I have to agree with BlahBlah, it is great to see the stories from the long timers here. Is there a place where these stories can be found?

I cant wait for my 916th day of being Nic Free. Thanks for the inspiration to make 31 days tomorrow.

Thanks for drawing attention to your intro, P35. I probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Glad you are healthy and things are going well. I'm sure most of us have felt scared of cancer at some point or another and to read your story feels good. Thanks again.

I'm 46 and have dipped Copencrapin since I was 18.  For most of that time, it was a can a day.  The last year, it has gradually gone up to 2 cans a day.  That's because I could buy the two packs cheaper than 2 individual cans.  I knew if I wasn't careful, I'd end up going thru both cans in a single day...and that's where I ended up.

Well my wife finally cornered me  made me go to the dentist last week on 3/13/08.  The ONLY good thing about it was that the dentist was right across the street, which meant I didnt' have to spit my snuff out until right before, then I could brush my teeth  run over there.

When I finally got back there, he looked at my mouth  said he's sending me to the periodontist for a biopsy of the "precancerous blablabla..."  I really heard nothing else he said.  My whole body was numb and I was sick to my core.  A sickness I can't even describe...the worst you can imagine.  I completely flipped out.  No sleep, no eating, nothing.  Sweaty panick, thoughts running completely crazy.

Luckily, I went to church last Sunday  that helped reel my runaway emotions back in.

Of course, I haven't touched any tobacco since before that dentist visit.  I'm headed to the periodontist in a couple of hours.  Today 03/20/08 is day 8 of my quit. Man I don't want to go do this doctor appointment!
March 13, 2008 at 9:26 am, I spit Copenhagen out of my mouth for the last time.

That was ONE HUNDRED DAYS AGO.

Thanks to the help of my brothers and sisters here, I never have to put that crap in my mouth again.

Thank each one of you who came up big when I needed you and told me I could do it when I wasn't at all sure. You are my friends for life.

Thanks for showing me there's life after dip. I no longer drag the ball  chain with me everywhere I go. Freedom is a very good thing.

Thanks.
atta baby!!!

Good news, man. Same thing happened to me causing my '94 quit attempt. Had a lipseal that freaked me out and had to have a biopsy done. I quit for 4 months that time. The point is, DO NOT LET YOUR RELIEF LULL YOU INTO COMPLACENCY, THE BITCH WILL TRY TO RETURN.

They just called and the biopsy came back negative, so no cancer.

Nothing changes. Day 16 is underway. I'm thankful for the good results  I don't want to screw up this chance I've been given.

Thanks for your support  lets kick the nic.

As always, I think I'll just stay quit.
Great news man... great !
