Keep working at it Jim!! You know the best things in life aint free.

I would argue that being tobacco free is a "Best" thing. Matter of fact, Copenhagen is one of the few things I still enjoy in life. Long live USTC!

4 months so far and I'd do anything for a big fat pinch right now.
Brad, I think you said you quit too....how long has it been and hows it going?

I've been a year since Nov (I think) it may have been before that. I used the Chantix, and I still chew the candy stuff... but I have no desire for tobacco anymore...? I don't know if the chantix did that, or the "candy" ...? Before when I quit even smokers made me want to start back up... this time its nothing.

Wish I could take some kind of self control credit....

oh chit,... I guess we know better though huh?

Im using the candy stuff, but some of my friends said I'd get hooked on that.

Well they werent lying. The thing is, it's an oral fixation of some funk. Chew Copenhagen for almost 30 years and you just gotta have something in your lip.

Congratulations to y'all. Out of all my bad habits, tobacco was never one of them.

I kicked alcohol, caffeine,& salt. The caffeine & salt was at the same time. Gawd was that rough!! I used to drink Mt Dew from 2 litre bottles & would literally drown my food with salt.

Now I'm done with pop. Just started that one this past Saturday. Yesterday was rough. Today not so bad so far.

Alcohol was the easiest. I just quit. April 15th will be 21 years.

Good for you Jim, You too HaMaR!

Bout 3-4 months is all I can do without the dip then I fall....Jump off the wagon!

10-4 on the Oral fixation! What the hell is that about? Without the tabacco an old truck tire looks good to me!

I'm impressed with you guys.

The only thing I have been able to quit so far is sex, and that is only because my hobbies cost so much that I can't afford it anymore.

HaMeR · January 19, 2011, 06:36:14 AM

shaddragger · January 19, 2011, 09:41:46 PM

Don't give in, Jim! Yesterday made 7 years off the smokes for me. If I can do it, you can too!!

msmith · January 24, 2011, 07:22:20 PM

14 years next month for me and I could very easily take a fresh can out of the freezer and put a big ol juicy dip in right now. I have never got over the craving but it has gotten very easy to deal with. When I chew gum, I usually end up putting it in my lip at some point. As was stated, it is amazing, the grip that Copenhagen gets on ya.

HaMeR · January 24, 2011, 09:30:45 PM

Grab yourself a bag of rootbeer barrels & pinch em in there Jim.

FinsnFur · January 24, 2011, 10:07:06 PM

Rootbeer barrels, oh man I love those things too.

HaMeR · January 25, 2011, 07:34:01 AM

Picked me up some at Cabelas Subday. They are the good ones too. Not those crappy medicine tasting ones.

Never know. They might help you out in a

pinch.

Purdy bad huh??

FinsnFur · January 25, 2011, 06:41:02 PM

yeah

I had to read it twice just to make sure.

HaMeR · January 25, 2011, 08:22:41 PM

I thought it was bad right away.

vvarmitr · January 26, 2011, 02:04:36 PM

They sell subs at Cabela's?

FinsnFur · January 26, 2011, 08:12:10 PM

Oh my gawd!
