I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. I am quit as of 8/13/2015. I quit cold turkey have been through pure hell! I couldn't get out of bed for several days, fever. chills etc. hallucinated. Crazy stuff. I absolutely thought I was going to die. My anxiety had absolutely ran out of control. Two trips to the Dr's office. This web-site saved me and brought me back to sanity. I have dipped for just shy of a year but knew it was getting out of hand. The dip was absolutely controlling me and I hated it. I'm no youngster at 48 either. I was going through some personal issues and started smoking for a short while. I hated the smell of smoke so I thought I would try dip. DUMBEST thing I have ever done in my life! The fog has been insane but seems to be getting better. Right now I have a crazy sore throat that is scaring the shit out of me. Hopefully it will go away within the next couple of weeks. I'm sucking the shit out of cough drops and that seems to help.
Anyhow I thank all of you for this web-site! It has already been a life saver to me.

It's great to hear from someone that's gone through it.

Try to gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat. Don't freak yourself out. Save energy to focus on your quit

Nick is right on the money. Your starting to come out of the fog and hit the first realization....
What The Fuk Did I Do To My Body!!!
So every pain, sneeze, cough, tingle, we go oh shit, and become scared. You are realizing you are not superman. Don't forget the feeling, get checked out and be honest with your doctors.
-
Thanks for the support and encouragement.....lord knows I need it!
The fog is easing up but very little energy and or motivation. Very unusual for me. I'm typically full on all of the time.

Main thing don't get all excited about the symptoms it's all about rewiring the body,but worth every damn second! Embrace the suck, it will suck until it don't! Quit on! You're doing great!

Things are getting better. More motivation and energy. The labor day weekend was rough as hell though. Had a bit of a fever going sweats/chills and sore throat but pulled out of it thankfully. I think I'm on day 26 so getting close to the 30 day mark. Hard to believe.

Keep it up Kize. ODAAT brother and you'll make it to 30 and so many more.

I thank all of the support from KTC!
I quit with all of you today!

A MONTH of quit is awesome Kize! I quit with you. B)B

RTistic,
5 days is great! For me the worst part was probably the first 3-4 days. The worst part should be behind you but still tough datys ahead.
Keep strong!

Today is day 38 of my quit. Feeling lousy today. I'm not craving the dip but just have some anxiety going and feeling depressed. I'm mostly worried about my health. I'm still dealing with some occasional sore throat issues. It seems to come and go. Just not sure if this is normal or not? I might just be over thinking everything.

pretty normal. I had a sore throat/neck for close to 2 months. It takes time to heal the damage you have done to yourself. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Thanks for the support. I needed it today. Sometimes maybe that's all we need.
Thanks brother

Raz is correct. It is normal. The anxiety and worry will improve. One foot in front of the other.
Nice job documenting this. In the not too distant future you can look back at days like this and think... Never again will I let this happen to myself. Actually, you can do that today.
Well done sir.

You know....I can't thank you guy's enough for the support. This is a tough road for everyone. I'm the kind of guy that does (and has) done everything on my own. I suppose a "lone wolf".
I'm retired Navy..Served tours in Iraq etc. (NOT that, that makes me any better than anyone else). Just making a point that I've always been strong on my own...but not this time. I need the support from KTC. It's Ironic that I can take bullets but need support for an addiction.... crazy....
Thanks again KTC brothers! I hope I can pay this forward!!
-
And another thing!! I'm not sure who started KTC? Chewie.....I suppose? I think you should feel fucking proud for launching this site. I mean that sincerely. I don't swear but did this time to make a point. You are bringing people together for a potentially lifesaving reason. You need to be recognized! In my opinion presidentially!! You are helping thousands breakthrough their addiction to this poison (courtesy of big tobacco).
Chewie (if your reading this) please PM me your address....I would like to send you a gift/award from OIF (operation Iraqi freedom).
Thank you brother

I'm a bit of a lone wolf myself. When I first came here, i was a total prick to everyone and didn't get on board with the message that this site sends. Ask pab...
Point is, you can't live on this world alone. You can exist, but not live. We have gone through the same crap that you have and made it through, though we struggle at times. Every time I get a craving, I think about the promise that I make every day to the people on this site. I won't use nicotine, and I sure as hell won't break a promise.
I'm quit with you today

Today is day 60 of my quit! It has been one helluva ride. I think I've been through every symptom mentioned on the site! Crazy fog, the suck, night sweats, no sleep, mouth sores, sore throat, headaches....on and on. I was convinced I would die soon after the quit!!! Here I am alive....I still have a little of the sore throat going on. The cravings haven't been too bad for me...Once in awhile they creep up on me. I was going crazy on cough drops as a substitute but had to ween myself from that. I think all the sugar was big part of the 15lbs. that I've gained. The weight doesn't bother me though. I know it will come off soon and is a fair trade to ditch the toxic dip. For any newbie's reading this.....hang in there...yes it sucks but it's worth it! Man up/woman up! and just do it. Cold Turkey....no bs... For those that have supported me....thanks a million!!! the advice and encouragement have meant the world to me. This site has been a blessing and I am so fortunate for having found it... God bless to all.
I quit with you today!!

As my brother w2w said, you gonna love what's ahead! He is absolutely correct. No matter how tough it is now it's so damn worth it. It's like the girl next door, I tried everything to get my first kiss from her and damn when I did, it was worth it all! Quit on my friend, damn proud to be quit with you!

Good for you. Having anxiety about some of the same things but that's why I am ditching this addiction now so it isn't a constant headache. Hope to be where you are at in another month or so!

It gets so much better Kize. 2 months Nic free is Bad Ass. I'm a fan of a person having a hard quit to start. I think it should be just hard enough to make you never want to experience it twice. Keep quitting the same as you have been. Good days are ahead for you! Quit on.
