Hey Monster nice job hanging in there. I like the blog post. It's tough putting it all out there in writing, but the courage pays off by making you stronger. I'm scared of the dentist too- but already had one appointment and it wasn't as bad as I feared. Now I go in for a cleaning on Tuesday. It'll be nice to be rid of some staining! I about passed out from anxiety when he was first measuring my gums, but all seems fine for now. I also relate to the fear of cancer despite quitting. I've realized all I can do is be as healthy as I can now though, and enjoy life free of addiction day by day. I can also help fight the addiction in other people who are ready for help, like us here at KTC, and by doing that I'm making a difference no matter what happens to me in the long run. You have these same options, but mainly keep getting your +1s for now- they'll stack up fast. You're doing great so far, and just keep experiencing this quit to its fullest- it will be a good tool for you to help others the more you dive into your own quit now.

I'm glad to be quitting with you, you're doing great!

Read it and liked it. nice job. I also worked I. A volunteer fire dept for many years. It wasn't till I was stationed in North Dakota and got on their dept that I noticed nicotine was a problem. I was told "everyone is doing it, why not fit in". Gave me a reason to start up again. Bunch of damn assholes, myself included. Glad to be quit with you today.

Day 13.  Feeling pretty good with my quit.  Although, last night especially, became terrified at the thought of making a dentist appointment (I haven't made one or been to one since before I started chewing 6 yrs ago).  And had a lot of anxiety at the possibility of still getting some type of cancer even though I've quit.

Hoping I'm not alone in these anxieties.

Monster, you are definitely not alone with your anxiety concerning the dentist. I was freaking terrified during my first trip in years to the dentist. Sick to my stomach that I was going to hear the worst news. What really matters is the good news... you are quit in day 13. Great quit going on here.

Seeing the dentist is worth it. Tell the doc about your quit and any concerns you may have. This feels good and it's better than the "what if" fear that comes along with ignoring the issue. Keep up the good work.

Very true. I'm just worried because my gum is receded below my lower left canine (where I always had my dip). I did some reading on receding gums and how they generally don't come back. I'm worried, horrified actually. that it's going to result in losing a tooth at some point because it's receded down really far.

Let the dentist worry about that. I believe they can do a procedure where they cam pull the gum up. You just worry about today and your quit. I am heading to the dentist today. I have some decay and a tooth and yes it has been freaking me out a bit too. Staying quit with you today.

.... I'm worried, horrified actually. that it's going to result in losing a tooth at some point because it's receded down really far.

Teeth can be replaced. You are quit and that is all that matters. Keep it up.

...I don't even have gums. Uhg.

A tooth is so much better then a jaw..... Good news is that a tooth can be fixed easy enough. Don't stress the dentist. Chances are you will go and find out that your better off then you thought. Anxiety lets you build up the fear and make it bigger then it should be. Stay quit bro. Your doing well.
