I've known I need to quit for awhile now. It's been over a decade. Had my first dip when I was 16. I'm now 28.Â
I refuse to reach a point where I've dipped for more than half my life. I'm almost there.
I've completely destroyed my teeth. I need thousands of dollars in dental work done. However, I'm too ashamed to go to the dentist and tell them I'm a dipper. I keep promising my self I'll go get it all taken care of when I quit. The result: I haven't been to the dentist in 3 years.Â
My mouth tastes like shit every morning when I wake up. Often times I have to use hydrogen peroxide as mouthwash just to make it go away.Â
I've progressed to the point where I chew at work nearly all day everyday. I work in an office building and meet with clients regularly. If my superiors knew I was chewing tobacco during all of this, I'd probably be fired. I hide it well I suppose; tucked deep into the side of my cheek. Nobody ever says anything. It's only a matter of time until I slip though. Leave a spitter out. Get caught putting a dip in. It'll catch up to me
I don't think I can taste anything anymore. I look forward to being able to taste things again.
I don't enjoy dipping anymore. After every one, I ask myself why I still do it. All it does is my make my mouth dry, and leaves my gums hurting. I still do it anyway.
My girlfriend constantly asks me when I'm gonna quit. My mom too. Truth be told, I wish they'd annoy me about it more. They are scared of my reaction to that though.
So yeah I guess it's time to quit. Today I had a sudden sense of motivation.
So I dumped what was left of my tin in the toilet, and now I'm sitting here with a half eaten bag of seeds and 3 tins of mint snuff (the fake stuff). It's been about 4 hours.Â
Here we go...
NFC,
we've all been there.. My epiphany was 32 days ago. and it seems like an eternity.
this is a quit site, come hell or high water don't pick a can. Instead ride the SUCK, and hang on because your life depends on it.
RIding through those cravings makes you realize you don't want a repeat performance.
I quit and i don't think i have another quit in me. I am going to stay that way one day at a time going forward.
I can do anything a minute at a time. and nicotine is that way. I wants us bad.
seeds, fake shit, fireballs, lemon drops, praying your ass off what ever it takes.
PM me i will shoot you my number.
for that matter anyone here will do the same.
These guys have saved my ass.
