I gave up Copenhagen a month ago after chewing for over 25 years. I just woke up one day and said fug this, I'm done and gave it up cold turkey. I had read in advance that giving up chew was equivalent to knocking a heroin habit because of the amount of nicotine in a single pinch of chew. I knew what I was in for in advance and it still kicked my ass. I ran the same emotional gamut you are going through and was a world class dick weed to be around. I am just now leveling off. It must have taken that long for all the nicotine to leave my system. There were days when I was about half crazy. I would go from zero to sixty on the pissed off scale in about two seconds. Now that it’s over with (knock on wood) I feel a lot better, have more energy and have been hitting the weights and kick boxing hard again. What you are going through is totally natural, a pain in the ass, but totally natural. Expect your emotions to be off the chart for a period of time. If you get pissed off around your family or friends, take a walk, get out of there. Just know you made the right choice, the smart choice, things will level off, and you will be a stronger person for having the rocks to kick the habit. Hang in there and good Luck!!
