Is it good to go and get the herbal stuff or just say the heck with anything like that?
If you have to use the herbal to stay quit by all means use it. I personally didn't and haven't because I felt like it was to close to the real deal. Alot of quitters on KTC swear by it though. Bottom line do what ever it takes to stay quit today, 24 hours 1,440 minutes. You can do this, there is an army of quitters backing your quit today. QLF today
LOOT thinks like jaynellie. Way, way too fuggin close to the real thing. It would start the same old rationalization process that kill a bunch of other attempts. "You are spending money on it....You are dipping it...It looks like dip...It comes in a can like dip...You may as well dip". Thas how LOOTs mind works right there. Stupid assed addict rationalization.
Only you know you. Follow your instinct. Aint nuttin wrong with it as long as you can control it. LOOT can't and knows it.
You are going to deal with the oral fixation at some point or another. LOOT bit the bullet and had it whooped around Day 90. 3 months of seeds and sore, bleeding gums and it was over. Some guys one here are carrying fakie years after they quit. Aint for LOOT.
Again...only you know you.
^^^ x 3. I agree with Loot completely. I was tired of the addiction, the spit, the dribble down the back of my throat, the dependency on a can, the appearance of shit in my mouth. All of it. I knew that I had to get just as far away from the whole situation as I possibly could. I chewed through a damn truckload of seeds, though. I'd say stay away from IF YOU CAN.
Even with all that said, I have to admit that I personally know of many instances where fake stuff saved a quit. I will never bash my brothers who used it. Whatever works.
I am one that used the fake like it was going out of style but ended up regretting it. Had a TERRIBLE time quitting the fake stuff because it was like I was going through the first few days all over again (without the nic withdrawal). The same feelings of giving up a friend, the same feelings of being bored off my ass, the same feeling of needing something more.
Did it help me get through the real nic withdrawal? No, not any more than sunflower seeds did. If I could do it over with the knowledge I no have I would not have used seeds or the fake.
Go with your gut feeling on this. Only you know what it is going to do for your mindset.
