Wow, what an incredible community I never expected to find. Within hours of posting my first Roll, I received a dozen messages with phone #'s and offers of support/encouragement.
I'm 31 and dipped for 15 years. I have been lying to myself that I wasn't an addict. I'm sick of looking in the mirror every few days and constantly worrying about whether or not I will get cancer. Not that it's important because an addict is an addict regardless of how much he uses, but I have dipped roughly one tin per week. Flipped between grizzly pouches during golf season and Snus during winter months.
The sad thing I just realized is how this addiction has affected others in my life without them even knowing I had it. Cutting conversations short so I can go have a dip, telling my wife I want to play video games at night so she will go upstairs and I can enjoy a cat turd. I cherish my wife and four month old son. Dipping isn't hurting only me, it was hurting everyone around me who cares.
This is a huge wake up call and I'm super glad y'all are here for me. Looking forward to staying Quit. Here's to ODDAAT.
Side note, I'm on Day 5 and doing well other than sore gums and sore throat. Anyone ever get a sore throat and how long did that last? What other nicotine withdrawal symptoms did you have and how long did they last? Not that I'm a pussy and can't handle it, just curious.
Welcome bro, glad you are here.
I think we all had different symptoms we went through the first month or so, sore throat and gums is very common.
I would get splitting headaches at work, night sweats, curled up in the fetal position on the bathroom floor thinking I was gonna die... you know the usual
Get those numbers, post roll early and every damn day.

You can do this, proud to quit with you
