Nope, couple cans of fake smokey mountain chew. But I'm over that too, it just made my mouth dry. Have a good day and great job!

Good job

morning boys, I aint substituting anything, I figure if I'm gonna quit and my bodys gonna go through all these adjustments, I'm not gonna tease it with any substitutes, I'm just gonna quit and be done. Nick

Good for you guys not using and substitutes...My hat is off to you guys as I know how tuff it is.

I tried the smokey mountain stuff the other day. Id rather just not have anything, that stuff is terrible IMO. Day 11 here. So far Ive tried about everything as a substitute and I like seeds right now. Just taking it a day at a time

I'M BACK!!!!! I've had a FULL weekend! I had both my sisters' kids with me all weekend. I had them working! Took 2 days, but the garden is planted (huge garden), I taught them how to shoot and how to skin and butcher. My boys were getting bored because I was having their cousins help them and my boys didn't have as much to do. HA HA! My nieces and nephews were having a great time till they went in at noon to eat a snadwich and thought they were done for the day. They grabbed their tablets and turned om some games and even went into my room and turned on my Playstation (yeah, I play games when everything else is done and everyone's in bed). I went through, snatched it all up and sent them back out! LOL! It was great!

Anyway, I was so busy all weekend that I didn't even have time to think about grabbing a pinch! I had a pocketful of Jolly Ranchers but only got one before the kids noticed and I became their best friend. I sent them back to their homes Sunday. I wanted them to go to church with me but there was a schedule to keep. Needless to say, Sunday afternoon it was quiet, and I started to want a can again. I went back into work mode and cleaned the house, cooked dinner, and then just found stuff to do. Today, I haven't even wanted one. I dare to say that the cravings are actually going away! That, or I'm just too busy to care.

keep it up!

Weekend was good, but I thought about it a lot today. Something about rainy days. Haven't been substituting with anything. I will say that may mouth feels so much better, go figure!

I'm with you Vermillion, my mouth feels great, and I'm actually tasting things I haven't tasted for months, but if anything, I feel like the cravings are getting worse....,,,oh well, another day down

when I quit Marlboros I was so suprised how good fried potatoes smelled,

Marlboro would taste great right now..........

I have a wierd feeling I put a few pounds on so far. Been 12 days and I'm lovin it!!

Nine days. Pretty sure I'm good to go but after I eat I reach for my back pocket and it ain't there. Bugs me for about 15 minutes but then kind of get over it. Now I need to kick the other can.

I have gained weight myself, seems I'm filling the void with food, candy and energy drinks. Somehow I'm still saving money, I assume its by not stopping at store to buy chew in the morning. I'm feeling good, think the habit is kicked I'm around people who chew all day and don't want it anymore. Keep it up fellas!

I think about it nonstop, I'm not hungry, and I want it back

Don't give in man, you will want how far you are now, back again someday.

No worries, I ain't giving up, it's a pride thing at this point. I'm glad it's gettin better for you guys. You all are doin awesome

I'm thinkin of jumpin on the band wagon here too boys
I've tried before and failed miserably

My trouble is I work with a few fellow dippers and they always have some on hand when in jonesin for a pinch

So as of about 20min ago I just spit out my last dip

Good work, buck. Most of us are at least at 10 days, and speaking personally, that's going from a can a day the last 18 years, having never even remotely attempted to quit before. So I can personally say it's doable, it sure is heck not a lot of fun, but if you really want to quit, just be done, be miserable for a while, don't allow yourself to bum one, or substitute any other form of nicotine, just be done and quit. Nick

Gents, I stopped over eight years ago and some days I try to convince myself I can have just one dip and be done. Don't be fooled! It's much easier to tell that inner voice to shut the F' up, now but that little voice does come back. I've probably put on 50lbs since I quit. Now I have to fight that battle. Stuff is poison. Wish I never used it. Won't ever again.

For you guys going through the withdrawals right now don't give up the fight. I never found a substitute that worked, but iron clad willpower. Stick it out and tell that dang can it can go plum straight to h..l! In the end you ain't got nobody but yourself in this fight because that's who'll you'll be fighting with. Feed the good side. Set goals and when you achieve them set new goals.
