First off, hello everyone. My real name is Steve. This is day 13 of my quit. I dipped Copenhagen over the past 17/18 years. I went through a can a day. Any, I have been to the dr. and dentist and got cleared of anything that could visibly be cancerous which for a while made me feel good. Now the last 2 days (days 12-13) my anxiety levels have just been through the roof. I feel like a 6 year old who is in the principals office waiting for his parents to show up at the school because he got caught sticking his hand up a little girls dress. Is this really normal? I don't want to keep going back to the dr. but something's gotta give!!!
Hey, Steve, a lot of folks, including me, struggled with anxiety during the initial stages of their quits. Some even ended up at the ER, thinking their panic attack was a heart attack. It's quite normal. But that doesn't mean it's easy to handle.
Keep active. Get lots of exercise. And, if you need a sleep aid, try Tylenol PM or even Nyquil. Others may chime in here, but for me the exercise helped the most.
