Hello,
I've been dipping for about 4 years. Have tried quitting about 20 times, never made it past a week. Found this site, and am looking for some support. Help?
For the past 12 hrs, I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm already angry, and frustrated... And am pretty sure I'm not going to make it to day 3, much less day 100.
How long does the anxiety/sweating/anger last? And is there any way to minimize these side effects? I hate this feeling.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Don't worry about anything but today you can do that! Drink lots of water, exersice, post roll early everyday, keep your word and read read read others experiences. Start getting contact #'s of other quitters to call on when your having a rough time. Pm me if you want to exchange #'s

rock out bro and enjoy and relish and remember these 72 hours........this is the quickening and is what will make you never go back.........if you remember it.....and embrace it.......
-
I'm trying to figure out how to embrace it. Day by day is important, but it's so incredibly difficult. I feel like I'm smarter than addiction (yes that sounded as stupid on paper as it did in my head) but it's extremely frustrating.
Appreciate the support, hoping its successful.
-
tarheel... for me I embraced the suck retrospectively and once you get over that first major suck (first 3-4 days) then the cravings start to get shorter and shorter. If I started to crave... I would do one of three things... run, read on KTC, or use some fake stuff (SMC or NIP). Always drink lots of water! That worked for me... but I also didn't want to constantly use the fake stuff, so I would limit my use on that stuff about to about 3 times a day.
-
What's with the drinking lots of water? I see that as a suggestion a lot, but don't quite understand why.
I've been reading a lot and listening to music. Both help. What is the fake stuff? I haven't encountered it, but feel like it could help me.
I'm planning on relying on others who are where I want to be. I'm hoping to be a contributing member of the community. Also hoping to never dip again.
Day by day.... These are long fucking days.
-
Welcome to the Sept quit group! We do this together, as stated day by day! the past 4 days have woke me up to how fucked up dip makes us. I'm still fucked up I was like a zombie @ work-it was awful, but two brothers texted me and we beat that bitch. Tomorrow will come post roll and we'll fight this bitch again, but now you have brothers w/you.You won't find more support than on KTC -it's science...
Fake stuff: portland mint, hooch snuff (my choice) herbal dip...no nic/no tobacco
-
I feel like a zombie constantly. I look at the clock and like 8 minutes have gone by. It feels like its been days.
I feel like this site will help keep me accountable. As I said, I've half ass attempted to quit previously, but this time I plan on relying on others to help.
Instead of going to the gas station, I'm here... Talking to people I don't know and listening to music. It's a start.

Today has been significantly easier than yesterday... But I never dipped at work.
I've had a slight sore throat the last 2 days as well, normal? Trying not to over things, as this is a huge change to my body.

If you think this is going to just get easier, then you're fooling yourself. Quitting sucks, especially in the early going. That's why we tell you to "embrace the suck." Remember what you feel like and make sure you never repeat Day 2 ever again. Same for Day 3, 4, etc. Put the balls to the wall and quit like fuck!
On a side note, I don't know if you're from NC or a UNC fan, but the name Tarheel implies one or the other. Which one is it?

Sore throat is common for a lot of quitters - especially in the beginning. It is also a good reason for the suggested water. One thing that dipping does for us is it usually keeps our mouths and throats moist - or slimed. Stop dipping, the mucosa often dries out.
Also, Coach Steve is right, do not kid yourself into thinking that this gets easier quickly. There are lots of trick that get played on you...the first and most dangerous is you being tricked into thinking this is easy and that you can do this without any effort....that is a path that leads straight to the cave...
You are going to have to fight this and be willing to fight for your health and well being. Don't become complacent...do not get cocky or think you've got this beat...it will sneak up on you and catch you from behind if you do not stay ready.
-
Tarheel,
Coach Steve and CoachDoc are very right. Listen to their experience/wisdom. They've been quit longer than you and I. They are proof that WE can do this.
Water? I drink 1 gallon between 6 am and noon and I'm a pissin' fool too. It helps me with the craves and gives me a little something to do with my mouth. Also, use tic tacs, cinnoman gum and brushing my teeth 3-5 times a day. Did I mention water??? :)

I'm currently living in NC and have been a UNC fan all my life.
I never thought it'd be easy, merely commenting that today was much easier than yesterday. Ups and downs I suppose.
Funny that the sore throat happened when I didn't understand why to drink do much water. Clearly not a doctor here.
Thanks for the support all.

Oh no, a unc versus uncstate dispute. Everyone who doesn't want to get caught in the cross fire of a tickle pile better clear on out the back. Might even be some slapping and hair pulling if tempers really flare.

Well last I checked you need 2 participants for a tickle party. That means Tarheel would need to show up. Best I can tell he never posted roll in September and he ain't been around for the past few days. Just sayin...........

Guess the next day wasn't as good as he thought. Probably took the easy way out and is back humping the can like a good 'lil addict.
