Title: 10+ cans a week
Post by: Firehazard on April 27, 2014, 03:32:00 AM
My name is Jeremiah. I have a girlfriend of 3 years and a 14 month old and go to school part time and work landscaping and at a gas station. I do 10+ can of grizzly wintergreen longcut a week for up to 8 hours straight and sometimes have to fall asleep with chew in
I am 22 years old. I started when I was 17 years old with 3 cans a week. I recently have started getting my severe gum disease cleaned up and I have been trying to cut down on chew. Tonight I found a deep red sore in my top left gums at work not too long ago tonight. I chew so much I have to alternate sections of my mouth and I just so happen have been using that part. I threw out my can. i am ready to give quitting a real go. If someone can help me with what to do please do so. Thanks. I also smoke cigs but only when landscaping but im not going to work on one thing at a time I want them both to stop.. And im allergic to the propylene glycol in ecig(I was interested in the nicotine free flavors to help)

Welcome Jeremiah. 10+ cans a week plus you smoke, pfffffff. rookie. First off a couple of things from your post, "i am ready to give quitting a real go." And , "I also smoke cigs but only when landscaping but im not going to work on one thing at a time I want them both to stop."

You want to quit nicotine period, plain and simple. The poison doesn't decipher whether or not you're chewing, smoking or doing whatever else with it. You're putting the shit into your body and it's time to QUIT. 1st off, get your mind right. You've come to the right place. Read, read  read some more. Read through some of these introductions, you're no different than any of us, each and everyone of us are addicts and nic has controlled our lives. Now, it's time for you to stomp the livin' shit out of the asshole that you know as nic. You need to make this place a priority. You come here everyday and you make your promise to quit, you make roll call everyday, you don't make excuses. If you need to talk PM me or anyone here, we're all here to help each other out.

Right. I am done with nicotine. I haven't chewed since 2am and feel sick already. I get mental withdrawals within 30 min to 1 hour of no chew and physical withdrawals within 1-3 hours. Starts with feeling like my stomach is empty and nauseous then the headaches start and my throat dries up and feels like something is stuck in it. Very annoying haha. I am glad someone replied! I have been checking this frequently and I was reading around on the site for awhile! That deep red sore in my mouth I found this morning just scared the shit out of me and I don't want it to get any worse. I already have to spend a few thousand dollars on fixing all the cavities and rot and gum disease. I don't need cancer too. So I am giving a big ol' 'Finger' to nicotine! I would like to find other people on here that are absolutely serious on quitting as a group to do roll call with.

You already found your group. You are a member of Pre-HOF August 2014 group. Go in there and post roll. This a promise not to use nicotine today. Reminder: This is a no nicotine site. No dip, smokes, cigars, nicorette etc.......

Make contacts on the site. Get some accountability with the members. It will be about 3-4 days for the physical withdrawals to pass. Fight through it.

Just a word of warning, when your mouth heals will your determination still be a match to your withdrawal pain? I lost most of my natural teeth over 40+ years and "quit" hundreds of times but always failed as the disgust and fear waned. Get mad, hate what that shit has stollen from you!

I am sure it will be! Is there any no-nic products anyone recommends that you can get around Northwest Ohio?

I like Smokey Mountain. Wal-mart has it in my hometown.

I have heard others talk about Hooch  Jakes but I haven't tried those.

Be sure to check in their dip aisle. That's where I find it at any store. Just be careful, the Nic bitch is always lurking and will try to temp you. You gotta be strong and resist.

Welcome.....I'm glad you're quit today! Posting roll and keeping your promise the next 24 hours is the most important thing you will do here! Repeat daily. No excuses, post roll when you wake up every day without fail. I never used the fake stuff so can't speak to that. But after 25 years, I'm clean 190 days because I bought 100 % into the KTC way. Fight for your health, life, and freedom one day at a time.

Haha there is DIP AISLES? Not here lmao. I gotta go to where the cigs are at and ask for it. I found it tho I got a No-Nic Vegetable Glycerin E-Cig today and smokey mountain wintergreen to curb the mental stuff for now.

I like the SM Wintergreen. Go through about a can a week. Will always have one at the ready just in case. I maybe should have mentions the Dip Lane as opposed to dip Aisle.

It is working out excellent for me. I am having pretty severe mental and physical withdrawals but it does trick my body when my general triggers happen. It isn't as strong as I was hoping for tho.

I hope that you realize that people are trying to warn you that we see a LOT of people come to KTC DURING a cancer scare only to leave after the sore goes away. Check out this vsauce video about risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-CK8VxMz9g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-CK8VxMz9g)

Unfortunately you nailed that one right on the head Minny. Looks like he wanted to quit for the wrong reason.

back to 10 cans a week I'd say. He won't have teeth for long and he will be back (hopefully its not too late)

He never plugged in, responded to PM, or anything. Maybe he'll come back before his deathbed.
