re: Need help to stop dipping. Any advice?

Please give an update on the Shark Tank stuff when you use it. I also watched the episode and was very intrigued.

Is their any cons to this stuff? Would seem as you wanted an oral fixation throughout this wouldn't harm your body if you did it for a lifetime?

Referring to the Smokey Mountain substitute:

I used this stuff during an unsuccessful quit attempt and researched it a little. (unsuccessful because after 2 months of success I had a weak moment and went back to it). The main ingredients are corn silk, molasses, and cayenne pepper. There are a couple of other things but not very relevant. The only true danger I can imagine is just the trauma that the friction causes to your gums.

One way cancer starts is when your cells have to replicate in order to heal. The process can have mistakes, and sometimes that mistake leads to a nasty mutation leading to cancer (In a very dumbed down way, it's similar to how a sunburn can increase your risk of skin cancer). If you use it so much that the repeated healing of your gums leads to cancer, then you are pretty unlucky. It's possible, but VERY unlikely.

Bubble Gum. Occupy your mouth.

Well, waiting on the coffee dip through the mail, bought 2 cans of smokey mountain it really doesn't taste as bad as everyone made it out to be. Hopefully tomorrow will be my first day without tobacco or nicotine. I didn't know they made this shite until recently. Should be interesting.

I stopped smoking after 14 years on July 9th, 2015. I know it hasn't been long, but I'm very proud of how long it has been. It's not easy, and you have to want to. Good luck on the biopsy. Orbit Gum is my new best friend.

Didn't read anything but your post. My dentist, a fraternity brother, told me in the 70's, I think, that he would tell me when it was time to stop. In about 2009, he told me it was now time to stop.
I did..
Just stop, it's hard, I know,,, but considering the options, you can.

Congrats man! I have a friend who is a couple weeks ahead of you and it's great to see...keep it up!

Sometimes,, occasionally, maybe years later, you'll still have an urge where you'd be willing to fight a telephone pole for a dip. I dipped for 37 or so years and still sometimes crave. Fight and whip the urge, you can.

Only problem now is,, I don't rush thru my meal to go get my napkin lined cup, but, instead sit there and eat AT LEAST one dessert.

I had a bad hankerin for one Tuesday at work. Grabbed a pinch of the coffee dip and all was good. And the desserts have been disappearing a little faster than usual

Big Country, how old are you? And how long do you dip?

And congrats. Keep it going.
