This sunday will be 3 weeks since i've had a chew.. I read someone's post earlier about dipping and it really got me to thinking.. it has been difficult and i've been chewing alot of gum.. biggest problem has just been staying away from it b/c if i had a bag around me i would most definitely get one... any words of advice??? i want a chew sooo bad, only while im awake!!!!

You are getting there. It's all mental after about 3 to 4 weeks so don't go back.

I wanna try to quit dippin' whenever I get back to the world....wouldnt dream of it now, tho. I quit for a few months before I joined the Army and it wasn't hard at all. Then I got over here and figured 'Ol Haj would kill me before Cope would. I'm so stressed nowadays, I dont think I could do without it.

It doesn't really get any easier... I've been snuff free for just over 3 years and I still crave it every... single... day. Especially in stressful situations. :? :?

Be careful with that stuff. It can really bring out anger and mood problems in some folks.

HAHA not so sure it the chantex doing that... I was ready to beat the crap out of everyone on day 1 - taking chantex. I'm a pretty relaxed person, and it takes a lot to get me pissed. Take away my dip and :evil: :evil: :evil:

I know this will sound kind of corny but brushing my teeth as soon as I finished eating helped curb that urge after meals.

5 days and I will be dip free for 5yrs

Quit smoking 10/9/08
Quit dipping 10/19/08

Chantix, 2 TIA's, 4 nights in the hospital, and 2 kids at the house and you'll learn to deal with the cravings a little easier. Doc said either quit or call a lawyer and finalize a will.

If brushing your teeth doesn't work, try Icebreaker mints. My problem was reaching for my shirt pocket after a cup of coffee or a meal. Strictly habit at that point.
