Quit Dipping Timeline

If you’re looking for a quit dipping timeline, your in the right place. This timeline covers the milestones throughout the first year of quitting chewing tobacco.

When you quit dipping on your own, one of the biggest problems is that you don’t really know what to expect. Yea—I mean you know what quitting feels like already—but you don’t really know how long it lasts and when you will start to feel better. That is why we put together this timeline, it covers the first year of quitting chewing tobacco. Each of these milestones may be a little different for each individual, but just about every quit follows the same path.

We know about this path because we help quitters find freedom from dip. So we have seen this pattern over and over. If you think you need more help quitting, head on over to our forum. We have a really helpful support system set up. Along with all of the tools that you will need to help yourself get through this successfully. We don’t force anything on anyone, and you can take what you need from this place and leave the rest. But if you’re serious, head on over to the forum and post roll with your quit group.

The Quit Chewing Tobacco Timeline:

• Day 1: You’ve had your last fix, made the decision to quit, and mentally prepared yourself for the suck. You have to hang in there, and know that it is going to get way worse before it gets better. If you haven’t already, head over to our forum, register and figure out how to post roll.
• Day 2: You are now in full throws of withdrawal. As hard as this is, and as crazy as this sounds, you must embrace this and accept the fact that thing will get better, soon.
• Day 3: Most describe this day as the worst of the first three, but every quit is different. Remember how this feels, bottle it, for later.  One day you will be tested, and when that day comes, you will need remember how this feels so that you wont ever have to go through it again.
• Day 4: According to research, the nicotine should be close to or completely out of your body. This doesn’t mean the end of withdrawal, but now is when your brain and body start rewiring its chemistry.
• Day 7: You have successfully been quit for an entire week, congratulations. You are still feeling the symptoms of withdrawal, but they lessen and become less frequent with each day.
• Day 14: You are starting to feel a lot better, you still have craves, but it is becoming more manageable. A lot of quitters feel so good at this point that they let their guard down, this is one of the biggest mistakes you could ever make.
• Day 21: All quitters and quits are different, but a lot of quitters describe what we call a ‘funk’ around the three week mark. Some describe it as being close to or as bad as the first three days. It usually only lasts a couple days, so know that there are good days just around the corner.
• Day 30: You are now four weeks quit and starting to feel a lot better. Your craves and other symptoms are getting further and further apart, your starting to heal.

• Day 60: You are now quit for 2 months, and starting to feel really good. Things that used to seem impossible, are now doable. Your confidence is high, as it should be. Just know, you must still keep your guard up because a lot of quitters have a big test right around the corner.
• Day 90: You are quickly approaching the 100 day mark, time usually flies up until this point, but many quitters describe time dragging between here and 100. Many quitters also describe another funk around the third month mark. Some compare it to the withdrawal of the first week, many experience a bout of depression or the ‘emotional despair’. Things are going to get way better, keep that in the back of your mind. Its time to start thinking about your 100 day Milestone Insight.
• Day 180: Six months, this is huge. You are through the worst of it. Life is starting to look a lot better and your confidence is very high, as it should be. There will be a few little bumps in the road, but it should be clear sailing to your first year quit.
• Day 365: Congratulations. You have made it too 365 days quit! This truly is something to celebrate. You have seen every season, done all the things you thought you couldn’t without chewing tobacco, and you came through on top. You must not think of this as the end, it is more of a beginning. Stay vigilant, keep the quit site close, and enjoy your freedom.
