Names Andy.
I've been dipping for about 5 years now, at varying levels. Usually, around 3/4 can per day, but more often less. Recently, I had a dream that I had throat cancer. I should back up here and say that I lost my dad to smoke related lung cancer. After my dream, i awoke to find that my throat feels tight and "itchy". This has scared me shitless, but after a many failed attempts to quit this has kicked me right in the baws!
Day before yesterday, I went and stocked up on Mint Snuff (made from mint leaves). I'm proud to say that the cravings haven't been that bad really. I was initially going to "ween" myself, but I put a pinch in yesterday and held it for about ten minutes. It was like I didn't even want it! The Mint Snuff is a great "pacifier". It's almost like having something in my cheek was my addiciton. I'm really not missin the nicotine!
I'm still scared about my throat, but I honestly think it's simply allergies. Either way, that fear and nightmare was enough to make me dump the remainder in the garbage where it belongs.
I'm looking forward to this journey. I'm a competitive person so when I see that someone else has done it I know that I can do it...only better! :P Probably not better, but it gives me something to aspire to!
