Any dental follow-up?
I have a follow up on Wednesday to see if the white patch is healing itself. If not they will scrape some crap off and send it to a lab.
Today is day 99 for me so I will give an update prior to my HOF day tomorrow. I ended up getting a biopsy done on 11/1 because the white patch had not changed in a week. I have not gotten the results back yet but I am feeling pretty good about it because the white patch has begun to go away. I also went to see an ENT on 11/3 to check my neck and throat for any signs. He said everything outside of the white patch looked good. I also learned what to look for and scheduled an annual cancer screening. So between the annual ENT visit and the bi annual dental visit I should be able to stay on top of any problems. The one thing I will not do is take the fact that I poisoned myself for 27 years for granted. I quit for myself so I could see my kids grow up and so I can enjoy the second half of this life. If the cost of my freedom is regular check ups then so be it. I look forward to my HOF day tomorrow but I have barely scratched the surface of this quit.
Jeff, congrats on HOF! Damn proud to quit with you!
Thank you for all the support the other Jeff W

day 86 today and i had my first dip dream last night. Im not sure where the tin came from but in the dream i recall putting in a big fatty while sitting on the toilet. I had a beer can as a spitter and was spitting away doing my business. I then realized my fuck up as I actually have a life insurance exam today. I quickly dumped all that crap out and brushed my teeth like a mad man. I then thought about ktc and convinced myself that no one would know. I asked myself if i had posted roll that day and was certain i had so intense anxiety overwhelmed me because I had to now tell everyone that I had caved. What a fucked up dream and just proves the pure evil of the nic bitch. Glad to still be quit and I hope I dont have many more of those dreams.
ItÂ’s a reminder that you may have been getting a little complacent and helps you to rise and shine and post roll! YouÂ’re doing great, as much as IÂ’ve read it damn near happens to everyone. A friend of mine with over 2000 dayÂ’s had one the other night and he said it was a reminder where he had came from.
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

day 83 today and had a dentist appointment. They found a white patch on my gum and now I am a bit freaked out. i think the white patch is from the coffee grinds and seeds but will find out next week. The funny thing is I have been going to the dentist twice per year for a decade and as soon as i quit dipping white patches show up.

Today is day 80 and I am feeling pretty good. I have finally gotten past the ridiculous appetite for sugary treats. I packed on almost 10 lbs in the first 70 days or so but have lost 6 of those this week alone by eating cleaner and and excising daily. It feels like I am getting my mojo back a bit. For some reason I have been thinking about dip much more lately but i think its because I've been more exposed to it lately. I played golf last week and was teamed with 3 smokers and a dipper. They dipper went through an entire can in a 5 hour round and was desperate to get to the C-store afterword for a new can. I felt bad for him as the nic bitch had a strong hold on him and he was no where near ready to quit. This morning I witnessed an acquaintance driving in front of me taking the long way to work so he could get his morning dip in and again i felt bad as the nic bitch had a strong hold over him as well and was making him waste time away from the family so he could get that dip in before work. I am so happy I am no longer a slave to that fucking dead plant and I am convinced that I would not be at day 80 without KTC and my quit brothers and sisters. Anyhow...the countdown to the HOF is on for my quit group so it should be an excellent month.
Great job thus far name twin! Damn proud to quit with you sir!

The fog hit me around this point, day 65-70, pretty hard. Hopefully skips you, but quit on!
Alterego brings up a great point! I was foggy 60s and 70s too! Be mindful!

Today marks my halfway point to the first floor. Last night I read the Jenny and Tom Kern story again as i was lying in bed with my 7 year old daughter. Just the thought of not being there for her is enough for me...this quit isn't for my daughter but for me because I don't want to miss out on any of it. I celebrated day 50 by waking up at 4 am, pissing, then posting roll. I then headed off to the gym and completed the filthy fifty in 38 minutes. This is the longest I have been quit and I am going to remain quit today and wake up tomorrow and quit again tomorrow. Through all of the cravings, the fog, etc...life is so much better now that I am in control and am no longer a slave.

on a side note today....been super pissed at the world most of the day today. Everyone has gotten on my nerves and ive blown my top multiple times today...hopefully sleep will help this

today marks 6 weeks quit which feels amazing. i went tuna fishing the other day and i was telling the captain about my quit. He informed me that he was a former smoker and dipper and completely understood the addiction side. He told me it was so bad that he would smoke with a big fat dip in. As he is telling me his story I notice him running his tongue between his lip and teeth like he had a dip in. What that told me at that moment was the addiction never goes away and we have be on guard at all times. He had the fucking addict crazy eyes and everything. That nic is one nasty bitch and all ive got for her is 'Finger'
