I quit chewing one year ago today. While at work I spit my chew out, went outside and threw my can in the ditch behind the house, and told myself I was done with that shit. I can hobestly say I have not missed it at all.

Congratulations! I've tried but I become a real asshole without it.

Nice dude! I have a few friends that are trying to kick the habit and having a hell of a time.

Congrats I'm in the process of cutting back. Had one today for the first time in two weeks.

I literally just put a chew in right before I read this. Between training newbs at work and remodeling the house, I've been chewing a lot. Twice as much as usual. I do need to cut back

Long drives can do it. Many years ago I had quit for 3 months, until a buddy and I decided to go to the Cabelas in Kearney, NE. My buddy fell asleep while I was driving, back on the wagon. I knew I was done when I made the drive to MT, waterfowl and turkey seasons with no problem.

I quit once and after 2 weeks the wife said you're a asshole - go ahead and start again.

Oh, but good for jerry, congrats.

Congrats

Nice job man!

Road trips were the only hard part.

I still nom on a cigar once in awhile though.

Gotta make yourself some allowances.

Congrats man, know I felt so much better all around after quitting.

congrats dude, i'm on 3 months myself now. quit cold turkey, been feeling great!

Tobbaco use is not healthy

Congrats man.

I never did get into the smoking/chewing, tried it a few times as a kid, old man caught me and kicked my ass. That ended that.

Very cool. If you can make it that long, you obviously can live without it. Keep it up.

Honest question, why do you all feel the need to "quit" tobacco?

Can't you all just moderate yourselves, have a dip, cig, cigar, whatever here and there?

i can moderate cigars and cigs, but not chew. the habit is so far ingrained in me at this point that i don't even realize i've taken a chaw until i've had it in for an hour. i don't really smoke more than once or twice a year. i would like to have pipe tobacco with my coffee, that would be good.

and i do feel way healthier, even though i now have thoughts of killing the shit out of dumbfuck assholes i come across day to day.

John for me it was hard to moderate dip because it took my mind off of the idiocy I felt with on a daily basis. I dipped a can to 2 cans a day for 8 years, it took everything I had not to buy a can when I was at the store over here. Cigars and pipes I can go months without but dip was extremely hard. I cut back a significant amount but after a while it was just pointless to keep going. I quit as soon as I ran out of the stuff you sent over here. The tobacco overseas taste like shit no matter what kind you get.

The key to a long life will be for you to figure out how to control those thoughts, and eventually totally be in control and not have them any more.

eh, retirement is over-rated anyway. do you think i can make it to 50 before the stroke?

I can have a cigar on occasion, after 18 years of chewing there is no way I could moderate. Never have smoked a cig.
