I will post roll, but it will be shortly.   I can't copy and paste from my phone. 

Headaches suck.
lack of sleep sucks.
temptation to dip is there
But being strong is better than caving. 

I'm a quitter.

Day 3!   1 day at a time.
Good job. PM me if you need personal assistance.
oz, headaches are from your brain getting more oxygen that it is used to. Thats a good thing by the way. They will go away. The sleep thing will clear up too. Now would be a good time to reflect on how much damage that shit has done to you to make you feel SO BAD after stopping it.

you got this
Fog should be lifting a bit in the next couple of days. Hang in there, bro.
Holy shit OZ!!!!

You should be on day 4 by the time you read this. Today is a wonderful day because you will see a difference in your "suck" level by a lot.

Stick it out one day at a time. But at about day 16-17 post back here and let us know how your thought process has changed. You might be shocked.

Way to go Oz. As said the headaches will go away, the sleep will get better.

I found that drinking water, water, water helped my headaches.

you got this
"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

This morning I was talking to the wife, and she realized I was having some "issues".  I informed her it was the lack of nicotine from dipping that my body was craving.  She asked how long this new attitude would last, and I said it would be anywhere from now to 7 days, could be a little longer.

Magnum - you asked me yesterday if I had the money to buy it, would I go back?

Well, the wife looked at me and said "if it's going to give you problems - you don't have to stop ---- we can afford to get you what you want".......  I stopped, looked at her and smiled when I said "No..... I quit - and I don't want anymore". 

I am a quitter!
Hey oz... glad you had a chance to use that in your thought process.


Try to use this little story too.

When I decided to quit my wife was against it. She wanted me to quit eventually, but we just had an 8 month old, I am in college still, and life is just fucking chaos for us in general. So when I told her I wanted to quit her reply was "well, I won't support you because I don't want to deal with your shit ass mood". She asked me to please go buy a can of chew and order some more snus.

Would that statement make you think twice about quitting? Your wife saying I WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU and PLEASE GET SOME MORE?

Well guess what... I never thought twice about it. I am quit regardless of what she said. I made that decision and it was final. Not saying the road wasn't tough, it was hell from day one to day 14, but I had made the decision that I was done. Period. DONE

So if you ever, even once, in your quit think about caving because... "oh well, we can afford it now"... you better think about this conversation we have had.

Last, as I have said many times on here, think of everything in this world that you can NOT do without a dip in your lip... (hint, there is only one, and think before you read the next line)


That's right, the only thing you can not do without a dip in your lip is DIP.

When you are dipping it does NOTHING for you other than maintain the fact that you feel normal. It doesn't make you feel good after you are addicted. It simply makes you feel normal. Why would you make yourself a slave to something that doesn't do you any good?

That is where my line was drawn in the sand. Let me tell you, at day 88 I feel just as normal... actually even better than I did when I was a slave. Sure, I still have cravings, but a craving is just that, in 30 seconds it is gone. And I only usually get a couple a day.

Just show your wife some pictures like this and tell her that could be your face if you ever had just one more.

She'll never say that again.
Congrats on your decision to quit, OZ. Send your wife over to the spouses section and it will help a lot. My one regret in my quit was taht I ddin't get my wife involved earlier. Hopefully yours will get on the page to support you.
In my case my wife is who found and suggested this site. Seriously, the more your wife knows about what you and other quitters are going through the better. She will never truly understand your addiction, but will hopefully get that it's important to let you do what you need to do each day to keep that shit out of your face.
try asking her this, would you:

A. Short term say it is ok for me to have the dip I am craving

Or

B. long term live without me as I will be six feet under

Or

C. Please let me educate you on what I am going though, and I can accomplish this with your support, so I my be here to experience this life we are building together!
