General Discussion - 2017

[JB65]

Joined the site back in January 2012, never frequented or posted roll call. Forgot about the site. Quit here and there over the last 5.5 years. Even quit for 14 months at one point. I see the same comments/excuses I have used for why I kept going back. The links to this site just started showing up in my FB feed for some reason in the last 2 weeks. I've chewed regularly (read as bought my own) for the last 9 years, but chewed when it was offered since 8th grade or so back in 1984. Sitting at works dropping the full can plus a dips worth in the garbage right now, the rest of the roll once I get home. $14 and change down the drain: think cold turkey is the only way, and how I did it for 14 months. Can't say I will be here daily to post roll call, but I'm done with the can. No sores or concerns, clear mouth cancer screens at the dentist for the last 3 years, it is just time. Really only have 1 or 2 friends that chew when I am around them (and that is pretty infrequently) so no big push to get back on it. Good luck to all!

Can't say I will be here daily to post roll call

Why not? You joined this site 5.5 years ago and have been trying to quit ever since. That's 5.5 years of wasted money, time, health and freedom. It sounds like your approach is no different than what it has been since 2012, why would you expect the outcome to be different?

If you really, absolutely want to quit, have to quit, will do anything to quit, why wouldn't you commit to posting roll? It takes significantly less time than dipping, it's significantly more effective than trying to quit on your own (as your track record confirms) and it's free. If you really want to make this happen, why aren't you doing everything in your power to accomplish that? If you're not that serious and not sure that you want to stay quit, then just save yourself the headache and keep dipping, because you can't succeed at this half assed.

I'm not trying to badger you, but do want to understand where you're coming from.

B-I-N-G-O

Go all in or go home bro

So 'nothing has worked in the past' 'always found my way back' sounds like 100% of the people in here. Its time to do something different 69. What you've done in the past doesn't seem to effective.

Posting my daily quit promise has kept me quit for 716 days from 25+ years of dip madness.

Your quit is right here waiting for you, will you grab it?

I sure hope so

JB65, thanx for your supportive message. My intro may not have been exactly what I wanted to say. The main point was that the FB postings are what brought me back here, especially the one about "you did not get to our web page by mistake" or whatever it was exactly. My statement on not calling roll everyday was obviously not well informed. I posted without really checking out the site and beginner info. Your words were supportive, understanding and I am grabbing my quit, over 24 hours in now, with no issues yet but I know it will come soon. Thanx again

The issues will come and go, but if you abide the spirit of this place (Accountability + Brotherhood = Success), you will be able to handle it. This place doesn't teach you how to get rid of your addiction because (at least so far) that's impossible. What it does is give you the tools to handle any situation that your addiction can put you in. That's why this place is different and why it works. There's an ancient Lao Tzu saying: Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. This place teaches you how to fish when it comes to your addiction to nicotine.

The tools are there for the taking, but you have to buy in all the way. ALL the way. EVERY day. It's worked for me 754 days in a row. It'll work for you too if you let it.

Glad to see you post roll brother! This really will keep you quit if you value your word

U got this Franx! We are with you brother 30,000 strong!!!

Question for the vets or anybody really. I'm on day 60. Since quitting, I've developed a sensation of a lump in my throat. That was first. Then I got a feeling that my tongue was going numb from time to time. I still experience both of those, and lately I've been dealing with a dry mouth, and thick/tacky saliva. I've been to two Docs, both think all the symptoms are from acid reflux and not drinking enough water. I'm now taking prescription Pepcid, and have been for about 20 days, and I still feel the same. I feel like I'm drinking a shit ton of water too. I'm just getting concerned, and the anxiety of quitting combined with anxiety that something is wrong with me is not helping. I'm just curious at day 60, did anybody else have similar experiences? I didn't have any of these symptoms until the week I quit.

Quitting almost always comes with some weird and concerning side effects. Those symptoms that you describe are pretty common, although usually have passed by day 60.

Everyone is different, so who knows why your body might still be reacting that far out. It could be unrelated, maybe it's not. Generally, I'd say trust the doctors and it will pass.

Have you been to ENT specialist? They might have better perspective than family practice.

I guess just keep hydrating, take what the docs give you and monitor. If you're really not improving, get another opinion.

Yeah, I've been to an ENT and my family Doc. Dentist also. All see nothing wrong. The ENT said if he had to diagnose anything, it would be acid reflux which is causing laryngitis. Oh, well, I guess I can't expect to heal overnight (or in 60 days) after dipping a can per day for 18-20 years.

I had reflux for years before I quit.

It got FAR worse after I quit. Bad enough to where I went to the ENT and had my throat scoped.

They had me on pretty much the strongest stuff available (can't remember the name of it) and I had nights when I literally felt like I couldn't swallow. Also had nights (2 to be exact) where my reflux was so bad that it mimicked a heart attack... right down to the tingling left arm that we hear so much about. 2 times I took myself to the ER for a full scan and 2 times I was told I have acid reflux and anxiety from quitting.

Fast forward to my 100 day (ish) mark, my reflux and anxiety were better but not great. It helped that I knew what it was but I still thought "cancer" every time I had the chance.

To make a long story short... I haven't even had so much as a Tums in years. All reflux gone, all medicine gone, all throat issues and anxiety gone.

Quitting is a wonderful thing. Keep up the good fight brother.

I had acid reflux so bad then quit chew and in a few months it ALL went away

Pure poison we've been putting in our bodies. No wonder it takes so long to heal

Agree with pky. The side effects can be weird and concerning, especially when you didn't notice them before. Chances are the symptoms were there, but because your mouth was all jacked from the dip, you may not have realized it. I had a lot of acid reflux when I was dipping and it has since gone for the most part, but that took a couple hundred days (although I wasn't taking any medication outside of the occasional Tums). Get to the ENT if you're really concerned, but I'd stick with the doc's orders for a bit and see if that doesn't help get things turned around.

[GrizzlySlave]

rkymtnman dropping some words of wisdom. Take these words to heart quitters... This is gold.

Epic.

yeah my hardest days were 101 - 150. Geez. It was like day 1 all over again. So glad i found this place and the quitters herein. Newbies and Vets alike.

Man, I didn't need to hear that on my day 5.

Take it in stride. Worry about Day 150 on day 150.

That's fair and I new it when I posted that.
I was here in a nic crave-wave and that part pissed me off.
I have no doubts you all can relate...

Have you been to ENT specialist? They might have better perspective than family practice.

I guess just keep hydrating, take what the docs give you and monitor. If you're really not improving, get another opinion.

Question for the vets or anybody really. I'm on day 60. Since quitting, I've developed a sensation of a lump in my throat. That was first. Then I got a feeling that my tongue was going numb from time to time. I still experience both of those, and lately I've been dealing with a dry mouth, and thick/tacky saliva. I've been to two Docs, both think all the symptoms are from acid reflux and not drinking enough water. I'm now taking prescription Pepcid, and have been for about 20 days, and I still feel the same. I feel like I'm drinking a shit ton of water too. I'm just getting concerned, and the anxiety of quitting combined with anxiety that something is wrong with me is not helping. I'm just curious at day 60, did anybody else have similar experiences? I didn't have any of these symptoms until the week I quit.
