I need to and want to quit dipping. Has any body here done it and how

I did about 6 years ago which was about the 10th try, cold turkey. It's a tough cookie to crack, even now if someone is dipping in front of me I want some but I haven't slipped and I even dream that I'm back doing it. I was doing about 3/4ths of a tin of Copenhagen when I finally had enough. It's powerful stuff! If they told me I only had 6 months to live I'd go out and buy a case of it and dip my brains out. Good luck.

I quit 5yrs ago this month. I only tried to quit once. The only thing I can tell ya is you have to want to quit. If you're not sure,then you won't quit. The first two weeks were the hardest, after that it was smooth sailin' for me. Good luck to ya.

I've quit a couple of times, once for about a month. I kicked the physical craving for nicotine in about 3 days. The BIG problem is, you are gonna need something to REPLACE the habit with. If you've chewed for 30 years or so like me, and then quit, it leaves a big hole in your everyday routine. Sucking on Jolly Ranchers and Fireballs is not only bad for you (possibly worse than tobacco), but just doesn't cut it in the long run.

I truly wish you well, and I hope you have better success than I did!

It will be 2 years for me this July. I chewed over a can a day... I quit cold turkey but it was something I wanted to do. I work shift work and set a date to quit. At first I just wanted to go 12 hrs or one shift without a dip. I did it and had a dip. The next challenge was 24 hrs. After that I haven't had another since. After a month it became a lot easier. However, as mentioned above if I was given the news that I only had 6 month's to live I would be having a dip! I also read about quitting on the web several month's before I quit. That seemed to prepare me for what to expect. Good luck to you in trying to kick the habit.

I quit about 10 yrs ago....third try. I used "Mint Snuff" and it helped with the habit of having something in your mouth. The nicotine urges are not fun....was in a bad mood for a long time. The urge will never trully go away, I could go to the store and start again right now....but you have to have self control.

I used Jakes Mint chew. That solved the habit. Go online and look them up. Cost is very reasonable. It is a little messyer than actual dip but you can get it in pouches and they have a bunch of flavors.

Hmmm ... never heard of these herbal chews before. I might just have to look into that. I can usually do OK once I'm past the first couple weeks. But I always end up with some kind of "stuff", be it work, home life, etc, etc ... that puts me over the edge to buy a can of Cope. Once you do that ... hang it up, you are hooked again.

Regarding quitting ... it is tuff!! I have dipped Cope for +35yrs. I have quite a several times ... problem is I have started one more time than I have quit. The last few times, I used some of those Nicorette type lozenges. They really help the crevings, but are pricy and I kept popping them like candy. And OMG ... do them things give you gas!!!Not only a lot of it ... but some dang raunchy smelling stuff. We're not talking clear the room smelly ... we're talking clear the first floor of the house smelly!!

I think I will look into those herbal chews ... thanks for the tip.
