General Discussion - 2018

[DonkeyMN]

IÂ’ve been dipping for 13 years and I decided to quit on Jan 6, 2018. Day #5 and I woke up this morning with a sore throat, runny nose and a headache that wouldnÂ’t stop. My jaw has been slightly hurting along with body aches. I purchased a nicotine patch and slapped it on today and it actually seemed to help me. I am also using Smokey mountain herbal snuff (straight) and that helps at night while at work.
I honestly am proud of myself for making it 5 days. I think I scared myself into thinking I had cancer or would get cancer. My mind has been racing these past 5 days. ItÂ’s crazy to think something as simple as a can of dip can take hold of you like this.
I recently found out my wife is pregnant. I want to quit for her and the baby. Those two are my driving force behind all this mess. This mess...I put myself in this mess because 13 years ago I thought IÂ’d be cool and start using smokeless tobacco. Everyone was doing it and it was the thing to do. Growing up hunting, fishing and playing sports. I played college football and it seemed everyone used smokeless Tobacco. I know everyday is going to be a grind but IÂ’ll push through and make. IÂ’m thankful I found this site.

Yep, hate to break it to you, but the nicotine devil just whispered in your ear and you listened bro.... no patches. No cigarettes. No Cigars. No snus, dip, chew, anything. This is a NO NICOTINE website. Cold turkey, pull up your big boy pants and walk the road that is paved before you here.

Congrats on your upcoming child. Give him or her a clean dad to look up to.

The key is posting roll, your promise. Follow the link Batdad provided above and join your April group.

The patch is simply replacing the chemical you are withdrawing from... Cold Turkey is the way to go.

5 days is bad ass... 6 would have been better.... Lets do this together!!


Throw out everything that contains nicotine!! And post a day 1 in the April group!!

A couple 5 hour energies and some Smokey Mtn Herbal got me through the night. Should keep me chugging till I get to a doc. :D Anyone else experiencing this know that 5 hour energies are a safe stim to clear your noggin in a bad situation! Anxiety is a bitch and ADHD is a real bitch.

Thanks for the kick in the britches!

Glad you didn’t cave - but did you trash that can? You basically just played Russian roulette and heard ‘click.’ I want to make sure you don’t still have a round in the cylinder.

Down the garbage disposal...

I quit almost 8 years ago. I am experiencing something strange lately. Cravings worse than when I first quit. Talking with my wife she agrees that I never got over the physical effects of quitting. I am angrier, more stressed, easier to set off, etc, and over the last 2 months it is becoming exponentially worse. I feel like a powder keg just waiting to explode.

There is a possibility of it being linked to ADHD-C. I am hanging on by a thread but I actually have a can sitting in my kitchen. Not sure I am wanting to stay quit as I know that flood of nicotine will do what it did for 25 years. Soothe the beast. At least until I can get to a doctor and get diagnosed and start treatment.

Has anyone that quit long term dealt with anything like this? I have started binge eating along with all these other problems. Fake dip, seeds, nothing works to settle me down. Any ADHD sufferers out that have experienced anything like this? Considering trying vaping, e cigs, or gum/patches to get a hit without the poison that is in tobacco, but I am feeling like I am losing control.

Flush that can down the toilet! Immediately.

I canÂ’t speak to your symptoms, I havenÂ’t been Quit that long and it sounds unusual that withdrawal and cravings would still affect you. Have you been using some other form of nicotine or other drug?

You might want to speak with a specialist or even a psychologist to explore what might be triggering your response.

I do know that the can on that table doesnÂ’t contain the answers and it wonÂ’t make your life any better. If after 8 years Quit you are short tempered and irritable, hell maybe youÂ’re just an irritable guy with a short temper! All opening that can will do, is make you a short tempered guy who just threw away 8 years of quit.

Its amazing the tricky nic bitch still playing mind games after 8 years quit. Dont fall for it, its a trick. Flush that shit is right. 8 years and you bought a can? Cmon bro.

How about try walking, working out, doing push ups, cleaning the garage, painting the bathroom, ANYTHING other than adding another problem to your life by opening that can, e-cigging, patch, etc.... DONT DO IT

Give this a read Shagaroo. It may give you some perspective

I quit 24 hours ago. I feel really antsy and like I'm in a mental fog... I know it's going to get better but as of right now "fuuuuu this".

I'm going to beat this addiction! Can someone just hold me and tell me it's going to get better?

It gets better sir. I promise.

*Chewie Hug*

Welcome Tiz! If the hug from Chewie wasn't enough, consider posting up with these guys: topic/30424041/85/#new. Post a promise there not to use nicotine for one day. Keep that promise. Repeat.

They might hug you, or put a boot up your ass depending on what the situation calls for, but if you hold up your end of the bargain, they will help keep you quit through anything that comes up.

And yes, it will get better!
