Thanks guys. I really appreciate the support.

Physically day 2 wasn't a bad as I had expected. Mentally it was a bitch. But it lulled me into a false sense of security. I couldn't sleep worth a damn last night and my anxiety is terrible this morning. I'm shaky and my body can't decide if it's hot or cold.

Tonight around midnight will be 72 hours. I WILL MAKE IT.
Yeah, ya will!

Dude, I chewed for 25 years. 2 cans a day for a good chunk of it. I was a complete junky. I could never put in a big enough dip and even then... It made me physically sick sometimes. After that passed... I'd chuck in another fatty to celebrate.

Damn.

I'm almost 2 years of cold turkey quittin'. Brother, if a junky like me can do this... You can too. You're on the path man. Stick to it because what's around the corner is brand new and amazing.
Alot of people in here counting on you just like you're counting on them don't let them down! You're doing great let the nic bitch know you are in charge! Respect her but don't be scared of her! Just an addict trying to help another addict! Damn proud to be quit with you today!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

Hi Justin I'm very proud to see you've found the inner man. The same man that wants just one more pinch. That man that is saying no to all of the cravings no matter how much your body begs you. Well I'm happy to welcome another June 2015 brother into the group. It is in fact a long bumpy road but we can do this. Just like yourself I also came across killthecan.org while looking for withdrawal symptoms and side effects. I wish you the best of luck. Don't you dare cave brother no matter how bad it gets don't cave. Have fun with your quit, you'll enjoy if more and more every day! PM me for digits.

Welcome to your freedom gargoose. Yep, withdrawal sucks - every addict eventually has to come to terms with it, if they mean to get free. The first few days are the worst for sure, but just to give you a heads up: once you get through the first 3 or 4 days, you'll start to feel better and sort of click along. But then at around two weeks, plus or minus a few days, you MIGHT start to feel shitty again for a couple days. Not everyone does, but a lot of us do. I did. I don't know as I've seen any scientific explanation for it, because as AppleJack noted, the poison is out of your body in 72-ish hours. Anyway, just wanted you to know that it could be out there on the horizon so you're not surprised if it happens to you. It's not uncommon.

Post roll, get some digits (shoot me a PM if you want mine), and be quit.

I quit with you today.

Oh man...I just had a long conversation with an older mentor of mine. I told him exactly that. I can't believe how much control that bitch has had over my brain. The fog doesn't seem as bad today but my head is killing me. And the dip is all I think about. Luckily I'm off work until Saturday.
There's 2 sides to this for you right now...

~ the real physical withdrawal from the nicotine you're addicted to.
It blows. It really does. There's no way around it sucking for a bit... Foggy, sleeplessness, anxiety, headache, etc. Everybody deals with it. The plus side?... It really does go away pretty quick all things considered. How long? Wish I could tell you but we're all different there. At 3 days nicotine is gone from your body... You'll be a clean machine. Take a victory lap for that one.

~ the mental game. This is where it can get very rough. At least it did for me. For awhile your body needs that fix... For a longer while you THINK you need that fix. All things in life are tied to dip and you just can't see around that one big thing. Le'me tell ya... Each day further from day 1 gets better and better. Sure, there will be down turns but, man, you're moving your life into a clean zone and it's badass. Freedom is more real each day. Embrace the now and revel in how hard this is. Not many people have the stones to do what you're doing.
Plain and simple... You're winning.
Rock on...
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten.

I started with you yesterday as well. Some minutes are better than I thought some worse. It's makes the day seem like it takes forever, I feel dizzy and light headed, and like you said everything in my life seems to be a trigger. I can't believe how much I crave it. Makes me realize the hold is had on me. I hope eventually it's not automatically popping in my mind every 2 minutes!

I've made it a whole 24 hours! I will wake up tomorrow on day #2 and sign in to roll call and do it all over again. Tonight was no joke. I've found that two things really bring the cravings: 1)Driving and 2) Absolutely everything else!!! But the nic bitch will NOT win!!!

Good night quitters.

Howdy, fellas. Justin here. Today, I quit a disgusting habit that has been building since my first plug with my grandpa at age 10 (or so). I'm 34 and I've been dipping daily for 16 years. I was searching online for withdrawl symptoms and ran across this site. I'm pretty blown away at the community of support y'all have created here. I'm gonna need some of that.

My last dip was last night before bed. My head hurts, I'm super dizzy and I'm starting to get hot flashes. The ladies in my office are pretty confident that I'm going through menopause. HA!

Anyway, I'm glad to be here!
Welcome gargoose, you have taken the first step, making the decision to QUIT and posting roll!...

Get involved with your group and build your brotherhood of accountability, the first few days ARE GOING TO SUCK!!! Drink a shit ton of water to help flush the nic bitch out of your system. Spend time here and read everything you can read and oh post roll EDD (every damn day) wake up, piss, post roll!

Quit with you today!
