I think its time to Quit

[gobbler74]

Ive fooled with some some form of smokeless tobacco since I was a teen..chewing tobacco, snuff, etc..For the last 15 years it has been primarily snuff. I like the taste and like to take a dip...but I'm fighting to quit now..Ive been fortunate enough to have no problems from it yet..but Im no fool and have friends that have problems from it. I laid it down a few days ago..its time to walk away...If anyone else out there is trying to quit after many years of smokeless tobacco..man it's tough sure enough.

This August will be 4 years for me after using for 25 years.  It is tough and I still have cravings, but will not go back.  One dip and I will be using a can per day.  Hang tough.  If you really want to quit then you will do it.

I picked it back up after being tobacco free for 9 1/2 years.  I need to quit again, but it is tough.

Nicotine in any form is a real b#tch to kick.  It'll be seven years (this coming Memorial Day weekend) since I had my last cigarette.  I still get the cravings...   

Good luck, and just take it one day at a time.

If it will help you guys...just think of all the turkey huntin' toys you can buy with the money you'll save by quiting.

I smoked for 10 years, early in my life. I quit and began using Copenhagen. I chewed that for 10 or 12 years and quit. I am here to tell you that it is harder to quit the chew than it was to quit the cigarettes. Granted, I quit the butts and went right to chewing, so it went from one directly to another. When I quit chewing, I had no crutch to lean on. Other than M@M's. It has been more than 20 years since my last dip. It can be done..Good luck to you, Jim..Stick with it, Brother..Mike

On a lighter note, I worked with an older gentleman that chewed Copenhagen, as well. His saying was, ''I ain't much for the ladies, but I sure 'nuff get horney for that Copenhagen''. I guess that says it all..

I currently dip Copenhagen.  Have now since I can remember going to my first rodeo.  I've tried to quit a couple of times, but one slip and I'm back to a can a day.  Definately one of the hardest things I've tried doing.

My dad smoked like a train and drank hard too for 30 years..laid em both down on same day and never looked back. He picked up a little chew habit after and rode that for about 8 years...6 months ago he tossed that habit cold turkey. I just shake my head. It's gotten to the point I can't pass a store without wondering If I need snuff and it pisses me off to think I let somethin get hold of me like that so I'm done with it. Gotta think about dad.

Congrats Gobbler74,
I have been quit for 15+ years now.  It does get better.  You just have to hang on a little each day.  I don't even think about it anymore.  Try and keep your hands and mind busy.  When you get the cravings if you can resist it for just a few min. your mind will get over it and you can resist it.  Good luck.
