Currently on my 13th day of quit, and yes it sucks worse than I thought it would. I'm a senior chemistry major at UT-Austin and have been dipping Skoal/Cope for 5 years mixed with stuffing my piehole with Camel Snus around my family. My quit was unplanned and spontaneous to say the least. I have been developing a lump in my throat for the past 3 months and I blew it off as stress. I finally went to the my general practitioner on March 3rd, the first day of my quit, who then referred me to an ENT.
I was endoscoped yesterday March 15th (where they shove a damn camera up your nose and then down your throat). As I sat in the waiting room, I could only imagine what I would find out in the coming hour, read: scared shitless. The procedure was done, and he said the good news was that no tumors were there. My knees got shakey, no tumors, thank the Good Lord. The bad news was that I have bad acid reflux scarrage from gutting the filthy stuff. I'm on a mix of prilosec, prednisone, and antibac meds, the prednisone (steroid) makes me feel like constant crap and want a dip even more.
I haven't posted roll yet because I was quitting for the lump in my throat and not for myself. I will consider this Day 1 and progress from here.
