Separate threads are a no-brainer anyway. If I want to see discussion on a certain game I don’t want to wade through a bunch of crap.

I'm going to give up dipping. I've spent over $80 already this month on this crap. Anybody got any tips to cut the tobacco habit for good?

Usually it’s all done in one thread, at least that’s how I did it when I was a moderator at scf it made for easier maintenance.,‘I used to hate having to check every different thread to make sure things were going smoothly.

Depending on how much you dip, dual therapy NRT is probably recommended. Patch plus gum or patch plus losenge. Dippers tend to like the losenges more because you can just pop it in and let it sit.

Other non FDA aids like zyn pouches can be helpful.

How long does a can typically last you?

Having quit smoking cigarettes for 5 years now I would suggest cold turkey you seem like a strong willed person and trust me all these home remedies rarely work. Just set a date slow down your dipping before that date and then stop altogether. I will say if I didn’t have my wife watching over me like a hawk I would’ve never made it 5 years.

A can usually lasts about 3/4 a day. I seriously use a lot of this stuff. I'm on roll 5 and we're 8 days into the year. I've gone through 10 rolls in 7 1/2 days.

That’s how it’s done here, where I used to moderate it was done different. Don’t even bother trying to tell me you didn’t have ulterior motives for doing it the way you did, it’s getting rather childish at this point.

A can is 50-60mg.

A single patch is 21mg and the higher dose losenge/gum is 4mg.

It might seem overkill but 2 21mg patches plus losenges/gum would be my recommendation. You don’t want to cut the nicotine initially. You want to try and match it to keep your brain happy while you work on the day to day of physically not chewing.

Kill the can dot org also has a ton of great resources and ideas all specific to chewing.

You can PM if you have questions or concerns.

That’s good at least you only have the one habit to worry about. I used to smoke a pack to a pack and a half a day and that was before they got so expensive. If you quit that’s 1,000 you could save right there, think of how many cheap soccer boxes you could buy.

School district just cancelled all classes and activities for tomorrow, so my supervisor said we are doing the same. I think I'm taking tomorrow off since I have 6 hours from Saturday.

Not really it’s okay but out of the way from most everything.

I'm spending around $4,000 a year on this crap. That is a whole lotta cheap boxes. Heck, that's some decent RC's for the PC right there. An extra $4,000 in savings, or an extra $4,000 in investing.

I sent out the message to all the coaches that said "due to the threat of severe weather, we are cancelling ALL practices and games for tomorrow, January 9th". Not 2 minutes later a coach text me asking if we are cancelling games today too. READ THE MESSAGE!
