I have been chewing for almost 3 years now. I have tried to quit many times and the big problem I face is getting bored and craving a dip and missing the feeling of having a dip in after a long period of time. My moth starts to dry out and starts hurting where I would put a dip in.
Tomorrow I plan on posting roll and quitting from there on out assuming I can't post today since I have had nicotine. I am curious what I can do to help with my cravings of the feeling of having a dip in?

You can post as soon as you no longer use nicotine. If you stopped now, then post and promise to not use again.
The link for you to post roll is the August group which is located HERE (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=8141http://).
If you look across the banner on the top of the page you will see a link to the WELCOME CENTER or just click
HERE (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=13), that link will tell you everything you need to know to get started.
There is no better time then right now to quit.

Thank you sir. I have not had nicotine for a while now I will post roll now. Hopefully I can get some feedback from someone about substitutes for the dip feeling.

Know what man?... This is something you just need to do. Right now! Let me ask you something... Do you really think you miss that CANCER being packed in your lip? Your mouth is already screwed up... Will putting MORE cancer in it help!? C'mon man... That's retarded.
I know where you're coming from bro... I am you. I know that crave and I know that fear. Cold turkey 100%... That's the way. I feel your need for something in your lip and that's playing too close to the fire for you. Seeds, gum, candy, veggies... Whatever. No nicotine. Period.
Find your August group and post roll. By posting roll you are giving your word to your group and every badass quitter on this site that you will be nicotine free that day. Just that day man because sometimes it's going to take everything you've got for that day. No nicotine in ANY form. Then... Rise-n-shine and we start all over again... one day at a time. It's simple... It's hard as hell... It's MORE than worth it. Absorb everything on this site. Read, read, read. All the tools are here. Bored? Get off your ass and do something... Run, exercise, play video games, go shopping, get laid, whatever! Down time was my biggest trigger... Don't do downtime for awhile. There are a ton of awesome quitters in August... Reach out to them, they'll pull you in and help you fight. PM me if you need anything. Rock your quit man...

I used hard candy and sunflower seeds and still do occasionally to fight the cravings. Some people have used fake stuff.
Bottom line is shove whatever you want into your mouth as long as it does not contain any nicotine.

Smokey Mountain herbal chew did really good for me. Feels just like dip in your mouth, and tastes pretty close too.
I also use beef jerky, mints, lollipops.

Thanks everyone for the replies and advice. I am tired of feeling like shit and not being able to focus on my studies. NO NICOTINE EVER AGAIN!!!

One day at a time Jay, I quit with you.

One thing that you probably need to do is go watch the Sean Marsee story. He only chewed for a few years and died from it, about a month or so after he graduated high school...

Woke up today read that story and damn am I glad I quit. I can't wait to be in the right state of mind. Nothing too bad happening today just feel like I can't focus on anything. I am guessing that is the infamous fog?

Oh the fog! Yes sounds like you are right in the middle of it. I had it so bad, I stared at my computer at work and tried to compose an email it was a losing battle.
Remember these feelings, they will come into play later on my quit friend. Minute by Minute, second by second or day by day, keep up your quit!

Yeah, but the funny thing is I took a nap and damn it is gone. I didn't expect it to be that easy to fix for a while. I saw someone post something about using teabags as a substitute in your mouth and it did work just a little rough on the taste. I already feel 100% better about reaching my quit in August.
Highlight of my day was not having shit smelled morning breathe for the first time in a long time!

I have also saw where people have used coffee grounds as a substitute. The fog can be rough but, just like KKLJINC said; remember the way it feels so you will know that you never want to go through it again.

Jday, I see your bad ass posted roll today! You go man. Keep that promise to us now. Your in a shitty place we know. Hang in there it's a hell of a ride, but over before you know it. Don't cave! I quit with you man!

Today has been a good day. Had to go on a long car ride and didn't have my can and it didn't seem to bother me. I could actually pay more attention with what was going on than trying to grab my spitter and lose focus of my surroundings.
I have been having some cravings throughout the day nothing that I can not keep under control with a pinch of coffee grounds in my jaw (reminds me of fine cut) or just a couple seeds.
When I wouldn't chew for a while when I first started I would always get one hell of a head buzz that would make my legs feel all weird too. I was wondering if that would be a withdrawal symptom as well? Today I had that exact same feeling in my legs without nicotine.
Overall good day!!!

Welp pretty good day once again. Had one rough patch about an hour ago but sat down and just got my mind off of it through the forums. Glad there are a lot of people out there talking about their craves and it makes me feel like I am being a baby about it.
So blessed to have all this support around.

Thanks a lot means a lot. Start my new job tomorrow and I am going in with a clear mind. I don't know if the fog ever comes back but today has been amazing.
Sat back drank a few beers and didn't miss chewing at all. Overall amazing day.
One problem I have been having though is sleeping. I keep waking up about ever hour without the ability to fall back asleep for a couple of hours after waking. Has anyone experienced this and if so how long does it last and is there any fixes?

Yes same story for me. Day 25 and Still happening but getting better.

Hope your craves are gone tomorrow. I find when I skip exercise (like too busy or lazy) they're back. Tomorrow, other than a small stint at work I'll devote self to exercise and chores getting ready for a cookout this weekend (i.e. cleaning). Stay busy thanks for your thread and carry on.

hey jday6591,
What you're experiencing is normal...waking up all night....a lot of quitters have success with melatonin. It comes in different doses...Walmart has it on the shelf, no prescrip necessary. google it and see if it may be for you.
The reason for your sleep pattern changed is because your Oxygen level is changing in your blood!!! You are now "not" depriving your blood of the oxygen it really needs. Nicotine robs the blood of oxygen. Your brain is re-wiring...this is a great thing.
Celebrate! you'll start to notice that you'll be able to think clearer, quicker, recall better and be happier.
Remember we are Addicts to the poison and we can never have another.
One is too many, one million is never enuff. 'Crazy'
One Day at a Time and Never Again For any Reason! 'bang head'
Cheers. :)

Today has been pretty good like every day but the first couple. No cravings at all. Only problem I am experiencing as of late is sleeping I had to take a nap earlier because I haven't been sleeping for shit the last 3 nights. Guess I will have to look in to some melatonin =[

Hey Jday.
Just realize you've been screwing up your mind for umpteen years. While it's fixing itself it doesn't do anything right,, including sleep. It's using every moment to fix itself. It's now getting the proper oxygen and repair that it has wanted for years.
There will be a point when you actually want more sleep than normal. I think that is when it wants to rest because of all the krap you just put it through.
Everything normal my friend,, Quit on and I'll keep quitting with you.

Ah no problem with the quit for me. I am usually a night owl anyways. Just rough not being able to sleep when I need to get to sleep for something going on.
I noticed that if I have nothing going on around 6 am I can fall asleep and sleep for a good bit and not wake up which is somewhat nice since I work 2nd shift now.

and cut back on caffine it works way better at keeping you awake without the nic bitch blocking its effects.
-
Ah okay I havent really been using any caffeine but I have been taking dips of coffee grounds so I am assuming I am getting some sort of caffeine from that. Thanks for the input cdaniels.
Today has been normal and I haven't craved I am really starting to wonder why I am not craving at all?

Wrong thread sorry

Can drink and not crave actually I can do anything and not crave I haven't craved since day 3 I believe and this is day 10. Can anyone tell me if I am done craving or what is going on?

Your mind is rewiring itself currently while not drugging it with 1,000's of chemicals. It is hard to say what exactly will or won't happen.Stay vigilant and stay strong.Worry about the here and now and not tomorrow.Do not get cocky or feel "Cured". Stay the course and stay active in your quit. Get involved with others and there quits. The funks will come and you need to be ready for them regardless of how you "think" you feel. Proud to be quit with you today see you on the flip-side.

Nobody can tell you if you're done craving, but if you are after 10 days you're the luckiest son of a bitch on the planet.
I'm not even going to give you my thoughts because I don't want to put any ideas in your head. Just do you and don't get cocky.
If times get tough...we are here for you.

early on i remember people giving me advice. telling me to take it one day at a time. POST everyday no matter what. make that commitment to your fellow quitters. yourself.. feel the power of freedom, and change your life.
today i hit day 300... it seams so far away, but take it one day at a time, and soon you'll be looking back with a smile... peace

Still going strong and no cravings still. I am completely normal and it is scaring me.

Don't be scared. Someone breaks into your crib packing heat, unzips and says "suck this or die". THEN be scared.
Ride the wave bro. Suckle off the teet of feeling good. Don't wait for the bottom to drop out as many times the actual anticipation is worse than the act itself.
Chillax and take this shit one day at a time. Not much more you can do, really.

Great job jd. One day at a time. I hope you don't have any problems,, that would be great. Stay quit,, that's the important thing. I quit with you today.

Welp still clean. Just have a question. I have a sore in my mouth as to be expected, but when I take my tongue and push on my lower lip (when I say push I mean push hard) I feel a couple lumps. One is right where I got hit and my lip bruised. The other is to the left and it doesn't hurt or anything just has me a little worried. I have been to the dentist and they didn't notice anything. It just has me sketched out I plan on contacting my dentist tomorrow to discuss it, but I am having a hard time getting over this right now. Any insight would be amazing right now.

Relax. I had a grape sized ball in my lower right lip. Thought for sure it was the big C, had a panic attack, thought I was gonna die and wasted 3 days in the hospital.
Turns out I was fine. But all that worrying and the panic attack fucked my shit up, butt good.
Odds are you are fine, but I know your mind is racing with bad thoughts right now. Try to remain calm. You abused the hell out of your cakehole. All sorts of weird shit pops up when you quit and it starts to heal.
Get to the dentist, get the piece of mind that you are okay and let this be a reminder and motivatoras to just how bad that shit fucked us up.
You got a strong quit going. This is a bump in the road. Chillax and peddle right over it.

Thanks I looked things up and the one from getting the fat lip is just scar tissue so not to worried about that. Setting up a dentist appointment when I find out my work schedule.
-
Still going strong just started a new job so it is hard to get in a routine and post. Thanks for all the support and I am glad to be quit today
-
Just giving an update. Feel fine still and hardly ever crave at all. My new job is going smooth and drinking does not bother me at all even though I would chew or smoke when I drank. Life is better than ever only problem I am having is the fact I keep mixing up what day I am on lol.
Thanks for all the support when I missed roll a couple of times!!!!
