So for 4 years you haven't been scared but today you are scared because someone could confirm that you may have cancer or not? This is addict thought processing...I would like to think that you do not have cancer I don't wish that on anyone but if you are told today that you don't are you still quitting or did you just stop here because you are grasping at straws. Seems to me that if you invested a bit of the scared energy into quitting you would almost be out of the woods for cancer scares...either way good luck

good call on joining but i'm a little confused on the "rejoin". Were you a member and caved or whats the story on that ? Just wanting to clarify. I pray you and all of don't have cancer from this bullshit.

Mike, best of luck on your dental visit. However you need to decide if you want to quit or not regardless of the outcome of that visit. You joined 4 years ago but decided not to quit? How about this time?
I can assure you that quitting will be one of the best decisions you have ever made, but you have to want it and work at it. I won't wish you luck on quitting, as there is no luck involved there. Either you are or you are not...

I quit for 1 year but started back dipping. I joined the site but never took part in the support groups.
I am scared, every time I go to the dentist I get worried. Im more afraid of the pain and withdrawals from nicotine.

I would think the pain of jaw, tongue, etc removal would be worse. Quitting is hard and you have to have the right attitude. I'm on Day 32 and more confident in my quit than when I stopped for 3 years. The difference is accountability and facing your fear head on. Don't quit because of the dentist, quit because YOU want to otherwise it won't work. Either way, good luck. BTW prayers are what brought me to KTC. I asked God for help and this time I listened.

I don't know raider....i worry that this gentleman is scared to go to the dentist and get a lecture. Do you want to quit for yourself or for your dentist? I'm not trying to be a dick but i remember "stopping" many times just to appease my dentist, then i'd buy a can on the way home from the dentist office. Reflect a bit here mike.

Not trying to be a dick. I also did the same technique. Stop a few days prior to an appointment only to throw one in while I was still in the parking lot. Stopping because he wants to is the only way to succeed. It sounds like he is scared to death. I was too when I came on here 32 days ago. It was some tough words by some of these people in here that made me realize that "I" wanted to quit for me and nobody else.
I hope he finds it in his heart to quit for himself.

And I get what you are saying Mike. Sometimes the raw emotion of seeing someone who sounds amazingly like me clouds my judgement on what I type.

What I meant to say was the thought of the pain that could potentially happen because of dipping should outweigh the pain of the withdrawals

Raider your post was fine you don't need to soften it up its true. joined 4 years ago and has 3 total posts all today because he is on the way to the dentist. All of what has happened just came to light today? hmmmm sounds like thoughts are clouded. My questions is if the dentist says looks good small amount of recession but over all good what are you going to do come back in 2018?

I misread jayd's post and thought maybe my comment about loosing the jaw or tongue was a bit harsh. Then i reread it and realized that he was not questioning me but questioning why this dude showed up here. I realize that my comments are not nearly as harsh as some off the other bad ass quitters around here and I am damn glad to be quit with them any damn day of the week, month, year, or whatever.
-
I appreciate all the support and don't mind the harsh ones either. I take full responsibility for my addiction and weakness.
I made the dentist appointment to have a fresh start and screening done. I am not worried one bit about my dentist telling me I need to quit. He is one of my best friends and I already know!
Thank you!

You will find it kinda hard to prove yourself but I am sure it can be done. Many people will see this as a whimper of help as opposed to a cry. Why is that you might ask? As it has been said before, attempting to quit because of an upcoming dental appointment is not worthy of a lot of time and effort. Quitting for yourself and no other reason is. You signed up 4 years ago, probably around the time when you had a dentist appointment and then you disappeared. I am assuming that appointment went ok and hopefully the next one will too but what happens if you keep on dipping and a future appointment comes with a cancer report from your friend, the dentist? Who are you going to turn to then? You are only given a few chances before people will not give you the time of day.
If you want to quit, then just do it. Suffer through the withdrawals, suck, fog, etc just like we have done or are doing right now. It is sooo worth it.
Flush any remaining dip in the toilet.
Read the Welcome Center at the top of the page.
Learn to Post Roll and do it daily. It's your promise to stay quit for today.
Enjoy the suck. It's gonna be a bumpy ride but it is awesome.
Get support from people on here.
We don't have hope or try in here. We quit. Plain and simple.
This will be my last post in your thread unless I see that you are quit. I hope I am not wasting my time but the least I can do is give you a few more minutes. I'm out

Well Mr Synfab you have been given some dam great advice from a rather new quitter that has stopped and drank the Kool-Aid. you have go to want this it has to come from you fear alone isn't good enough its a short term motivator and like all motivators they are short term. IMO its kinda of a dick move to make your friend tell you its cancer, but thats a different convo all together.
You can do this you just go to the July 14 group just as you have done and keep stacking +1's. Read read read listen learn. read hof speeches read what your enemy is build your tool box. Glad your appointment went well which means you dodged the bullet this time.
-
I like being proved wrong. I see you posted Day 2 on roll. That is awesome. One more day and things will be better for you. Like I said before, it's gonna suck then it won't. Keep proving me wrong. Your big test will be to see if you are still around after your dental appointment. Glad to be quit with you today.
Did you get rid off all your stash? Don't trash it, flush it. I know it may feel like you are abandoning and old friend but trust me, the Nic bitch is not your friend. She is you number 1 enemy and she is crafty. Be careful of her sultry words trying to call you back. You can do this.
Just remember to tell her, hey Nic bitch 'Finger'
-
I appreciate you keeping up with me and I need it. My dentist appointment went good and he gave me good report.
My temper is starting to show and im tired. I fill like taking a nap.
I will make it! I cant wait to be nicotine free!

I'm loving all this advice raider is dispensing. Quit on Raider!
You can indeed regain your freedom from your addict behaviors. I know what those are, because I am an addict too. But you have to want that freedom. This time you will quit, not just stop for a while or slow down. Not because of a dentist visit, but because you know deep down you need to quit. It is slowly (sometimes not so slowly) killing you. Time to take charge and quit being a slave to your addiction.
You've gotten great advice already. Read everything, learn what nic addiction is and what you are up against. Get involved, build your accountability to yourself and others. You can do this!

I started over the last few months seeing myself suffering and dying of face cancer. Fear is the best deterrent for me. I'm not scared of dying I am afraid of the suffering. I could not imagine a more painful death than face and oral cancer.

Amen brother...I'm scared too....KTC saved my life....Welcome to the best of your life.

As long as that fear continues, you will be ok. Once the fear subsides your guard will be let down and she will pounce. I know this because I lived it. I stopped for 3 years before and got cocky, then she struck with "just one dip" and fuck, I was hooked just like that. I could have been quit for the last 9 years. Now with KTC I am more confident than ever that I will not dip today, period. Why? Because I posted roll and made the promise to my brothers and sisters in here that I wouldn't cave. I am a man of my word. And that my friend is how it's done.

I feel really good but I am not sleeping very good. yesterday afternoon I had a terrible head ache.
I ate a big sausage biscuit this morning with my daughter at Chic Filet and craved a big dip afterwards.
I really appreciate the support!
-
here's some advice i got my first go around...don't sensationalize it as far as dip goes..don't use terms like "big ol dip" or old friend or whatever little thing you can think of that makes chew "special" to you. It may seem like i'm nitpicking your words and taking them out of context but it is the little things that if you can change will turn into big things.

Hang in there man. My story sounds just like yours. I quit Saturday....5 days a go. Saturday was not bad, but the trial really started Sunday evening. I was basically sitting in the living room doing nothing, because I didn't fell like doing anything. I was pissed, depressed, and....well.... pissed. I had cold flashes, and dizziness all night. Eventually I went to bed early and I stayed in bed from 8 PM Sunday til 10 AM Monday.
Hang tough.
We are with you.
If you can find the time...exercise.
I'm trying to jog/walk each day for 30-40 min. Seems to help me concentrate on my goal and feed my quit fire. cowboy

Water helped my headaches. I also took Motrin for it. As far as sleep goes I take Zzzquil an hour before I want to hit the sack.

Cranberry Juice and a shit ton of it...helps cut the fog...Raider said hit the sack...
Yep food was an awful trigger for me too just know its coming and do something different like fireballs or seeds. I ate about two fields of sunflower seeds in the beginning.

He will be back........right before his next dentist appointment. Apparently his friend the dentist was able to tell him he doesn't have cancer, yet. Moving on. Will waste no more time on Michael

I noticed when you posted roll this morning you put yourself under the "supporters" section. Be sure to post under the "new quitters" section so your name doesn't get missed on the spreadsheet. That could be why you were logged as MIA.
