Guest Andrea Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh your poor wife and kids. I applaud you for quitting..........I've seen the men in my family try to quit.....it's not pretty. Sunflower seeds just make the inside of your mouth sore. Will say a prayer for you........and your wife.:D Cold turkey is very brave.......ever consider the patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I believe that I have all of the motivation that i will ever need. I need time to pass, and of course prayer.. Thank-you very much. Now excuse me while I go and beat my children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Jim I will pray for your continued success. I have seen others here quit with the power of the Realtree Prayer Posse and I know you will quit too. I was thinking that maybe chewing on some tough jerky might take the edge off. Maybe put some in your cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksbowhntr77 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hang in there buddy, you have to be close to gettin' back to normal soon. I hope you still have all your kids and that your wife hasn't left you yet. If none of that's happened, then I assure you that you officially kicked Skoal's butt...... Congratulations!!!!!!!!

Dawg Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Last week I had a little incident enter my life and I decided that if I could handle that..........I could quit chewing Skoal............I'm an IDIOT. Skoal is bigger than me, tougher than me, and better than me................but I'm going to kick it's butt anyways................just for self-punishment. Come on now, you are way bigger than Skoal my friend. Remember the words of Apostle Paul "I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me." On a side note, try some of the beef jerky that comes shredded up in a can similar to a skoal can.........ya never know!:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluelund79 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Congrats, hope it goes well for you. I am going to give chewing (Copenhagen Snuff) up after 14 years come 1 Jan. My wife is expecting baby #2 in March, and I don't want to be a crabby dad when it comes. Gave up drinking 5 months ago, and I was into that alot worse than chewing....
