No more Copenhagen

shvictor · 08-31-2009, 06:00 PM

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

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

Good deal Steve.

larryinlc · 08-31-2009, 06:25 PM

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.

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

AAlmeter · 08-31-2009, 07:12 PM

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.

Rabidsquirrel · 08-31-2009, 07:16 PM

Good luck, everyone.

You could always chew on some asparagus stalks instead.

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

St. Lou Stu · 08-31-2009, 07:26 PM

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.

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

jjirons69 · 08-31-2009, 08:52 PM

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!!!

08-31-2009, 08:55 PM

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

poriggity · 09-01-2009, 12:13 AM

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!
