Ive been clean for 51 days. As of lately i have been through some stressful situations. I am a freshmen in college and i am about to fail a class. I am also a shy person and this has led to a slump with the girls. My mind is playing games with me. I have slowly convinced myself that dip is not that bad. ive been having major cravings as a result this stress.
I am strong enough to control them though. The other day i almost caved and would have if my friend had not been with me. I went up to the walmart tobacco counter and asked for fake dip, they did not have any and as a result i was embarrased. It almost seems unmanly to buy a tobacco product at the tobacco counter. I am never going to buy anything from or at t. hat counter again. It was incredibly tempting and had i not looked at my friends face i would have bought a can.
The advice i have for fellow quitters is not to use the tobacco counter at walmart.
I dipped for about five months straight. I often used a can a day. I quit because i was fearing for my life. I got some weird bumps on the inside of my mouth and that caused me to think that i had oral cancer.

==================================================
Don't use tobacco. This means none, not even a pinch!
Get rid of all snuff or chew and related products.
Keep active – try walking, exercising, or doing other activities or hobbies.
Keep oral substitutes handy.
Drink lots of water and juices.
Begin using nicotine replacement if that is your choice.
Call a cessation support line, attend a tobacco cessation class, or start following a self-help plan.
Avoid situations where the urge to dip or chew is strong.
Reduce or avoid alcohol.
Think about changing your routine. Sit in a different chair at home, drive a new way to work, or choose foods and drinks that make tobacco taste bad.
