Howdy gang. I am new here...and it's long long overdue. I have been dipping for 8 1/2 - 9 years. I started in college, and dipped here and there...then about a year after school, it began to be a daily habit. I would dip at work....on the way to work, on the way home...watching tv...whenever. I am 31 years old...getting married in 2 weeks, and going to be a daddy in the fall. My habit turned into about 1/2 to 1 can per day habit. Mostly Skoal but was Cope for a while too...Anyways, I am here to quit for good. I have realized that the pleasure that I got from dipping was crap. My fiance is pregnant, and we found out 10 days ago that we are having a daughter. I am so excited, but scared to death too. I ready the "what to expect" section...but every day, it seems that I have "new cancer symptoms". All my paranoya began last week, day two of my quit...sore throat...throat cancer...Obviously, not throat cancer...cleared up in 4 days....then...found a bump where I used to put my dip....getting that checked out tomorrow...but still in a panic....NOW....ulcer on my tongue, in the back....Guys please help me out here. I am freaking out....I am going to the dentist tomorrow for my screening....to be followed up shortly by going to the doctor....but if you have been through this, or something similar, please reply or hit me on the email. Thanks guys.
