I am on day 12 after 40+ years of dipping 'hagen. I am trying the nicotine gum approach. Like you Christopher, I was dipping about 1/2 can per day and am chewing 15-20 pieces a day and hoping to cut that back even more in the next few days... I really comment you Murphy. I can't do the cold-turkey method. My biggest problem besides poor sleeping is I keep biting my darn cheeks and tongue... retarded gum chewer... lol Best of Luck Gents, Mike Christopher and Murphy,

The 17th of March was my 3 month mark, off Cope/snuff/tobacco - but I am still using nicotine replacement (Commit lozeng), so that is still in process - cutting back to zero. My goal is June 12th (the end of the school year) The biggest temptation for me is when I go out! Luckily, not often do you see guys taking a pinch out on the town - unlike cigs... Good luck!

No aids, just picked a date, outlined five reasons, and stopped. 35 years of chewing. Once I hit the 72 hour mark, I'm even more motivated to continue because the research shows me that the nicotine is gone and now it's mental (like the associations). God's best to anyone trying. My mind is swinging wildly and I'm having some drowsiness issues but as that elusive 72 hour mark nears I'm finding it more conducive to stay focused. And Matt, thanks for the stats. The information infuriates me for my willingness to subsidize them all these years and the information further motivates me to stay the course.
