I have been cigarette free for almost a year. I had been a month of Chew free. I just had a can of chew today. I am so not happy. Anyone know of something or a good idea to get me off this chew for good?

Do you vape ? If not, that would be the answer so you are getting your nic..
At least your not smoking !

Have you tried Snus? I have no experience with them but I think it may be an alternative.
Sorry to hear about your relapse but all is not lost.
What is your current setup? What is your current nic level? What is not working for you?

Perserverance. Will power. Hope. Confidence.
Like any "addiction", there are urges to be overcome. Tobacco's addiction is as strong as anything on the planet.
Having the right hardware and e-liquid is at least half of the battle. Be sure that you like the flavor you're using, because if you don't like it you won't use it. In fact, maybe change up the flavors with more than one that you like. Don't limit yourself to just "tobacco" flavors . . . there are candy, fruit, desert, coffee, adult beverages, etc. Use the appropriate level of nicotine in your e-liquid.
The hardware has to be powerful enough to simulate the experience of using tobacco products. If using a "cigalike" or eGo battery setup, perhaps a more powerful unit is in store.

It's surprising, but shouldn't feel bad about a small break in quitting like that.
Personally dip was easier to get off than cigarettes and I was doing 3 cans of Copenhagen Mint, Snuff, or snuff a day.
Maybe could bump the nicotine up in vaping a bit? Not a huge jump, but it could help.

Raise your nic level and possibly your PG level. I was a dipper and a smoker when I switched and started out with 36mg/ml juice. It's been four years and I still range from 18-32mg. 18mg being dangerously close to ineffective and 32mg just starting to become too much for me. 70% PG gives me a nice bite to go with the nic with 50/50 being about as low as I care to go for vapor production.
YMMV
ON EDIT: No reason to be ashamed. Stuff happens... Get back up on that bike/horse/wagon and try again!

My buddy had to increase nic in his vape and it worked great for him and we slowly brought it down in levels over the period of a year and he doesen't care to smoke at all anymore now , should give it a try.
Copenhagen mint? Sacrilege!
LOL. That is my addiction. It is actually harder for me to quit dipping than smoking. The sad thing is that being in the military we are required to be a certain weight and dipping actually helps me to lose that weight. I do not know why but it does.
To answer the questions above: I am using a nautilus mini with an eleaf mini. I like the setup and use it often. I am still trying to find my flavors that are just right. I love Applewood by MOV and it is at 0mg. I may need to up my nic levels by a small amount. Candy just does not do it for me.
You shouldn't feel ashamed!
Think of that year cigarette free and a whole month chew free ... not one day of chew
Stuff happens, it's not the end of the world
I know but then there is that up hill battle of quitting again and I am not happy about that. Or looking forward to that again.
A problem I'm seeing more of is vendors discontinuing high nic levels (24mg+) or not offering them to begin with. This leads to spending a good sum on trial and error juice purchasing. Read lots of reviews and choose wisely.
I know I have been reading and giving reviews so others may learn.
As far as quitting I know there is an old joke out there, "Yes I have quit smoking/dipping. I have done it like a hundred times. Quitting part is easy, staying is the hard part." Something to that effect.

Haha yep, still have unopened cans with a date of July on the bottom from when I quit.
I have to ask what your reasons are for being so desperate to get off of smokeless tobacco? Smokeless tobacco has the same low risk profile as vaping so it certainly isn't a health issue.
sure if you think mouth cancer, rotting gums and the like are low risk like vaping...I guess its better than smoking tho
Ah.... No. Contrary to common myth, smokeless tobacco is not associated with oral cancer or rotting gums. You need to do a bit of reading

0mg? No nic in your ejuice then? Maybe you could try something like 3mg to start low and see if that helps any? Good luck and don't beat yourself up! You're on your way!
