I'm determined to become a minimalist....get outside more....camp and hike a lot more. These things feed my soul....and my soul is hungry.

Duuude, really? That stuff is nasty. I stopped smoking with Chantix. Don't know if it works the same for oral tobacco. There is a stop smoking thread on the site. Lots of support. Do it!

JDeere · 12-20-2014, 10:38 PM

No there aren't any medications for oral tobacco, my doctor looked into it for me.

This might be helpful. It meets the psychological need that can help with quitting. Like those vaper things for smokers:

Anyway, I don't mean to get the thread off track.... but, I have to tell you that getting rid of nicotine in your life is a real freedom. I miss it, but life is better.

Good luck to you.

Bumping this to say that I had another epiphany and an intention in the grocery store. I wish it was to eat healthier (ain't that always on the list?), but it came when I was reaching for some celebrity magazine. I've gotten into the off-and-on habit of reading those things ever since I worked in a grocery store and lived for Fridays, when the new issues come out (except they aren't really new...).

I thought "What am I doing?", and went on shopping. Instead of the latest Kardashian krisis, I bought Discovery and Astronomy. Both of these have much more to do with who I am and what I love to do. I think of it as health food for my brain. And besides, I already had a great idea: a display labeled "Exoplanet Of The Week" (Exoplanets are planets that revolve around some other star in the same way as we are finishing a trip around the Sun).

Not that I've given up reading fluffy stuff by any means, but I need more than that. It's bettering myself.

They have something made out of mint that is like Copenhagen,I had a friend that used it to get off oral tobacco,he said it tasted like spearmint chewing gum.Yes,it did help him quit the oral tobacco and he still dips the mint chew but it is better than Copenhagen.

Okay I will look into it next time I go into the store.

My resolutions are often mantras and here are mine for 2015

- Work harder
- Be nicer
- Don't puff out, but don't shrink away either

I'll probably add a couple more after the Chinese New Year.

In the process of cleaning out some of my old thread subscriptions I came across this thread, and was reminded of my post in December. The first of June marks 6 months since I've had any soda, other than 1 mug of root beer. I'd say I am done with soda. I have also lost almost 30 pounds.
