Anyone try nicotine gum with any success? Also, I have a tip.

Hey guys just wanted to ask if anyone has successfully used nicotine gum to help them quit. A lot of people say that you just get addicted to the gum but a) that's better than dip and b) it just seems like a good way to wean off and get out of the habit of buying cans. Am just curious how people went about weaning if they did, I was thinking of going a certain number of pieces a day, and then cutting cold turkey to mitigate any withdrawal.

Second, I do have a tip that has worked for me in the past. I quit for about 2 months and then started back up in a moment of weakness. The way I did it was I went on a two week roadtrip with some friends who I didn't want to know that I dipped. I was irritable as fuck on the trip but frankly it was a great way to stop. Once you hit a certain milestone, it gets easier to not want to undue your progress. It kind of gets over the "I'll start tomorrow" hurdle. Anyway, HTH.
