Greetings,
I'm glad to have found this site, thank you for allowing me to become a member. I never thought I'd be doing this but it appears that I need to do something. Anyways, my last dip was on Tuesday the 8th and it shall be my last.

I think I'm finally being honest with myself. I have a problem. I have to stop dipping, I've made a few days progress without dip. I don't want to put chew in my mouth anymore.

I've recently had a "wake up call." I answered, it said: "You've got cavities and you know that lower left side of your face has lost some feeling, you've got some strange tingling sensations in the ear, the cheek muscles on that side have weakened." I kept listening, "You may want to get this checked out because you've not had this happen to your face before." And before I hung up, "You will not ever get another call." I put the phone back to my ear....Thank God I did.

At this time, the left side has feeling, there's a small area on the lower left that has some slight tingling, but the loss of sensation is not as severe as it was a few days ago. Yesterday, the dentist scheduled me for repairs in a couple of weeks and today the ENT doctor said that he didn't see anything wrong. I was honest with both of them. The dentist said he didn't see anything that indicated cancer. I have an appointment with an oral surgeon in 13 days, the referral slip said I need a biopsy.

I pray that it's not to late. Hell yes I'm scared. Hell yes I'm going in to see him.

I'm tired, I need to eat, I'll be in touch..

Thanks for this.

Peace

You made the right decision and found the right place. Post roll daily and be involved. You will get amazing help and support if you jump in with both feet. You can do this if you follow the program here bro. I still get scared at times but I never could quit before joining here. Quitting is the only way to stop the poison from running you. Nice work so far!

I'm quit with you Reck.

You can do it, we all have your back and you have ours.

While seemingly insignificant, posting roll may be the single most important thing here. After a while doing it, the reason will become clear.

Quitting is hard reck, but we all do it. Your doing it too. It gets better with every passing day. Just remember when you get the (all clear) from the doc that you need to remain vigilant. Post roll with us daily, as the guys before me have iterated its important.

Reck, welcome. You aren't the first person to come here prompted by a medical issue and won't be the last. Two things I wanted to share with you as you embark upon this journey. First, many a time have we seen someone come here with a medical issue, stop dipping, the issue clears up and then that person caves. This scenario plays itself out even if you don't come here. But therein lies the problem, and its consistent with something you said in your intro. That being, you said you need to "stop dipping." And there is my second point. Stoppers stop then start again. Quitters don't go back. Get in the mindset that you are a quitter, and a badass one at that. One day at a time, you quit.

The only thing you can control in your situation is to quit and stay quit today. You will have all the support you want and need here but you have to commit...you have some legends of quit weighing trying to help you. your move

Welcome Reck! Hope your medical issues turn out to be good. That said, it's time to get serious about your quit. Being a Quitter is hard...but you can do it. Read the Welcome Center and follow what already been stated. Let us know how things turn out.
