Hi All, I am new here, I always knew this site existed but this is the 1st time I actually joined and am posting, I have been addicted to copenhagen now for almost 30 years, I have tried to quit on several occasions and my longest quit was a year. Anyway, I am done with it, tired of anything having any control over me, I want to get 100% healthy. I took my last dip, 7 days ago, the first 5 days were easy as pie, I just kept very busy and stayed on my motorcycle and went to sleep early, Had some minor headache but that was it, Now I have no headache, Im not really foggy as it is described, But To describe it, I will every now and then, feel a pulsing in my lower lip as if it is saying "FEED MEE" I resist the urge as I know its mental and Ive got to overcome it. I bought a ton of Jakes mint snuff and cowboy coffee chew and I only use that when the feed me urge comes. I joined the gym today hopefully that will keep me super busy.
The hardest thing I find is The association. I dipped all the time, when I played guitar, worked, after a jog, at work, to figure out a problem etc, such a big part was dipping, i mean i loved it but then it took over, at that point i knew i had to quit, that was 10 years ago, Today I have been quit 7 days, dont feel I need it physically, but man am fighting it mentally, Im gonna do this
thanks for listening
