Hey Guys I have been a hardcore dipper for three years and did it almost daily, I recently decided to quit and am just done with that chapter of my life. I am coming up on 2 weeks this Friday, and lately I have been on edge, the nicotine patches are helping me but I still feel on edge, and have a hard time falling asleep latley I do feel like just going out and buying a can, but have been able to to keep my self from doing so, how long does it take normally for the cravings to go away? By the Way I my Name is Nick but people usually call me Tweek or Meatbock. I am quitting for my Brother as well as my family. My Older brother is my biggest supporter, We decided that anytime of day if one of us needs to call the other we will always make time to talk eachother through the hard parts when we crave it the most. One of the biggest things is that I forgot to mention is i started when I was 13 years old is when I had my first dip which was skoal apple and it just built up over the years.

Hey Nick, welcome to the group, I am on day 8 right now, and still in the middle of the suck, but others will chime in. This site is totally a nic free zone. Dump the patch and cold turkey that shit out. FYI, I am a 20 year Vet on Cope Long Cut, I quit cold Turkey, it fucking sucks but I dont want to be controlled by anything any longer. Kill the patch lean on the group, and go post roll and do it every day.

I will go ahead and do Cold Turkey and embrace the suck, Luckily spring break is coming up for me so hopefully that will cut down on my stress levels.

KKL is right. We are a nicotine free site. Using patches or nic gum is still putting nicotine in your system. As soon as you take off the patch, head over to June 2013 quit group. You can find June by clicking here June 2013 (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=7913)
Early in the morning you will make your pledge to not use Nicotine for the next 24 hours. The next day you rinse and repeat. Don't worry about hitting the hall of fame, being quit forever, quit for a year, quit for a week, etc. Only focus on that day, each and every day.
You can learn how to post roll here :How To Post Roll (http://www.killthecan.org/community/welcome.asp#roll)
When you are craving bad head on over to the HOF speech's here :HOF (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=9)

Hey Guys I made it through my first full day without nicotine Was not easy, I went to a gas station to get an energy drink and I was so tempted to my a can of dip, but I did not cave even though I really wanted to, I have been a bit grumpy today as well as high strung, I am embracing the suck, and am not going to give in.

Good job on staying strong, my .02 stay away from the energy drinks and caffeine for awhile early in your quit. I only seams to amplify the crave and dehydrates as well. Drink a boat full of water (that means alot) daily. Helps to flush out the poison and quickens the healing. PM if need anything QLF today.

Drink a lot of water and cranberry juice. Also, make sure you have a good stash of sunflower seeds, bubble gum or fake chew. The next few days will SUCK. However, you can push through.

Ok So today was rather rough, I was really shaky, and my whole body has been aching since earlier today, is that normal for my whole body to ach after quitting something like dip? I am trying to get my mind off of dipping, but today I really felt like i needed one, though this is my only second day of quitting so maybe this will pass, also do you ever stop thinking about dip after you have quit and about how long does it take for cravings to go completely away if ever?

Hey Meat, FYI- quitting doesn't cause the shakes or your body to be achy. You poisoned yourself for how many years? You quitting isn't the problem, tobacco is the problem.
I am at 162 and get the occasional crave, but they go away easier now. Slow down take a breath, run around the block if you have to, do push ups until your arms fall off. The point is if you dwell on dipping you will always think about dipping. Get your mind on something else and things will get better faster.
Quit one day at a time, post roll everyday, grab your nuts and suck it up. You can do this.

So I decided yes am going to miss dipping, however i think i would miss my lower jaw alot more, thats what i keep telling myself every day, no matter how hard it gets, i want to stay quit for my family, especially my brother, who by the way i am extremely proud of for quitting, i am also quitting for all of you guys no matter how hard this gets, i will not give in, So I say 'Finger' to the Dip and :D to a tobacco and nicotine free life, good luck to all of you guys, we can do this Shit!

Having gone through what you're going through... it gets a hell of a lot better after the first week! Keep pushing through, even when you want to cave, stay quit. Even when that Nic Bitch whispers sweet nothings in your ear, stay quit. Think of all the money saved between not buying dip every day to medical... it reminds you that you're at a cross roads. Either choose life or choose flushing your life down the crapper.
I remind myself of why I am staying quit every day... for ME! My decisions affect my co-workers, my family, etc! The times I have considered caving I come on here and look at the connections I have made. It's been less than a month, but I feel like I have known these guys for a lot longer. Recovery has a way of connecting people.
I'd like to also remind you that if you think of caving, think of how much you will be letting yourself and us down. I am sure you have read the wave of shit those who cave have gotten and how much extra work they have had to put in to gain the trust and respect back.
INTEGRITY!

You aren't going to miss dipping, you only think you do right now. What you are going to realize is the it didnt really ever do anything for you and that you can accomplish and enjoy all things without it.
The only thing dip EVER did for you was remove the withdrawal symptoms you were experiencing. Its called chemical dependency. Your addicted brain interpreted that feeling as pleasurable. That is the big lie. We as addicts become brainwashed. Right now it is common to be feeling a void, what you need to understand is that nicotine will not fill the void, NICOTINE CREATES THE VOID.
Keep up the good work. One day at a time.
