General Discussion - 2014

My name is Rich, started dipping at age 12, daily can an a half habit since I was 14, so 33+years. I've quit because my 10year old daughter wants me around a long time and because it was just "time". I quit on Sunday 4/20, on 4th full day without tobacco. In the past I had tried hypnosis and nicotine patches, gum never made it past day 1. I am using the smokey mountain herbal snuff. and it seems to help. Got a few questions for those of you who have been where I am.
Yesterday, day 3 was the worst. When is this going to get easier?
I am having pain in my jaw, pallette, neck and tongue. Like I have been chewing all day long. Is this normal?

Need some advice from the vets out there! I am just over 60 days quit. I have been having dreams that I am dipping, pretty much every night for the last 2 weeks. This has happened on and off since I quit but, has become more consistant recently. Anyone else have this experience? I am trying to figure out when this was most intense in other people's quit and when it will start to go away. Sometimes the dream feels so real, when I wake up I feel bad, like I caved! Any thoughts would be appreciate!

The Cave Dream.

I get them every now and then. They feel very, very real. For me, they never were a constant thing, just random.

All I can tell you is, your body is throwing a temper tantrum. That's what the dreams are about. Subconsciously, your brain is still asking for it's fix.

Be strong. They pass, and become few and far between.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, hopefully this is a short lived trend. It definitely shows you how dependent you really were! It is a good feeling when you realize you didn't cave. So I guess that's a positive.

I just want to know some little things that I can do, after a meal or getting in my truck or tractor, or stepping on that ball field to help me from freaking out.

For many folks, fake dip is the way the scratch that itch in those cases: http://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smo ... ernatives/

If that's "too close" for you, sunflower sees, gum, etc. will go a long way.

What ^^^ he said.

I used fake dip like it was my job for the first couple hundred days or so. I also had seeds, coffee grinds, tea bags, basically anything I could find without nicotine in it. All that matters is that you keep from stuffing your face with cat turd.

I was a Copenhagen guy for 20+ years. My personal preference was Hooch Spitfire for fake stuff. I also really like Oregon Mint Snuff pouches. I liked to have a little 'bite' in my cheek, but that was just me.

Stay strong. Stay Quit.

So if anyone is looking at this I have this: Laptop or pc... I go to my group or any group. My option is set to go to first unread post in a topic. I end up somewhere a couple of pages back in the middle of a page. So I hit the end key find where I want to be and hope to post roll. When I go back in it takes me to the last post. Why doesn't it take me to the last post at first? Also I am noting that participation is going down especially in the morning when it is better for most to post roll. Is that my imagination or is it because of the new site hiccups? Just askin...

i'll take a stab... with most forums (fora?) if i'm engaged in a discussion, like in the politics thread, i'd like to see what's happened since i last checked in. see who's calling me names and whatnot. so the default is to send me to the first post i haven't read. somehow my computer knows i last viewed post #1234 in that thread (or maybe that post #1234 was the last post in the thread when i last visited) so it sends me to post #1235. next time it will remember the thread ended at post #1247, etc. this is absolutely great in a medium to high volume discussion thread. just not so great for roll call.

but man don't toss your cookies or you'll be back to the beginning of every thread.

make sure you're on the last page when you post roll though or you're gonna bump some people!

Gotcha drome. Don't get me wrong. I am navigating pretty well on here, and do a lot of unbumping myself. I'll watch next time to see if it takes me to where I was the last time I was in a page... Still would be good if someone figured out how to let us go back to las post being at the top of the page and that's where you end up when you go in. Whatever...
