I have been tobacco free for 4 days!!!!! :'(
I am about ready to eat a hole in my cheek. Gum sucks, toothpicks suck, candy just don't cut it. ARRRRRRRGH. How the heck do people do it? ???
I can't even stand myself right now.
I tried to make something or knap or something to keep me busy, but I don't have the attention span to complete a thought right now. I have dipped or chewed tobacco since I was 13yrs old. I even smoked cigars and cigs. I LOVE TOBACCO!!!!!!!!!!
Man some days really suck bad.

When I quit dipping 5 1/2 years ago I nearly beat the pockets off my clothes for the first two or three weeks. After that it got a little easier after the first month I had it beat. I think the biggest thing I had going for me is that I really wanted to quit real bad. Good luck hang tough it aint easy but it is doable.Good luck. Ron

Take an empty Dip can and fill it with,, ??? ::), cow poop, worm droppings or something like that. Then when you reach for a dip out of habit it will teach you to break that hand habit while the addiction is passing.
-
It is a love hate relationship. I love dipping, but now a days everyplace is tobacco free and I hate it.
-
Eddie the next thing yo uknow I would be dipping something worse than tobacco :o
-
I haven't had a pinch between my cheek and gums in 10 years now, and I still crave Copenhagen. It'll get better man, just got to tough it out for a couple of weeks. It's not a cake walk after that, but it is much easier.
-
i quit smoking 2 years ago. sometimes i do still think about it. but i just figured that itll always be a thing im trying to quit even after 20 years. they say it rewires your brain to need it..

yup going on three for me,after 28 years of smoking i quit cold turkey
still crave em every now and again
especially ifn i am letting loose and having a few cocktails(which isnt often)
but other than that i cant stand them at all anymore
i hate the smell of it on people,around people,in peoples cars,cant figure out how and the hell i put up with it for that long
YOU CAN DO IT
and youll be a better and happier and healthier person for it
dont give up on yourself
like any other addiction when you are trying to beat it
take it one day at a time,and some days one moment at a time if needed
try this,everytime you crave it to the point you just gotta do it
take a hammer and smash your hand,youll be giving it up for good in no time at all
seriously,you can do it
i know it seems difficult at first but it does get easier after the first couple of weeks
good luck,im pulling for ya
-
Good luck on that,wished I wanted to quit. :)

My 11yr old duaghter came up to me yesterday and said she was proud of me for doing so good at quitting. I about lost it. I was having a real bad evening and that helped out alot.
-
Thanks for all the support guys. I appreciate it
-
It has been a over a week now. I want tobacco worse now than when I first quit. It is gonna be hard to make it through the weekend. I would chew, smoke, eat, or drink tobacco right now.
Dang I need to sue the tobacco company for making it taste so good.
-
Hang in there TJ. You can do it! 8)
-
Tj dont give in to them demons now
you all but got it licked
get past the 10-14 day mark and its all you from there on\
remember you control it,it does not control you ;)
hang in there were all pulling for ya
-
10 days was the mark for me, but it still gets tempting. Exercise helps. The endorphin release afterwards seems calming and replacing a bad habit with a good one is what is often recommended to increase chances of success. Hope you pull through!
-
I quite smoking about 6 years ago that was easy. I've tried a couple times to stop dipping and can't. I think they put crack in the stuff.
-
TJ.
look up "kill the can dot org".. all one word.
everyone there is quittin dip as well and it is a good place to rage if you need to. plus there is a ton of good info on that site..
it is hard as hell but you can do it.
I have not dipped since 6/15/10 almost 4 months..
been struggling with cigars some every once in a while... like a knapp in or event...
but u can do it hang in there dude.
after 3 days all nic is out of your system.
after that it is just mind games and the fog.. work through that and you are game.
call me if you need to.

Don't give up TJ. I dropped the dipping in March after 36 years of having some form of tobacco in my mouth. July 28th I quit smoking. If all else fails, get your favorite flavor of sunflower seeds. It will help with the chewy and the urge to spit.
-
It was tuff today. I was out knapping most of the day and I wanted dip bad. Will have to try seeds tomorrow. Thanks guys for all the support.
-
Good luck nugget - keep huggin' your kids ;)
-
i remember how the first couple days it was easy, then it got harder. i dont remember how i quit. i just stopped. i pretty much got it in my head, i shouldnt be doing it its bad, my mom would kill me! lol. but some how, it worked. was still very hard though
-
I quit dipping for nearly fifteen years once, then I took me one dip and it was on again. I could eat Copenhagen on toast. :)
-
It has been over a week. I made it through the weekend free of tobacco. Had to go to the sunflower seeds Saturday. I don't think I will ever lose the craving for the taste.
-
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
your on your way now brother
the seeds are a great choice ti fill that void of chewing and spitting
dont worry about the taste,after awhile you wont even remember what it was like
GOOD ON YOU
-
Yeah good job man. I saw two people that I really cared about die within about 2 months of each other from cigarette related illnesses and that was enough of a wake up call for me. It was still hard to quit but I'm kind of like sailordad where the smell gets to me now, except if it's a cigar or pipe tobacco for some reason those have an appealing smell. I sure don't crave one if I'm drinking though because when I even smell them then I feel like puking.
-
The smell of tobacco is like a drug. I love to smell chewing tobacco, un lit cigars, and un lit pipe tobacco. Lit cigs make me gag.
Oh yah. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks.
-
For me this was the ticket..
Go to the sheets gas station.
they sell a brand of sunflower seeds. it is Jim Beam soaked Jalapeno flavor sunflower seeds.
Just enough bite that you got somethign to spit and something do to do with your tounge and lips and stuff.
try it out.
stay with it bro.

Wow, Jim Beam + jalapeno's + sunflower seeds? That's an awesome combination. I'm going to Sheetz right now!
-
sounds like a helluva conglomerance.....let me know how they is JC
-
Aint got no sheetz gas stations around here in the hills. :'(
-
There's one in Statesville now at 115 and 77, they're building one in Mocksville too. That's not too far from you. Of course, if these seeds turn out to be as good as they sound I may buy the store out.
Hey, that's not a bad idea, maybe I could get some rock out of it! >:D
-
Sounds like a plan to me. ;)
-
Whoops, I meant 115 and I-40. Anyway, I had to stop on the way home to check it out. No Jim Beam and jalapeno that I could find, but there were Jim Beam barbeque flavor ones. They ain't half bad, but I still want to try the jalapeno ones.
-
Me too!
Looked for them today around town and didnt find squat
-
Good work nugget! I quit (let's see been with my wife dating/married about 7 years now) 6.5 years ago haha. Now I dunno how long you chewed, I only chewed for a couple years, but I still had the aches in the lip after dinner or anytime I had a beer. But it eventually it went away, just keep working. To this day I see other guys having a chew and I still want to throw one in. You just gotta be stronger minded and not let it beat you, cold turkey is the toughest. I dunno if anyone else has mentioned it but I'm original from PA and there were some tobacco places that carried no tobacco snuff.
-
I did a little more looking yesterday and I was able to confirm the existance of the jalapeno sunflower seeds. And let me tell you, they're just as good as they sound. Way better than the bbq ones.
I think I might have just found myself a new addiction.
