Nervous/Scared

[UTChamps2005]

So after 20 years of dipping Copenhagen, I've decided to quit, or rather been compelled to quit.

The doctor says the usage has been elevating some blood levels, which he doesn't believe are a problem today, but could be down the road. He doesn't think cancer, but wants me to see a hematologist just to make sure it's not some blood disorder. Everything else checks out well.

Still, I'm a little freaked and can't help but wonder if it's something else. I have a beautiful wife of 12 years, and two sons, 10 and 6. A prayer or two would certainly be appreciated - both to stay off the tobacco, and that everything checks out OK.

And if you use it, I pray that you quit. Thank you.

Prayers to you for strength and health.

Glad you quit, my17 yr old son tried it and I chewed his *** out big time. My father inlaw dipped just about all his life ended up with a 5 valve bypass which lead to a mild stroke then diabetes. not sure if any was results of copenhagen.

Good Luck to you as well.

My ex-roommate did/does that stuff and is almost surely headed for cancer of the mouth because of the half assed way he cleans it after he dips. He swishes about 4 glasses of WATER and spits it back out then proceeds to do another dip in about 15 minutes. No mouthwash, no toothbrush (other than the one he does in the morning before he dips about 8-10 times during the day).

Hope everything turns out normal and this all amounts to just a scare you needed to get off it.

I too quit dipping Copenhagen, it is tough, but that C word is an easy reminder not to dip. This place helps.

Champs,

When you feel yourself getting weak, envision yourself watching your boys graduating from high school, from college, and getting married, then see yourself holding your grandkids.

You want that, right? If you keep dipping, you won't get there.
