Hey guys. I quit one week ago today. I dipped pretty regularly for about 7 years, I'm 25 now. Im reaching out to see if anyone who has successfully quit can tell me more about what their mouth went through during the first couple of weeks? I was expecting the hardest part would be fighting craves but it's actually been trying to calm myself down about all the weird feelings and stuff my mouth is seemingly going through. Fvck tobacco!!! I'm so mad I let it in my life for so long.
Hey Collun, congrats on being quit one week, that's awesome. My mouth felt the same way after quitting. There is a lot of great info on this site, so look around and read as much as you can. This is an article from the main KTC website under the "Your Quit", "What to expect when you quit dipping"
Sores In Your Mouth (lip, tongue, cheek, etc.) – you’re done dipping… why does your mouth hurt so damn bad? You’ve got more sores in your mouth now than when you were dipping. What’s going on?!? There are a couple of explanations for this one. First, if you’re like most of us, you’ve found something to replace your dip to get you past the oral fixation (See Smokeless Alternatives). If you’re chewing seeds then there’s a TON of salt in your mouth that wasn’t there before. Also once you get dip out of your system the PH balance in your mouth is changing. Bottom line is this – get to a dentist and get checked out. But unless something stays around for more than two weeks you should be good to go.
