This is the second time I’m trying to write on here. Last night I spent about an hour typing out a long story about me and when I tried to post it, this website said an error occurred and it didn’t post anything. I guess it timed out. If it doesn’t work this time, that’ll do it for me. Anyway I’m 39 years old. Been chewing for 23 years. 3 cans a day. I’ve quit three times in those 23 years. Once when I was younger for about a year or so. Second time was about 2 years ago for 18 days. And this time has been 5 days so far. I’m on chantix this time, it’s been 10 days of chantix. I tapered down chew about two weeks ago. I got down to one or two pinches a day. When I got to that point I noticed the inside of my bottom lip felt different. It was smooth, like my top lip. It was a strange feeling. But a good feeling. But then I also noticed a sore or two. One started on my left cheek and one on my tongue. At first I thought I bit my cheek in my sleep. But as days went on they’ve been getting worse. Now it’s excruciating. I never had any pain or sores in the 23 years that I chewed. Now that I stop, I have all this pain and problems. I am religious about brushing and flossing. I’ve only had one cavity my entire adult life. I go to the dentist twice a year. I read that this is normal? Is that true? Has anyone had sores appear as soon as they STOP chewing? I don’t get it. It’s pretty bad. I’m having a hard time eating/chewing food. If it’s not better soon I’m going to the doctor or dentist. Or both. Anyway, I’m on day 5 and I’m not looking back. I threw out all my cans. I’m also having a hard time figuring out this website. Am I supposed to check in everyday? Where? Is that what roll call is? Where is that? How do you just talk to someone on here? Help
