Well today is day zero for me. I registered for this site back in November when I was trying to quit and failed. Every time I think about quitting I keep telling myself itÂ’s a bad time. Either, IÂ’m in the process of moving, IÂ’m trying to lose weight, or things are stressful at work.
I have come to the realization that if I donÂ’t quit now, things will be more stressful if I wake up with a black tongue or a spot on my lip or cheek. So tonight I am spending by throwing away all my dip cans laying around, cleaning out my truck, and getting rid of anything that will cause me to cave.
I went to the dentist this weekend to have a wisdom tooth pulled. I didnÂ’t tell him I dipped. While he was pulling the tooth, he slapped me on the shoulder and said that I better quit dipping or I will get cancer. He knew just by looking at my mouth.
My biggest problem when I quit dipping is my temper. It gets really short. My wife calls it nicotine withdrawal induced Turrets syndrome. Tomorrow I will go over to the message board for my quit group and post 1 next to my name.
A little bit about me. I am 34 and I am a tech nerd. I work as a network tech for an ISP. I am married and have a 9 month old son. I enjoy working out, running, and pretty much anything outdoors.
