'bang head' I have been chewing for about 25 years, Copenhagen then the Grizzly. I have been on about 3 cans a day for the past 10 years. My 13 year old daughter has been ill and was hospitalized this week. 26 hours ago (which would allow me to post day 1 I think but I don't know where) I said "Honey, if you can fight, I can fight" and emptied it all into the trash. I found this site and thought you could help. The mental portion is there but god I don't know which one of us feels crappier right now I was throwing up this morning. I realize I may be in the upper tier of withdrawal symptoms here but any help you can give me would be great. Feel free to e-mail me, I am new to this site.

Just Start reading and I will pray for you and your daughter. Get help here and wherever you can

I'm curious if anyone has been screened for cancer.

A few years ago (OK, like 15 years ago) a dentist suggested that I get a cancer screening and I ignored him.

Now that I'm quit, and over 40 maybe I should. OK, definitely I should.

Just curious if anyone else has, and how it may have gone.

I went to my dentist today. He examined my cheek, gums, and tongue.

He said that overall, everything looked good. I have what he considered minor leukoplakia lesions.

He took pictures of them, and suggested I come back in a couple of weeks, and have him look again just to compare before and after - that is are they shrinking or growing. He said he suspects they will shrink, but he wants to make sure.

Hi everyone at KillTheCan.org
wow, what an amazing resource in the fight against the "nic bitch". Brought here by a friend and out of the blue jumped on the band wagon. I would say for the past 13 years out of 15 addicted to the most cunning drug out there, I wanted to quit. Most ever gone was 1 week. I am Day 2 now with a vast amount of resolve and it is largely in part to this strong platform to stand on or watch and learn. Now, since I am so new, I will say that in all hopes that I am not a failure. I do matter, and my life does mean something. Got smokey mountain in right now, and fighting every urge. No to nicotine. No. No matter what it throws at me.

Keep it up. As I said I am a month in and just coming here after my little rant and reading some of the posts...this site is amazing. The best motivation for me is my little boy. I want to be around for him and I never want him to have to deal with this addiction. Make sure you get onto a roll call in the quit groups. I just got on one today. Wasn't sure if I did it right. But it makes you accountable one day at a time. That's all this is anyway. Don't look at the rest of your life as a trial of not dipping. Just look at each day as a promise you won't dip.
I am still learning how to conversate myself. Funny you said to post roll, I was reading where someone said the only people that cave are the ones that don't steel their temptation by posting roll.

Posting roll is very important to your success. Read the welcome posts to better understand the tools this site offers.

You both would post in the May 2016 quit group (under the quit groups)

Just passed one month dip free on Friday. Cravings have suddenly gotten worse. I am so tempted to just go grab a tin and just start over again later....does this get any easier????

[30yraddict]

Thanks just ordered some bacc off. I caved today and bought a can today but only had 2 pinchs.

pokey, at some point you are going to have to decide to quit... at some point you are going to have to decide to do whatever it takes to stay quit, and pay the price. If smokey mountain doesn't do it for you, go find something that does that does not contain nicotine. sunflower seeds, gum, beef jerky, candy, etc... if it's getting to you, go do something else, go for a walk/run lift weights... whatever it takes. I know this isn't easy at first, that's why you need to jump in with both feet and fight your way through the first few days.

Post your day 1 and know that you never have to repeat it unless you choose.

Just 24 hours... you can do that, can't you?

[Pokey8]

Has anyone tried nico-free ultra for dippers. It's on the bacc off website.

There are a ton of great alternatives out there:

If SMC isn't your thing I'd point you to Hooch, Holt and Bacc-Off as good Wintergreen alternatives.
