18 year chewer ready to quit

I woke up this morning with the same sore throat I've had for probably 2 months now. It's freaking me out and I'm getting married in 2 weeks. So I'm ready. Well almost ready I guess. Do I set a quit date or just do it now? Quitting freaks me out, so I thought October 1st was an easy day to remember and do math with. I'm 33 and have only had two 5 month stretches of being quit since I started at 14. The only times I don't chew are when I sleep, and when I eat.

I'm sick of spit cans. Of having to swallow in company meetings. Of having raw cheeks, a sore throat. Of having to buy new jeans only because the back pocket wore all the way through. Sick of not wanting to kiss my hot fiance because I'm worried I smell and taste like shit. And I'm sick of not wanting to look inside my mouth in the mirror because I'll see something that looks like cancer.

I've tried gum, patches, and wellbutrin. I've only ever had any success cold turkey.

So that's where I'm at. Pretty scared right now, should I go see a doc, or wait and see if the sore throat goes away after a couple weeks quit?

I don't follow...did you quit two months ago? If so, might want to go to the doc. But if it is a brand new quit and you're developing a sore throat or sore spots in your mouth...give it a week or two.

Great choice. No pills, no patches, no bullshit excuses...just post roll everyday and keep your word.

man I went 4 hours, and it's like this whole new experience. But I started drinking and playing video games online so I could zone out and not think about chew, and I started raging. Finally ran to the store and bought a can. Dudes this is hard as fuck. I haven't ever been this serious about quitting, but I'm worried I'ma be like that dude with throat cancer who still can't quit.

You should be worried.

No more alcohol- not this early in your quit! If you caved- post day 1 and get serious. It might not be easy but it can be done. Take it one day at a time- no nicotine today. Honor your promise. Wake up tomorrow and repeat. It's time to stop playing Russian roulette with cancer.

yeh I totally started raging on everything, and when I finally bought it and put a dip in, I calmed right down. I was in rehab for alcohol this spring on top of it. I'm just a fucking addict. I've been addicted to wvery class of substance or behavior on earth, and Im sick of it. My throat HURTS all day long, and has for awhile. And I sit and trip that my lymph nodes are TOAST which means it'll spread super fast, which means I'm a fuckin statistic.

Time to go see a doctor and be honest with him/her...If you have an affinity for hard liquor coupled with long time tobacco use- you probably at least have acid reflux. It needs to be treated before it causes permanent damage.

I know you can do this- If I can- you can. The question is will you choose to do it. Will you choose to endure some discomfort in exchange for freedom?
