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!!
