So im 17 (underage I know)and I have been dipping for about a year now. I figured its time to quit before it gets any worse. I go through on weekdays about a can a day due to school and on weekends sometimes 2 cans a day. I have a half can in my pocket and i plan on dipping it all tonight and starting my journey to quit tomorrow. What are some ways i can get the urge to dip away. I love fishing and hunting but i always have a dip in when doing either so that could be hard and when i drive i always dip as well. Should i just push through it and take my mind through hell or are there any other ways you quitters have done. Thanks!

I need some expert witness been there done that testimony. I'm on day 4, day 5 starts at 11 pm ET. I quit a can a day and moderately heavy (maybe heavily moderate) alcohol use at the same time. Standard drinking would be 6 to 10 beers a night yes every one. Also at least a couple shots in the waning hours before bed. I know everyone is different but damn I was hoping I would be one of those 72 hour guys where I started to feel better. I'm guessing the combined alcohol/nicotene immediacy has my brain wondering WTF. I'm drinking plenty of water, gum of every flavor. My jaw muscles have never looked better.

What's the over/under on # of days until I get to phase 2? No danger here, still committed but I tend to meet expectations if I have an idea of the next goal. Not sure of the posting location protocol, please show me the way if in the wrong place.

Good questions, most dudes probably ask that stuff in the INTRODUCTION section. You'll get more replies there, I think. I'll head over and give my 2 cents.

Not to put a downer here, but I was worthless for the first couple hundred days.

But then one day.....I felt better. A LOT better, and it's been fucking GREAT ever since.

Patience. It will pass.

Hey Folks, I've been getting a lot of this...
"Your request timed out. Please retry the request."
It comes up often during roll as well as just viewing all the wildcahd shenanigan section. It doesn't seem to effect the posting but it requires a prompt to resend the form and what not. Any thoughts?

Hey man - I've seen this quite a few times lately as well. I THINK it has to do with the DOS attack (denial of service) that our host has been dealing with recently. This isn't specific to OUR forum, but all forums on the server. I've opened a support ticket with them. I'll let you know if I hear anything specific.

Thanks Chewie! I haven't had this problem again since the day after mentioning it. Thanks for looking in to it.

All, one major improvement in the new forum is that it tells you if someone is already posting before you post over top of them. Before you click on "Quote" look to the left side below that post, it will say how many users are viewing and then right below that if someone is posting it shares that as well. So this is a perfect case of slowing down a little bit to go faster.

Carry on...

'bang head' -- That about sums it up, a whole 3 hours into day 2 and I feel like i took a right hook in the jaw from Mayweather. This sucks. I am thankful I can't leave work b/c a stop at the gas stations is sounding really good right now. When I was reading about what it would be like to quit I didn't understand what ya'al meant by the fog... I get it now. Is there anything I can do besides slamming Red Bulls to try to wake myself up? I need to be productive today and so far I am not feeling it one bit.

The fog is unreal. You'll be okay man, you can do this. I just went through Day 2 and all that fog. Hell, I had hallucinations, for real that was no joke. My wife told me at the end of Day 3, you were like a whole different person. She told me I scared the hell out of her. Easy on the Red Bulls. Caffeine is not a good idea to be slamming down. Water and lot's of it. I bought a huge bag of jerky. I'd chew some up and then slide some in my lip for a while. You got this.
