Unintended Benefit – Quit Hiding From Myself

Kill The Can member Samrs (April 2017) dropped this little piece of brilliance on our Discord server. Quitting dip has many benefits. Some you realize right away, and others take years to uncover.

An Unintended Benefit of Quitting Nicotine – Quit Hiding

Had a tooth pulled two weeks ago. There was a cyst under the root. Doc said it was probably nothing, but we decided to have it screened anyways… benign, so nothing to worry about, thankfully.

I was really surprised at my reaction when she showed it to me post-extraction. She asked if I wanted it tested, and I immediately said, “Yes. Do it. I want to be sure.” Ten years ago, I would have been sweating and dreading the answer. Now? Fuck it. No more hiding. If it was malignant, I wanted to know.

That’s something I never expected to get from quitting. The decision to quit hiding from myself. It’s resulted in more changes than just this one, and I’m grateful for them.

Quitting nicotine is SO worth it… What are you waiting for?
