Well fellas,

I'm a 22 year old kid who stumbled upon dip and became a tin a day guy around 17 years old. I stumbled upon this site a year ago and read up on some of the stories. The fact of the matter is chewing tobacco has ruined my mentality. Its consumed my late night thoughts and has ruined my confidence in my own health. Yesterday was the day that I've decided to quit, not stop. The fact of the matter is I'm scared. Every time I get a cancer sore or bite my tongue and a white bump occurs I think I have cancer. This time is different than the other times I've tried to quit. I've never been more motivated. If I wasn't then I'd assure to you guys that I wouldn't disrespect these forums by not being all in with my endeavors. I envy people who don't have any addictions in their lives. Who can drive without throwing in a chew or who can sit in class and not crave. It's insane how scared I am that I might have some disease from dipping, to the point that I'm afraid to sit in a dentist chair because of the fear of bad news. Dipping has turned me into a hypochondriac. I started from my days of playing hockey, and it eventually consumed my every day life. As a college kid, its consumed my bank account which already isn't that great in the first place. I cant find one reason to not quit, except the fact that it is addicting. All in all, its time to get my life back. I know its going to be rough, but I guess that's why I decided to join this community, and to learn from others and to hear your stories. I feel weak, being an addict, and my goal is to over come the one thing that has been holding me down these years, and to live a healthy lifestyle, and to regain my self confidence and the confidence I once had when it comes to my own personal health. My first day without chew was hell, and I know its not going to get any easier for awhile but in the end I know its going to be worth it.

Cheers,

Tom

I had anxiety about my health all the time while I was chewing as well. The freedom of not having to worry about every sore is amazing. I'm glad to see your all in. Welcome to the group. I'm proud to be quit with you today.

Since you read up on the stories, and the fact you'll be deep into day 2 when you read this, you already know it won't be easy. You are in the hardest part, though. You already made the hardest decision and plan. All you have to do now is not cave. Fight those cravings, most last 1-3 minutes. Throw out all your cans? Talk to folks on this site, every quit is different, and every person uses different tricks and methods. No nic today is the only goal and level we judge and grade on here. Congrats on making the quit, no better time than now

Quit: 7-23-17 at 8:30am.....after a cave

Hell is when you tell your parents, family and girlfriend, that they are cutting your tongue out and replacing it with a muscle from your arm after the radiation fails....
Let's quit worring about it.... Take care of business one day at a time. How you doing this morning? I'll quit with you, let's get through the second day.

TH17, it's great you have made the decision to quit. The worry you mentioned has happened to all of us who have become addicts. Don't let fear be your primary motivation though.Let the benefits you desire of being quit motivate you instead. No one will bs you and say it's easy but rather more likely one of the most challenging things you will ever be faced with. Be strong. You mentioned you played hockey but are you a hockey player? If you are then you know the difference and know what I mean when I say be a warrior. Let the character traits you learned that made you a hockey player help you overcome and win the quit game. The mental part of this quit game is really paramount.

One day in and you already found your correct quit group?!!! Gentlemen, we have a damned GENIUS in our midst. Congrats on a great choice! Learn how and why we post roll. Then do it...everyday.

Quitting is done ONE DAY AT A TIME. Don't think about tomorrow, next week or whatever. We'll deal with them when they get here. All you need to focus on is being quit for today. Give your word and keep it. That's all there is to it.

GREAT JOB. YOU GOT THIS!
