General Discussion - 2016

Yeah, said everything looked good. The pain in my gum and cheek is the one bothering me. One day is good, next day it burns. And I wonder am i whipping this or not lol. And thank you for your story, makes me feel better

are u using seeds? maybe that's it. As said above, stop putting anything in there. Pretty soon the hand to mouth obsession will cease. Thats exactly how my neck pain was. I thought for sure I had something... turns out its nothing.

Let me tell you brother, every day you don't put poison into you body you are whipping it.

I'm no Dr., but if your dentist gave you the all clear, it sounds like the crafty nicotine wench trying to lure you back. In other words, mind games. Keep the faith.

You gonna post roll and join this awesome bunch of quitters?

Hello Lowell. Neck, Jaw pain persisted for me well past 100 days. Even now i still get a throb every now and again.

These are all signs of our bodies 'paying us back' for year of daily poison we packed into our lips. Payback is a bitch....

Eventually you will probably lose the need for fake if you do use. I certainly did, but everyone is different

HAve you been to dentist to get checkup?

[lowell knapp]

Ok. Thank you. It just kinda worries a person when it won't arm to go away

[chewie]

Even the burning in between my cheek and gum you think?

Yep. As long as you stop putting something there.

If you're a fake dip user, this may persist as you're still putting "something" there to cause irritation, though it's a MUCH better "something".

Lowell, jaw pain is an extremely common withdrawal symptom. It can take some time to ease up but it WILL go away.

Hey guys, been cold turkey for six weeks, I was about three cans a week for six years. One day my lip and gum started hurting and burning so i decided i was done, I'd just had a kid and made the choice.

The pain didn't go away so I went to the dentist and he went over my entire mouth with a fine tooth comb said everything looks pretty good, no fissures, no lumps, no spots. Said I need to heal, probably dried out and damaged my gums.

Now, a couple months later the pain comes and goes, along with a jawbone ache on that same side. No spots still, nothing out of the ordinary, just coming and going pain. Does this sound normal? Has anyone had this also? It's getting old, and worrying me to death. Thank you

Thanks and I did go the doctor also and they looked over all my blood work and tests that they did and everything came back good. And they couldn't figure out anything that could be causing it either besides maybe a virus or allergies. When it first happened it was the worst lasted about a week on and off then I was good for 2 weeks and now it's back again just not as bad. I hope it's just the symptoms of withdrawal.

I have had the same, everything gets better. Your body is healing and you are growing new cells to replace the ones you have killed with chew.
Not a big fan of this statement; "Almost want to start again if it doesn't improve thanks."

This is your second chance, get active, post roll each day and don't ever have to go back to the ER for cancer scares...

Just wondering I quit dipping a few weeks ago and my face feels numb/tingling feeling. When I first quit it got real bad to the point were I went to the ER and they said everything was fine but it's been acouple weeks now and it on and off. When it happens my head feels stuffy and my arms and face start to tingle anyone else have the same problem. Almost want to start again if it doesn't improve thanks

Hey,

I am not a specialist by any means and no pro on advice, but there are a lot of physical symptoms you will go through. Numbness, sore throats is your bodies way of healing itself after you quit. You may also be experiencing anxiety. When the body gets anxious your fight or flight response kicks in, that can cause muscle to tighten. (Preparing your body to fight) This can make your throat hurt also and mimic these sensations you are feeling. Anxiety can also mimic a pain or numbness in the teeth and lower jaw bone. Acid reflux from your esophagus healing itself and sphincters healing can happen. Acid reflux or GERD can cause sore throat, numbness, sensation of not being able to swallow and chest pain/burning. Now this being said, if these persist, you should definitely see a general provider or primary doctor. Get on acid reflux medications, anti depression/anxiety and make sure you due have a clean bill of health.

Lots of physical symptoms you will experience in quitting.

Quick question...I have been tapering down to my quit date of Oct 15th for a little over a week now. After spending some time on this site tonight, I threw out 2 brand new cans and decided that I'm done...as of NOW. I have been quit for 40 minutes and I will not go back to that shit! Anyway, how do I change my quit date on my profile from Oct 15th to today?

Thanks for the effort you put into this site. You, especially have motivated me to bite the bullet!

Woody-
Looks like you fixed your quit date. What a smart move my friend. I too thought I could taper down, and plan my quit. I did the same thing as you!
Threw it out, and 106 days later here I am. A brand new man, and getting better each and every day!!

Keep absorbing as much as you can on the site. I saw you posted roll, that is the price of admission. Come back tomorrow and repeat.

You stick with it, I promise you will not regret making this your final quit.

Quit with you today
