I'm in your quit group too. This is day 1 for me. I'm so thankful that I found this site and all the support from everyone. Looks like a great place for help. I'm in the fog with you and it sucks.

Congrats on a great choice, Greg. You can do this. Post roll, read all you can and live free. Embrace the suck...that is the feeling of recovery. Your freedom is earned one day at a time here. We're all in this together. Reach out for support and NEVER go back.

Welcome to Quit Greg! I was a 25 year chewing degenerate fiend. I am now 56 days Quit. I too have a young family and I know the importance of staying above ground.

Just grind this bitch out. Start doing things for the first time nicotine free. For me it was watching the game with no dip, driving home no dip, playing play station no dip....WORKING with no dip (that is and was crazy hard for me)...Then your brain begins to realize....I don't need that shit to get through the day.

Find your group. Post roll every day. This is a hard core Quit group. If I can Quit....YOU can Quit. Welcome to freedom from tabacco.....It's much better on this side of the fence.

Good luck! KC Bronco

Don't yell at your kids!!! It's not their fault!!! I'm kidding (or am I?). I'm a dad, too. Most of the time they deserve it. Don't quit for them, though. I know that sounds bass ackwards, but you'll resent them if you do. Quit for YOU!!! I'm a single, widowed daddy and I always said I needed to quit for the kid. Not true. I needed to quit for me. The longer you go, the more that will make sense. Even after ten days it makes SOOO much more sense to me. First ten days in sixteen years that I can honestly say I'm proud of myself. Fatherhood is 100% hypocritical if you're killing yourself the whole time. Even as a newbie, I bet all the vets agree with me on that. Good luck. You can do this!!

Hi Greg, Congrats on the decision to quit today! try coming into chat or rant at us here on the site instead of taking it out on your wife and kids.

Second, it does get better, I promise.

You can start here-Welcome Center

It looks like you found your group in May '13. Post roll there and get to know your quit brothers and sisters. Don't be afraid to ask for help! You are not alone.

My Quit x 2
« on: January 24, 2013, 10:34:00 PM »
Hi all,

My name is Greg. I'm not that computer savvy, so I'm not sure where and how to post. I'll try to figure it out as I go.

I dipped for over 13 years. My latest brand was Copenhagen Wintergreen. I was at about 1 1/2-2 cans a day. I quit today.

Today is Day 1. There are waves of nicotine cravings as well as the cravings of putting a dip in my mouth. My mind has been totally foggy and in a dreamlike state. My ears are ringing. I felt cotton mouthed all day today. At one point there was a wave of muscle contractions (not painful) that sucked the air out of my lungs and made me bend over and collapse onto all fours.

I only yelled at my kids about 17 times. I'm sure they deserved at least one of them.
My wife looked at me after I got angry for no reason and said, "You're doing a good job hiding the withdrawal symptoms!"

I already sense the support KTC has for one another. I appreciate it.

Thanks for reading
Greg
