[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 92570, member: 3373"] Quit a year ago on Jan. 1. Second time quitting for me. Just got to the point where I knew it was doing harm to my body. Quit cold turkey. Not sure it's the best for everyone but I just got stubborn and every time I felt the need for a chew I refused to give in. Maybe being stubborn isn't all that bad. I did put on a little weight but part of that was I didn't exercise as much as I should. Am to the point now where I never have the desire for a chew. That wasn't a 1 week process. For me, probably at least 6 months before I lost all desire. After about 2 weeks the physical need was gone, the psychological need remained the longest. Good for all of you who have quit. Once you're over the habit don't give in and tell yourself that 1 chew won't hurt. For me that's all it took after going about 5+ years without a chew. 1 led to another and then it was back to a regular habit. I told my wife that once I hit 80 I'm going to start again, what can it hurt at that age. Not true, once you're over the habit it's not needs feeding. [/QUOTE]
