Huh? Not sure where you came up with that one ksp...lol I hear you guys...my tongue after the 1st week of eating seeds became a bloody stump and hurt like crazy so I had to quit them too...then it was just Big Red gum. You guys have got it beat...proud of all of you!! Just think of all the traps and rifles and trucks you can buy now...Sweet!!

That's the problem Steve, I keep buying things, telling myself it's ok cause I would have spent it on chew anyway lol.

So without reading back are all you guys still hanging in there ?

This being week one and all

Keep buyin em up Outlaw...waaaay better than buying chew...good job bud...you gotter beat!!

I'm one week free for the first time in 16 years......sounds kinda funny since I'm 32 years old.

Awesome job Outlaw...and all you guys!!

Scoot over fellas and make room for one more on the wagon. I am at 72 hours without. And only have had 2 over the last 7 days. I have been intending to completely quite for a couple of years now (probably like all of us). I will say that most of the year, I would use at most, a can a week and during trapping season that would jump to a couple cans a week. I work an office job and don't chew at home but I have always been real bad about it when driving to and form work, etc. Honestly, I think my use has been low enough, that I have not been having much in the way of physical withdrawls, but the mental side is tough. Somebody earlier said its like a passifier and I would agree, maybe even more like a security blanket.

I have more or less been a consintant user for 16 years and it is time to stop. Something just seemed to click earlier this week that it was time to stop and then I saw this thread. Hearing others being strong really helps. I actually still have an open can but have resisted just fine. I have tried seeds before but as other have said, they are almost worse on the mouth. This time I am simply going with mental fortitude. I always knew if I was going to completely quit it would have to be during the spring and not during trapping season. I believe that I am good, but the real test will be next trapping season.

good work vermillion, now prove to yourself how committed to this you are and pitch that half a can. I'm on day 7 going from chewing a can a day for the last 16 years to none....it aint been fun, and its doable. Glad to see you on board bud.

I find myself coming to this post alot lol. It really helps take off the edge a bit. DAY 7!!

OK, so I pitched the open can I had, but really, I think it was better that I had it for the last few days. In the past when I wanted to quit, I have thrown cans away before, but just went out and bouth more the next day or two. Having that can with me and not really being overly tempted helped prove that I have a choice.

when you decide you actually want to quit, then your choice has been made....

Nice work fellers. It's tough but definitely worth it. Im coming up on 5 weeks and saved $550 already, and thats only the financial savings, the health savings are priceless ! Keep your chin up and fight for it

How's everyone doing today, it's been pretty quiet? Going good here, I hope everyone else is getting along just as good.

Doing pretty good. Just gotta stay busy. When I'm bored is the hardest part. I get real antsy lol

Still clean here boys, but after a week, it ain't gettin. No easier...

Hang on tight...Soon enough you will be able to do chin ups.

Trust me...anything worth while is not easy.

You guy's hang in there you made it this far a little farther won't kill you but the chew will . Over a year off it and loving it

Awesome job all you guys...you got it beat!!

It DEFINITELY gets easier. After 2 weeks I seemed to pass a big hurdle but after week 4......there was no going back. Being bored and drinking were the biggest challenges.

If you can resist the urge to "just have one" you'll be fine. Have the self discipline to say no and you'll be ok. Great job, guys.

Dang 47 you quit too? Awesome....good job!! Every day gets a little better til you don't miss it at all...you guys can all be proud of yourselves!!
