Question from a new quitter: I'm on day 6 of my quit. Things are going pretty well, I'm starting to feel human again. This may sound strange, but perhaps the hardest part of this quit so far has been the sores in my mouth that are appearing. I have a canker sore in my lower gums, and about 5 smaller sores on my tongue that make eating incredibly painful. I know that sores like these are expected in quitters, but these absolutely suck. For those of you that have experienced this, how long do these hang around? Is there anything I can do to make these go away faster? Thanks guys.

6-8 months...





Just kidding. Mine went away after about a week to 10 days. there is a lot of heling that has to take place.

ditto, make sure you have better hygiene now than you ever did before.

That means brushing 2 times a day, listerine sucks when you have sores like that but I think it helps, floss too.

I'm feeling a feeling I recognize from my 280 to 350 quit period. 

Is there another, fog, hurt, funk or some dark feelings people have in the 700's? 

Not sure if I am over playing it but I feel like I am in danger.  Not for nicotine, I made my promise but emotionally.  I feel shity in the head.  I went after my son for being lazy and after, I realized I was mad because I saw me years ago.  He deserved being told to get going but I think I handled my approach poorly. 

Now I am thinking that I used him to yell at me.  Sounds weird but what bothered me is that he....is me.   Now since venting on him, I feel shity.   

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Yup, had a funky period right around two years and another one right before comma time.

Was he being Lazy? Is he slacking on things he shouldn't be? Does he need a little push?

Sometimes it was easiest to see the same faults in my kids as ones I had growing up. And yes I did get on to them so they would learn to manage those faults and overcome them easier than I did.

Being a parent is not always being their best friend.

I had quit for 3 years quite some time ago and I was an asshole. I yelled all the time and I blamed it on the fact that I quit dipping. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I now have a new place to bitch and that is here. I don't plan on being an asshole but if the need arises, I will do it here and not against my family.

I'll attest for the comma funk.

I'm not in any danger at all, but I just don't feel as "proactive". I guess that this quit has become such a huge part of my life, that I feel like I should be working on it more and it's coming naturally. That makes me feel "funky" and then I get down on myself. It's a weird feeling.

This tax season has become crazy and I do hit the fake stuff now that I'm full swing. It is what it is though. I adopted a new quitter. I have my spiderweb of accountability set up. I'm not afraid of failing because I control my actions.

I'll tell you one thing though...I can't wait to post in the Hall of Legends.

Do black people dip?

Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick?

Ever see Warren Sapp after a football game? Or Austin Jackson of the Detroit tigers?

Lmao, do white people drink Malt Liquor? Damn bro, I was waiting for the punch line. Lol

lol I would say the majority of dippers are young white males, but we have an active black former dipper named iphilister that is a bad ass quitter. Do all black people like fried chicken and watermelon........... _

For the record, I like Colt 45. True story.

Went to college with a black guy who dipped. Honestly, he's the only black guy I've ever known to dip.

Guess I'm just in the minority. I know lots of black people that dip. And by the way I knew Jaydubya liked malt liq. He also likes Champiple along with Fred and Graddy

I am a little over 48 hrs into a quit. This is rough as h

shodge,

Click Me. That will show you how this site works, why it works, and why you need it.

yep, I needed to push him and everything I expressed was because I am a dad. However, I could have done it better.

The good thing about these moments later in the quit...It takes longer between the funks.

First hundred days, had about 3 lasting a couple weeks each.

Next hundred I had two probably about 5 days each.

Not until 300 did I have a blowout...One lasting about 20 days.

Now in the 700's I had one, recognized it and think I am already coming out of it.

I have experience so much growth and change. More in the last couple years that the previous 10.

Man its be a reward to hurt and grow. I am blessed to be an addict in recovery.

Day 3 seemed very bearable so I think to myself: I've got this whooped. Woke up today on day 4 feeling like the epitome of shit. I must be a huge dumb-ass to get complacent on day 3. Oh well, ODAAT I got this thing. One positive is that I don't feel like I have to shove sunflower seeds or jolly ranchers in my face as much as the first couple days, maybe I'm starting to cope with the whole no oral-fixation thing. Anyway, I appreciate all the support on here, you guys are the backbone of my quit no doubt about it.

ODAAT, no other way to go.

Sleep.
Wake up.
Post roll.
Take first breath.
Piss.
Shave.
Shower.
Live your life (work/play/etc.)
Dinner
Sleep.
Repeat.


Insert one free step into your life to remove the poison. It's free. Did I say it's free? There is no infomercial to buy a box at $19.99, but wait, we toss in another at the same cost.

It's free. Post roll. Use the tools afforded to you. Win. Each. Day.

You are not miraculously cured after 3 days. There is still alot of fighting left to do.

There will be ups and downs. Just make it through today, and tomorrow will be what it is supposed to be.

Hang in there. It will get better. Just takes time.

Truth go start yourself a intro in that section and keep track of your journey there, it's kind of a journal to help you remember the shit you go through so you don't forget and cave.

Truth, I think about it as a long climb out of a dark cave. The beginning is the steepest and then it flattens out in time. The good times get longer and the bad times get shorter and farther apart. You have to just keep going to find out whats up there in the light. Keep Quit!

The first few days can be one hell of a roller coaster. Climb in, buckle up and just hang on!
