Scared as hell

Thats great news!!

Hell ya!! He said I could lose a few pounds though. I told him since I quit I snack constantly. He said that is normal but I need to cut back. So I guess the next step it my quit is to start exercising more and stop snacking. Anyways it is good news nonetheless !!

Day 14 Finally got enough balls to make it to the doctor. I got a clean bill of health!!! I am so damn relived but here is some scary shit. My doc tells me cancer can appear up to 10 years after a person quits tobacco. Good info to know. He recommends screenings twice a year done at the time of dental cleaning. Stay strong!!!

Day 11- can't even remover having a craving today, I mean I know I must have had one but I just can't think of it as I reflect back on my day. My sore is getting smaller but I called kaiser and talked to an advice nurse. She recommended I use Peroxl mouthwash after every meal and see if that helps. I also did some research on the Internet and I have a condition call Tunis malabonditis or some shit like that. It is basically a non malignant growth on the bottom jaw that is prone to ulceration that takes a long time to heal due to the thin tissue that covers the growth does not contain enough blood vessels to quickly heal. Well stay strong out there!!!

KJ, go to a doctor and get a real diagnosis. A buddy at work found a sore bump 2 years ago. Waited a long time to see a Doc. It was cancer. Got it removed and went through chemo and radiation. Declared cancer free a year later. Fast forward to last Friday - normal checkup found the cancer reappeared on his lungs and spine. He will now die.

Do more than just pray it ain't cancer.

Wow that sucks I am sorry to hear that. I will make an appointment I am scared but it is better to be sure.

You had one and you owned it. No crave will get the best of us. It may keep us down for a few moments but we will power through.

You da man KJ!

Day 10 ... Wow I hit the double didgets today. I really did not have any cravings today that I can remember right now. Each day seems to get just a little bit easier. I only used Hooch twice today so even my use of the fake stuff is being cut back. I did try the mint hooch which is very damn similar to skoal mint for any of you ex mint dippers out there. Stay strong!!

I can admit it here, but I have taken communion with a dip. If my addiction would take human form I would cut its throat.

You are certainly not the only guy who used to sneak a dip during church. I always had a tin in the inside pocket of my sports jacket . . . if I didn't already have a dip in my mouth, I could slip off for a minute and pop one in.

The crazy thing about being quit - looking back on all those behaviors that seemed so "normal" when you were a user and finally seeing those behaviors for what they truly were . . . the insanity of addiction.

We have all done crazy shit to get our fix. I have dipped anywhere you can imagine. Some of them still haunt me.

Now put that same focus and energy into your quit!!

STAY QUIT

Day 9 went very well. I only had a few minor cravings. I woke up today and actually got to eat breakfast with my family. My old routine would be to dip ninja style in the shower while they were eating. I absolutely had to because we do not get back from church until 1:00 on Sundays do if I did not get my fix I would be on grumpy sob. It is nice to have the freedom and spend more time with them. I wish that I never had this problem I feel like I missed so much already I don't want to miss anymore. Stay strong and stick it to the Nic Bitch!!

Sounds just like my past Sundays. Shove as much in as possible so I could make it till I got Home. Isn't the freedom great!!

Sure is!!!

You will be amazed at all the things that can actually be done without a dip in your lip. 

Freedom is an amazing thing.  Enjoy it !!
