You’ve come to the right place Justin! Hate to break it to you.. but it’s going to suck ass for a little while.. until it doesn’t. I promise it’ll keep getting better and better. My story is no different than yours.

Welcome Justin! Sand is right, it will suck for a while and it’s definitely normal to feel nauseas, anxious, dizzy, foggy and pretty much any other miserable feeling you might encounter. This is withdrawal from addiction to a chemical substance. It ain’t pretty.
That being said, it is possible, it is worth it and it does get easier. I’ve been quit for over three years and every single day of it has been worth it. I’m free now and you can be too. It happens one day at a time, one foot in front of the other.
This site has all the tools you’ll need to be successful. You’ll need to find your Quit Group and follow the directions for posting Roll. Don’t take that step lightly. Roll is your promise not to use any nicotine product for one day. That promise is made daily and it is on you to keep your word and to show up tomorrow to do it again. There are no slip ups and there are no excuses.
Your group will be there to fight the fight with you and support you. Lean on them and reach out when you need to. You may have trouble understanding at first, but that promise to a group of strangers can absolutely provide the strength you need to get through this.
Your day count begins at the last time you consumed nicotine, so whenever your slip was, is your Day 1. If you’re really ready to quit, go to the August 2019 HOF Quit Group and post your day count and promise.
Welcome to the club man, reach out if I can help!

You can do this Justin. I dipped for 25 years and I’m 39. I’m now 104 days quit. It will suck, the fog is real. Think about all of these symptoms, and messed up that is. Why would anyone want to put something in their body that causes this kind of detox? We were all idiots, and we’ve all gone through what you are going through now.
You’ve got this. Wake Up Piss Post, make the decision to quit right away every morning, take nic off the table. Use seeds, jolly ranchers, lots of water, work outs, rage on here, get digits and use them, as weird as that sounds to reach out to strangers. The guys on here have been where you are and want to help you quit.

Hey Justin—it’s already been said but I’ll say it again. Yes, this part sucks. Big time. One way I tried to look at it though is that I NEVER have to go through this again if I stay quit. It’s once and done. Don’t try to think ahead. Simply think in the here and now. ODAAT-One Day At A Time. Make sure you are doing this for you, first and foremost. Come in here early and often. POST ROLL!! It’s a promise you make that for that day, nicotine is off the table as an option. We do it as soon as we wake up. Just live moment to moment right now and you will be fine. PM me for anything and my digits are also a simple PM away. This is tough. But it is sooooo rewarding. Nothing worth having ever came easy. And this is no exception. Stay strong brother.

August 2019 HOF Quit Group is the place to go and post your promise not to use nicotine for the rest of the day. Wake up tomorrow and do the same thing.

Keep grinding through the suck Justin. You got this.

It's hard to overstate, but you definitely never want to go through this again. Keep posting roll, keep celebrating every single day you stay nicotine free.

The people I have talked to so far have been alot help it's been 9 days now
Friends and people I work with are all saying I'm gonna cave but they can kiss my ass I'm done with this shit in the stupid round can.

Fuck those people who think you are going to cave. You arent quitting for them anyway, you’re quitting for you. So if you think you can stay strong...that’s all that counts. Stick with the KTC plan. Post your daily promise, grind all day, sleep, repeat. Doing this everyday helps build discipline. And discipline is a giant tool against your craves. Don’t get lazy, and you will beat this. Good luck!

J,
There was little that was more motivating in my quit than someone stating I would cave, laughing at my attempt to better myself. Balking at my attempt to escape the chains that bound me. WHEW, you want to talk about motivation, that was it (not that I need any additional). I remind them everyday I see them because there is little more invigorating than looking them in the eyes and stating “guess what today is ... 316 days of freedom, 316 days of some believing I couldn’t do it”. I won’t continue with my other statements to them ;)

Hey man, dipping is never a solution. It’s just a problem. Problems require solutions. We all have personal shit going on in one form or fashion, I promise you. Can you imagine going through that first week again? Go for a walk, talk to someone, anything but dip bro. Shoot me a PM and I’ll give you my number if you want it.

Stress is one of the major triggers for most people. You're not used to dealing with it without dip, so this is completely normal. Keep up the quit and remember that one problem plus dip equals two problems.

You have to rewire your brain, or more accurately, give it time to rewire. It takes 200 days or so, depending on the addict. Which means 200 days, plus or minus 200 days.
Focus on today. Focus on right now. You made a promise this morning, right? What was that promise? Keep it. It's that simple. It's that hard.
In your past, any chaos was an excuse to put a dip in your mouth.
Guess what? Your past doesn't exist. You have memories, but your past doesn't exist. It's gone. All you have is now, the present, and your imagination. Use your imagination now, to shape your future. It's all you can do.
