First of all thanks everybody for the kind words and thoughts and prayers. The old man is in a far better place, but my mom doesn't know how to coop. Next, don't brag on your quit. I told a few people of the craves that hit me on my 1280 mile drive the other day. I fought the thoughts off with tricks, distractions whatever, but did. Today I woke up and felt good, until the quietness and boredom set in as I was the first awake. I drove 30 minutes to the next town to buy a can of Smokey Mountain...I'm stubborn, I will not lost this battle. I just got up from the table with my cousin who, I was worried, would bother me with his Copenhagen problem. He quit two weeks ago, unknown to me. Happy quit to all!
Drew give Mom all the love you can brother she needs you! Damn proud of you friend hard to go through what you have past few days and stay clean! Alot of folks on this site myself included respect and appreciate you brother! You and your family are in our prayers God speed my friend!
Ditto...

I am just about to day 30, the quit is strong. Had a crazy dream though.

My wife and I were in our car headed to a funeral. The picture on the memorial page was a small boy whom I didn't recognize, I didn't say it was a funny dream because it was far from it. My wife was bawling and wouldn't stop. I looked at her and said he is ok. She kept asking what I meant by that and I told her it was just a dream. To answer her look of confusion, I pulled a Kodak can out of my coat (I didn't even dip Kodak, strange) and she smiled. I tossed the can and we stopped the car. I do not believe we went on to the little guy's funeral, but I do not recall the rest of the dream.

I have had the craving dream, I am sure we all have, and didn't feel the need to relay those. This one, however, was a little differently. I woke up happy from this dream and posted roll. Quit on douchebags!
Your body and mind are going through some bullshit right now Drew. Through my first 30 days or so, I had some straight up crazy shit ass dreams. My wife caught me sleepwalking more that once. I took a piss in my laundry basket. I tried to leave the house, but it was dead bolted. I dreamed about burning buildings, car wrecks...all kinds of weird shit. And like you, sometimes there were references to dip, but never my can of choice. It was always some off brand that I didn't dip.

All I can offer you is this - you are winning. Your body is throwing a temper tantrum right now, and it's trying to convince you that you need your fix. Fuck that.

You are 30 days on the right side of freedom. Freedom is awesome, but like the man says, it isn't free. You gotta work and fight for it.

I'm glad to see you're fighting for it.
I knew if I voiced that I would get folks sayin they had weird stuff dreamin on too. Thanks.
Yep drew day 27 here weird ass dreams here but I don't give a shit I'm beating this bitch! Stay strong my brother we got that shit! Proud to be quit with you!
Dude, my cave dreams never went away. Occasionally I'll just have a random dream where I'm either dipping or smoking and wake up with boatloads of remorse and guilt until I realize it never actually happen. It will always be buried down deep somewhere and sometimes make a cameo in my dreams.
Drew,
Congrats on getting to the 1 Month milestone. And yes, the dip dreams are part of it. I still get 'em once in awhile. Scary as shit...and then you wake up and it's all good because you're still QLF !!! Quit with you today.
ZillahCowboy
30 days a huge milestone! Excellent work! Think back to day one.....feel the freedom!
Thanks Ginet. Thinking of the early days of the suck give me peace of mind. I'm starting to get a handle on my head and confident in myself now, so I think of the month or two before the quit. I thinking of all of the things we all speak of on the site: the stained-ass fingers and clothes, being late for stuff, knowing everybody at the T store, sneaking a dip like a damn 15 year old. It saddens me that I did that to myself and my family. As the fog lifts, I think this will motivate me as much if not more than other things.
You have done the work. You are doing it today. Be confident you can keep it quit today. I know you can do it!
