General Discussion - 2014

hi people my name is omar I started dipping when I was 17 and at 21 have now taken the steps into quitting I am using lollipops (as funny as that sounds) and smokey mountain to help get through this, I do get edgy at times and jittery I was hoping if someone could help me out in ways to ease that or how long that would last.

Awesome decision Omar! I wish I was that smart when I was 21.

First thing - this is going to suck for a while. And then it gets better.

It's different for everyone. I recommend you check the Welcome Center at the top of this page - there is a ton of information there about what to expect.

How many days Quit are you?

Hey Omar. Glad you are here. The first few days can be tough. Slow down and take some deep breaths. Drink a lot of water. Try to exercise. POST ROLL to show your commitment and take one day at a time.
You...we can beat this.

This is a repost from a few years back.... updated ... by request.

I know some of you know my story but some may not. Perhaps someone is stopping in this site and just thinking about quitting. I hope you make that choice and kill your can for good.

A little over 9 years ago I lay on a hospital bed at M.D. Anderson Cancer center in Houston. In the exact spot I had held my dip for so long they found a squamous cell carcinoma spot. I was told it was directly related to my dipping. That was near the end of September.

Now it was time to take care of it. My operation lasted some eleven hours. A large section of gum matter, three teeth and thirty seven lymphnodes were removed. My jawbone was shaved to half of it's thickness and a plate with screws added for reinforcement. A section of flesh was removed from my leg  and now and forever resides in my mouth.

My recovery will never be complete as I have pain everyday from the surgery. When I wake in the mornings my neck has drawn tight and I have to stretch it. Some days it refuses to loosen. If I hold my head a certain way for any length of time, it tightens. Being a welder I usually hold my head a certain way everyday.  I will forever have this piece of leg in my mouth and no one who has had this "pleasure" will know what wonderful breath and taste you can have with leg in your mouth, especially when you wake in the morning.

I hope this is not to commercially for you, but in case you haven't read my story or seen my pictures, go to my My Webpage and see what dipping did for me. If you are visiting here for the first time and merely considering quitting, please PLEASE do so. And don't forget to use every resource this site provides. I have been MIA in helping you guys and for that I apologize. I hope you all know I am willing to share with, talk with, any of you and would be deeply honored to help with your quit.

Take care, God bless and have a wonderful dip free remainder of your life.

Thank you for sharing your story again ODT.

I'm guessing I'm speaking for everyone when I say I'm thrilled that you beat it and that you're here with us sharing your experiences and helping others kill their can.

Thanks friend.

Thanks ODT and Chewie. This is ultra powerful quit medicine!

Wow.
Bump.

ODT, you and I have never talked but you have definitely influenced my quit. Thank you for putting yourself out there and helping not only me but many others on this journey. Proud to quit with you.

New guy here. My name is Michael. I quit 3 days ago after 22 years of dipping. I started at age 16 and have been dipping 1.5 cans a day for as long as I can remember. The time has finally come to quit. For me and my family. It's tough now I feel strange like I'm on the edge. I hope this passes soon. I'm using smokey mountain. It's not great but better than nothing. Just wanted to introduce myself. Glad I stumbled across this site. I actually found it months ago. I've been reading some posts. I have to say it helps reading that others are going through the same things as I am. Thanks.

Hey mud.
36+ years chewer here. The "fog" get better with time. Hang in there!
Post roll to show you commit to quit every damn day!
PM me if you need anything.

[chewie]

Are floors quarter years?

No... when we refer to another "floor" we're referring to another HOF cycle (100 days).

So... if you're on day 800 you just hit the 8th "floor".

This fucking website is so hard to figure out. I posted a explanation of my first day fuckup on roll call and now its gone. It is nearly impossible to figure out where to go for imformation or how to explain myself. Sorry... Day 2 getting easily irretateted.

No worries man... it's difficult especially when you're in the fog of a new quit. Hang in there and keep working. Before you know it you'll be flying around the site.

As for your specific question... make sure you hit GO TO FIRST UNREAD POST after you reply. Otherwise you're looking at the END of the thread... rather than the beginning.

Delta, welcome to KTC, you need to get into a quit group and start posting roll, it's the price of admission around here.

Anything that helps you quit and does have nicotine is fine.

Read up, in the welcome center, and post an actual introduction in that area as well. Stick around we can help you quit and we can help you through all of this. But you have to start by posting roll.
