Man this is hard. Been dipping for 30 years or so. It has been a big part of my life but I need to take control and quit this time. Tired of worring if the next sore mouth is cancer and having to always look for a place to spit. My head is killing me for the last two days but hopefully it will get better. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

Go-
It will get better. You are still in the physical stage of addiction, it goes away. Hang in, stay strong. You can do this!
Do you know how this site works? I found spending time reading everything on this site was great for my quit. Give me a shout if you need anything.
You are doing this!

Congratulations on your decision. It's one you will never regret. But don't be fooled - quitting is not for pussies. It takes balls, determination and a relentless disdain for the nic bitch who's been nagging at you all this time. But if you use the tools you have at your disposal, you can be successful.
Here's everything you need to know about this site:
We quit one day at a time by making a promise each morning that we will not use tobacco IN ANY FORM (dip, cigarettes, cigars, snus or patches/gum) for the day. We stay quit for the day, go to bed and wake up and do the same thing. You make your promise by "posting roll."
The Welcome Center (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showforum=13) tells you all the basics of how things work around here. WhoDey also has taken the time to develop very informative, step-by-step Instructions for Posting Roll (http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?showtopic=50) to help guide you through posting your promise for the first few days.
Some asides:
1) We don't "try" to quit, or tell others "good luck" in their quits. Again, it's about determination and balls.
2) We don't take kindly to folks who just drop in every couple of days and post. Posting every day is the whole point of why we are here. It's about accountability.
3) Reach out to your brothers via private message and exchange phone numbers. First, this allows you a contact to post roll for you if you can't get to a computer. But more importantly, it allows you a brother to reach out to whenever you get a bad craving or need someone to talk to.
4) Lastly, it is wise to develop a quit plan so you'll know exactly how to handle situations that may arise during your quit.

So I am lost. What is, "bac off"?
As far as the searching on the site? Don't know what to say to that. When I want to search tobacco info, I use google.
On this site, it is more fun to explore. Don't search for anything. Topics will find you.
As for support...sorry if you feel that is lacking. My experience has been a surplus. I simply can't relate.
This experience hasn't been a rosy walk through the park. All the struggle just confirms my disgust in being addicted. You can text me anytime. The support I will give you is to appreciate the pain. Don't focus on how bad it is but that you are finally being a big boy! Controlling your desire for a buzz or nic rush and being a man of your word.
It's your fight, I can't stand in your shoes. I am 29 days quit. If a candy ass like me can quit so can anyone.
Email me you contact number.

I know it says our mouth will get sore when when stop but how sore has yours got?
Did you have any white patches in mouth? Feels like it has been burned?? Sorry if this has been asked before.

I personally never experienced these symptoms but a lot of quitters have. I see this posted once a month in the intros so I would say it's normal.
Stay quit man! One day at a time!

If your really in pain and worried, call your dentist and have their office refer you to a Periodontist. They specialize in the teeth and soft tissue that supports the teeth and jaw otherwise known as your gums.
That is the only place your going to find an actual answer.
As far as everything else goes, the only way you can make the sores worse is by continuing your use in those areas.
Stay quit.

Heavy, I just had a white spot on my gum. For a week I stressed and stressed over it. Constantly in the mirror with a flashlight, checking on it. But today, its gone. I've had sore throat, jaw, gums, and tongue. 20+ years of sucking poison takes a while to heal. Bottom line...you will notice changes. White spots/sores/lumps that don't go away after 2 weeks, have them checked. In the mean time, try not to stress over it. It will only make you crazy. Trust me. Stay quit my brother.
-
I second everything Ballplayer said. I freaked out over white spots, too...garbled a bottle of Listerine as if that were cancer treatment or something. I thought it must be helping if it really stung or something? Anyway, it went away before my dentist appointment...so felt a little stupid and VERY relieved.
It's probably nothing. But if it there for more than two weeks, don't ignore it.
-
I have a warning and it has nothing to do with cancer. If the sores have anything to do with your quit, when your mouth looks and feels better the bitch will be back stronger than ever. "see you didn't need to quit it was just a herpes out break" or whatever just not connected to chew. Voice of experience, cant count the time I quit for one or two day because I was sure I was already dead, only to catch back up when I healed "alittle". Stay quit and live. I hate big tabacoo.

Absolute truth Wt57!! Been there, done that. Told I was healthy. Thanked God. Went to the store to buy a can. Almost like I wouldn't be satisfied until I was told my jaw would have to be removed!! The addiction to this stuff is nuts!! And the bastards in big tobacco should be hung by their sack!!! Seriously how do they still allow it? Everyone is throwing a fit about the "pink slime" in ground beef, but Cherry and Apple flavored poison is being sold to 12 year olds around the country!! I call bullshit!!!!

That's the spirit. Fucking terrible fucks all those UST motherfuckers. Curb everyone of them if I could.

I don't even go into the gas station stores anymore because I get pissed when I see poison's being sold behind the attendant. I about had a hissy fit when they advertised "lowest prices on smokes" on my receipt the other day. Hate it. I find it ironic because 24 days ago, I *WAS* actively searching out that shit to put in my lip. I just stay away.......

Hey bud...I posted a while back on my sore mouth. Mine was due to Atomic Fireballs and eating tooo many of those daily. Cinnamon Induced Stimitouous or some shit...Just throwing that out there if you are chewing Big Red Gum or anything with Cinnamon oil.
