I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

After at least 36 years, I finally quit chewing snuff.
I did it by mixing my snuff with Mint Snuff (that's the brand name) in ever lowering ratios of snuff to mint. By the time I got to 2 parts mint to 1 part snuff I preferred straight Mint Snuff to the mixed stuff.

I started this effort about 6 months ago, I'm thinking. I failed the first time, it drove me nuts. I just chewed less and less until I weaned off. I couldn't stand it, it made me nuts. I didn't use the Mint Snuff.
With this Mint, I chew much less and don't desire it like I do snuff. I'm guessing I'll just stop chewing it before long.

This took a whole lot of "want to" and an immense amount of prayer and faith that it'd get done. It had nothing to do with "willpower" because I really have none whatsoever. If I had any, I'd have quit years ago. What I do know is that Christ has ALWAYS given me anything I asked for, without fail. This is just another one of those proofs.

Now I just need to not pick it back up. That shouldn't be too tough, I feel tons better and I have plenty of the Mint Snuff to hold me over. :)

Way to go, Scott!:tu

Nice job Scott! I've been going through this battle for the last six months myself. It's an uphill battle the whole way. I have associated it with golf and work so whenever I'm doing those things I want it. The girlfriend doesn't like either cigars or chewing so I had to pick one. Cigars won out. Good luck with battle and switching flavors is an interested idea. May have to try that!

Nice Scott, keep it up.

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Awesome news, Scott! Congrats!

Great job Scott

Good job, Scott! :tu

Pete, I don't think I made it clear that Mint Snuff is just what it says. It's 100% mint, no tobacco.
It has a nice little burn to it and it tastes really good, unlike a bunch of the other snuff substitutes out there, and there's lots of them.
There are "sampler packs" on Amazon that are pretty cheap. You should give it a try.
My neighbor quit by switching to this stuff, as well. We're both pretty stoked about it. :D

Keep up the good work Scott!!!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Congrats Scott!! Does that mean that you can send me those "crazy discounted" Copenhagen coupons now? :D

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Congrats Scott keep up the good work.

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

LOL, I used all of those years ago, brother. I will sell you another wine cooler, though. :D

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Congrats Scott. Not an easy accomplishment by any means. You should feel super proud of yourself.

Kudos!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Great testimony Scott. Blessings as you continue. You have encouraged me in my faith and given me a practical idea to try. Dip has been kicking my fanny for years. Thanks!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Congrats, Scott!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Congrats Scott! Your faith and willpower are admirable for sure!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

That's great! Keep up the good work!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Excellent! Congrats!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Proud of you. Nice job

For me, dipping was harder to quit than cigarettes. I put down cigs fairly easy but dip lasted another year. For me I could dip whenever but only smoke in certain places. Once I finally quit, I have never looked back. Food/cigars/drink tastes better, I don't ever accidentally drink a dip cup (don't act like that hasn't happened to you), and my gums are good again.

Good for you brother, it is worth the struggle

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Nicely done brother!! Keep at it, it gets easier, going on 6 months now!!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Kudos to you as we'll Mike!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Stay strong Scott! You have shown time and time again you can do anything you put your mind to!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

You were mint to quit!

Congrats, Scott!

Great job Scott!!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Ah...I see what you did there :lr

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Awesome, congratulations!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

God's blessings on this, Scott. Will keep you in my prayers that this is a battle that you win for good.

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Trying to quit snuf myself, right now. Been dipping/snusing everyday for about two years now. Definitely wanna stop before it becomes a worse habit. Congrats on your accomplishment!

Re: I Finally Quit Chewing Snuff.
 

Do it asap, Rob. Nothing has ever got me by the balls like snuff. It's insanely hard to quit once it's got ya. The worst thing is that I absolutely LOVED it. It was aggravating some health problems I have and causing me a huge amount of grief. Despite that, I still couldn't quit.
It's the Devil, no doubt.
