Couldn't really find an intro page so I thought I'd just post here. I've visited KTC before maybe a couple months ago. I had never seriously looked into quitting till the past couple weeks and finally decided to make a legitimate effort last week. June 28th was my last dip and I never want to do it again.
I started dipping casually when I was a sophomore in high school but it was never a serious habit. I played baseball and still do professionally. So needless today dip is a pretty big influence in my life. I'm around it literally every day. I started dipping seriously at the beginning of college and it got its worst this past year as it was my first in professional baseball. Been dipping almost a can a day for about 10 months now
. Long bus rides, countless hours in hotels, sitting in dugouts game after game(I'm a starting pitcher so I literally only play once a week). Dipping became way to prevalent in my life be I realized that and I'm ready to quit forever.
I'm 22 and have always realized I needed to quit at some point and never planned on dipping my whole life. But it was time to actually take action on that notion. I feel like it's pretty common that after you quit you begin to think you have a bunch of problems from the dipping. I actually have great oral hygiene and always have taken care of my teeth. But of course I get a tiny bump on my tongue or something and immediately think I have cancer. It's actually bothering me a lot but I feel like it's part of the nicotine withdrawal and my head just being off balance. Paranoid anxious etc. just felt like this could be a good place to talk to others who are in the same situation. I appreciate anyone who reads and replies.
