I quit using the patches about 2 years ago.
Worked pretty well but honestly you never really stop wanting it so be prepared to deal with that for the rest of your life. It does get easier of course as time goes on.
I am only 25 so I don't have a huge amount of chew hours logged but I started at 15,I would chew a can to a can and a half a day. Last few years I started getting acid reflux very bad from it. About 3 months ago I finished a can and said I'll never do it again. So far I havnt craved it or even thought of buying a can. I do crave chocolate very bad tho and that isn't helping my struck diet at all.
Copenhagen straight? And yeah I know guys I've been only doing it for a few years and do love it..I just know its such a nasty habit! Started it in high school and always done It ever since. Also since I'm an aas user in rarely ever drink alcohol so it's kind of like my thing. Damn guys...like to see other dippers perspectives
I started dipping Copenhagen long cut the day I got to my unit and was hooked. Quitting took me two years after I had decided to. It was rough but it tore my mouth up so I had no choice, loose my jaw or kick the habit.
It's hard for me on my cut to not throw in a fat chew during my low intensity cardio. I will say that there is nothing better than relaxing after a workout with a dip in to really think about what you accomplished. Mostly grizzly or skoal extra for the price, but hey, I'm only 19, what do you expect
