Need to Change

[Wedge]

Hey guys my name is josh and I have been dipping for the last 12 years now and been about a can a day for the last 8 years. I started when I was 16 and was playing varsity sports for my High School. I thought it would be "cool" to be like the big leagers chewing and playing baseball. But recently my wife went thru a scare with breast cancer and I do not ever want her to feel the way i did during that whole processs. Starting today I am puting my health and family first. 1 question I have is that like most users i have a oral fixation. other then gum and seeds what have other people used to calm the cravings? Also when doing something you always chewed during what are you thinking about while doing these activies? For me its when i am at work and spraying fairways on my golf course. Thanks for any helpful advice, I am glad i found this website and am going to be leaning on this site heavy for tips and help when i am having bad days.

Glad to have you Josh. Check your Inbox (1), sent you a note.

As far as what to do during an activity that you usually chewed....remember the fact that you posted roll that morning. That you promised your quit group that you wouldn't put any trash into your mouth. They are going through the same feelings and cravings that you are.

Welcome man, Lean heavy on this site. Go to August, post roll and start getting to know your brothers in there, they may save you life one day. POST roll every day and promise just for that day to quit. If you don't like seeds or gum, man try candy or food. If you put on weight oh well, you can address that later. PM me if i can help in anyway.

Ok Turfie you are the last newbie on the list today

So here it is ..... this is going to suck ass for awhile. So strap in. I have tried all the herbal stuff and Hooch and Smokey mountain are the best. Now as for other suggestions
1. drinks plenty of water
2. exercise ( get a good sweat on)

These help with weight and detox

3. Hobby - find something to keep yourself busy
4. Support- use the site yes but find someone or many someones that you can talk to
5. Diary - I keep an online journal of sorts here. It is nice to just put down your random musing

Now most important part of the program... the key....
POST ROLL
QUIT FOR TODAY
REPEAT

That is it ....simply as fuck......... and the most difficult thing you will ever do in your life but YOU CAN DO IT

Josh welcome aboard! What a great choice for your health. This quit has got to be mainly for YOU. I don't know how many times I've tried for others or other reasons they never worked. I can feel the difference this time. The oral fixation for me was maybe even more difficult than the addiction its self. I hate gum and seeds. I have been using the fake stuff: started with mint snuff then tried several smokey mt dips. finally settled on smokey mt. wintergreen. after 40 days I'm getting tired of it and have backed off but will keep it around for those rough triggers that make my craving rage. One thing I have found the cravings are becomeing shorter and less frequent. Prepare yourself for the 1st week it sucks. Read everything you can on site, be active, Post early EVERYDAY!!!!! No excusses. ( unless you are dead)

You are in August quit group go to the welcome center and read how to post roll.
NOW GET YOUR ASS OVER THERE AND POST remember NO excusses.

Josh there is alot of help here, send me a pm anytime you need help or have a question. Id be glad to share #'s also

Welcome to KTC Josh! I am on day 3 of my quit after roughly 20 years of 1 can/day of copenhagen. Here is what I have been doing so far and it has been working rather pleasantly. I had my wife go buy a shit ton of the different flavors of extra "dessert delights" gum. I think i keep 5-6 packs with me at work. I also went and bought some smokey mountain herbal snuff that has really helped with the oral fixation. To me the wintergreen almost tastes real, however, keep in mind that I chewed cope so if you chew Kodiac or Skoal Wintergreen you might feel differently. After reading through the website and looking at the different alternatives I have also ordered Hooch herbal snuff. This is supposed to be really damn close to the real thing.
So, (after a long winded paragraph) this is what I do

When I get a craving, I put in the gum. I chew the gum for as long as possible (usually until the flavor is gone and then some more). After that, if I am still craving a chew, I put in the herbal snuff until I want to take it out.

I haven't had any massive cravings so far, my problem was the oral fixation also. I had to have something in my lip and candy was not doing it for me. I don't use seeds much because they tear the hell out of my mouth. Anyways bro, this is what has worked for me so far but I am sure that many more guys will give you some other great pointers. If you need anything or any help, just PM me bro! We are all here to help each other.
