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.
Tom

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.

Day 9
I think I have it beat. Yesterday was the first day that I didn't even think about copenhagen.
It was nice to read all the posts of encouragement (and a couple of PMs also). I think it helped a bit.
Like any other addiction I'll never be totally cured. For now, I'm calling it good though and I don't feel the need for daily updates.
Except for the first day and a perhaps the 2nd day, the process was way easier that I had thought it would be. It makes me wonder why I hadn't done this sooner.
I'm proud to say I'm a "I used to chew" guy now.
Carl
P.S. If anyone else out there is contemplating kicking the nicotine habit I suggest you go for it. It's not that bad and can change your life.
