Quitting Smokeless: Revisited

Many of you know I've tried to tackle this terrible and disgusting habit. Well, once again I quit prior to 2007 and today is:

Day 9

Please follow along as my goal is 100 days and from there I hope to be done for good.

I'm heading over to my Dad's today which is a trigger for me as I know he loves to shove beer in my face. Good thing is, I'm leaving my wallet at home, minus my driver's license.

Thanks EF! The day went well, couple of craves, but double bubble handled them quite well.

What specifically are you doing to help yourself stop? Never been into this stuff or smoking, but as far as my diet goes, I've been relying heavily on mints the past few months. Anything like that helping to keep you preoccupied?

I quit smoking recently and I've been using the Commit lozenges. They are working great. I would guess they would work better for someone quitting smokeless since you park the lozenges in your gums. BTW, they work 20 times better than the gum for anyone else that hasn't tried them.

Thanks... I chew gum like no tomorrow. The biggest thing for me is to stay away from spicy food and alcohol - HUGE triggers for me.

As for the gum and lozenges, I don't want any nicotine in my system at all, although cold turkey is rough, I prefer that method.

btw,

Day 12

Felt like getting a can last night as the wife and I had an argument that really ticked me off. Anyhow, made it and I'm on two weeks today. Should be a fun weekend.

Not a bad day yesterday, although watching the playoffs makes it tough not to think about a nice fatty in the 'ol lip.

Hmm..for some reason I never think of smokeless tobacco when people talk about quitting. My wife's mother has cancer and still continues to smoke, probably because it was low grade lymphoma and stage 1 breast cancer, so she sort of "got off easy". Good luck and keep up the work, hopefully quitting now will head off any bad stuff that can come up as a result.

It's actually huge as there is another message board and website dedicated to quitting this nasty habit.

Appreciate the vote of confidence!

Keep it going Todd - your thread last year helped me keep to quitting cigarettes: only fair you should get the benefit as well

Keep it going Todd!

I have tried to quit smoking numerous times over the years and always get back to it.

I may just have to start one of these dynasties. Maybe being embarrassed by the fact that I start a "I am quitting!" thread only to go back to smoking in 3 days will be enough to get it done!

I quit 3 years ago after 12 years of a can a day habit...

Either way GOOD LUCK

Suck it up, man. It's nothing when compared to the pain involved with cancer of the mouth.

Tigers are on tonight. Big chance for a big win! Really looking forward to watching them.
