I had quit years ago and that lasted for 6 months or better then life showed me back to it. I forgot how horrible a habit this crap is. I'm so sick and tired of being tied to an addiction. been a week now so I'm in the clear if i can keep my mind off of it.
have you guys quit or want to ? what are ya doing to stay off it ?
The lack of sleep from stopping about killed me this week :TR10driving03:
anyway maybe a little support group time. till we start blaming it on Fred. :wtflol:
 
I quit chew 22 years ago still taste it i used cinnamon and butterscotch candy mixed in my mouth. good luck you can do it I chewed for 24 years
 
Wow 1980. Why did you stop then. And to me it would have been harder then because it was easier to smoke everywhere. Didn't they still smoke on planes in 1980 ?
 
I've been chewing 30 yrs....quiting's for sissy's....lol
just messing around with ya...

I wish you the best in your efforts...personally, "I say it's clean" ...Thanks God
 
I haven't smoked a cigarette since the late seventies. Every now and then I'll smell cigarette smoke and think, man that smells good. I quit because I got tired of hacking up green stuff.
 
I keep trying to quit smoking. I want to but then I get tired of trying to fight it. I have decided to give it another go so far Ive been 48 hours without a smoke although I do have a patch on. The biggest reason that I want to quit is I want to walk my daughter down the isle one day and not some other man and I want to hopefully live to see grandkids. My dad died when I was 11 smoked like a freight train and overweight. Ive been looking in the mirror the past year and haven't like what Ive seen so I started making changes. After I came home from the military I drank like fish swore worse than a sailor. Since Im no longer dead inside its time to start living again and make the best of the years, months, or days that I have left.

Sorry about the hijacking of the thread.
 
Quitting

I quit smoking quite a few years ago cold turkey. It turns out that you have to really want to quit to make it work. If you are saying, "I'm trying to quit", you've already failed. You have to say, and mean it, "I've quit".

Yeah, it's tough, but it is doable. I never chewed, but I've always thought it was worse than smoking. Not sure why, but it just seems worse.

My granddaughter wants to put some emoticons here. Here is what she's chosen:

It's a no brainer.
 
Hillbilly, take up a sugarless gum habit. Chain chew gum and you won't miss the cigs. When the flavor disappears, put a new piece in your mouth. Plus you won't want to smoke with the great taste of spearmint in your mouth...unless you liked menthol....then chew cinnamon gum. Good luck to you.
 
For quitting chew, copenhagen actually, I used some fake snuff they sold at kmart. Its chopped up corn silks or some such with mint and a bunch of other stuff in there to give a pretty good approximation. Did that for almost two years before giving it up. Almost as hard as the real stuff. The only thing that kept me from going back to copenhagen after two days was the fact that i knew i would have to go through those two days again to quit.
 
I've been 'trying' to quit smoking for the last few years and a lady friend of mine (who happens to be a nurse) keeps telling me to try dipping to get off the smokes. She keeps telling me that's how she quit over 15 years ago, but I can't do it that way. I keep telling her that I have a feeling I'll like it too much and just pick up another (possibly worse) habit. And that is the reason I never tried dip/chew in the past. I wish I had that kind of preemptive insight with cigarettes...

Anyway, happy New Year. And for what it's worth, I haven't had a cigarette in all of 2012! Actually, Nicorette helps--you might give that a try. Just don't get any of that generic Wally World brand crap. Nasty!

Good luck, God bless.

Best way to quit smoking or chewing, don't buy or beg the stuff. If you don't have them you can't smoke them. Figure up how much you were spending a day on smokes, times that by 385 days for the year and buy yourself something you have been wanting for a long time but didn't think you could ever afford it.Do this at the end of the year. Put the money in a glass jar and watch it grow every week. This is not counting all the money you save by being healthier and living a better quality of life. Thats my 2 cents worth.

Quit smoking so you can walk your daughter down the aisle and be around for the grand kids. Quit now while you are able to do it on your own terms.
