okay i quit in June, so i will join in here. I did skoal for 26 years. Some times more, some less, but aside from getting stuck on an island with no skoal for a week 21 years ago, i cant remember another day i didnt dip. About 2 years ago, i just decided to do once a day. so i would chew only once at nite, sometimes i would chew for an hour or more and repack it a couple times, so i probably got a lot of nic, but i did shock my body around. i used a piece of nicotine gum once and then helped that one day, but i didnt really need it.

this spring i was traveling a lot, out of normal hours and drifted into doing more again. last week, for some reason i started mixing it up, going back to once a day, but at 4 say, instead of at nite. 5 days ago, it was 1130pm and i had not chewed yet, so i thought why bother? the next day, i said lets see what another day feels like,

today is 5 days and i really have had none of the first 3 day problems except lack of sleep, can't sleep more than 4-5 hours a nite, takes a long time to get to bed. that is really not fair as when your tired your willpower is down.

I didnt really plan to quit skoal. i thought i might feel like it once a month or once a week occasionally. that is probably heresy here, right. but i was searching for how long it would take to cleanse the body of nicotine (3 days) and found this site. So, seeing as you'all were quitting completely, i decided to give it a go, on a day by day basis.

So not other problems, made it through some emotional/stress triggers and habit triggers with the help of Bacc-Off. I remember when i first bought Bacc-off thinking of quitting, i dipped some and thought, wtf is this? no buzz? But now i am not expecting the buzz, and it works, in some ways it is a better chew than skoal itself.

good luck everyone, i am doing fine, but i could use some frikkin sleep,

I had 1 small dip left on Tuesday June 01, 2010.Ã,  It was getting late in the afternoon and I didn't want to go to the store for a new can.Ã,  I had the last small dip and fell asleep with it in my mouth.Ã,  I woke up and for no particular reason (aside fronm the fact that I have been a slave whore to snuff for the last 24 years) I said to myself that is enough! I will never put that shit in my pie hole again.Ã,  On about day 6, I found this site and began reading.Ã,  So far I have had suprisingly little difficulty.Ã,  Although, I am embarassed to confess that I dipped coffee grains on about day two (A trick I learned in the Marine Corp years ago).Ã,  To eliminate the caffeine, I started dipping decaf-tea the next few days.Ã,  I feel like a sterno bum but at least it is not tobacco.Ã,  I have been quit for a whole week now.Ã,  I dipped about a 1/2 can a day for 24 years.Ã,  I have never quit for as much as a day in all that time.Ã,  I want to live free of the chains of addiction.Ã,  I will.
