COMPLETELY!

In fact, if you were just fine it would actually ABNORMAL.

Stick around, read a lot and ask questions. I won't tell you it will be easy but it's SO worth it.

Welcome!

Junior1967,

I too dipped for 25 years and found this site a couple of days ago. Sounds like we have a similar story.

First off, let me congratulate you on day 3. I too am on day 3 and your system is just healing itself from the poison we've been feeding it for all these years. This is normal, there are phases we'll go through, symptoms we'll experience while our bodies detoxify and rid themselves of the nicotine.

This site has tons of information for you. If you need anything, someone is always willing to help, that's what is so unique about this site, don't be afraid to ask or visit the chat room for help. We're all in this together!

Keep it up and don't let the urge sway you, stay strong and commit to yourself! You can do this!

Fighting an addiction by yourself is hard enough, but fighting it with others who know what you’re going through and will fight side by side with you makes that battle a hell of a lot easier.

Welcome Junior1967. I also dipped for over 25 years. Today is Day 9 for me. It's starting to get easier but the cravings still hit when I doing something that I would normally do with a dip in. Don't forget to jump over to the Quit Groups and post roll with the June 2009 Quitters. It's important to post roll every day, it helps to hold us accountable for the day. Anyway, glad you're here and congratulations on making the decision to quit!

You can do this! We can do this together!

Stay Quit!

THE FOG

you're a couple of days/weeks in... you're feeling good about your decision to quit... but some thing's just not quite right... you feel "dizzy".  maybe not quite dizzy, but like you've had a beer or two.  you're "off".  you don't feel quite right.  you can't concentrate.  reading is difficult and typing is damn near impossible.

welcome to the fog ladies and gentlemen.  i can tell you that it will pass.  i can't tell you when.  i can't tell you how foggy it will be... but i can tell you that you'll get out of it.

i quit on july 24th, 2006.  my birthday was august 2nd.  i literally don't remember what i did that day i was so foggy.  i was playing ping pong with a co-worker that week and almost fell over... i was having trouble tracking the ball.  i couldn't concentrate on work.  i couldn't think about family.  i was focused on my quit and how bad life SUCKED without my friend the kodiak bear.

and then something happened ~~ the fog lifted.  i saw the light.  i didn't need dip anymore.  sure there were bad days, but i wasn't feeling like crap anymore.

you too will see the light -- you too will get out of the fog.  i promise you!!! i know it's difficult to believe at this point in your quit, but trust me/us -- we know what we're talking about.

realize this... you NEVER have to go through the fog again once you get through it -- unless you cave.

you never have to feel this crappy again -- unless you cave.

you've taken the first step, you're quit and you're on the site.  now take the next step and walk through the fog.  you'll have a new outlook, a bunch of great friends and a dipfree life!

29 days nicotine free for me and I agree ~ it's getting better everyday!
It is such a relief not to be controlled by the chew anymore. I didn't realize how much it controlled my life until I quit. There are so many other things that are so much more important than nicotine. And it is wonderful to be quit!

30 days in & agree with you. Life is great & getting better.

Just a heads up for you - After really sailing along relatively easily, something happened to me on 26-29 - call it fog, funk, fonk, whatever, it was not fun. I couldn't think, sit still, do anything really. It cleared up and I now feel great again. Since then, several people have told me this happened to them and it will likely happen again, only not as intense. They all said it happened at various times in their quits.

Just an FYI in case it happens to you, so you don't get caught off guard.

Good luck and great job you two
