Trying to quit dipping and only focus on cigars

[Tyrod]

I have been dipping for about a year and really want to quit so I can focus on cigars only. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about quitting. If nothing else accountablity would be great. Just let me know if anyone has any ideas about quitting I would apprciate it

I wish you the best of luck. I've been chewing Copenhagen for 20 + years, its one heck of a habit to break.

I dipped snuff from the time I was 13 untill about a year ago (I'm 20 now). I just straight up quit. Everytime I was at the gas station and wanted to buy a can I bought a pack of gum instead. Granted in the first two weeks I chewed a shitload of gum, it was worth it. The main reason I had to quit was cost.

$6 per can x cans per day= $84 a week on snuff

Have you been trying to quit? If your ready to quit I am sure we could help each other out by holding each other accountable for it. We both know it's a hard habit to break and will most likely not be done cold turkey. I plan to slowly but surely lower the number of times I dip each day. I guess I will have to see how that works.

Good luck with quiting. I stopped several years ago but occasionally enjoy a dip for various reasons, but You can stop, I promise you will find a way. and just think how much more of the slope will be available with the extra mooolllaaa!

I've been chewing snuff for a good 30 years. I tried to quit a few times and people begged me to start chewing again.
I'm convinced that the only way I can quit is if I kill myself, and I have too much to do, so that's not gonna work either.
I hope you can come up with something, cause it's tough.

I quit, what I did every time I wanted a dip was smoked a 5 Vegas shorty. They are quick and take the nicotine want out of it. Slowly I just stopped thinking about dip and thought more about cigars. I eat a lot of sunflower seeds and chew a lot of gum takes the oral fixation out of it.

Gum and sunflower seeds helped me quit Copenhagen was a dipper for 17 years. Told the wife I would quit dipping if the money I saved went towards my Harley. She agreed and I quit. already have about 3k saved towards the bike should get it soon.

Go online, find a picture of someone with a tounge or lower jaw removed, print it, cut it into a small circle, and place it in your can so you have to go under it to get your dip.

Every time you want a dip, just take a dip of dirt straight from the ground. Really. Try it a couple times.......


Hoping you quit!

Cigarettes are hard enough to quit,I think Clem had the right idea.

Someone start a "Quit Dip" support thread in the general discussion forum.A bunch of us did a thread for quitting cigs and I think all of us actually did quit.

"Copenhagen, what a wad of flavor.

Copenhagen, do yourself a favor, chew

Good luck to the fellas wanting to quit the dip.

From a post in a thread from last year:
I chewed Skoal for 40 years. Quit 3 years ago. It was $.25/can when I started and, I think $ 4.25/can when I quit. I love Skoal but dare not take even one dip or I would be instantly hooked. I guess the main reason I quit is it bothered me that it had such a hold on me. The only time I didn't have a dip was when eating or sleeping. I even used the little "baggies" when my two daughters were married so I wouldn't have loose stuff on my teeth. I was really hooked.

I have zero cravings for it now but I think, when they wheel my bu** into the care home, I'm going to have a roll of Skoal hidden under my "blankie".

I quit cold turkey. After 3 days, the physical craving was gone. The habit of having something in my lip continues to this day. I use mint chew from Oregon Mint Snuff Co. (around $2.00/can and lasts me a week or two) when I get the craving to "pack". Otherwise, I chew gum.

There have been several threads on quitting chew. Good luck quitting. I've read where chew is as addictive as cocaine. I believe it. Anyone who can quit dipping has my respect.

I've got to give it up too. Got a kid on the way and the wife says no more. Plus, it's just nasty and not good for me. Personally, I think it is more addictive than cigarettes. Good luck to us all.

i was a part of this group-had a few "slips" in the beginning, but going strong now-a lot of people substitute something for what they're quitting, for me i used cigars & took up pipe smoking-now i use nasal snuff when i can't smoke, works well for me-people say it's just as addicting, but i can take it or leave it, might work for you too-good luck
