Hi it's my first day of being a quitter, I'm not doing to bad, but seem to keep rolling my tongue down into the pocket where that bitch used to sleep...lol it also feels like she's grabbing me by the neck and pulling... is that something that goes away? I used to do some pretty hard stuff when I was younger and when I quit with that stuff I got the same tension feeling every so offten and the urge to go back. I'm pretty sure that I just supplemented that with dip and cigs. So I guess my question is without anything does it seem to get easier?

It absolutely gets easier. Tons easier. But you just worry about keeping that shit out of your mouth today. And don't say "lol" if you are a guy.

Amen. 'lol' will surely get you labeled as 'ghey'.

And it gets so much easier bro, I can't even tell you. At one point in your life, the LAST thing you will EVER think about is dip. I swear.

But you gotta stay strong for now. You gotta BE strong for the foreseeable future. Right now. This minute. This five minutes, THIS hour! Stay close to this place, because there is NO other method that has our success rate.

No shit boys, we ARE the PREMIER Quit method! NO ONE has a better percentage than us, trust me.

I burn four fingers, upset the wife and learned not to use "lol" on my first day, and you know I'm still smiling and quit. Yep one hell of a first day... Truly thanks for the support and the info..

Come back tomorrow, make your promise, and we'll do it all again. Hopefully with another laugh or two along the way. Good work on day 1.

I couldn't afford to go through 72 hours of physical withdraws with my current workload. I want to wait a week or so until I can afford to be out of sorts at work for a while and not get fired. I have never thought about quitting before last night when I made that post.

How can you afford not to?

A week or so? Yup you keep waiting for tomorrow, I will quit for today. I don't think you will get much sympathy from anyone here about your job being too important to quit right now. When you realize that tobacco and nicotine don't do anything for you or your job you will be better off. I told myself I would quit when I got married, first kid, second kid, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Tomorrow never comes, today is your day. Instead of making excuses of why you cant quit, just do it.

Ya I'm pretty busy with work ATM but in a week or so I'm going to get real serious and read up on stuff and figure out a plan to quit for good. My first post really was just me freaking out because I couldn't figure out why my jaw was hurting and was hoping someone with more then 3 years of a can a day habit could let me know if it was common and non related to cancer or any major problem.

Again, yea, it's not uncommon for ANYone to have the symptoms you describe (not associated with cancer). When a "normal" person has anything odd going on in there mouth, they just say WTF?, shrug their shoulders and forget about it. Since we know we are tempting the cancer Gods, we freak out over any tiny insignificant abnormality. Go see the Dentist to be sure.
BTW, I'm not a believer in planning a quit weeks out, but I wish you luck anyway. That's not me being negative, that's just me remembering all the times I planned to quit tomorrow. You said in your post you are too busy ATM to quit? I know for a fact you spend a shit load of time supporting your addiction. Drop me a PM if there's anything I can help answer.

It is common for tobacco to give you cancer and kill you. My buddy with stomach cancer inspired my quit. I'm now free and he is dead. There's a quitter on here who got oral cancer right after quitting. While you are making excuses to prolong your slavery that next dip could be the one that mutates cells and gives you cancer, if you don't already have it. I no longer live with that fear. Good luck with your Russian Roullette. The odds aren't too bad, unless you're the one who gets cancer.

So i found this site after freaking out thinking i have cancer cause my jaws hurting. After reading some posts in this thread I feel a little better about my usage. Ive been dipping a can a day for the past 4 years, is my jaw hurting off and on a common thing? Also I have 3 white bumps under my bottom row middle teeth. I always assumed they were callouses because they dont hurt. Anyway this scare made me decide to quit.

Keep reading, Final. There's a lot more on here you need to read. First off, yea, the stuff you talk about has freaked us all out many times. Most of the time it was nothing, but you're not gonna get much medical advice here. If you are anything like I was, your story will go like this:

1. Freak out and decide "this is it! This is cancer!"
2. Cut back or pause dipping for a SHORT time
3. Decide shortly after cutting back that I do not have cancer.
4. Celebrate my clean bill of health by binging on copenhagen.
5. Repeat all the above every 2-6 months.

Quitting for you health is great. fine. whatever motivates you. For me, I relieved the above scenario so many times that I knew that health scares would not get me quit. Realizing that nicotine had me stepping and fetching like some bitch slave got me to quit.

In the meantime, get your mouth checked out. Read everything you can on KTC. Know what it means to Post Roll with us. And then decide to quit for today. Can you quit for one day? Your damn right you can. Check your (1) Inbox.
