Thanks bud. Yeah I'm a bad addict. Everything seemed better with snuff. I work within oil industry and everybody chews, plus I fly fish for trout and hunt big game and small game along with trapping And they all seemed better with a little tobacco. I think about all the exercise I get and healthy foods I eat,but that all gets canceled out while I'm still chewing
Let me help you out a little. First of all I'm 50 years old dipped 38 years! And just like you eat healthy worked out all going good no high blood pressure no cholesterol problems and then July 7 2013 massive heart attack. My heart doctor tells me damn you lucky to be alive! So I ask him I thought I was doing better than average so he ask all questions I answer no to everyone. Then he says what about tobacco? Why hell yeah doc gotta have 1 bad habit huh? I dip he says not anymore if you wanna live. Blood vessels constrict blood pressure immediately rises exerting or exerting yourself at just right time bam! Small blood clot which would have been minor problem without the nic bitch changes my life forever! All that to say get your ass in here lets get you started on a nic free diet! Post roll edd,odaat! I use baccoff fake snuff. Damn proud to be quit damn sure couldn't do it without my brothers and sisters here!
Look at it all this way, tobacco certainly helped with curbing your appetite and the nicotine in your system would have increased your metabolic rate as well. So yes it helped keep weight off, but a cancerous tumor can grow from anywhere inside you from any organ that finally gets tired of fighting off cancer. Or final weight loss could include half your tongue, bone density loss, tooth loss, gum disease, cancer is scary shit. I am still an addict, I dipped for 24 years, which was 2/3 of my life, I quit 585 days ago and I am still scared of the poison I coursed through my body for years.

Finally, I decided to quit and though harsh and hard at time I can say with no reservations that the KTC method worked and has been the only real quit I have had. I stopped a few times before but this time I quit.

Look all over the Forum site and the main website there are several documents to help you quit, but you need to want it bad.

When I was a baby I was weened off the tit, and to this day I am still fascinated with tits, so it is my opinion that weening off of anything does not work.

You have some badass quitters reaching out to help you. I hope you see through the fog and get this monkey off your back before it is too late.

Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

You aren't a bad addict, you are an addict. So am I. It doesn't make us bad people, just people who cannot control our use of nicotine. I learned so much my first month of quit about who I am as an addict, and still do to this day.

thanks guys and you're both right. I have been reading the forum posts today. Only reason I haven't read much was because I just found the site last night. And had to phone interviews scheduled for today in North Dakota. Just finished one and the other one was canceled and rescheduled for monday. I'm trying to find which forum I post role in. And just so you know I just dumped my can of snuff and got rid of the other two I had in freezer. I guess cold turkey it is and I'm going to look into some herbal chews.
You know what to expect because you almost did it yesterday, but failed.

Today you'll do it, but this time you'll be making a promise to yourself and us. It truly makes a difference! Drink water, exercise, and use the LIVE chat feature here as well today. Get through this week and live your new life.

It's scary.
Hell man, I felt like I was giving up part of my life. A part that I loved and needed in order to feel normal... To be... Me.

That's all a lie.

Your real life... The real you... Is just a decision away.
Make that choice and own it like you've never done before. It's not easy, it's not fun. Brother... It IS worth it. I chewed 2 cans a day for 25 years. If you want to see an absolute junkie... I'm him. April 17, 2013 was my day 1... Just like you're doing. I owned it. I wanted it.

I still own it. I still want it.
Get involved and stay involved, dude. You will never regret it.

Ever.
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Buff....Welcome. This is the place that can help you through quitting, but I think you need to spend some time reading and thinking and planning first. I've only been here a few days on my quit, but I've spent a lot of time reading and thinking about my own 35 years of excuses etc., and I hear all of them in your introduction.

My lip hurt, so I decided to stop (and what happens when it heals?)
Quit three times already (why is this one different?)
Unemployed (what's your plan for dealing with being home and bored?)
Massive headache (what's your plan that doesn't involve nicotine?)
You admit to finding this site but not reading a bunch of posts. (why should people here put their faith and time into you if you admit that you haven't (or won't?) put your time and faith in them?

We want you to succeed, but get your head straight and know what you want before you give us your introduction and your word, because this place is like Hotel California...don't come in unless you plan on never leaving.

Hope that helps.

We recommended that you gather up all of the dip in your house, car, bedroom, and double secret hidey hole and flush it down the toilet. This is a quit cold turkey board, and brother, you almost made it yesterday.............

It sucks, maybe up to a week it sucks donkey balls, and then you are free. We can only help you if quit 100%, and right now. Read the Welcome Center, and learn how to post roll call. Get some phone numbers of people to text. I am 45 and used for 17 years, PM me if you want me digits. But dump the shit out now.

I decided yesterday when I woke up that I was quitting snuff. I tried cold turkey and went from chewing three to four cans a week to absolutely no snuff at all. Ithink was the spur of the moment decision due to my lip and tongue hurting badl. So I made it till 9pm last night and a massive headache cam on me I dealt with it for an hour before caving. I ended up having one chew yesterday and I think I'm going to try that again today. Maybe ween myself off over a few days.

What do you guys recommend? ?

I am guilty of just finding this site and not really reading a whole bunch of posts. I've quit chewing twice before and like a moron started again.

IM 41 years old and chewed from the time I was 12 till 2003 and quit for five years that time but started again in October 2008 And chewed until 2011. That time I quit for two years but started in 2013 and have been chewing again ever since.

Its either I'm getting older or snuff ingredients have changed; my mouth has really gotten tore up and sore and I'm like enough is enough. I've been thinking about quitting since New Years but have lost my job and I'm still on unemployment unfortunately. So I decided last week to join the gym and have been going every other day since then. Having this forum this time should help me stay off permanently. I don't want to chew snuff anymore I eat really healthy foods and have been in the gym pretty much my entire n life. I'm dedicating myself to this new year and making the healthiest ever.

I'm all ears to any suggestions on helping with quittin. When I quit previously I ordered some herbal chew online and I think it was called Eagle something out of Oregon. Anybody got any other suggestions. And should I move this to another sub forum here?

Thanks,

Jason
