The only sensible comment you have ever posted to date. You have turned over a new leaf as you promised in the Penalty Box.

I chewed tobacco for 10 years.  Skoal straight was my favorite too.  When the poker boom hit, my addiction really took off.  I quit chewing once for almost a year before I picked it back up again.  Literally one day I said enough was enough.  I just quit, and havent had one in over 5 years.  I still have dreams where I have a chew, and wake up in the morning so disappointed in myself for breaking down.  Only to realize it was a dream.  I still have cravings from time to time as well.  I really loved to chew.  But I am glad that I dont anymore.  If you really want to quit, you can.  If you are not into it 100%, you will not make it.  I didnt do any gum or patches, just quit cold turkey.  I would suggest sunflower seeds as an alternative to tabacco.  BOL

I've been chewing a can of skoal mint a day for the last 7 years or so. I'm going to quit for good as my new years resolution. I've found that beaver chew really helps. The oral fixation really helped me quit for a few months earlier this year. I got drunk at a baseball game and fell off the wagon though. Buy 10 cans of beaver chew and use half beaver chew half skoal and slowly ween yourself off.

Dude best advice you will get.

GET THOSE E-Cigarettes.

You can actually quit with these. They are cheaper too than that ridiculous habit. That shit makes the chicks run too man, take my advice.
