Good luck, I can't stop for any considerable amount of time

12 days here. Cold turkey. Been dipping for 23 years. Just did 3 days at hunting camp. If you put your mind to it and quit obsessing over wanting a dip, it's easy. Not very easy but it can be done.
Stop messing with the gum too

It's basically coffee dip pouches. Give 'em a go if you need to have something in your mouth to kill the craving. Other than that, stay busy. Be around people who find it gross...which shouldn't be hard. After a couple days you'll start to forget.

Drink lots of water, regular gum not the nicotine stuff, sunflower seeds and carrots for snacking

6 days for me, the first 4 days were the hardest. I was a contankerous sob. What keeps me going is all the money im saving. Good luck

Make sure you are having a lot of sex so you are not too irritable.

Quit chew cold turkey quite a few years back.

I'm trying to quit smoking, and went out for the first time last night while trying. It was fricking rough.

A girlfriend gave me this when it was a sophomore at LSU Sean Marsee's smokeless death
Then quit putting it in your mouth.
Then quit buying it.
Then quit bumming it
And fight the urge when drinking, knowing it will be coming.
It's hard for a while but worth it.

I dipped for 15 years and got up to a can and a half of Cope everyday for the last 5 years. I had leukoplakia that the Doc thought was cancerous and had a biposy, was put on Wellbutrin and other medications to help me quit and I never did. Nothing worked period.
10 years ago, I looked at my wife before bed and said this is my last dip and I am quitting. I discarded the empty can (I used to dig in the trash after previous quitting attempts to find half full cans). I went to bed that night with my gums feeling like old wilted pieces of leather and my wife doubting me once again.
I stuck to it, had the jimmy legs every night for three nights and acted like a little slap happy teenage bitch. Not sure what made me do it after so many failed attempts that included a cancer scare and prescription meds, but I did it and I am so happy I am free of that massive addiction. I go hunting and fishing with friends who dip and do not even miss it.
Good luck OP, if you want it then you will do it.

I had to modify a 12th Step Program to quit.

Did the same last year after chewing for 30 years. 12 months and counting, cold turkey. But I tell my wife all the time I could pick it back up tomorrow and not miss a beat. But not longer worth the health risk, only thing that keeps me from picking up a pack.

Today makes a month for me. Cold turkey. Still get cravings, especially while hunting and driving. Mind over matter. When you realize it's just a habit to throw a dip in, it's easy to beat. Instead of taking a pinch, get in the habit of chewing gum, or sunflower seeds. Good luck

Walking around without a jaw is a nice deterrent

Thanks for all the input. Will definitely try those things. I'm finding that the best thing that's helping is thinking about my 2 yr old son. I don't want him growing up associating the smell of dip in my mouth with his father.
