After a few days I cut down on the dips allowed and then started mxiing only 1/4 copenhagen with 3/4 smokey mtn. Did that for a week or so and then finally switched all the way over to the fake stuff with no copenhagen. It was much easier then i thought it would initially be. If i had to do it again i would also use wellbutrin or zyban to help in the process.

That may have been a better route to go, but in my mind, I'm either doing something or I'm not so that's why I said screw this I'm doing it cold turkey. That technique is not for everyone, but I knew it was best for my personality. I knew it would be harder up front, but would be over faster. The first three weeks were a total bitch, but the last week was a walk through the park on a comparative level.
Every week I put $25 into a box (what it was costing me to use Copenhagen plus a little extra) and after one year, I am going to take the money and do something with the family. Here's the kicker.
I told my wife if I fell off the wagon
for even one chew during that year, I would make myself triple what was in the kitty and donate the money to PETA. Needless to say, I won't let that happen come hell or high water.
