Congrats. I wish you the best in kicking the bucket. Will you be changing your avatar?
Thats great. And if you every think about dipping, just think about all the money your saving and can spend on shooting.
I was just thinking about that. Gotta find me a new one!Quote:

It's tough, but hang in there. Drinkin lots of water helps me with the cravings
I did it a year ago cold turkey and made it 5 days before I started getting tunnel vision and severely agitated. Had to get Niccorette and the price of that will quickly get ya to quit. To bad I relapsed a month ago. It's bad shit.
Good job! Just think of how much money you'll save, how much healthier you'll be, and how good food will taste again.
There's no down side to this.
Food tastes pretty damn good no matter what in my opinion.Quote:

Congrats! I have heard that sweating with intense exercise futher helps reduce the craving along with drinking plenty of water.
Hang in there. I quit 4 years ago. It's tough but so worth it. Just think about all the extra cool gun stuff you can buy. Or add to your retirement.

gum, seeds, toothpics, straws.... fight the urges
No excuses, kick it's @ss and get er done!
A pack and can a day is a lot man. That's almost $10 A DAY. So now you'll have $300 a month for other cool goodies!
Stick with it man!
Awesome! Keep it up! I quit dipping 2 years ago and haven't looked back! [Awesom]
It took 4 years before I quit craving but it was worth it. Once you get a couple weeks away from it you won't be able to stand the smell.
good job, i wish you the best in your quest to quit. encourages me to finally quit smoking
Good job! Keep it up. It's gonna suck, but you can do it. If the cravings get too bad, I'll put some of my wife's cooking in a Copenhagen can and let you take a whiff. You'll never be able to look a a can of snuff again!
Qutiing smoking was one of the hardest things I have ever done. But after a while, I felt like a complete bad @$$ for doing it. Congrats man. Stay strong.
Good point. Guys who are able to sack-up and beat the habit definitely score higher on my "respect meter". It really is pretty badass.Quote:

I still have the urge.
Congrats!! Hang in there it does get easier. June will be two years for me and I am so glad I quit
Congrats!
Quit years ago after a good friend in his 20's died from gum/mouth cancer. I used to chew a can and a half a day. Don't miss it.
Quit 29 years ago and never looked back. Your doing it for your own good health !!
Congrats man, don't go back to it. I was at two cans a day before I thought I might have an issue. It's been 16 years chew free. Good luck
You guys make me feel like an ass for having no interest in quitting...
Congrats though man. That really is a great thing to do for yourself.
I am an experienced chew quitter. Every time I quit, I start thinking a month later "Geez, it was so easy to quit the last time, one little chew won't hurt me." A couple days pass, and I have a couple more. Before I know it I'm chewing 1.5 cans a day. I've done it at least 3 or 4 times over the past few years.Quote:

The secret to not starting again seems to be "Not even once". Don't have one ever again, no matter how innocent it seems.

Never again is the key. Because alcohol lowers your inhibitions, social drinking around other smokers was the hardest thing for me. The secret is to just suck it up and avoid those crowds for a while.
Very true . you are the crowd you keep! I was MIA for about four months cause all my buddies chewed. No rodeo or bars in that time and got me on the right path. My buddies understood and didn't bust my balls to bad. It's tuff but it can be done!Quote:

Congrats and keep it up!
You'll have certain behaviors that trigger wanting a smoke or a pinch...but it does get better with time.
All at once? Good lord. Congrats and if you can tough out the first few months, you're good.
Things that helped me:
Gum
Sunflower seeds
Jolly ranchers
First week was hardest for me.
