I feel really good about this quit right now. I've managed to control my cravings thanks to this website, but one issue I've been having lately is not being able to sleep right since I quit. I was never someone who dipped throughout the day I always waited until I was winding down at night to have one and relax. So I am thinking that this might just be me needing to get my body adjusted to winding down without a chew. I keep laying in bed for hours, then once I do fall asleep I'll wake up again, and in the mornings I feel like I'm hungover. I was wondering if anyone may have some advice for me or if this is just one of the things that my body will just have to work out on its own.

Yea I can't sleep either. Lol 2 hours a night at best. I did use all day everyday so I think it's just more a withdraw thing but I'm no expert. I have no idea how to make it better; so if anyone knows a safe solution I would love to hear it as well!

I can tell you man it doesn't matter if you use all day everyday or just once a day, the addiction is the same and we're both finding out it's a bitch to kick. Although, I have sort of embraced the pain that is coming with it so far. I just wish it didn't make me completely useless for the entire morning while I try to snap out of my zombie like state. I have to say this still feels better than the guilt I had every night that I went to bed after chewing.

Im not sure if it helps in this situation or not but melatonin is always a nice safe way to get a good nights sleep. You can buy it at any grocery store in the vitamin section. One thing I've found through the years of using it before I quit is that it works best if you take it then immediately go to a dark and quiet room and lay your ass down. It helps shut off your brain and lets you fall into a deep sleep.

I did the whole waking up every few hours thing last night, so I'm going to give this a shot tonight and see how it works.

Anyways, heres to quitting with you.

Tks. I will give that a try.

I Just joined KTC today. I've tried quitting more times than I can count so I'm hoping to get it right this time. I've been dipping/chewing off and on for the past five years. I usually only have one or two dips a day, but I look forward to it all day. I started out chewing red man and recently switched to Copenhagen pouches, not that one is any better than the other. I'm ready to kick this nasty habit finally!

Don't HOPE to get it right. This isn't a multiple choice test where you don't know the answer so you guess C and hope you're right.

YOU control if you "get it right this time".

We can help because we've taken the test before and we'll let you copy off us.

The answers are here bro. Its up to you if you like what they are.

Hope ain't got shit to do with it...

You need ANYTHING, shout at me ANYTIME.

You WILL do this.

^^^^^ What he said.

I feel your situation. My screen name is no accident....... Radman is based on Redman. Damn Golden Blend was the vessel that sank the hooks in me many years ago. Read my HOF speech, and I bet you'll see some familiar progressions.

Get mad at them sumbitches that are trying to kill you!!! I'll never give a tobacco another dime. No sir, not one dime.

I can definitely see some very familiar progressions, radman. I hope that I will be able to stop these progressions with the same success that you have had now.

Nic10, now you rewire your brain to look forward to getting your promise made to the roll call every day. Once you make the promise, honor it! One day at a time is how it works!!!!!!

I don't see a promise today! 'Popcorn'

Just quit myself. Painful. Every minute is a challenge. Ever minute! Lol. But hey a year will pass and either you will be quit or we will still be slaves. We chose, no one else!

[AppleJack]

Welcome in bro! Best decision you'll ever make for yourself. Hard? Yes but oh so worth freedom! PM me if you have any questions or just need something. I'm 14 days quit today and I quit with you too!

Welcome to ktc and congrats on quitting. Its so much more than just a habit, its an ADDICTION rather you dipped for 30 min or 30 years!!! What about those few dips makes you look forward to it? The slow death that it can cause, the nasty breath, the tooth loss or all of the above? First thing you need to do if you haven't already is head on up to the salmon colored welcome center in the top left of screen and click it and read, read  read some more, then head over to the August 13 quit group and post roll and honor your word not to use for today then repeat tomorrow. Just take it one day at a time, don't worry about tomorrow, next week or next month; just worry about today. I will quit with you all day and everyday. If you need anything at all just pm me.
