Wow thought this was a sight for guidance not a bunch of people bashing other people. Asked for insight about the sores not your personal beliefs towards my addiction. Everyone copes in different ways and you guys of all people should know that!
be offended...don't be offended. when I first got on here they pissed me off too. but realize everyone here wants to help you I believe this any way. I been quit 18 days now and if not for these guys who are bashing you I very well might not be here. it is a brotherhood and I am part of that. and it feels fucking good to be quit today with my july brothers. jump in......the koolaids fine my brother.
You need to read the welcome center and post roll. You have made two posts already and neither one was a promise not to use nicotine today in any form. That is the cornerstone of the program here ...get with it or get out. Its tough love, you are not a special butterfly. I will help you but I will not coddle your ass. Sores in your mouth are normal and you have been to the dentist so stop worrying about it. Anxiety is also a symptom of quitting.
Get in here and quit soldier. Your mouth is fucked up from dipping. Going back to dipping won't help it. See your doctor, but in the meantime get your fucking quit on!
Here's the deal Holby. We simply quit here. Tons of people have had medical issues, gum disease, lost teeth and worse. You are not special in that regard, and it seems you have done everything you can by seeing your dentist more frequently than I see my wife. He is either incompetent or you are not yet dying. Either way, none of us can do anything to help you there except share war stories.
But we don't tolerate addict speak such as if it is cancer I'm gonna start chewing again. Or if I get a clean bill of health I'm gonna start chewing again. Or as soon as my insurance policy goes down, I'm gonna start chewing again.
We know how hard it is to quit, we know every single addict excuse in the book because we have all been there. Don't hedge your bets, don't leave the door cracked open for a cave/return to the can. Follow the recipe layed out here and you will be sucessful. Most of these quitters will help you, but we won't give you a juice cup and trophy just for trying. Jump all the way in, decide to be quit and pledge that quit every day. Then sack up, keep your word and help others keep theirs. Repeat tomorrow.
This recipe works, there are thousands of us as examples. You can do it too, but you have to want it.
