1 Year of Not Smoking Today!
by candothis247, Jun 10, 2009 12:17AM
Hello fellow ex-smokers:
This is my 1st time at this forum. Today I have 1 year of not smoking cigarettes. Woot whew! I used all the stuff to quit including zyban, patches, chantix and nicotine gum, in that order. I’m chewing 3-6 pieces of 4 mg nicotine gum per day. I told myself that after 1 year of being smoke free, I would deal with my gum addiction. The plan of course is to wean myself off of the gum. I thought I would start by cutting the 4 mg in half and see if that works, the problem is I love the gum…. Does anyone here have any good ideas for getting off the darn gum now? I know there is no EZ way out, but any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you.

We have had some recent talk about the gum and maybe you can glean some info from it. Try following this thread:

I quit with Chantix so I am not personally knowledgeable, but I do know some "gum" users who have been chewing for many years and are having a difficult time trying to stop.
If I could give you any advice, it would be to try to duplicate the flavor with chewing gum and go for it! You may want to read some articles at whyquit.com as you will be dealing with withdrawals.
We are here for you and hopefully we can help you through some of the rough patches.
Good luck to you : )
Best of luck to you and we are here if you need us :)
