I commend you for wanting to quit, but really, why wait till Friday? If you want to quit, quit today.

I quit the first of the year. I use the chantix. Dipped over a can a day for 20years. Put it in my mind I want to live for another 40-50 years instead of 10 or 20. I'll have to say chantix might not be for everyone but it gets my vote. Still you have to tell yourself NO! Been taking it for 3 and a half months and going to keep taking it for another 3. Good luck.

you have to want to stop. made the mistake of starting again last summer during my divorce. thankfully my son pushed me to stop again. you can do it.

I am on day 7 as we speak. Been chewing for 30 some years. Smoky Mountain herbal chew and nicotine patch works like a charm.

Because I Dont want to quit today. I want to quit on Friday. I have my mind set on Friday and that's when I'm done. Forever. I'm tired of the hurting gums and waking up every morning with a mouthful of skin floating around. Seven years of at least a can a day was good enough for me. Come Saturday I'll be a day sober

Good choice riverman.. I quit cope cold turkey 5 years ago after chewing 23 years. Be prepared for mental and physical torment for a week till that nicotine drug gets outa you then its a mind game from then on . As mentioned already , that smoky mountain herbal snuff is a great replacement . Try to order a log online as it may not be available in most stores . You will get sick of the herbal snuff in time but will get through the tough times. I disagree in using any nicotine patch or gums to help ..it just extends your suffering longer ...best of luck bro

Good Luck to ya. I never set a day when I was going to quit. My 8 yr old son did. I was putting a dip in and he said, "Dad I wish you would quit". I looked at him and said "when this can is done I'll quit". After 28yrs of rubbin snuff I quit the next morning when that can was empty. That was 7yrs ago this month.

I don't get how anyone could chew that crap. That has to be one the most disgusting habits. I wish you all the luck in the world to quit.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. People that Dont dip have no idea what's its like just thinking about quiting. Makes me nervous but I'm 100% set this time. I got maybe two pinches left in this can so that's all I got for tomorrow. Then Friday comes. The big day. I can't wait

Good luck riverman , I need to do the same thing. Just haven't gotten the courage up to set a date yet. I think one of my downfalls is that I'm good at hiding it. I stick that cope right there in my fat cheek and rarely if ever spit. So its pretty convenient to do it anywhere. No one knows I'm chewing. But I have to admit that I scare myself sometimes when I wake up at night, put a chew in and go back to sleep. The stuff really has a grip on some people and I'm one of them. So I know what you mean when you say the thought of quitting scares you. Hope it goes well for you.keep us updated, you might just motivate an idiot like me to finally quit.

Be sure not to flip out on those you care for !!

Staying busy is a good thing...but that only lasts for a while.. It will not be easy...but if you stick with it...you will win !

Best of luck brother....

Just prayed for you

good for your choice...but you will have to give up the nicotine patch...do it a little at a time. You will still go through withdraw however.

THAT'S the truth!!! My wife has been on me for years to quit. I've had the habit for 17 years. I just bought a log today, but I'm going to log off here and google some images of mouth disease and cancers. I quit for 3 months (but considering I started back up, I guess I didn't really quit) back in 2004. I think it's time to quit too. So, Friday? Is that the day? I'll stop with ya. Anyone else want to quit? We can have the only forum on the web with a bunch of really [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] off quitters. HA HA!

Hey the wagon has plenty of room.

Grab a seat, we can win this war.

I actually just quit on the 15 of this month. My can ran out at about 10 pm and I thought to myself what the [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot] why not, and if it gets too bad I can always buy a can. The next day stopped at the gas station and insted of chew bought a pack of gum and some sunflower seeds. The first 5 days sucked for me my mouth started to hurt places I never noticed before had a horrible headache but I just kept thinking if this is all the worse it is I can do this this is nothing I just keep telling myself that it's not that hard and the benifits will far outweigh these few days that suck. I hope I can keep it up because it may not seem like very long since I stopped but I feel very proud of myself each day. Just remember you have to do it for yourself not your kids, wife, family or whoever, but yourself so when things get bad you can't put the blame on anyone but yourself.

Starting anyone can do...quitting is tough..

Its good to set a "quit" day.

You can do it. I was a three pack cigarette smoker and decided it was time to quit. I dipped Kodiak instead of smoking cigarettes. I dipped for many years, then decided to change to chewing tobacco. I chewed redman for a number of years. Then I decided to quit that and went to wriggly's bubble gum. I did that about 12 years or so ago and am cured. I'll have the occasional cigar, but I don't crave tobacco at all, nor do I wish to chew bubble gum - lol.

Good luck

One guy at work had his lower face cut off due to cancer from Copenhagen. Enough to get me to leave it alone.

Paul...three packs a day ?? Wow that is amazing.

Today is my last day. I got a nice one in now. Im not going to lie, I'm really going to miss it. I feel like a drug addict and I think thats exactly what I am. Dip is a drug, and its time to give it up. Tomorrow I will have no dip and I asked my coworkers to make sure they dont give me any if I ask. But Im not going to. Im 100% set on it this time and Im going to quit this nasty habit.
