Hello all.
I'm here to help motivate anyone who is wishing to quit. I know this will sound cliché but I will say it anyway.... "If I can quit ANYONE can" (you just have to want too)
I dipped for 27 yrs, yes 27 yrs.
My story- I started dipping when I was 17, my brother dipped so did my dad. Copenhagen HappyDays were their poison. I followed in their footsteps with the ever so sweet Hawkens snuff. For years it was my choice then on to Skoal, Copenhagen.
Then RedSeal came into my life. Oh my goodness! By 1 get 1 free packs everywhere it seemed I gobbled them up. 2 can a day habit. My thing was I would never
keep a chew no longer than 15 min then I would spit it out...talk about wasting $. I did.
Fast forward to JAN 20, 2016....the day I quit.
My wife I are eating supper I felt something on my inner lip with my tongue. I blew it off thinking it was food it would go on down with a drink. It did not.
I kept feeling this bump with my tongue thinking what the hell is stuck to my lip. I get up go to bathroom mirror..... about shit my pants! My heart felt like it was about to pump outta my chest.
The part of my lip where I dip 90% was a black boil looking sore about the size of a pencil eraser. Just nasty looking!
I gathered my thoughts went to the computer to yes..read symptoms of mouth cancer.
Once again my heart was racing. The pictures, symptoms just about made me sick. It was time to quit.
I told no one about my lip after 2 days the sore went away.
Here I am today Tobacco free since JAN 20th, Yes it was a bitch to get this far still is but it can be done!
Nicotine gum, herbal mint snuff help a lot, Jolly ranchers too.
For 27 yrs I dipped tobacco. You can quit....I did.
Good luck to all.

There is a ton of support but you need to go cold turkey off nicotine of any kind.
