you know what..I am getting pissed about this shit. I am posting shit in July and I have a lot of questions about getting off this shit for good. I have had a lot of days where I was a nats ass from caving. I am yet to receive any kind of support here.
Do I need to donate some$ before someone tells me why the fuck I feel so jacked after being off the shit for 11 days?
Is everyone hiding or am I at the wrong forum or what?
I want to kill something right now. I want to smash a rock with my head. I'm feeling all fucked up from not chewing and hoped I would find someone who can relate here. Do anyone of you know or have felt this way?
You're pissed, you want to kill something, bash your head in, you're all fucked up?
Sounds to me like you're right on fucking track. If you're looking for the magic cure, forget it. There is none. You just have to suffer through this shit like the rest of us did. It's your body paying you back for all the years of shoving that fucking poison into your face. You just have to hunker down, and white-knuckle it through the first couple of weeks. It can, will, and does get better. I promise you that. No little round can of shit is going to make you feel better. It will only send you back to day 1 and going through the shit again. No support? Scream louder, maybe. Hit the chat room. We're all here for you, sometimes you just have to raise a little hell to get the ball rolling. You've got rage, anger, madness? Bring it all right here, it's what we do best. Keep strong and keep clean, it's the only way out brother.

P.S. Read all the articles, HOF speeches, etc. Find ODT's website, that'll keep on the straight and narrow. _

SIK,
The first 2 weeks were some of the worse days of my quit. After I got past 2 wks I hit cruise control for about 20 days. I promise it will get better! You just have to stay vigilant. Stay strong. Occupy yourself with something else to try and get your mind off the dip.

You can and you will succeed! Tell yourself every day, "I will beat this addiction. I will be tobacco-free for today. I will not worry about how I'll handle my quit in the future. I will stay free today. I will concentrate on today. I am more powerful than this addiction! The nic-bitch and the devil can just go to hell! I will NOT let them run my life! I will never go back to slow suicide by using the dip. It will kill me and leave my family and friends mourning over my lifeless, cancer racked body and my disfigured and scarred face. I will not let my kids see me suffer a slow and painful death from using the dip. I am free today! Come hell or high water, I WILL NOT DIP!"

Every time you get in front of a mirror, look yourself right in the eye and say (out load if possible) "I am stronger than this addiction. My will to live is stronger than my desire to dip. Therefore I will never dip."
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Just curious if any other quitters have encountered these symptoms:

heart pounding. Seems like since I have quit ( march 11 ) I can feel it, especially when I lay down.

easily winded. I went hiking near the rocky mountains two days ago and felt out of shape...which I am because i haven't been exercising much since summer.

Panic attacks. I've had them in the past, especially when under a lot of stress. And in addition to my commitment to quitting, I am also fighting through some financial troubles...not all bad...but much more stress than usual.

Mood swings. wow, talk about ups and downs.


---------------------
All that said, I have noticed that my intense laziness is subsiding. I've basically accomplished very little at work since quitting. Today is really the first day where I've felt like I wasn't a slave to this addiction.
ATV,

It seems I remember the heart pounding thing...I guess when you're head's not buzzin' due to the nic you notice things more. I would say you just need to get into better shape....after the first 3 or 4 days quit, I had tons of energy and felt like it was much easier to breathe. Panic attacks? I guess I've really never had one like I've seen described by others. Except maybe when I took off on the job, forgot my 'lil can-o-death, and couldn't buy another until lunch. :wacko: Those days are gone, I am much healthier, and can hike up any hill without my heart pounding inside my head. Life gets better, hang tough, stay clean. Drink lots of water and get some exercise. I'm sure some others have something to say about the panic attacks and heart pounding, so I hope they'll chime in on the subject.

Take Care,
Quittin'Time

I'm right there with you man. I'm at day 28 and I can tell you the first half sucked bad.

You have made a great accomplishment getting to where you are.

I have been using lipton cold brew iced tea bags, but I am now winding down on that...no need anymore.

You have to re-learn how to live your life without this crap, dont forget that. And it is a battle against anger and depression during this lesson.

Good luck. Don't give up.

Learning to live without chew is similar to learning how to do everything for the first time as a child. With practice and commitment, success is there for the taking.
Does that mean that hitting the hall is kinda like getting potty trained??
