its been 4 days since i quit dip after about 5 years of use.  started off maybe a tin a week, eventually got to a tin a day if i was also drinking... which i've also done a lot of for the past 5 years.  i'd use any flavor.. sometimes even mix varieties of skoal into bullshit concoctions.  but i quit because it was fucking stupid and i was slowly but surely killing myself. 

i feel angry, irritable, am having trouble sleeping and really just miss the actual activity of dumping that poison in my lip.  i've apparently spit into my own hand while dip dreaming.  grabbing my keys around this time of night to get a tin is apparently a habit.  never bought rolls so i could 'pace' myself.  what an idiot.

my anxiety has skyrocketed as of late which really informed the quit.  waking up trapped in fear like some gutless punk. 

but it ended 4 days ago and i feel empowered.  these forums are a good new help for me so thanks for the courage and wisdom. 

looking forward to day 5.

Great job Darth! and great decision to quit that crap.

I also experienced the symptoms you're having - couldn't sleep, headaches, and my brain was in a bad "fog" for quite a while too - maybe 2 weeks? I also had the anxiety. I can tell you that it does get better. Taking a walk or some sort of exercise, along with deep slow breathing, will help it pass when it gets bad.

I quit with you today!

All part of the process Darth. You will endure some head games and some mood swings, but it's all worth it and all means to an end.

By now, after 4 days, all of the nicotine is cleansed from your system. Everything you experience from now on is just your brain reprogramming itself to survive without a toxin running through it. Your brain will tell you that you NEED to have a dip and that things will be so much better if you buy a tin or bum one off a buddy. It's lying to you. Stay strong, post roll, use the tools this website provides.

thank you. waking up to day 5 without a nicotine hangover feels great. i used to dip the most late at night, hidden away from my fiancé and friends. i'm still a bit confused about the 'posting roll' but i'll give the welcome center another read.
Try this it is a video about how to post roll. Hopefully this will help a little bit. Keep up the good work.
