I'm pretty sure I did it!

Today is Sunday, and I haven't chewed Skoal since Thursday at 11:30 a.m. I'm just keeping all you peeps posted. It can be done. It wasn't really that hard to break the habit, but I still would have a tough time turning it down if someone offered....

Great job maing. I'm going on a month alcohol free. Next step is Cope. I may need to go to Costo to buy a crate of gum so I don't eat myself into Tucdom.

I can tell that it's something I'll always fight. This is going pretty good for me now, though. I didn't have the ability to make it through an afternoon at work without chew before. Now, it's been 4 days, and I have it in my mind that "I don't chew". Starting up again doesn't even seem like a possibility now.

it never does, till one moment when it feels right...certain things triggered it for me...

You haven't hit the hump yet. The withdrawal stage, nor have you passed the psychological longing stage that persists long after the physical.

I was a chain smoker and when I quit it took over a year to not get any cravings when people around me smoked. It was psychological.

I would take up chewing on toothpicks or buying lots of bubble gum.

Chew is very strong stuff so don't say I didn't warn ya.

way to go, I hope that you stick to it

^^^^^ Listen to SoKlue, nothing worse than when a friend hops in your truck and pulls out his mountain dew bottle to spit in the fucker the whole time. VERY annoying and smells like ass

Absolutely! I went cold turkey. Last Thursday, I had about 2 dips left in my can, and I just said to myself...."I'll be damned if I'm gonna go lay 5 bucks out for another can of this shit". I figure I was spending over 100 bucks a month on it. That's actually what did it for me, I think. Not only that, but my girl doesn't think it's all that cool. Whenever I think I want a dip, I just think about all that stuff, and it usually gets my mind off it.
