Hello, I am new and trying to quit Chewing Snuff

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 1

I am the husband of live4myboys and am 37 and have been chewing snuff for about 8 years. I work with someone that chews and someone that drives me nutttttsss! My job can be hectic at times. My wife and I have decided to quit tabacco with the support of our two wonderful boys. So as you can probably tell, two people in the same house quitting it can be reeeaaalll stressfull.

Hello there, You are right it can be stressful quitting as a couple, but I think it is a lot easier that way. Hubby and I quit on Jan 01, yes we have stressful moments, but then we are there to cheer each other on. He is on the patch, I am cold turkey. Quitting together is the best thing we could have done and I would not have wanted to quit any other way.

I just have to post..again...hehe! Something that all should know about live2...he is in the military so the last few years have been hell for him. After coming back from Iraq (well even before) all the soldiers, commanders and majors on up have counted on him for alot. He is the only one who is full time in his unit that knows every job there and can do most of them at the same time. He gets tons laid on him and never complains to them about it. He is a good ..strike that.. he is a great soldier. In the movie we were soldiers Mel Gibson says something like... a soldier is only as good as he is as a man. Well Live2 is just that. He gets stressed out at work alot but with alot of support, not just from me cause I would love him either way. But support and guidance from others would help him alot. So if there are any ideas on helping him with his cravings or something else to do when stress hits him at work just kick him in the rear.. you have my permission hehe! RAWK ON! ( I say RAWK ON cause Im from Kansas and the Jayhawk is out school mascot... RAWK CHALK JAYHAWK!)

live4myboys2 Well I'll be dog, Good for you live4myboys2 You are a Jewel!! my hubby still smokes and at night I have to pull the cover over my head to keep from smelling the deep struggled foul breath that comes from the tortured empyhzema filled lungs he continues to contaminate, but now at a slower rate since I have become a non-smoker. He has respect for me and goes outside to smoke. I wish he had the same respect for himself! live4myboys2 ...you need a pat on the back for this so here goes....pat...pat... your children and Your live4myboys will love you much more and the example that you both set now...will go a long way in the future to keep them smoke or substance free. the only good thing about you being ex-users...is that you will know first hand the anxiety that goes along with quitting and hopefully you will be able to educate your children early on to stay away from addictions of any kind....peace and joy to both of you you have made a very wise decision auntdeb :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 22 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,133 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $104.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 54 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

Congrats to you and your wife! Keep positive and take it hour by hour, day by day and week by week. It truly get easier! If you chewed Skoal regular, the wintergreen livesavers taste like skoals wintergreen. Don't know if that would help or not. I quit smoking and used them, mostly because I used to chew skoal, and loved that flavor.

How admirable! So.......it's safe to drink out of the open soda cans in your house without inspecting the contents first? Glad to have you with us!
