Title: Its been 56 hours...
Post by: meares78 on November 17, 2011, 03:33:00 PM
Tell me this gets easier...I can't concentrate and I all i do is reach for the non existent tin next to my computer. It helped me focus on work and now I am really struggling. How long until my brain starts working again?

With that said, I also feel like a friend has died...I mean, I have dipped for 15 years and now all of sudden nothing...it was something that comforted me, that made me less anxious...now I have sunflower seeds and they suck...can anyone recommend something to help with the oral fixation?

Thanks and I hope I stay strong.

Don't hope. Be strong. It's your choice. You are CHOOSING to not put that shit in your mouth. It's going to be a struggle. I used to sit at my desk and dip all day. What I did in the beginning of my quit was walk around a lot. When I got a crave, I got up and walked around. I got water. I checked out the tits on the chick in the office next to me. I did whatever it took to get my mind off of dip. Use the chat room (Live chat - upper right hand corner).

you can do this. You do not need to be a slave any longer. I dipped for 25 years. Can-o-cope a day. I know what you're going through. You can do this. YOU WILL NOT BE A SLAVE. YOU WILL TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE.

When the bitch comes calling, just tell her "no. I can do this." Get past the next five minutes. Burn the entire day today reading intros and HOFs and quit groups and anything else. It's impossible to put a dip in your mouth when you're reading this site.

You can do this. Don't let the past 56 hours go to waste. It gets easier. This place saved my life and it can do the same for you. You posted roll today. You cannot cave. It is no longer an option. It is off the table. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Today you've made your promise until today is done.

Thanks for the support. Your right, I am not hoping, I am doing. I know I can do this and this site will be the crutch I use to get through the tough times. Thanks.

You got this. Use this site as a crutch as you said. One day at a time. Concetrate on today and stay busy today. Do your best and pat yourself on the back---that is all you can do. We have all went down this road you are on.

Stay strong--You are QUIT!!!!!

It does get better-soon. Believe it. I struggled with the concentration thing too. Dippin at work was my thing. For me it got gradually better over the first week. At 12 days I feel sharper than when I was dippin.

I always loved the burn of packing a dip. Made me salivate. When I'm struggling I go for things that burn a little. Sour candy, cinnamon gum/candy, spicy food for lunch etc. Anything to work the salivary glands. Thats what helps me but nose around the site a bit, there are lots of other approaches.

I had to take two dys off. I couldn't concentrate either I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. It gets much better very quickly, especially if you're that far in. You've got this by the balls, I'll be looking for your roll post. Now go kill it. Search the sponge bob mantra, or maybe someone can post a link. It sums it up very nice.
