My last bout with Nicotine ever was 7/10/2015.
I'll never go back, I'm sure you've all heard this a million times. Physically, I can't.
No, I do not have cancer.
I started dipping January 2014 (yeah, only ~1.5 years), to keep up with my college work load, you know the story, you feel great, dip with your buddies, blah blah blah.
I was heading down the wrong path with my drinking and dipping, and one day I woke up and threw it all away.
About 4 days later the anxiety and panic attacks set in, something I was NEVER used to, because I'm very stress free and never had a panic attack.
I'm about 3 weeks into the quit, waiting for me to be me again. It's getting better, but I can't handle ANY caffeine (I used to drink coffee like water) and even eating s***ty foods make me sick now.
I don't know what happened to me, but I certainly don't feel normal. I used to drink a lot (like a college kid) and now I can't handle more than 4-5 beers without anxiety setting in or me feeling sick. I'm ok with it. If it makes me feel like me again, so be it.
I don't miss dip, I wish I never had, and I'll never go back. I'm just waiting to be me again you know?
Thanks for your help and support, any tips for this? This anxiety blows, and I refuse to take any medications or throw any more s*** into my body.

Jordan my friend, your Brian is trying to re-wire itself after putting poison in your body and now you're not. Post roll what you're going through is withdrawals. Join and you will talk to several people that went through same thing. I quit with you today!

hey jordan, i am in college as well. I started in high school but the "dipping with the buddies" thing was common to me as well. But i saw that as my buddies were able to put it down or not buy another and as they only did it "socially" i was at home every night doing it by myself. Post roll man! i just posted roll for the first time, it felt good. You quit today!

Hey Jordon.
You were NOT created to need NICOTINE.
Simple stuff..... Take a deep breath,
drink some water,
and watch your body enjoy it.
Your body is fine and doing better than ever.
Your brain is just a day behind.
You can ...and will quit.
Learn to post roll.
Tomorrow is always easier once you make the decision to QUIT.
Don't be scared of anxiety.... Your body loves the change
And IT WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!
IT AND YOU WILL ONLY GET STRONGER EVERY MINUTE WITHOUT NICOTINE.
ODAAT
I quit with you today young man.

Thanks for the soliloquy Holmes. When you are ready to quit with us let us know. Here's how we do it. We post a promise every day that we will quit for one day, then we stay quit for that day. The next day we make another promise. If you are serious about looking for support, go to the "community" link up above, then click "welcome center" then click "how to post roll". Once you do that you will have the advice and support of thousands of quitters.

Panic attacks and anxiety are common during nicotine withdrawal. 4-5 beers is a lot to drink during one sitting- not being able to drink like a college student is a blessing.
Join the November group and post roll.
