just found this site, and just wanted to say that ive been dip free for 3 months. its been tough but its been more mental than anything. to everyone keep pluging away you can do it
-
guess i should tell you that i was dipping for about 13 years. started in college playing baseball. started with skoal, then coppy, then grizzly, and finished with griz pouches for the last 3 years. one day i woke up and basically scared myself to death. been to the dentist, maxil facial guy, and ent and have gotten the ok been very lucky not even a cavity. but still freak out about every little thing in my mouth now , my anxiety is ridiculous. so finding this place has been a great. we all have our reasons for quitting and mine is the fact im having a baby girl and want to be here for her. so again as i said in my first post keep plugging away and if you need my help just let me know, because im sure i will need yours.

Welcome to the site.
Do you plan on posting roll every day or are you just window shopping for quit?
Not sure what your intentions are here....
I am glad to hear your dip free though.

already did roll yesterday and today thought i could use this site to help through the tough times and me help people that are having their problems. quitting doesnt end at 100 days

You have done what you can do. Keep going to the dentist annualy and getting checked. You will need to find a way to handle your anxiety. For me exercise has been huge.
I used to wake up every morning and get a flashlight and inspect my mouth and just like you when I found something in there I would freak. I went to the dentist and doctor more in my first 200 days of being quit than I had the previous 20 years. Every time I went they would tell me the same thing.. You are fine.
My anxiety was nuts for about 250 days or so. It has gotten much better now. Keep fighting and stay clean. It does get better.
STAY QUIT

Having sores in your mouth after you quit is normal because the pH of your mouth is beginning to change back to normal. As long as you've been checked out by the docs you should be ok. Just keep yearly checkups on it.
