Awesome post, convinced me to flush my last cans down the toilet. Here comes day 1.
I quit cold turkey over 3 and a half years ago (after chewing a lot daily for years and years). Then about a month ago I up and decided I wanted a cigarette so I pulled into a gas station and sure enough they had a pack of Lucky Strikes, three cigarettes later I was chewing Cope Snuff again. I went a month, they by chance I saw my closest friend in the whole world (we see each other maybe once every few years or so). The day after seeing my friend I remembered why I'd stopped so I had to dispose of my stock.
Sometime tonight will be the 72 hour mark. Scared myself how fast it came back and how much I liked it. Figure I'm done for good this time.
Those little cans rolling down a hill would have been a fun target if I wasn't so mad at myself for starting up again.

I'm the same way man. Go get you a can of Smokie Mountain chew for when you're on stand and such. There is no tobacco or nicotine in it, it's just corn silk and cayenne pepper. But it really helps with activities that you're used to having a dip to perform. I still have to use it to fish or play golf.

I'm lucky - I tried like the dickens to chew when I was a teenager,and I'd puke so bad everytime, I just couldn't get my stomach to stay down with the stuff. Smoking the same - makes my sinuses go ballistic everytime I try it. Now if someone is putting a chew in next to me, adn I catch a whiff, my gut jumps! And I've watched more than one friend rot away from cancer due to it. Just ran into my best friend's brother - has cancer from chewing and starts chemo soon. Please stop guys - life's too short as it is.
i used to use a can of cope a day..
I stopped and every time i wanted a dip, i would throw in a handful of sunflower seeds.
After a few days, i didn't want to eat another seed again.
Kind of like shocking your dog when he does something he shouldn't, associate the behavior or desire with something that is a negative punishment.

Howdy all, new to the foums and would like to Thank y'all for sharing your knowledge, skills, and experiences.
My uncle quit smoking back in 2004 thru an herbalist. The trick (according to the herbalist) was that you could trick your body with Vit C (chewables) into thinking you just smoked a cigarette. I guess nicotine and Vit C use the same "carriers" in the body (??). I do not know for sure if this works, but my uncle quit. I figure even if the herbalist told him and it was just a placebo, it worked for him and he had smoked for over 40 years.

So toss your stash and quit. I decided 2 weeks ago to quit and the first few days sucked something feirce, now I don't want a chew. I keep sunflower seeds handy as I'm still getting over the having something in my mouth 24 7, and that's getting better everyday.

You still have a few valleys to go. About every 20 days you will hit a hard spot up until about day 200. Then it starts to get easier.
