Post roll or get lost.

Forgot to add that the same dentist visit as my first post dentist gave me a clean bill of health. Have been back twice for cleaning and to receive a bite plate for my jaw. I'm all good

Thanks everyone for chiming in. Didn't have time today figure out how to post roll but will do that in the morning.

fmbm, thanks for posting that link. That's the exact scenario that has entered my mind hundreds of times. As much as I enjoyed copenhagen, I love my wife and daughter much more and we will not be going thru that.

Everyone saying I'm confident and cocky... I guess I should have just posted that I hope I quit, and that it would be great if I can actually kick the habit this time?? This is THE scenario where I think confidence is absolutely necessary. I can't decide to change something I've done almost everyday for 10 years and be on the fence about it. I understand I'm an addict but don't see how you're "encouragement" is relevant. I obviously listed what I think are my pitfalls and how I'll try to avoid them. Either way what do I know I'm the new guy. thanks for posting, no sarcasm

BTW I had to drive over 800 miles today, pulled in literally 7 gas stations throughout the day. It's so nice not having to buy this shit.

I'll tell you something mister cocky sore jaw. Your not the first to show up here because of a scare. And actually the odds say when you get a good report you'll be back holed up with that nic bitch. Being scared is one thing. Quitting is another. Make the transition form scared to quit and then you'll be successful. And the first step is admitting your an addict. Because right now your acting like your in charge. And your not. It's not jaw pain that should have you so worried, being an addict is what should have you worried. The existence of nicotine and tobacco is not what causes cancer, it's us allowing ourselves to go down that path that causes us to be an addict. Be real. Then and only then will your Quit become real.

Oral cancer because you decided to suck on poison is not an appropriate way to die. Decide is the key word. Quitting is a decision and then there will be plenty of times where you have to make that decision to stay quit. DO THIS ONE DAY AT A TIME BY POSTING ROLL EARLY AND EVERYDAY. Decide when you wake up that you are going to make a promise to yourself and all of us that you will not use nicotine in any form for 24 hours.

Oral cancer is a disfiguring and debilitating disease. Choose health, choose life. Fuck the nic bitch.

Quit on.

I'm glad you have so much confidence but a word of warning; the bitch is damn sneaky and changes tactics to adapt to our actions. You've never quit before just taken some breaks because you always went back. Many of us had that fear of cancer but still fed our addiction. I pray your screening is clear but at that point is one of your more vulnerable points. You've been doing good alone but why not join us in daily promises and win ODAAT.

IG2H is absolutely right...and maybe that's why you've failed in the past, relying on luck rather than actively quitting every day. I love the intro however because for many of us, it will be a self-reflection, themes of invincibility and can quit whenever I want to mentality. We've all been there; and many of us have started quits in fear of the inevitable.

So, what do you do about it...you do the homework that IG2H assigned you. Post Roll. Live it, learn it, breath it. Quitting is something you need to do every day. As addicts, we actively fed that addiction every day and to be better than your addiction you have to actively quit every day. Remember that, ...every day. The day you "stop" quitting is the day you cave.

Bump. Please read up and post roll. We don't need luck to be quit here, we just quit. It will suck until it doesn't, and then it's so well worth it.

What's up ladies and gents, this will be my 3rd and last time to quit copenhagen long cut. Over the past 10 years of a can a day I have quit for a period of 1 year and the other time was 8 months. My quit date was 8/26/14.

I have learned my triggers that cause me to always go back but this time is different. My first problem is that I have this thinking that it will never affect me health wise. I guess I can think that all I want now but am terrified of the day they tell me they have to remove my face.

My second trigger is that I'm so confident that I can put it down whenever I want that it doesn't matter when I pick it back up. I never have a real hard time putting it down initially. Sure, I do have some cravings but just never really that bad for me. It's always months later that cravings come back really strong.

I'm so confident this time though and I'll tell you why. On 8/27 I was having some jaw pain so went to the dentist for the first time in 2 years. I was very nervous going in and told my dentist about my bad habit. She decided to do an oral cancer check right there. It took about 5 Minutes with her examining my mouth, I about shit myself. I was so scared that when she was done I broke down right there in the dentist chair. I'll be honest I felt like a bitch, but it made me realize the amount of fear I've developed for mouth cancer. I've decided that if I don't quit then I actually deserve cancer. Wish me luck and I'll be checking in. Good luck to all here as well
