I just quit about June 15th, cold turkey after about 20 yrs of dipping. I am 34. The last month or so has been some of the roughest times of my life. I have been through alot in life, and definitely have some anxiety issues to begin with, but in the last month or so, I have had some miserable feelings both mentally and physically. I feel like I am in a complete haze most of the time, I have had severe tingling/numbness in my arms and legs, and have had major panic attacks while doing even pretty much nothing. On the golf course, driving, at work, pretty much everywhere. I was a heavy dipper, I played pro baseball for a few years and was always a major dipper during my career. I haven't played for 8 years, but my habit probably got worse after my playing days finished. All I do now is hunt/fish/golf and dip the entire time. I work in sales so my days are generally spent driving around in my car, dipping. I am wondering, are the major episodes of panic and depression (I have been very depressed too, bad marriage) caused by the withdrawal from dip? Did anyone else have these kinds of problems during the first couple of months? And will it ever go away? Thanks---
