General Discussion - 2018

[FLLipOut]

General Question here:

I am on quit day 6 (honestly the best quit for me so far) Chewed for 9 years and I'm not having urges like all other quits, mainly because I am not even thinking about it. However what is affecting me the most right now are the difficult nights. I just randomly wake up periodically throughout the night.

I work out everyday since I quit and it isn't that I'm wide awake or have "the thoughts" (for those who smoke pot) when I go to sleep. I just wake up around 2 -4 hours after I fall asleep drink a glass of water and head back to bed.

Anybody else relate that has a solid solution for this? Maybe it's just because I quit so recent, should go away in a months time or so?

Thanks!

That was me for... oh, probably the first month. I was going to bed a lot earlier than usual (not staying up later to get that last chew in), waking up periodically through the night, and waking up earlier than usual.

Roll with it. It will pass as your body adjusts. I didn't use any sleep aids, but some people have used melatonin with good results.

I haven't been going to bed any earlier, I have found it easier to drift off to sleep however.

I've never been one to take sleep aids, never thought they would help. I think I'll just wait to see if it passes after a couple weeks.

I've gone with benedryl for a while and it worked for me. Hope you are able to get some good sleep.
sleep deprivation is a killer...
My wife and I also have a winding down routine that involves tea, decaf, like celestial seasonings sleepy time. It helps somewhat.
Hope I don't lose my man card for saying that!

Insomnia and otherwise irregular sleep patterns are extremely common side effects of the quit. Funny thing is, they don't really understand why. Good advice above. Just ride it out and know that it will right itself soon.

I didn't have trouble sleeping but are you exercising?

Yeah, since my quit my exercise has sky rocketed... I started working out about 10 months ago, dropped 60 lbs with basically the same workout - running or using the eliptical for 30 min. After 30 minutes I was pretty cashed out, legs sore, body dripping with sweat. My 2nd day quit I doubled my run (ran 60 min straight no stops). Felt godlike and after I wasn't even sore. Tired after the long day, but still waking up. Just don't know how to keep my body down, hah.

Also my dreams have been really fucking weird.

Riddle????

Who is black....is out at night....and has excellent hearing?

HELP!!! Biggest problem I'm having with my quit so far is not having something in my mouth. I have tried gum, toothpicks, seeds, etc. none of that cures the itch. I just recently found out they make tobacco and nicotine free dip but all of the ones I've tried have been super dry. The biggest thing for me is finding something that will produce enough saliva to spit like I used to. I prefer the pouches but am not opposed to "long cut" suggestions. THANK YOU!!!

Smokey Mountain works for me. Wintergreen and straight. Also, I just ordered Hooch spitfire. I have heard that itÂ’s gooood.

I like the grinds personally, has a benefit, actually helps you not gain weight because it handles the mouth feel and also cuts calories from not needing to drink coffee. plus if you liked pouches they come in pouch style. And they taste bomb as shit in the caramel.

Does anybody have any suggestions for the concentration thing. IÂ’m really struggling at work.

Why don't you join us and post-roll every day, and you won't have to do it by yourself

flavored toothpicks, coffee, and exercise (drink a lot of water)

Make a to do list. Start at top. Cross off when you get stuff done. DonÂ’t leave till your list is done. ThatÂ’s what I do at school.

There's an entire page on the main site about smokeless alternatives - including reviews  ordering information.

I tried Ryan Express at one point. Very different - very juicy, too, but I found myself sucking on it like candy instead of spitting, since it's made from muscadine grape skins.

I found I was able to get a good spit going with beef jerky stuffed in there - or even the "guts" of a beef stick.

What day are you on? What fake brands have you tried?
