Thanks Everyone. Day 3! I'm feeling the pressure now. I snapped at my wife this morning over something stupid, feeling agitated and a bit foggy, but I'm pushing through it. 'bang head' I'm excited to get through this nicotine detox shit and never have to experience it again. Thanks for all the support. For so long that lipper felt like my little buddy. it went from being a companion to a needy little SOB, and started to control so much of my life. I am excited kick it to the curb. After I get through this fog I can devote the energy that I used to spend on thinking about the next chew, and hiding my addiction from my wife, on more important things like my marriage and my son. This part sucks though!
Stick with the One Day At A Time (ODAAT) philosophy and you'll get there. It may take awhile, but never lose sight of why you came here in the first place.
Here's a tip since you mentioned that you snapped at your wife.......

GET HER IN YOUR CORNER.....

she better know that you are quitting and that your moods will go up and down for awhile (and that it is not just you being a pr*ck). tell her everything, make her your top supporter. If you hid it come clean, if she knew then really let her know that you are serious this time and make sure you involve her in everything. Tell her the stories that we have here, heck let her read some...A wife can be the biggest help as even if she cannot, she can say "get your as* online".

you will do this, I have no doubt.
hell man we got a hole seckshun on spousal support somewares round here. get her readin it. let her chanel her dissapointmint in to the support you need. it will also let her no you arent gonna be a dick hole for ever. well any more then you were afore any ways.

Hey brother, WELCOME! I chewed Cope Snuff, and a can a day for nearly 20 years! Today, I'm 35 days quit, and it feels damn good! The first week is a bitch, and sucks, but you have to get through it; and most importantly remember what you went through, so you don't go back to day 1 again! One Day At A Time (ODAAT) is all we do here man, and it's a lot easier to quit today, rather than quitting down the road! Lean on this website, lean on you February 2016 brothers and sisters, and remember the true reason why you wanted to quit! Quit for you and nobody else! It's time to say fuck you nic! I quit with you today!!

Thanks for your posts. I posted roll today! Day two and going strong. In the past I have usually caved at around a week to two weeks. I am dead set on being free for the long haul this time. Thanks everyone for your support. Looking forward to loosing this crutch.
All you have to do is post your promise first thing in the morning, be a man of your word for the day, wake up and repeat. You will BLOW past two weeks if you follow that recipe 100% of the time. You've got this dude, stick with it.
KingN is right....

but for now, just think about today. Get through today now that you have given your promise. When you wake, make that promise again and just worry for the day.

Just one day at a time, each and every day

A great decision for one.

For two now comes the time to jump in. Now comes the time to look yourself in the mirror each and every day and just say No for 24 hours. Then come on here, and give your oath and promise to your group and new friends. That is right, new friends. You will find that by having others in your corner and by your side to help, that you will make it a success. You will grow to learn what your word means and the power it has for yourself and for the others.

You will find that we will be here when you need, when you are feeling your lowest. You will also find that when you are strong, that you will be here to help others the same.

So leave the past in the past, move forward each and every day to learn about the poison you used, to learn about yourself and how to handle the daily stress. And to learn how you can and will live life without the crutch, to make yourself healthier and happier with that wife and little one.

Be good, be strong, and you will do it.
yeah what you said lol you said that a lot better than me thanks man

My tips are 1. Post Roll 2. learn that this is an addiction we share and not a habit 3. Learn to HATE dipping, nicotine, and everything associated with it 4. Drink water and exercise 5. Do it again tomorrow.

Go to the February 2016 quit group, post roll - your promise to yourself and everyone here to not use nicotine for 24 hours. Post again every day when you wake up.

Day One
« on: November 03, 2015, 12:31:00 PM »
I Have made the decision to quite yet again. I have been hooked on Copenhagen for nearly 10 years. Yesterday my wife found my spitter that I had accidentally left in her car. She was unaware that I was back on the chew and it hurt her deeply that I would hide this from her. It really struck home then that my filthy habit affects more than just me. I have a 1-1/2 year old son that I want to be around for, and I don't want to have to explain to him why I am spitting in a bottle or why I am always sticking this nasty smelling crap in my mouth. I have tried to quit before with limited success. The longest I have gone is a few months but usually I can only make it a week or two. I am sick and tired of being dependent on nicotine. Its amazing how it can start to rule your life. I am open to suggestions and tips for quitting. I know I am going to have to substitute something to replace the oral fixation. I have ordered some Jakes Mint Chew. Does anyone have experience with that product or other products? I am not looking forward to the mood swings from the nicotine withdrawal but I am preparing myself mentally for it. So here it goes, day one of the rest of my life.
