Normal.

Remember - there's all kinds of weird shit going on in your body/mouth. There are two good rules of thumb when it comes to quit:

1. Anything that happens in the first 50-60 days of your quit, you can attribute to your quit.

2. Don't worry about anything weird (bumps, cuts, white spots, etc.) in your mouth unless they stick around for more than a couple of weeks.

I'm not a doctor, but based on my experiences and the experiences of thousands of quitters here these are pretty good to follow.

Hey guys, the nurses at school gave me benadryl last night to get some sleep. I feel better today, i ate well and felt good. My tongue still feels tired and at times it feels as something is stuck in my throat (a symptom of mouth cancer) and i start to freak again. Start to kick and twitch... its tough it really is. I just wish i never did this in the first place.... Also under my chin feels really wierd at times, like heavy and sore. That also sucks. I appreciate everyone helping me get through it.

Mule, Chewie, Gump, and anyone else i forgot. Thanks a lot guys... means a lot to me.

I haven't slept at all the past two nights. I have been tired, but there has been no sleep. I am like depressed too. I don't know why I am having such a bad time lately, jsut got back to school, should be having fun. I only dipped for four months... what is wrong with me?
Go easy on the coffe and coke, the caffeine is going to hit you a lot harder now, that will probably help you sleep a little better. Drink lots of water.
hate to say it but you gots a good case of the dontgiveaflyingshits.....Those combinied with occassional bouts of insomnia, especially pre-HOF were the worst part of my quit. Everything and i mean EVERYTHING seems to take a ton of effort.....work, kids, whatever you do for fun....hell, i remember even sex didn't hold it's usual allure.....

Let me tell you one thing i have learned.........

It will pass.....and when it does...you will feel empowered just a little bit over your addiction..

Trust me....the skies will once again turn blue....the birds will sing again.....and nooky will once again regain it's mystical status in that warped little mind

Coupla things will help you thru it.......get involved in someone elses quit.....doesn't matter who or how....just bulldoze your way into giving a shit about thier quit....you will be amazed at how much stronger your own quit will become.

secondly....get pissed....really pissed at big tobacco. Those fuckers knew you would become addicted and they intentionally make a product that when used properly....will kill you and force you to continue to line thier pockets until it does.

Make it your mission in life.....to never give these bastards another dime of your money.....and take as many of thier customers with you as you can.....

sing out if I can help you.....

you got this...do not back down.
Just my observation, it sounds pretty smart for someone who only dipped for 4 months to ALREADY REALIZE he was addicted. I'm certain it happened that fast for nearly all of us, but hardly any of us idiots have figured it out (or payed attention to the fact) until many years have passed.

Also, to Mule21, thanks for posting that advice. Getting involved in someone else's quit at this stage (my third day)...I wouldn't have thought of it, not feeling yet qualified. Would like to help the other guy either get away from chewing tobacco or never come near it.

The nic bitch is calling, trying to give you a reason to start dipping again.

Stay strong, you got her beat.

Give her a good ole FU!

imagine dipping that horseshit for 20 years, I know its not easy in the beginning no matter how long you chewed for. Nicotine is a horrible drug and it will fuck with your head to no end, your body is transistioning back to a normal state, mood swings , sleep problems, headaches etc are all normal just hang in there and be thankful your smart enough to stop now.
"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

You're going through withdrawal... It would be weird if you weren't feeling like this. Hang in there dude... it gets better.

Man you are like the rest of us here, you are an addict you can not take 1 dip it will lead to more. You had a moment when you let the Nic Bitch convince you that it was OK you must be ready for that with a plan. It appears you quit with no plan but you are getting one together right? The guys here know your addiction anyone with a quit date higher than yours has been in your shoes, this battle is won day by day minute by minute and decision by decision. You must have a plan of action so that you make the right decisions. Come clean with your buddies deep down they may really want to quit and they may join you if they are true friends they will support you.

You came back that means you want this quit now use all the tools here to make it happen. Buddy up with some guys here I have some new friends because of this quit take advantage of the people in your group they will help you out.

Stay quit Caving is not an option find something else to do.
