I used to chew tobacco!!!!

Remo · 11-26-2013, 01:51 PM

I am just gonna post this now although technically I still have two more days until the year mark but I think I will make it. I have not bought a can nor even had a chew in 363 days!!!! Saving me approx. $2,300 over the year (although I did spend some $$ on cigars). My lip, gums and teeth thank me, I think I can consider myself an ex-chewer!!!

My sense of smell and taste has improved!! Cigars taste better and the stronger ones really kick my @ss because I don't have all the Nicotine in my system at all times!

Hey man, good for you! That is not an easy thing to give up and should be a testament of what you can set your mind to.

22 years and went cold turkey, feels good

Good job Mike, congrats on the milestone. I've quit on and off since high school, just can't seem to shake it for good. I think it's time to try again!

No one can make you, just gotta decide to do it and do it, if u want

but it appears that it can be done, I thought there was no way in hell I could quit! And cigars do help with the Nicotine fix

kelmac07 · 11-26-2013, 02:37 PM

Congrats Mike!! Still going strong after 36 years.

Dude Here · 11-26-2013, 02:53 PM

Congratulations man, giving up the nasty tobacco isn't easy but it's definitely worth it. Plus, like you said, more money for cigars!

Summer 1984 I was on the baseball Field at St. Bernard high for our game. Had a chaw in and started to load more....

tossed it out. Tossed out the pack in my back pocket. Went home tossd out the case or 2 I had in the house.

Never chewed again ....

Damn I miss it and can still taste it when talking about it ..

Good Luck keep it up,

Rob
