Quitting the Can

[AlwaysGigEm]

When I was dipping I dipped skoal mint pouches. I had to dip pouches cause I needed to be able to throw it to the back when a customer needed help. I probably did 3/4 can a day.

When I quit, I quit cold turkey. Day 1 was easy. Day 2 was a little harder. Day 3 I became irrationally angry and short tempered. After that the need wore off and it became less with each passing day. It took about 6 years for me to no longer want it when friends were doing it. Its been about 8 years since I quit.

I much like the rest of the stories on here used to dip. My wife discovered we were pregnant (8 years ago) she stopped smoking cold turkey. So for the next year and a half she kept on me about my can of snuff a day habit. The way I quit was fake snuff mixed half and half with my real snuff. I thought I was going to develop a strong drinking habit in its place. Eventually I was able to stop. I can still watch some one cut a fresh can open and my lip will go to watering.
