So my father was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, he has been a dipper since he was 12, he is 60 now. I picked up the habit when I was 18 and I am now 31. I decided to quit for my kids. I don't want to put them though what I am going through with my dad. This is hard on day 5 of hell week, a lot of the helping info is more towards smokers and designed for smokers. So if anyone has any info they can pass along that will help someone with chewing tobacco I would greatly appreciate it.

No one else has this question

  Yes, a majority of the people here are quitting smoking so much of the content posted in the community relates to quitting smoking. There is the Chewing \ Smokeless Tobacco and Tobacco-Free Pouches group where there are some posts by other people who chew or previously chewed. The whole community is focused on quitting nicotine so no matter the delivery method you may find advice applicable throughout the community for avoiding cravings. Think about how you can apply the principles to your quit journey instead of excluding the info just because someone who previously smoked, posted it.
  
  As indingrl mentioned How to Quit Chewing Tobacco, Snuff or Snus is available for you in the non-community portion of our site.
  
  There are also some posts from Mayo on the topic. What about Chew? Search Results | Mayo Blog | Chewing
  
  Or you might find posts across the community as well: Search Results | EX Community | Chewing

Maki reply says it all I think.......once we get rid of our "delivery method" the problem becomes the craving for nicotine. So read some of the blogs mentioned and read all of us. We are all just addicts trying to be free.
So very sorry about your Dad......quitting smoking cigarettes or chewing or any addiction that rules your life and ruins your life is a decision you will never regret.
WELCOME. Stay Strong.

  Great to see you Sootie Maki ≠ Mark. Maki > Mark is probably more accurate!

      Sootie the way to get an "AT" mention for Mark is to surround his name in quotation marks ('cause he's that special!) e.g. @ "mark" (no space between the AT symbol and his name.Sootie When you do that his name will be on the popup list. There are a zillion references to this. Just type "quotation marks" in the search bar and you will see them all. Where have you been? Must be that cold north wind freezing your pretty brain. I mentioned it 2 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago. Others have mentioned it. There was an entire discussion about not be able to "at" mention Mark: https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/message/226922-re-are-you-able-to-mention-mark?commentID=226922#comment-226922 To which you responded: https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/message/226922-re-are-you-able-to-mention-mark?commentID=226922#comment-226973 Have you forgotten all that?

        Well see---I knew you would come along and tell me what I am doing wrong so I was not worried at all.
        As I believe I have told you.......many times the explanation of how to fix something on here is so complicated and detailed I often just ignore it. But this seems simple so.....once again.....thanks.

  Maki's reply? "Maki reply says it all I think." I don't see any response from Maki here. I'm confused myself. Perhaps she deleted it?

    She didn't write anything, nothing was deleted. I think it was a mis-mention by Sootie

    You @mentioned her instead of me . I was being cheeky that we're different / not equal and that she's probably more than me in value of her responses.
    
    Back to the regularly scheduled program....

      Glad you parsed that out. Had no idea what you meant either. For those of us who are math impaired, words are always easier to understand. lol

Welcome to the Ex Rodonald We're all addicted to nicotine no matter how we get out fix. If you haven't done so already, educating yourself about nicotine addiction and creating a quit plan are a great way to achieve a successful quit. I skipped these two steps in the past and always failed. After 50 years of smoking I'm approaching 3 years. I have to attribute some of that success to the support I received on the Ex. Congrats on 5 days. We're here for you, so just reach out anytime you need support or want to share your journey.
One day at tme.
