No more Copenhagen
 

Well i finally quit chewing thur after 25 plus years. Its harder then I thought it was going to be. Not so much the physical addiction but the mental one. I still reach in my back pocket for my can 50 times a day. But as the old saying goes, I'm just trying to take it one day at a time :tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck to you, Steve.
Time to kick it.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck to ya Steve. I've been chewing Copenhagen for 31 years. Definetly a hard habit to break.

Bust of Luck to You:tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Way to go Steve!!! if you need reassurance call sometime!!

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good deal Steve. :tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Boy, I've been down that road. Fear got me to quit. I started having these unusual red rings on the inside of my mouth. My doctor told me it was more than likely caused by any one of a number of unknown bacteria and not by tobacco. Still, FEAR did it for me. Good luck. It's the harderst habit to quit because it's so easy to use.

Nobody likes a quitter:td

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Gratz, I quit then get back on all of the time. It's hard to quit for good.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Keep focused on the extra money in your pocket and extra years on your life. Been dipping Cope for 10 years, a week from this Wednesday is my quit date...we'll see how that goes.

Good luck.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck, everyone.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

You could always chew on some asparagus stalks instead.











Seriously, good for you Steve, you'll be better for it.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck bro... I know how ya feel. I kicked it a couple of years ago and kept a can 'just in case'. I realized I was done when I felt the need and put in a pinch from a 6 month old can... that sealed the deal.
Tasted like beaver droppings... the wild kind, not the good kind.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good work Steve. Hope it gets easier as time goes by. :tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck, Stece. Had a buddy who lived off Copenhagen for 10+ years. Slept with it! He kicked it!! Lord knows if he can, anyone can!!!

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck. Addiction is a powerful force. Just take it one day at a time and keep smokin those wonderful hand made vitolas!

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good Luck Steve! I quit that stuff a while back and it was hard. I actually slipped up and had some a few weeks ago, but I haven't had any since.. Its not easy, but I know you can do it bro!

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Great job Steve! Wish you the best in staying off it.

When I started back in the day it was $0.25 a tin. When it got to $0.55 I gave it up cuz it cost to much. :D

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Positive thoughts for you brother. You can do it! :tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

congrats! I quit a few months ago and has been going pretty well so far

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

I'm in the process of getting off of it myself. Hardest thing I've ever done. I've been using some sort of chewing tobacco/snuff for about 30 years. Good luck bro!

I'm using this to get over the habitual part of it.

I gave up a serious Red Man habbit back in the early 90's when I started getting black spots in my mouth ...It was Haaaard, And to this day I still look long at those pouches ...But I don't think at this point in life I want to walk around with a cud UNDER my teeth :D

Hows it going Bro?

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good for you Steve, now you will have more money for smokes.:ss

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Congratulations, brother!!! :tu
I've been dipping or chewing scrap since I was about 8. Gives me about 34 years.
I love it. It totally owns me. I tried to quit a couple times. It'd be easier to quit being stupid. :)

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good Luck MOBS!!!:tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck and you can do it:tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

I chewed Skoal for 40 years and quit 5 or 6 years ago. When I started, it was $.25/can, too. However, I still use Smokey Mountain (wintergreen) fake chew. I kicked the physical addiction but, I guess, not the "habit". When you've had a "flavor" and a "lump" in your mouth for 40 years, it's hard not to have something in there. Gum only goes so far.

The best advice I can give is: never, ever say to yourself, "well, that was easy enough to quit, I think I'll just have a "celebration" chew." Bam, you'll be hooked, again. I no longer have the urge to buy a can of real chew but still like the flavor and feeling the fake stuff gives me.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

I have been using the Smokey Mountain. It seems to really help.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Good luck with it. From watching a friend of mine who dipped since he was literally an early teen, it can be a challenge but is certainly doable. My pal has been Cope-free for about ten years. He'll go through a large bag of sunflower seeds during a baseball game, though.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Its been a week today...Getting easier

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Keep it up, Steve. Best of luck on the journey. :tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Watching your progress close!!!! Great job so far Bro!

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Week and a half now. Woot woo. My gums feel so much better these days

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

In time, that dry, rough and leathery feel of the gums will subside too. That's when your dentist will thank you. :tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

:gl Steve. I can't chew the can stuff but can do snus.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Everytime I see this thread I think of jeff foxworthy

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

How's it going Steve? I'm 15 hours and 8 minutes away from my quit time. I'm really feeling anxious about it, and I'm really hoping that the nicotine replacement therapy will keep me on an even keel.

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

Going great. Will be two weeks on thur.. :banger

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

That's awesome Steve, keep it up!:tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

How did it go? Its now been almost 2 and a half weeks for me. :tu

Re: No more Copenhagen
 

That's great Steve :tu keep it up.
