Miles,

Thanks for that. The story really puts things into perspective.

djr2,

Where you playing ball at man? I'm a huge baseball fan, been playing since I could walk. My dad is a local high school coach and thought me everything I know. I usually make it to at least 2 games a week here at LSU. Geaux Tigers

Been packing my lip for "the last time" for about a month now, but I honestly feel that that "last time" was today. I've been using dip as a crutch for way too long and I'm over it. Thew out my last can just an hour ago.

Started dipping my senior year of high school playing baseball when my friend offered me a pinch. Been dipping on and off for 3 years now.

Like many before me, the cancer scare was enough for me. About 2 weeks ago I got some kind of bacterial infection in my throat, So I went to my ENT. Got prescribed some antibiotics but they didn't seem to help. These last 2 weeks have been a living hell, as I spent countless hours late at night researching throat cancer. Went back to my ENT, scared out of my mind, and demanded he do a biopsy on my swollen lymph node. He seemed to think there was nothing to worry about, but I won't feel any better until I get the results tomorrow.

Not looking forward to these next few months. I'm under a lot of stress from applying to medical school and studying for the mcat. Not having that little relief from dip is going to be tough, but my health far out weighs getting a fix to calm myself.

I'm Done!!
Welcome Blue.. I was in much the same boat as you were/are.. Firstly, you've made a great decision in coming to KTC and quitting, however, it takes everything you have to stay true..
Second, do not ever let this feeling you have right now leave the front of your mind.. I know its 'easier' to quit right now because of your scare, but once you've been given the clear DO NOT take that as a free pass to buy a can..
Never, ever let this lonely, empty, terrified feeling leave your mind..
If you have any questions, dont hesitate to drop myself or others a PM..

You are doing the right thing and you have come to the right place. Listen to elders of this site and follow what they say. It works! Glad to see that you made the choice to break free at an early age. I only wish I had the smarts to quit way back then. Just post roll everyday and stick to your word, and you will beat this addiction.

You should read this......Tom's story

Stuffing your face with dip is one of the single most selfish acts you can do. You'll figure that shit out one of these days....or not.

Choices brother...it's all about choices..
I quit with with you all!
