Carl, keep it up! I think it's like going on a diet..the longer you do it the easier it is to stay on it...but what do I know. Food is my addiction, my wife is a good baker and cook and continues to make things...I eat them..can't help it. What I do to keep off the weight is to just not have food sitting around, if it's there, I throw it out, kind of pisses off my wife but she understands.
I'm going to keep checking on your progress each day.

Another day...
I'm pretty sure the physical cravings are done. I haven't used the patch in a few days and don't really notice that aspect.
Like others have mentioned, now the issue is the habit itself. That's the hard part.
- A chew after a meal
- A chew after waking up
- A chew during EVERYTHING in life
5 days later and still no copenhagen.

CoolCarl,
Keep up the good work!
That's a mighty fine present you're giving yourself.

Day 5 morning:
Still nicotine free.
I've noticed I'm sleeping better without any nicotine in my system.

Just wait until the food starts tasting better.
And congratulations.

As the dip residue wears off your teeth/mouth I'd hope your nooky scorecard would have a dramatic improvement too. 
Unless your wife still dips. 
CONGRATS !!

Day 6
Today I shaved off my goatee. I think I had been using it subconsciously to hide my face when I chew.
I still get about 4-5 urges daily to take a dip. They don't last but a minute or 2. Not that big of deal I'm thinking.

Way to go Carl! Sounds like you've just about got it licked. For those difficult moments, find yourself a real disgusting picture of cancerous mouth ulcers and study it well. Focus on it every time you get the urge. Positive reinforcement is always a good thing, but when you really need to kick a craving for something (or someone), a bit of negative reinforcement goes a long way. Keep updating us on your progress.
