least for me, it is.

Yikes - nic gum is nicotine. Get rid of that crap. Your quit date is the day you quit using nic and not the day you quit using chew. The last day you had the nic gum is your new quit date. If you last had nic gum on 5/28, your day 1 is 5/28.

Throw that shit away and get on here and post in the September 2016 group. No nicotine means no vapes, cigars, cigarettes, chew, snuss, nic gum, nic patch, ANYTHING with nicotine in it. Burn it and get it out of your system.
