I find it crazy that I had three cans last weekend - so I made sure I finished it all - woke up at 3AM Monday and put in my last dip (I paid for it). At 4:30 I got rid of it and vowed to never dip again. I'm 5 days down. Going on 6!
I tried to taper but I always ended up going back to full tilt. The nicotine gum was just way more expensive. The only way for me was to just quit.
The funny thing is that instead of a taper, I amped it up the last couple days. Then COLD TURKEY!
