I've been chewing for roughly 40 years. Quit in '94 for seven years, but the temptation of the "new" Copenhagen Long Cut became too much to resist. So have been back at it straight again since 2001. Problem is I just love the stuff...when I'm driving, after dinner, before bed, just about all the time. My day would start by spitting out last night's chew, brushing my teeth, taking another dip and having a cup of coffee...only got worse the rest of the day.
So I am 50 hours into this, and going nuts on the inside. Toothpicks are my placebo, but not quite cutting it. Got a full can and a partial in the truck, right outside my window. I know that seems like a stupid way to quit, but I work with lots of people who chew, so if I can't quit with it always available, it ain't going to happen. And I hate bumming off other people!
I looked at a couple of the documents on this site, and they are spot-on. That damn can has had a firm grip on me for too long, so I am determined beat it for good this time. Wish me luck...I will let you know how I make it through the week.
