24 hours dip free

[nomoregrizz]

Closet......I got both sore gums and a sore throat. It lasted about 7 days on and off.....it was worst at night though.

People have mentioned on the board that they actually started to get a lot of sores etc.. after a few days into the quit. I haven't noticed anything different in my mouth- no sores, pains or spots, but I have had a sore throat. Just out of curiosity, did any of the vets not get sores after the quit and approximately how long did the sore throat last?

[closet_dipper]

I am laughing thinking about how "good" a husband I was whenever I volunteered to do things on my own. I feel guilty and need to apologize to a lot of people for being selfish including my wife. I am on day-5. I woke up thinking about how crazy I was to put that crap in my mouth first thing in the morning. I am still healing, getting bad headaches, but in general I am feeling better each and every minute. I am working out like crazy- I have always been in good shape, but now when the cravings are coming on, I just think about the next run and the rush that is going to give me. still quit. won't dip today.

I am new to this website but no stranger to dip.  I started dipping when I was 15 years old and now at the ripe old age of 37 I have decided that it is time to stop.  I am about to become a father, and I do not want to let this addiction control me any longer.  I have been able to keep my habbit a secret from just about everyone- including family.  My long showers were an excuse to dip a little longer, or saying that I had to get some work done at the office on the weekend was a good way to get some dip time in on the weekend.  I am disgusted with myself that I let something control me and make me say things that were not true. I am tired of hiding dip, afraid of getting caught in the house or at work.  I want to know what it is like to finish a meal and not crave a dip.  I want to know what it is like to wake up first thing in the morning and not think about putting a dip in my mouth.  i want to be normal...

I want to know what it is like to wake up first thing in the morning and not think about putting a dip in my mouth. i want to be normal...

Man....you said that better than anyone else i've read. Exactly what I was trying to articulate ( I want to be normal ). dipped for 15 years. quit now for 89 days.
i believe i now know what its like to feel normal. i'm 15lbs heavier, but fuck that. it will come off.
you can do it. one min, one hour, one day, then 2 days, then3, then a week...
you can and you must. its not optional. its no longer about you. you will be a father. i am too. unlike you, i chose the selfish path for 8 years with children. be a the better man. imagine yourself in your child's eyes...what would you think of your dad that and chose a live lived in a nicotene haze over a life lived with a clear mind...there is a difference and I am so glad i finally found it.
embrace the SUCK, you know its coming and you fucking well earned it by chewing so long the the rest of us.

Hard to feel normal when you are not sure what normal is. You have been living with a poisoned mind/body for years. The clearing of the poison opens endless posibilities. Normal from here on out is what you make it.

One of the best things for me about quitting dipping as been the ability to re-invent who I am. To spend time with family, friends. Not holed up somewhere playing Playstation and sucking poison into my face.

Enjoy your freedom. Fight for it every day. You will start to feel the new "normal" soon enough.

Feeling good today. Passed a big test- had a long drive and resisted the urge to cave. Thanks for the support.

Closet,

Damn, you've sure got a way with words brother. You speak for a lot of people when you say that you want to feel normal. I too wanted to know what it was like to be in the driver's seat of my own life. 155 days ago I made the decision to Quit using nicotine and I am proud to report that I do what I want when I want. I no longer have to leave that beautiful wife of mine to go hang out with a can-o-cancer.

You've got the right mindset to make this stick. One day at a time you will inch toward your goal of feeling normal. Take it from me, we were sick for a very long time, the treatment is not fun, but it is worth more than all of the silver, gold or diamonds on this planet. Welcome to the rest of your life. Stay diligent and Read, Read, Read...

Thanks bro,

it is definitely difficult. I get through "long" stretches of time and realize that I am forgetting to put cancer in my mouth. It is definitely an odd feeling not to do that anymore. We had a dinner party tonight, and normally I would have volunteered to do the dishes solo- just for the dip time, but tonight, I didn't have a need too. Felt good. I still wanted a dip, but stayed quit...looking forward to day 4

I love hearing the closet dipping stories, like volunteering to do the dishes. Sounds just like me. Anything to sneak in a dip. Cleaning the garage (like twice a week), carrying the luggage in, watering the grass, gassing up the car, mowing the lawn, shoveling the snow, going to the store etc etc.

In a stupid way, being a dipper made me a very helpful husband.

Embrace the suck!!! Enjoy it...have fun with it. Remember, it is you body healing itself. Use the suck as motivation to NEVER cave.

Woke up this morning thinking about how it has been 48 hours since I had a dip. I am not going to have one today. My choice. Lots of gum and seeds helped yesterday.

You now have a new goal and that is to keep your promise today, no matter what. Stay close and shout out for help.

Thanks Brian.
Every time I get a craving, I do 25 push ups. I think I am up to 350 for the day. The people in the office have been supportive and I am hanging in there. No dip today.

Now Flash does stunts for Arnold!
