That does sound interesting. Of course the cayenne pepper would probably set my allergies to screaming, but...might be worth the risk. B)

The beef jerky's working pretty well so far. I spent a couple hours working in the yard after work tonight with a nice wad of jerky in my cheek, and didn't have any desire to pack my lip. It's almost like going back to Red Man, but will a better flavor...and no spitting. LOL

Thanks for being there today, guys. I've got a John Wayne movie in the DVD, a cold beer ready to go, and another hunk of dead cow to chew on. See you in the morning for roll call. 'Popcorn'
which John Wayne movie?

watched the new version of True Grit last nite with the fam......while it wasn't bad....

nobody says "Fill your hand you son of a bitch" with as much contempt and disdain as the Duke.....R.I.P.

Taz, I mix Hooch Spitfire with Young's Chew and it's almost identical to the real thing. Also, the Mint Snuff or Smoky Mountain pouches are great for on the go and easy cleanup.

Do whatever it takes, just as long as it's not the real thing.

Thanks for the responses, guys, both public and PM.  I'm kind of at the point that I'll try just about anything to kick this...I've been chewing gum like a fiend for the past two days and my jaw is killing me. 

What are your thoughts on the mint alternatives?  I keep finding myself reaching for the can (that isn't even here) and it pisses me off when I don't have it right there. I'm thinking that if I had an alternative to replace the Copenhagen it would go easier.  Wish I could find that Jerky Snuff they had years ago...I'd be all over that.  LOL

Well...I stopped off at the store and picked up a big bag of beef jerky and I've been sucking on a wad of it for the past 20-25 minutes. Doesn't help with the head, but at least I'm not looking for a can anymore. Speaking of the cans, I did actually pull them out of the trash...and dumped them down the garbage disposal, never to see the light of day again. Take that, bitch.

'na na'
Good job getting rid of everything tazmed. We've all dumpster dove for a dip before.....sad but true.

Besides, it does a mind good to watch that bitch go down the drain.

Go for alternatives. Anything to keep nicotine out of your mouth. Get through this 1 day at a time. It gets easier on the other size.
I bought Smokey Mountain from Wal-Mart and kept it laying around...just in case. Knowing it was there was my parachute. Used it a few times at work where I am surrounded by dippers just to get through the crave. Amazing that once it's in...you really don't want it.

Anything is better than caving to the nicotine and going back to square 1.

Tazmed - there are times in life when we all must make a decision. Here, the decision for any quitter is whether we choose to live free or die. You, like those before you here, chose the former. Congrats. It is an honor to be quit with you.

It's good that you still have a sense of humor, especially for the next few days. Re-read this in a few weeks and you will laugh even more, because you may see yourself as one of those people that were too foolish to get out of their own destructive way.

Glad you're here. We all want you to succeed. I'll quit with you today!
