I found this site when I was thinking of quitting and used some of the information to prepare. Thank you to those that put this site together!!
I am 49 years old and have been dipping since I was 16 or 17 years old. I have never tried quitting but thought about it a few times. When Tony Gwynn, one of the greatest hitters in baseball and dipper, died a couple of months ago, it really shook me up because he was only a few years older than me. I decided to quit and made my quit date August 3rd, my wedding anniversary. I reduced my nicotine intake so much over the last three weeks I decided to go ahead and do it! July 28, 2014 is my official quit date.
I am nicotine free right now and feel like my brain has grown some fuzz, no headaches so far and my mind is throwing some cravings my way. I am using the Smokey Mountain alternative which helps with the oral fixation, but I am happy to 48+ hours in I am looking forward to being completely snuff free.

Congrats on the quit Noog (Goon?)
Keep posting roll every day, it is the key to quitting. Drink lots of water and exercise often the first few days as it will help with the foggyness as well as keep the weight off (you're gonna eat a lot the first few weeks). Get to know your quit group, make sure you exchange numbers with other quitters, hop in live chat every once in a while, and read everything you can.
PM me if you need anything,
MCO

Hang in there and do whatever it takes to stay quit. Run, do pushups, seeds, fake, gum, water, water, water. You're almost through the suck.

Good description of the SUCK, I likened it to being sick, but you know you weren't sick. You got this bro, hang tough!

The headache will probably be around real soon. Drink LOTS of water to help prevent it. Also get some pure cranberry juice at the health food store, not the crap at walmart. It will help detox.

Davd.M is right 3 4 are rough but you can do it! Drink lots of water and get your butt to the gym. Go for a walk. Do something physical. It really helped me survive the fog of days 4-7. I'm day 8 and the fog has finally lifted. You'll get there. Get some numbers and stay close with your quit group. PM me anytime.

Congrats on one more day!! Now go find a day one guy and give him your number. You don't have to have 100 days to pay it forward. The SUCK of day 1 is still fresh in your mind and you can get them thru it. Plus you will be blown away at how much helping someone else helps you.
Pm with my number sent. Holler. I'll quit with you
