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.

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.

Way to go Steve ! ... Keep it up
:-)
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

Congratulations, brother!!!

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.

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.

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

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.
