Trying to stop smoking.

[Kiltedfirepiper]

I guess I went the wuss way about it....I used the patch AND gum....
heres how I did it

first 3 days
14mg patch....and 2 mg gum when cravings got bad( I know what your gonna say ......"but youre using TWO diffrent methods at the SAME TIME!?!?!? THATS BAD!!!!")

concidering I was chewing a can of cope every one/ two days ( 3 finger dips for those who chew) so even if I did 2 patches it would barely touch what I got before!!


after those 3 days I got off the patch ....and did just 2 2mg gums...big drop.....big mood change....no dip

5 days after that 1 2mg gum alternating regular gum in between

and now I am doing 1 2mg after gum every TWO regular gums

I should be on JUST regular gum by X-mas day .....timed it just right too

Yeah. Chew seems to be harder to quit than smoking. That's likely because the amount of nicotine is a LOT higher than just smoking.

For a time, I was chewing one full pouch of Red Man every day.

I quit by switching to Skoal Bandits, and limiting myself daily on the number of the little packets I'd use.

When I was down to four packets a day, I quit cold turkey. I still chew an awful lot of sugarfree gum, now.
