Day 22 and I woke up in a panic 20 minutes ago.  Although I suspect I have had some unconscious dip dreams since I seem to have the need to sweep my mouth with my tongue and check for a dip most mornings since quitting, last night's was so vivid and all over the place.  Once I realized it was a dream I jumped up and through in a piece of Trident in and posted roll.  Details have already faded, buy it was a F'd up dream...started with caving with a cigarette (I have not smoked in over 12 years), some how involved deer hunting and then floating down the river (I used to be a whitewater guide back in the day) and then finding an open but full can of cope in my pocket.  That's all I remember other than the really sick feeling I started chewing again.  It's weird but waking up a few times since quitting I have actually felt that I could accidently start chewing again...like somehow forget and unconsciously put a dip in.  How strange is that?  Anyway, I hope I don't have many more dreams that vivid.  I remain resolute, but needed to write this down for myself if nothing else.  Day 22 here I come!
Keep after it! Scary how real those dreams feel. Keep updating your intro as a way to trace back to the absolute hell you've battled through but also as a trail for new quitters to follow.
If you are like me... there are many more dreams to come. I call em dip nightmares. You did exactly what I do when I wake up... I roll myself out of the rack and post roll immediately. That is how you do it!

Don't be afraid of these dreams... use them to your advantage. Hard to be complacent when you have a crappy dream like that, you wake up sweating with a sick feeling in the pit of you stomach.

Keep fighting! You are doing great today! QLF all day long with you!

The nights have been the toughest part between dinner and bed. For me it's when I slow down for the day that the craves seem stronger and last longer (shit, I sound like a YETI Cooler Commercial). Hanging tough, but definitly not an easy haul into Day 12. Found it really humerous to get Cope Coupons from my good friends at US Tabacco in the mail yesterday. $3 off a roll; $1.50 off two cans....Did relieve some stress to rip those bastards right up....I'll keep my money and my mouth, toungue, jaw and face thank you and 'Finger' UST.

Per my better half when I asked here how I was doing, "Oh, you're still an asshole, not as big of one as the first three days, but still an asshole"....hey progress is progress Lovey!  :wub:
Okay, that shit's funny. :-) It proves that there's an inverse relationship between the number of days quit and our asshole-edness. The greater the number of quit days, the less of an asshole we become! Hah! Yet another benefit of being quit!
It is like Zillah cowboy said the more quit days the less your an asshole I remember when I first started my quit I was a asshole to so the wife said she has said that it is getting better ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Day 10 - Double Digets - Today I will be less of an Asshole than yesterday. Welcome to double digets Samm, OkieBurner, jlewis1, K-State, Life After Dip....I quit you you today!
Double digits is a big accomplishment. Stay after it, you're doing this thing.
"I am a nicotine addict and there is nothing I can do about it; I am also a quitter, and that, I can do plenty about." - Grizzly25

Today I choose to quit because today is the only day I have control over today. Tomorrow is a new day and when tomorrow is today, I'll control it too, but not until then. I will win this fight with today...
