I started out at 15 pouches per day (a whole tin...mostly because I would do two at a time). Last week I went down to like 10-11 and this week I am at 6-7...it is going well so far. Either late this week or early next I want to cut to 5 then 4 then 2 then hopefully 0. It may take a month or so but if it works it is worth the wait. Thanks for asking.
That's not even real Nicotine. That's nicotine flavored candy. Go get you a can of Copenhagen original and dip a can and a half a day. Then try quitting that. I thoughts cigs was tough. But I whooped them both. Cig free for 7 years dip free for 7 months.
Honestly Hank, how I quit was I became an oral hygiene fanatic.
What I mean, is I would get a dip craving, and instead of in packing a hawg nut, I would go and brush my teeth.
And would keep a dozen cinnamon flavored toothpicks in my pocket. Always picking.
Sounds like it's more of a physical thing. Are you a fidgety person...? Meaning do you always have to be doing two or more things at once?
Can't drive without talking on phone, or dipping, or both?
I am, ADHD perhaps? Don't sweat it if you are. Ole' Hillbilly is your run of the mill Multi-tasker, over achiever. And I where my ADD patch with pride. And with this personality it is really easy to over indulge.....
What I'm saying. Don't use it as a crutch, and it won't feel like such a vice to let go.
Stick with the quit. You need some more cigars?
See you have to find another bad habit to replace it with:p
