Sorry To Announce But I Have To Quit
 

Dipping that is. Sorry guys no such luck in getting rid of me.

I told my wife about 6 years ago that I would quit dipping Copenhagen on the spot the day either of my daughters asked me too. Tonight when were getting ready for supper my youngest informed me she needed to have a talk with me. I was like great she wants me to stop drinking beer.

She starts off by telling me about how snuff was a drug and that it was killing me more and more every day. It was then I knew where this conversation was going. I look at my wife and she gave me a wink.

"I want you to quit dipping snuff so you can live longer, I do not want you to die before you meet my children "(she is 13). So I tell her "ok" I leaned over the sink and with my tounge I toss it into the drain. "When are you you going to quit"? "I just did" I replied.

I have been dipping one can a day for 18 years, I just went to the dentist and he said my gums look great. But I have to quit this, it is going to be hard but I made a promise to my wife that if they asked I would do it. In return I told her that she would not complain about me doing it in the meantime.

So Copenhagen "it has been great, I have enjoyed our time together but I must live to see my daughters kids". All of this is a result of a 7th grade teacher trying to scare kids. I bought 5 cans of Cope today, all of it got poured in the sink tonight after supper.

Congrats man, its goin to be tough! Specially if you were a tin a day! I usually make a tin last half a week :lol: But yea its goin to be different for sure, chew lotsa gum to keep your mouth and mind busy. When my bud quit he did the gum thing with 2 pieces and he'd put it in his lip when it was all chewed and worked in so he had the mental thing goin like he had a dip in. Mind over matter bud your gonna win! Good luck! :pals:

Good luck Aaron.. Ive been about a can a day as well for many years. I have attempted to quit a few times, but my wife always winds up buying me a can of snuff so that she can stand to be around me.. :lol88: I tend to be a lil "edgy" without my snuff.. I wish you the best of luck though bro.. :c:

WOW. What A Good Father - Thats Pretty Cool There Bud.
I Couldn't Do It - 2 Tins Every 3 Days For Me For Me For 10 Years.
Hope For The Best Man Be Strong!

that's good man :U:

I need to quit Smokin

Yeah I quit dippin for a little while... I picked up smokin. lol and now i'm dippin again too. I need to quit though. I smoke outside and dip inside. Alot of the time i just light up or throw in a big chaw(used to chew too) just cuz i was bored.

But i wish you the bext of luck! I've been dippin a can or so a day for about 3 years now and smokin anwhere from half a pack to a whole pack for about 6 months. I'm 19 so i still got alot of dumb in me. Maybe i'll learn here in a little while that i should give it up too.

Way to go i'm rootin' for ya! The gum and jerky ideas are great! i quit for about a month usin' them. (speakin of dumb in me.. i quit for about 2 weeks the 2nd time i tried cuz i drank my spitter...TERRIBLE IDEA!!! But i've heard it works:w2:)

i seriously dont know how you guys can even stomach the smell of that crap..........

X2 Unfortunately nicotine has me by the Balls

:puke: Thats frickin disgusting there is no way i could ever even put a spitter up to my mout

We actually agree on something logan:pals:

Wow! I wish I had the will power. Good luck. :U: Chantix (varenicline) is that new "miracle" drug that's suppose to suppress the urge and keep the nicotine from having any effect, should you slip up. Heard a few good things about it from smokers, but don't know about the snuff. There seems to be as much, if not more, physical than chemical urge with snuff.

Good Luck Bud. My dad used to chew and growing up around that left me with no desire whatsoever of chewing. He finally stopped a few years ago. He used to swallow the juice so there was no spitter to drink! He did it cold turkey. Hang in there!

Chew Is A Desired Addiction In Its Own Category.. But Man It's Good Stuff. I See How People Can Find It Gross, When I Quit Smoking I Found The Smell Of Cigs Disgusting

congrats!!:c: Bet your breath will smell better too. Whatever you do, DO NOT try the "smokey mountain tobacco-less chew" Zach got some a while back to see what the difference was... he bout threw up.

Glad to see you quit. That stuff is nasty for lip and tongue cancer.

Chin u! Do it for your kids and your self. Save the money from snuff and put it in your truck - that'll keep a smile on your face!!:choochoo:

Congratulations!!!! I quit smokin' in Aug of '07, so I feel your pain! But I will say a prayer for your strength in it! :rocking:

The cost alone is enough to make someone quit!!!:w2:

its been 11 days this am since i quit smokin and chewin ....i have 3 kids ....my wife was on me pretty bad about it ...i had quit for 14 years and one day i had a cig ..next thing you know ,pack a day .......its all in how bad you want it ..are you going to let it run your life
good luck
marcel:c::5:

:U: Congrats! :c: Good Luck!

Time to get a big bag of sunflower seeds.

Congrats :c:

No spitter for me! GUT IT!:tttt:

Good Luck man!

You can do it Aaron, but ya its hard. For years after I quit I still got urges most when I was hunting, drinking, or doing something that I was always chewing during. I still chew on long drives and man the first dip is a dozy every time and I just about fall back in love every time.:w2:

X2

X2 after a few months of that you can stomach anything.

Good luck my friend, and if you can find anything that helps let me know.:c:

Tried Chantix (twice), tried gum, Mint Snuff etc.........

21 years of snuff for me, last 10 years has been 1 can sometimes 1.5 cans a day.

I would like to quit, just don't have the motivation.

How you making out with quitting? Tough eh? Makes ya want to snap.
No cigs for me for almost two years. Still crave one once in a while. :madd:

I have not had even one dip yet, I went out last night drinking with the boys. It was very hard not to take a dip.

Today and tomorrow will be the test, lot of football to be watched.

Good for you man. :U: :U: :U: Be strong. :rocking:
You can do it. Don't cave.
You'd just have to start from the beginning again. :argh:

Good to hear your still hanging tough! Keep us posted and we're all here for support... :pals:

I am done, have not had a dip in a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time. But that does not mean I do not want one.

Good for you, I quit 12 years ago cold turkey. Mind you I only had the habbit for 3 years, it was still a can a day habbit. Momma said she would divorce me if I didn't quit, not because she didn't like it, because I would lie to her about it and hide it.

I can say for the first year, everytime I went into a 7-11, the first thing I would look at was the Copenhagen display and it took everybone in my body not to buy a can. Now, everytime I smell somone open a can up I almost puke it smells so bad.

I wish you the best of luck man:U:
