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.

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.

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.
I would rather lose to a cheater than win as a cheater.

Quote from: Reck
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
Hang in there Reck, we are with you. Your decision to quit is probably the most important one you have made thus far in your life. You need to go to the welcome center and read, then post roll as soon as possible. Go to the chat room and ask questions. The site will feel weird for a while but it is 100% ok. I and otheres her quit with you today. Remember we quit one day at a time only. You are approaching a time in the quit that you may be overcome with a fog or severe craves for a day or so. you need to get prepared and drink water and get an exercise program going. PM if you need . We are here to helpyou and each other.... Em.
