Title: I quit
Post by: Lattimer on February 23, 2011, 01:12:00 PM
On Monday the 21st, I had a 4pm dentist appointment. The dentist was concerned about the irritation from dipping, so I am now a former tobacco user. I have to go back in 2 months once everything heals up, so hopefully I'll be OK, otherwise I have to go for a biopsy.

I haven't had a dip since before the appointment. I wore a 21mg patch from Monday evening through this morning, and also had a cigar Monday night and last night. I'm done with all of that, I'm facing the beast head on.

Today I cleaned all of the empty cans and spitters from my truck, something I was actually looking forward to. I'm also going to have my truck fully detailed today as a treat. No more spills, no more dried out tobacco dust everywhere.

About me: 28 years old, been dipping for 10 years, 1-2 cans of Copenhagen a day.

Congrats on the decision Lat. You will not regret it. The only thing you could ever regret is not quitting.

You need to make damn sure you are quitting because you are truly done...not because the dentist scared you in to quitting. When you go back in two months and get that clean bill of health...that is not a green light to resume shoving shit in your face. Just remember that.

Its not just for the dentist...

I'm sick of getting settled into bed, realizing I might not have enough Cope to make it through the night, and then having to get dressed and go out to the store.

I'm sick of hunting around and getting annoyed with the gas stations that don't have the freshest Cope.

I'm sick of worrying about what Cope will end up doing to me.

I'm sick of spending $15 a day on Cope.

I'm sick of hiding from people.

I'm sick of cutting out of events early to have a dip (well, I'll still cut out early....just because I don't like being around a lot of these f'ers).

I'm sick of being controlled.
