Working so far from home does not help the situation out. 70 mile drive each way is a tough battle. So far going ok, made it in to work lol. I have noticed a few times now I reach for my back pocket whenever I get to my desk.... Talk about a habbit.
Just remember to stay strong, text a fellow quitter if you need to, pop in some gum or whatever else you can find!


Now get in and post roll in June 2013... be sure to read through the Welcome Center thoroughly before posting roll. Come join June and take this journey to quit with us!

Oh, almost forgot. It's highly likely that dipping wasn't helping your laryngitis!

PM me and I can give you my number.
Thanks Rob. Well I'm still worried its the dip that's caused my throat issues. Still a wait and see game I guess. Need to find a good dr around to get scoped out

Welcome to ktc and congratulations on making the decision to throw that evil can to the curb. The first few days are the worst but after around 72 hours all the nicotine will be out of your system and then all the mind games that the nic bitch will play start up. It does get better though. Every day that you are quit will be better than the last. Keep some sunflower seeds, gum, hard candy, tooth picks or fake chew with you for when the cravings hit the hardest, do anything you have to, just keep the dip away. Post roll early every single day and get to know your quit brothers and sisters, get some digits and use them anytime that you need to. I quit with you today.
Be careful. Medical clean bill or even a diagnosis that has nothing to do with dip gives the Nic bitch a finger hold for one more. You need to fight like hell, our addiction is as powerful as any other drug addiction.

New and Day 1
« on: March 19, 2013, 08:51:00 PM »
Hello everyone. I'm 31, been dipping for 16 years now. Today I quit... Handed my cans over to the wife and she tossed them in the trash. Over the last few months I noticed my voice cracking and having a hard time talking, especially at the end of the day. Well now it's worse, hard to talk almost all day long. I went to the doctor today who was not much help, said it may be acid reflux causing laryngitis... She wants me to take some Pepcid for a few weeks and if no improvement go to an ENT. Talk about everything hitting at once.
