Hey Guys,
I spit my last dip at 10:30pm on 11/24/2012. I just made it past the 72 hour mark last night and today has been hard. Good thing is even my buddies that dip are on board with my quit. They dont dip in front of me and every time Im looking bad they keep encouraging me. Only problem is these physical symptoms are killer. Does anyone know if any of the over counter pain meds help with the headaches and dizziness?

hmmm, you sure on that date/time? were you using any NRT (nicotine replacement trash) after you spit out your last chew?
By my count, you are on day 7 now.

No NRT I figured if I'm doing this I'm doing this and thats the fact.

Got it - we count funny here, so if you quit on 11/24/12, you are actually on day 5.
We dont start at day 0, so the 24th was your "day 1," even if it was just a couple of hours.
Glad to have you here.

Great choice, Smooti. Glad you're here. I took Tylenol for headaches and it didn't work...but it never does, I think. This might be a better idea...embrace the suck!
Turn the tables on the Nic Bitch. Tell her to do her worst. You can take it. You've got us backing you up every step of the way. Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day you're getting better.
See, the Suck is the feeling of healing, brother! Why cheat yourself out of something as awesome as that? Feel it. I mean, really experience it. And remember how bad it sucked when you're down the road dealing with a random crave. Remember this at Day 100, Day 500, Day 1000. Can you believe you were a slave to that bullshit? Knowing how bad you feel right now, is there any chance you'd be interested in going backwards? Fuck No. Me, neither.
It took years for you to get here. It won't just go away for the asking. It is going to take days of white-knuckle, teeth grinding, no sleep, no shit, headaches, dizzy and confusion. But, you know what they say...when you find yourself in Hell, keep going. (I butchered that quote, I know). But that is all you have to do, Smooti. Live clean and live free.
72 hours is HUGE, brother! You've got this. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Just take it one day at a time.
