Thankful to hear the good news John. So sad that dip can take lives at such young ages. I escaped it so far for 38 years by the grace of God! Now relax enjoy your freedom! Quit on!

Glad to hear it John. Use it to keep you motivated. No more scary doc appointments due to nicotine. You've got this!

Glad to hear this news. Very glad. I'm also glad you documented this. Don't ever forget the fear, and the relief. Be proud. You are doing something great for yourself and are a role model. Proud to quit with you.

That is great john! I am happy you got the all clear. Now is the time to really commit to this quit. Engage with your group. Make sure you post early every day. Trade numbers and send pm's. Proud to quit with you.

Got good news from the doc. Everything looks normal and nothing suspicious. Had a hardcore exam also with the camera through the nose thing to take a good look at my throat. I was scared to death at 1st and a story the doc told me about her youngest cancer patient that died at age 23 due to tobacco. Feeling a lot better now and ready to keep moving forward in my life a nic free person. Thanks to everyone that gave encouraging words. At first I thought this quit thing was all me but I know now we're in this together. Thanks everyone.

I now go to the doctor and the dentist and can proudly check "no" for the smoker/nicotine user box. We all quit for some reason, but it's the complete realization that this product will kill you is why we are here everyday.

Scariest weeks of my my life. Headed in to see the doc today. Just posted roll and feeling a little better. Nothing has ever messed with me this bad. I will never go back to the nic, the hate for this substance is real. I don't even have a desire left in my body for it.
Good for you John. Just remember, no matter what the docs tell you in the next couple weeks, you've taken your freedom back for today. Whatever the outcome, you'll have that, so hold onto it tight bud. Proud to quit with you today!

Thanks guys. Hopefully the news I get will help me get my mind right.
Mind right? Your mind is in the right place! You are making your promise and keeping it!

For 365 days you have lost to a chopped up plant in a can. You've been harming yourself, lied (you know you've lied about this... We all have), and wasted thousands of dollars. Yesterday you won. Today you are winning. At something you've lost at for 365 days.

Dude this is a big deal. You should pat yourself on the back and be proud. I'm proud as hell to type this to a winner like you. Go in tomorrow and be straight up honest with the doctor. And come back here and type how you frlt walking in there with sweaty palms and pits thinking about your visit. Because you won't ever have to relive that again! One day at a time!
Solid. F-ing solid. And when one of my best friends, the legendary worktowin, responds you're sure to gather a following. I'll say this, and I've never said it before, read my intro. My cause for quitting was the same as yours...a persistent throat issue. Difference between you and me is, 18 years of addiction to your one. With that said....it doesn't matter, we're both addicts the same. If I had a sliver of the balls you have to quit at one year compared to the 18 years of slaveship and desperation that lead to my quit....I can't even comprehend it. Do this; donkey punch that nic bitch and end it....f'in Ronda Rousey style.

Going to the doc tomorrow. Still feeling the pain and side affects of this garbage. Another day down though.
John,
Regardless of what the doc says, make sure you get back in here and stay connected and committed to yoir quit. Most of us have feared that trip to the dentist/doctor. Pm me if you need another number.
Prayers to you friend! Remember we're all here! Good job posting roll! Proud of you! Quit on!
