Hey Guys, I am now about 3 weeks clean from dip. I quit on the 11th of August. I still get urges, but just use herbal stuff and I feel a lot better about my overall health. But I have been having some symptoms lately and I was wondering what to do about them:
Sore Throat -- has been coming on and off over the past weeks.
Tounge -- My tounge feels wierd. Like under it feels dry and just overall uncomfortable.

Are these normal, or should I be worried. I went to the dentist last week and she gave me a cancer check and said I looked fine, but I still cannot help but worry. Sometimes it hurts to swallow and it feels like my neck has a limited range of motion. Under my chin feels wierd at times as well.

I was just wondering if you guys could give me your thoughts about this and if you have experianced this, can you give me some tips to make them go away?

Thanks Guys!

I just picked up some herbal hooch and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to make it pack better. It falls apart a little bit and it doesn't burn as much as I would like. Does putting Alcohol in the dip make it burn better and pack better?

Week Free from dip and the cravings have died down a lot.

Did any of you guys get discomfort under your chin, felt like you had a chicken gobler? Its been a day and a half and the gobbler thing has been going on for a month or so. Any of you guys get this type of symptom?
Yep... had it.

It's gone now... you may experience all kinds of aches, pains, etc. for quite a while. Hang in there... they go away.

Thanks for your replies guys, means a lot to me. I think I am going to try the fake dip, just so i can kill the oral sensation that i am craving. I jsut wish the doctor and dentist appointments came a little sooner for that peace of mind.

Yesterday, I made the decision to quit dip. I took my last pinch of kayak grape and realized how stupid I am and how this is something i need to end now. I dipped for around 6 months. I was a ball player and there was a lot of downtime during the season and I would go through around a can a day or every two days. After this weekend I had a sore throat that has continued til today. I had a crazy weekend with my buddies, so maybe that is it. I was just hoping you guys could help me and let me know if you guys think it may be a pre sign to cancer since my throat has felt wierd for awhile now. It hasn't been sore but it has felt different for about a month now. I am seeing the doctor for a shot on friday and I will ask him there to see if he can check for signs. Also, I am going to the dentist for a cleaning on the 18th and I am going to ask them to check for stuff.

I was hoping I could get some feedback on what you guys think this sore throat could be? I was also wondering if any of you tried the fake dip and if that helped you.

Thanks for reading.
check it out for peace of mind...remember the fear and stay quit

Let's see...

In all likelihood you have a sore throat - nothing more, nothing less. That said, going to the doc and dentist is never a bad thing. Get checked out and take this opportunity to QUIT. Embrace it, use that fear and be done... now. Today.

As for the fake stuff, I used it extensively during my quit. It's not a perfect substitute for your chew but it was the only thing that kept me quit sometimes.

Well worth it in my opinion.

It very well could have something to do with the guy weekend.....but that's a bit off topic.

Seriously, its most likely the fact that your mouth is going through a ton of changes including healing itself. It's most likely nothing to worry about. When I first quit I was quite sure I was going to die. Give yourself a couple weeks or so to cool out. Certainly the doctor and dentist are a good call.

Congrats on your decision and welcome to the site!
