Bear with me the next few weeks

[bdoughty]

I have been off caffeine for 15 days now and I just decided to stop dipping cold turkey, TODAY. Snuff is getting way to expensive and after 25 years of dipping it was simply time as my gums were continually hurting.

So if anyone has some handy ideas to help me with the quitting of snuff, I would apprecaite any suggestions. Right now I only have sugarless gum. Can't do sunflower seeds due to the salt and the fake dip is as bad on your gums as the real stuff.

I know this might not seem thread worthy to some but it will give me a place to vent during the upcoming weeks.

1-A) Drink Water

[bdoughty]

Drinking plenty of water and the only other thing I drink is G2 (the low calorie Gatorade).

[psusnoop]

I have been battling with snuff for a long time!!! I have been chewing for 20+ years and Copenhagen has been continually raising in price and $3.29 is the cheapest right now. My son, now going into the second grade has learned exactly how terrible it is to chew and I have been given a really hard time now by him which is tough.

This thread could be just what I need to help me break my Coke (psuexv knows I hammer that SODA hard) habit and the snuff too. With NCAA just getting ready to release I need to think long and hard about quitting ASAP before it comes out because I find gaming and snuff to go hand and hand.

Ya, too bad you didn't choose weed as your bad habit. You could quit fairly easy. I smoked everyday for 7 years and quit once I got married. I was 'moody' for a week or so but that was about it. Easy.

:) that was a bad habit as well as a few others but once I got married I quit that for the most part......but dabbled here and there occasionally when the mood was right. It's now been almost 3 years since I have done anything in those lines, no pun intended. Mostly it would be a long weekend at a camp party or something.

Because I would be dead from a heroin overdose. Yeah, I would be one of those addicts. Fortunately never touched the stuff or any other illegal drugs. It's the legal prescription drugs that can really mess you up, even when gradually tapering down. I did that with Effexor XR and I wanted to hide in a closet for a week.

Yikes. My brother has the same type of personality. Was a cop and got hurt on the job. Had to take Vicodin for an extended time and became an addict.

Gaming and snuff
Browsing TGT and snuff
Waking up and snuff
Lesbian porn and snuff

About the only time I did not want a dip was when I slept. I will gladly support you if you choose to quit. Was a Copenhagen man for 25 years, the last 10 I switched to Copenhagen Long Cut. Price on average is $5.50 a can in Texas, due to our sales tax. I can find it for under $4 but requires a trip to Kansas. I am a 2 can a day dipper and this will save me up to $300 a month.


Edit: Interesting that you mention your son. You could bring him into this. Since you would be saving money you can tell him that he can have "insert whatever kids that age play" after 30 days of no use, for his encouragement. Might be a teaching lesson in the somewhere and he sees firsthand how life will be better without all that money spent on tobacco.

I'm about every 3-5 days per can so it wasn't to bad but I'd also leave chews in for long long periods of time.

At that price I'd be going crazy, but I know I used to say at 2.50 per can I'd quit and now I've paid 4 bucks and never thought twice.

[bdoughty]

Getting ready to play some Fallout New Vegas, first thing I did was look for a can. I just bought some Life Savers and will just spit out the juice in a cup, just as I would when dipping.

[steelerfan]

I pay $20 per roll (tax included) for Skoal Xtra Long Cut (Mint). I have changed over the years to whatever I can tolerate that is the cheapest. Right now, that is it.

[SmoothPancakes]

Whew, thank god I never got caught up in that stuff. I have bummed a cigarette once or twice while in college, and I will sit back and enjoy a nice cigar once or twice a year, but never got snagged by it. My vice is liquor. I love me a glass of scotch, brandy and cognac (of course, I have to have a taste for the expensive stuff :D) to sit back and enjoy now and then. I figure I'll die poor, but I'll die happy. :D

I never got snagged by painkillers, but when I broke both bones in my left arm during football back in high school, and had surgery the summer of my freshman year in college, I took the prescribed painkillers probably a little longer than was necessary. And if I take Tylenol for anything, I pretty much require a minimum of 3 Tylenol each time I take some for it to have any effect whatsoever on me.

[baseballplyrmvp]

i tried a dip once and i nearly threw up.

use 2 pieces of gum. chew one up and then put it in the spot where you put your snuff. then chew another piece regularly. it'll fool your mouth into thinking that you have one in and you'll kick the addiction easier.

That is what I am doing with the life savers but yeah I have some gum I was planning on doing that with (putting one where I chew). I am staying away from that nicroette gum, that stuff is a expensive.

I'm that way with Sprite right now. I gotta keep a 20 oz of Sprite around to drink throughout the day.

[ram29jackson]

I quit smoking over a year ago. Just cold, no gum or what ever. If you need to quit,just quit. No replacing no altering, no in place of this or that or what ever. Just quit because you should.

Your body may do some weird junk for a few months after but that's just what has to go on.

[bdoughty]

You are a better man than I, in that regards. I am weak when it comes to my addictions. I need something to fill the void. I also need someone to stop me from a late night trip to the convenience store.

I am glad I have stayed away from all of this stuff as I have gotten older. I have a severely addictive personality so I try to avoid most things that I can get addicted to. My dad drank so much that he would have died because of his liver if he did not die in the fire like he did. Yeah Snoop, kids are really good about telling you the things you do are wrong. I cannot tell you how many times my older son has told me I was speeding as we were riding together. :D

Yeah my son is all over me for not buckling up before backing out of the driveway these days!!

I'm going to try and jump on this thread after this can of snuff.

I also have a very very addictive personality RYBY. Gambling is also a very big vice of mine. :)

Well gentlemen, I'm all in. A couple weeks ago my buddy turned me on to the documentary (call it what you want if you're skeptical, whatever) "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" and I watched it on Netflix.

Basically, it shows a few people do a juice fast for 60 days with some staggering results. The two that are mainly profiled lose between 80 and 100 pounds each in 2 months. My buddy said he was going to try it and, after watching, I told him I would give it a go too.

Fortunately, I'm not on any medications at all (the guys on the documentary were both on several) so the "Sick & Nearly Dead" part doesn't apply to me - not yet anyway. However, I need to lose a bunch of weight. It wouldn't kill me to drop 100 pounds. I haven't weighed myself in a long time but I'm generally around 350. At 6'5" I've always carried it fairly well (as well as one can carry that much weight) but my age is starting to catch up with me (I'll be 40 on April 20) and that is changing.

It's time for a change and this is the route I'm going. Day 1 is today (Monday) and I'm going to go weigh myself today so I have a point of reference.

My friend (who could probably stand to lose 50) started last Tuesday. I saw him Thursday and Sunday and could see the difference in just those couple of days. He said he felt like shit for 2 days but each day since has been better. Now, after 6 days, he's already feeling better than when he started.

I'll be drinking 12-16 ounces of fruit and vegetable juice (from a juicer) 5 times a day and drinking lots of water. That's it. It's gonna be tough but I'm determined to do it and when I get "determined" shit gets done.

Here we go!

The key is if it can work to suppress your appetite. If so, then it won't be so terrible. Do you have "cheat days" or is it 60 straight?

With enough water intake, the hunger should be manageable. My buddy, who is now on day 7, says that and I can see that already.

It is 60 days straight. No food.

I know I could probably get by with coffee and no food :D that's a good suppressant. I'm not sure about juicing though. One of the bouncers at the club did a diet similiar to that but there were some days where all he would eat is apples. Specific things on specific days. He lost over 100 lbs. too.

[psuexv]

The big thing will be after the 60 days. If you get all of the weight off but continue your old eating habits then it will be right back. It'll be good to get it off but really have a plan for afterwards.

Good luck buddy.

I can honestly say though that I never pictured you at 350, your internet weight was about 225 :)

Good to know that I weigh less online.

Thanks and yeah, there are several routes I can go after the sixty days. Good thing is I have plenty of time to decide which one is for me. Right now I don't want to waste brain cells on that, I need to get the sixty days done first.

[steelerfan]

Well, I'm almost done with Day 2 and I gotta say it's not that bad. I haven't felt crappy at all and I want even hungry when I woke up. The hunger throughout the day has been manageable, nothing I can't deal with.

Awesome man! Keep it up! I'm working on losing weight myself, but not going as drastic. Just a good diet of foods not loaded with bullshit and exercise. Lost 20 pounds already in about a month or so, like you, I could easily stand to lose a 100+ though.

Yeah man. I haven't felt this good in probably 5 years (when I put on the last like 50 or 60 pounds that pushed me to 330).

[steelerfan]

Update.

I had enough of not eating after 17 days. I started eating again 6 days ago but I'm just eating 2 vegetable wraps per day which total around 900 calories per day. I'm still just drinking water.

I was a bit nervous to weigh myself, fearing I may bring the weight loss to a near stop by eating. However, I lost another 7 lbs which brought my total to 28 lbs in 23 days. I'm really happy with that because I LOVE what I'm eating and I didn't want to feel like I needed to change it up again.

[psuexv]

Nice work bud.

Was it the not chewing, not really feel like you were getting anything to eat? I know my wife just had jaw surgery and she said that's the worst part, she never really feels content because she doesn't really chew

[steelerfan]

Thanks, brother.

Really, it is the constant feeling of not feeling content as well as the mental part of it. Now that I'm eating again, I never feel hungry or like I'm lacking something. On top of that, as I mentioned, I really enjoy what I'm eating.

Basically, what I'm eating:

Burrito sized flour tortilla
Whipped cream cheese
Greens (buy these bags of various "power greens")
Tomato wedges
Red Bell Peppers
Diced green onions
Matchstick carrots
Honey mustard

I make the honey mustard using fat-free Greek Yogurt as the base (instead of mayo) and it is DAMN good. I will mix it up occasionally by adding garlic salt and/or avocado to the wrap. I'll also, sometimes, replace the honey mustard with pico de gallo. I can stuff those damn things with veggies and keep the whole thing to 400-450 calories. I typically eat two a day and enjoy the hell out of it. I'm going to roll like this until I get bored and then I'll start mixing in some other stuff (mostly vegan).

[bdoughty]

Tried this once with Salad and Cottage Cheese. Failed after about a month but I also dropped a few pounds. I hate every most every vegetable but lately I added V8 Fusion Light to get a few extra servings of fruits/veggies. I have cut out the cokes to one or two a month but still dipping like it was going out of style.

[psusnoop]

Coke is my worst enemy, I DRINK about 2-3 cans of soda a day and most days I drink 0 glasses of water.

I keep saying in going to switch that ratio but just haven't done it yet.

[JBHuskers]

Coke is my worst enemy.
