I've done it before, but this will be the last time.
I've been on Killthecan.org countless times during my countless quits, I figure its time to finally join the forum and do this for real.
I've been on and off with nicotine for about 11-12 years now. Started with cigs, tried vaping-was allergic, switched to dip cause it was easier to hide.
It seems my pattern is quitting for a month or two, then my dumbass brain goes "see you did it!, you can do just a little now." Then I'm back to it again.
Grizzly wintergreen pouches were my jam. I'd do 4 at a time between 4-8 times a day. Why 4? I don't fukin' know... because it was "better" than 1?
Anyway, I'm at 52 days right now. I've had ups and downs over the past month and a half, but the last couple days I feel low as hell. Almost like a hollowness in my head behind my eyes, and just a super shitty attitude. I can still feel my gums and lips tingling and throbbing slightly almost like they are begging for a dip. Does anyone else get that?

Welcome @Addictx3 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19861). Is this the first time you created an account on the forum here?
To start, I want to stay that you never quit before. You merely stopped. And this quit won't be your "last time". It will be your first and only QUIT.
Your story is like countless others here. 52 days on your own is pretty impressive. By joining here though, you are committing to posting your promise each and every day right away when you wake up. This is called roll and it's your promise to not ingest nicotine in any form for the next 24 hours. We don't worry about quitting for tomorrow or next week or next month. We quit TODAY. Anyone can quit for one day.
Post roll.
Honor your word.
Not always easy but it is that simple. I'll have to do some math to find your group. I'll post the link here in a few once I figure it out. But once we find your home group, start to network by sharing your digits using the "My Messages" feature in the top tool bar. None of us were able to quit on our own. But together, we are able to succeed. Accountability + Brotherhood = Success. Embrace it. Live it. Breathe it.
Finally (for now), the symptoms you describe are incredibly common at this point in your quit. You have to power through man. Drink water, exercise, reach out to brothers for support. You are in the right place.
EDIT: I did it quick but if today is Day 52 for you, that would put you in the July 2021 Group (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16943.2685#lastPost). Get in there and post roll! My quick math put your quit date on March 16th. Here we count your Day 1 as the day you took your last dip.

Thanks @MNxEngineer (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=21)
Yes, this is my first account here on the forum. And you are right, I didn't quit, I just stopped for a while.
I'm still trying to figure out my way around the site I guess... I must be retarded, but I really don't understand how or where to post roll.
Also, my quit date is on my profile... 3-15-21, so that puts me in the June 21' quit group: https://ktcforum.org/index.php?topic=16943.0
So i just quote the most recent post and put my date in?
Thanks for the support!

You nailed it sir. The link I included was titled July but the link takes you to June. Sorry for that confusion.
And you figured it out - you hit "Quote", add your name and day count and promise and then hit Post. If you want to start a new conversation, use the blue(ish) "Reply" button, type what you want and hit Post.

@Addictx3 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19861) check your messages for my digits. Much easier quitting with fellow quitters and the support of sister/brotherhood. We all failed on our own. Why not try something different?

Just bumping this up to bitch and moan a bit...
A part of me feels like all this should be old history by now. I feel like I shouldn't think about it, shouldn't crave it, and certainly shouldn't be getting symptoms and feeling shitty still. I'm 170 days quit. That's almost 6 months.
But I still don't feel great sometimes. Especially the last week or so. I feel lightheaded sometimes, can feel that "throbbing" in my lips that I think is some sort of craving, and have off and on headaches and pressure feelings in my head.
I read that those were normal symptoms of the "Fog" early on, but that shit should have fucked off by now shouldn't it? Does anyone else still remember having stuff like this so late in their quit? Starting to wonder if I've got something else going on.

@Addictx3 (https://ktcforum.org/index.php?action=profile;u=19861)
Patience my brother. This to shall pass. Think about how much better things are now compared to 4-5 months ago. The cool things is 4 -5 months from now things are going to be 10 times better than now. This crazy math keeps going and going. Don’t get me wrong, the itch stills stops by at times. However, you know it is just an itch and it will pass in a minute or two. This is why WUPP EDD is soooooo important. Protect your quit. 170 days clean is great. Celebrate the positive. Proud to quit with you today!! 'Sing and Drink'

I still feel off from time to time. I just passed the 250 mark. the days aren't nearly as bad or as often as they used to be. You'll get there.
This too shall pass.

I read that those were normal symptoms of the "Fog" early on, but that shit should have fucked off by now shouldn't it? Does anyone else still remember having stuff like this so late in their quit? Starting to wonder if I've got something else going on.

Patience my brother. This to shall pass. Think about how much better things are now compared to 4-5 months ago. The cool things is 4 -5 months from now things are going to be 10 times better than now. This crazy math keeps going and going. Don’t get me wrong, the itch stills stops by at times. However, you know it is just an itch and it will pass in a minute or two. This is why WUPP EDD is soooooo important. Protect your quit. 170 days clean is great. Celebrate the positive. Proud to quit with you today!! 'Sing and Drink'
I still feel off from time to time. I just passed the 250 mark. the days aren't nearly as bad or as often as they used to be. You'll get there.
This too shall pass.
100% normal brother. I had a hard 70s funk and also that 200 funk of which you are talking about. from 170-to 200 was rough! but it has been so much easier now its unbelievable! I second keiths statement, man first few weeks are really the worst, 70s funk comes in a scares the shit out of you and makes you rage at everyone than 200 funk where it sucks but you understand it because you have gone through worse and actually know this is your body still healing. Every set of bad days get easier and easier, does it suck.. yeah... is it annoying.... absofuckenlotly ... is it a small piece to pay for your health and freeing yourself... Its worth everything! every itch/fog/fatigue/rage/crave/fixation/anxiety/confusion all of it is worth being free from the destructiveness of tobacco.

my dentist was telling me and I have heard it on here as well, that its totally normal to have any sort of symptom for the first two years. It seems to be holding true for me so far. I feel 10x better now than I did in the first 45 days, and there is no way I would want to go back to having to start over not with how far I have come and how much like sh*t I felt before the HoF

Thanks for the backup guys. Hard to believe its normal to feel like such a bag-o-dicks so long after quitting. no wonder why so many people don't do it. Not that i really felt better dipping everyday either, but I had something to mask it and it almost gave me an excuse to feel shitty or something? i don't know. I will keep on keeping on. Starting up again doesn't really cross my mind in any serious way anymore, just want to feel better.

Read something in a book a few days ago that kinda bounced around in my head, and now whatever it turned into is getting pooped out on my keyboard:
The book was a philosophy book about happiness. One of the sections talked about adversity, and how a certain amount of adversity is actually beneficial to being a well adjusted and resilient person.
So that led me to thinking about how by getting ourselves addicted to this shit, we've actually created an opportunity for ourselves. We've created an adversity for ourselves to overcome. Perhaps we will be better than we ever could have been without it.
We have a fight to fight every single day. A fight that matters. A fight that is life and death. A fight for our lives and our souls. It may sound dramatic, but each of us knows that it is true. If we give up, or take a break for a day, or even a moment, we lose.
There have been many times that I wish I never picked up nicotine, but I would not be the same person I am now, and I am proud of who I am now. I'm a quitter.

It's reading things like this that lets me know if the world goes sideways (more so that where we are today), there are some badass folks here I would want on my side. They know how to take adversity, grab it by the throat and kick the crap out of it.
Proud to be quit with you today and always.
