A little background for the community in hopes that someone out here is like myself. I have an addictive personality. If i am gonna do something, I do it all out, and don't half *** it. With that being said, I am currently going thru a can of skoal about every 2.5 days. it doesnt sound like much, but I throw a dip in after my morning shower and it stays there until lunch. I have another dip after lunch that last for a couple hours. And one more before dinner which is at about 1730. Then have an additional 2 dips for a few hours each to end the day. This is pretty much my regular routine.

Now, i have not quit... yet. I want to do this cold turkey, with the least amount of medicinal or nicotine assistance possible(refer to my personality). So what are some things that have helped the DB community become tobacco free?? And any Tips, suggestions, or motivation is not only welcome, but wanted.

Tahnks in advance for any support that i get from you guys and gals here.

 

lots of gum and chew on cocktail straws or tooth picks. sunflower seeds work to just all the salt hurt my gums worse then copenhagen did. goodluck YOU CAN DO IT!!!

 

Thanks for tips. Is there anything that you did to break the routine of when you had dip?? I know right i after is one of my strongest cravings.

 

I use 2 cans of skoal WGLC a day. I need to quit, but ive never tried. I can only imagine how hard it would be....GOOD LUCK !

 

I have to quite once in a while for weeks at a time because of stomach problems, I put a chew in and within seconds I'm doubled over in pain. When I go through this I use tea bags to substitute the chew with as far as the habit of doing it. The nicotine cravings, well you just have to fight your way past that dragon.

 

i quit smoking cold turkey i mean i was in a hospital cause i broke my leg due to my motorcycle accident but i did gum everytime i had a craving

 

Good luck. I usually can quit for three weeks then it gets me. I haven't been strong enough to go through it. Like i said good luck.

 

good luck. mind over matter. i quit once when i got my wisdom teeth out. but that didnt last long. i chewed a ton of gum.

 

Yep, you just gotta put your mind to it.

 

Well its officially day one, and so far no tobacco since about midnight. i figure that quitting this **** would start on the 4th of july. Right now i am jsut trying to make it thru the first ten days. i hear those are the hardest ones.

I am definitely a little edge. i feel bad for the guys that ahve to deal with me 24/7. i refuse to tell them cuz there are some guys that would rub it in my face and get a relapse out of me.
