Either post roll or find somewhere else to tell your story. That is the price of admission.

So today is day 28. This has been an interesting journey the past month. I haven't even come close to cracking, but not because I didn't have an urge. Some of my "friends" have been kind of douchy. Offering me a chew or beers even after I say no. To the point of me having to be a dick so they understand I don't want any of it. That being said, I'm learning to keep myself busy thinking about other things when I do get an urge. I'm not sure it'll ever feel right w/out a dip going, but I guess making the best of it is what we all have to do. I still am finding myself just wandering around and forgetting what I was going to do quite often, the "fog" I assume. My mouth is getting intermittent sores still, but I'm still using salt water to rinse out my mouth. I still get a funky feeling where it feels like my cheek feels funky, kind of flush I guess would be the description. Once in a while some bloating in my stomach, and a little heartburn here or there. Still lifting and eating very clean. Fruits and veggies as well as fish and very lean meats. I also go to the Sauna 2x's a week to cleanse my body of the crap I've been putting in it. My jaw doesn't seem sore any more and my throat feels back to normal. I know quitting is still affecting me, but I'm ignoring it the best I can. I hope everyone that's quitting can realize how much better of a life your going to have after a bit of suffering. The only thing that's sure is getting used to living w/out a substance takes alot of getting used to. I think of my kids and my wife and siblings all the time, and that's basically what keeps me from cracking. What I wouldn't do for a big fat pinch of Kodiak. Maybe on my death bed... heh heh heh

As the famous Joe Dirt once said, "Keep on keepin on..."

Look at what you're going through, see what you were doing to your body? It amazes me how we dip year's and destroy our body at the same time knowing were killing ourselves not worrying about anything except our next fix! We finally find ktc ,where we have thousands of people been through the same thing and understand how to help. So we quit were still addicts, our addict brain immediately starts to work on us, I feel like shit, I can't take a good shit without a dip, my anxiety level is overboard, I can't sleep but mostly I've been quit now a couple of weeks, I'm tired of feeling like this , not dipping anymore, why the hell I feel like this after being quit damn near 2 weeks now? I would go through all of the headaches, constipation, fog,anxiety and anything else the bitch throws at me for the freedom I've enjoyed for 357 days! It takes time, suck it up and get it done! Quit on!

yeh... I'm never going back dude. I'll never be a slave to any substance again. I really dislike that I've let myself be so ingrained with a habit. I've just gotta find other way to not think about it. when I lift and work out is about the only time the past few days. Guess I'll just have to do more of that. I'm actually writing all this so I remember how bad it sucks in case I ever forget. The Can gets a big fuck you from me today. Tomorrow starts week 4. Hopefully a home stretch to easier livin. :)

Preciate your words dude. The fog is still very much here. And a pile of anxiety as well. The sore tongue and mouth started a little more than usual, the sore throat is intermittent as well. I'll get through it.

For all of you what were your time lines? Like I've read week 3 is really bad. I've started getting some pretty nasty cravings, not that I'd give in, but I can tell I'm not Dippin. How long before your mouth cleared up? Ya know, the scratchy lip and cheek. Mine is intermittent, some parts of the day it's like new, other parts it feels sore and irritated. The throat thing has started to subside. I got pretty dizzy earlier, but that left and the foggy feeling started. Coincidentally shortly after I found one of those chew coupons and it really stimulated an urge to grab a chew. I have the smokey mountain, but I'm flat out refusing to chew anything. I feel that's the best tactic. Would yall agree on that?

Look here my brother, I dipped 38 year's been nic free 355 day's, now that's frigging awesome! It sucks ass and will till it don't! Sore mouth, jaw,throat , to the way I feel now is priceless! We stick that shit in our mouth for years and expect to heal in a couple weeks, not gonna happen. Consider this every damn second that poisons not in your mouth is a huge win. One day at a time, you can do that! Your brain has to rewire, your body has to heal, I've never read where anyone has died from quitting but there's a whole bunch from one's that never found ktc! Live ktc and Live! Quit on!

+1 agreed dude... Always in a rush, ya know... I'm just wanting it to end. I felt better before oddly enough.

Hey, you dipped for over 20 years how can you think 3 weeks is gonna reverse all that time? I know, I thought that recovery would be faster also! Well it's not, I started before you were born and I've been quit for 1350 days and I still have the occasional bad day or two. But I'm healing and realize that the bad choices I made in the past don't have to identify me but the choices I make today do. I am still an addict but I choose not to use.

Day19... Wow... I've gotten my first like insane cravings for chew today. Unbelievable that this long after I'd still get really strong urges like that. Salt water has seemed to help the sores that popped up in my mouth the past 2 days. I'm hoping this shit passes sooner than later... 'embarrassed'

It'll take you at least a year or so to unfuck yourself. The only way to get there is one day at a time. You've poisoned yourself for years. It's gonna take a while to feel normal again. Hang with us and post roll every single morning first thing. It's the only way to success and a new life of freedom. You never needed that shit and it fucked you up royally. It's evil. It's pure death. Stay quit with us, every day.

^^^^ listen to this guy.... His advice is spot on.

38 here. 25ish year user. Each day I thank God, KTC and the people of KTC that have helped me make this happen. Day 130 here and dang proud to be quit. I do know I can only quit one day at a time and I'm proud knowing that. I'm here for you if I can be of assistance. Quit on brother.

Heya Rok. I was 44 when I quit, a 17-18 year user and a 40-50 stopper. I only QUIT once, and I owe it to posting roll and getting support from men and women quitting with me. Join us and save your life.

yea man, Im in it for the long haul. I haven't given up at any point in the past couple weeks, but I've thought about packing one. I keep finding cans all over. Threw 3 brand new cans away the day I quit, and then a couple days ago I found a full can in my Jeep. Getting rid of that one was not an easy thing to say the least. I'll get there. Just wondering how long before all the funky stuff goes away. :D
