another good one for u might be jerky chew...its like dip but beef jerky so that u can still have the feeling of havin somethin in ur mouth. i quit dippin a yr ago (i started back up 3 months ago) and i would chew on anything i could get my hands on. but when i quit i also stepped down...went from grizzly lc to pouches to hard snuff to jerky chew

 

Beginning of day 4 and i am noticing that cravings are getting less and less. I used to wake up and have to get my dose of nicotine ASAP. Woke up this morning and the only reason i was reminded about was from the DB community supporting me and a one friend on facebook giving me some words of encouragement.

As for the habit of having something in my lip as a replacement, I got some seeds, and i will chew jerky up and stuff that in my lip for a about 20 minutes. Between the 2, it works wonders.

 

Good luck!

I have been chewing for 25 years now,up to 1.5 cans a day, have tried to quit on several occasions but always limp my way back to it.

Have tried everything imaginable, you name I have tried it, the one that worked the longest was cold turkey and it won't be long before I try it again.

It may be rude but I think it would be easier to walk away from my wife than it would be to quit.

 

Nicotine is oe of the mose intensely addicting substances on the planet. Some studies have shown it is even more addictive than heroin. Tobbaco companies figured this out a long time ago and have been making billions of dollars on it.

 

been smoking about 27yrs. at one point 3packs a day. Now about 1 1/2 a day. but i'm still trying for none. My better half HATES me when i try cold turkey! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

 

I've been dipping for over 30 years and I've quit before cold turkey. I believe it's the best way to do it and you have to put your mind to it and stick it out. Remember this, the cravings last only 3 minutes. Those 3 minutes are hell though, I know. I have a dip in my mouth from right after breakfast to right before I go to sleep every night. My dad quit back in '90 and I gave him my word I would quit too. I've made up my mind that in about 8-9 months when I get my new Mega Cab, I'm going to quit for good this time. Good luck to you, you can do it. One thing I noticed when I quit for an 8 month stretch was I gained 30 pounds in one month. Everything sure tastes better when you're off the snuff. It does help to have support also.

 

Well, for sake of reviving an old thread, I am once again thinking of how dumb this dipping **** is. Between this and alcohol, I am killing myself. I love my beer, but the feeling like **** the next day isn't worth the feeling of being messed up. Kinda feels like I am so reckless that I am eventually gonna hurt myself or others. I want to quit dipping, and have been exploring alternative solutions. Think I am gonna give the herbal snuff a shot. I keep thinking that it's not as much of a nicotine addiction, as much as it is a habit of having a dip in my lip. As for the drinking, I am gonna slow down, limit my drinking days to once or twice a week. That's a whole other story and battle of my own. Wish me luck..... AGAIN. I am sure as hell gonna need it

 

I have had good success with herbal snuff called smokey mountain. It is 100% natural with ginsing, clover and other stuff in it. My biggest problem was going through the motions of spitting and having something in my lip. There is also the shredded jerky in a can that a buddy of mine used with great success. Best of luck to you my friend it is freaking tough.

 

I had a slight problem with chew, 2+ cans a day of skoal wglc, woke up with it still in my mouth, chewed while eating, drinking, sleeping, sex, work, everywhere. I used to have to change my pillow daily because I would turn it brown every night. I never didnt have it in my mouth. I didnt spit either, I also chewed the spent chew when it was time for another dip. Dit that for 5 years. Quite cold turkey, 2 years later, CIGARS!!! And not them girly fruity flavored cigars, vanilla, peach, chocolate, real cigars, MX2 double maduro's.

 

Next time you go to an accident and use a shovel to scrape a drunk off the pavement, take a picture and keep it in your wallet...it'll be a good reminder.
