Quote from: LifeAfterDipDay 26 and for whatever reason I'm aggravated...with everything! Its frustrating because I can't shake it. Screw off nic. Really hoping this passes quickly.
This is probably a brain rewire thing going on for you. I've had it happen plenty. Maybe some of that might be that I was part asshole all along though, who knows?

Remember that getting really angry can be a back door way for your brain to get some of the stuff its missing as it downsizes the number of certain receptors. To teach yourself an alternative, get some exercise pretty soon if you can and breathe deeply. Even if you can just take a walk it'll help, getting some healthy endorphins going.

IF you need to release the steam, remember you can do it in here.
Go for a walk. Breath some fresh air.
youre going to look silly. I do. But my advice is to run around your building (if youre at work). One lap. takes two minutes. Endorphins. This helps.

Day 26 and for whatever reason I'm aggravated...with everything! Its frustrating because I can't shake it. Screw off nic. Really hoping this passes quickly.

Do you remember nicotine? Do you truly remember her? The way she controlled you financially, emotionally and physically? The lies she whispered in your ear daily? Remember how one dip was too many and one thousand was never enough? Yeah, so do I. That's why I'm here. That's why I post roll. That's why I support my brothers and sisters. Because I remember her too damn well.

Quote from: LifeAfterDipDid I? I'm sorry. Woke up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night and posted roll on my phone, must've copied and pasted by accident.
Aww Man! I was looking for some deeper meaning of the relationship of the Black Swan choreographer and star dancer (had to google his name) to quitting nicotine and being a resolute bastard!

Oh well, back to quitting with you!

Quote from: LifeAfterDipAnd finally I'd like to make note that today I hardly thought about dip. I know that's rare but it was nice to get a break before day 23. Quit on quitters.
Only rare at first thank God. You keep fighting EDD and sooner or later you will have lots more days that you don't think about dip other than when you post roll and are on KTC. I quit with you all day.

Quote from: LifeAfterDipMy "sore" turned out to be nothing and was gone rather quickly. I have a question to pose to you vets..did any of you find yourself grinding your teeth unconsciously? I never did it in the past but in the last week I've been catching myself in the act. So bizarre.

And finally I'd like to make note that today I hardly thought about dip. I know that's rare but it was nice to get a break before day 23. Quit on quitters.
LAD, you are rocking this quit. Keep it up and before you know it life will be good. The days will start passing quickly and the thought of dip will fade with moments of insanity. I quit with you today. One day at a time, is so important.

Great news and glad to hear it! Not grinding my teeth...my jaw is exhausted after two packs of gum everyday and it sleeps all night:-) Sounds like today was a good day. See you at Day 24 brother!

Quote from: LifeAfterDipWhat kind of sores in my mouth should I be worried about? I just noticed a white colored lump on my gums. Not very large and not painful just looks like a zit haha
Most of us are not Dr's here (sure there's a few), but I would wait a couple few days, if not gone then get to the Dr. and let him/her tell you it is nothing.

Any sores that are painful, bleeding, oozing or that do not go away after a week definitely worth getting checked out. Otherwise cracked gums, tooth aches and lumps and sores should heal and receed after 3-5 days.
