Keith.. Hey man.. This is Gooch.. SO glad you are here Bro.. I am 44 I have been hooked on dip/nic for a very long time. I have had 5 gum graft (maybe more?) surgeries all due to dipping. Sometimes I would dip in my top lip hours after the surgery because I had stitches in my lower gum. That is insanity.. I too have had countless sores and lesions in my mouth over the years. One time my dentists was going to take a bio and send it away to test it to see if it was cancer.. (none turned out to be cancer yet) still I kept on dipping.. day in day out.. sometimes i would quit for a week or two.. a day or two.. sometimes an hour or two.. but I always started back. I have not dipped for 7 days now thanks to this site and my new friends here. I feel better and more confident about my quit than ever before. Stick around.. Post roll.. and say this to your self.. I AM QUIT! More than likely you dont have cancer its just a sore.. more than likely you will if you dont quit!
Wow your messed up ! Lol, hey man I have never had to go through that but I am heading there if I don't quit. I am on day 2 staying strong screw the nic bitch. I keep hearing more than likely it ain't cancer but there still is a chance I am praying everyday that I don't . I don't care how bad the cravings are I am done . I can do this one day at a time with God and brothers like you. Stay strong!
Great dialog and good for me to read. The days quit add up. Keep a journal of your quit. We don't quit past today but I don't think it hurts to look back and celebrate, remember, and take in the victories of being quit.
You both have overcome more in a few days than others who only wish to quit. Battling the addiction and winning that battle will sure up your quit, your word, your integrity, your freedom.
You may have said no and abstained from the evil weed but your victory and reward is great!
You are proof that if you have the desire to quit, you will have the capability and capacity to win the war.
The big mind trick...just one will devastate you. You will hate that you caved, you will be back in bondage and you will come to a point where you want to quit again.
Your are quit and strong in it!
Thanks again for sharing, it strengthens us all in our matches. So pleased with my undefeated record. 96 to 0.
I got scoreboard on the nic bitch!
