Hey guys,
I'm a 20 year old college student and I've been dipping for 2 years. For the last year I've dipped pretty heavily and at one point going thru a Grizzly Big Can (6 tins) in about 4-5 days. Yesterday I noticed several canker sores on the inside of my cheeks and lips after a week of heavy use. I almost entirely doubt they are anything more than irritations, however the discovery of these canker sores freaked me out at first and led me to researching oral cancer and all the nasty health problems that dip can cause. I've decided I need to quit now while the length of time I've been dipping is relatively short to avoid any future health conditions. Plus girls tend to view dipping in a not so favorable light.
Anyway, I just finished a tough week of exams and am now on spring break. I've decided that the first day of classes after spring break, Monday 3/14/16, will be the day that I start my journey and post roll. I know it's going to be extremely difficult for me as I have a somewhat addictive personality. I've been telling myself I need to quit for months now and yesterday was the day it finally hit me that I need to get serious. Hence the reason I'm here. I'm hoping that a community of other quitters will help me muster the determination I need to quit. I want to go into this with contingency plans for what to do when I get a craving. I'm a person who bases his life around structure so I think having a gameplan on my quitting process will help me be successful. \
Any comments, advice, or just introductions would be great! Looking forward to all of your support as well as hopefully lending my support to you.
