Fake Dip

[shortround]

I'm only on day 3 and my mouth is in rough shape. I only have 1 sore right now but my tongue feels raw. Hot coffee is pretty painful in the am.

I quit five days ago and I have a sore throat and mouth sores should I be worried or is it part of the process?

sounds pretty normal. Your mouth is going through changes without having a dip in it all the time. It should heal in a week or so. If it doesn't , go to a doctor or dentist and get it checked out.

Yeah i thought my mouth would instantly feel great. It didn't. In fact it felt worse for a long time. so it's "normal".

As far as sores, watch them closely. i've always been prevalent to canker sores way before I ever used so I had to evaluate everything in my mouth and determine if it was a canker sore or something else. I used to get alot of leukoplakia sores too, those are usually more whitish and bigger. Just watch them and if they persist like kdip said go to a doctor.

Part of the process, but if you are concerned about something then the best possible thing to do is talk to a doc.

I had a sore throat for over a week. Give it a little time, it will pass.

I'm on day 5 doing good but sometimes I want a dip more than my next breath

The intensity of your craves will lessen.

This is a fact.

The more you read on this site, the more information you take in from your fellow quit brothers and sisters, the more you pay attention to what sets you off, the easier this battle will be.

One Minute at a time --- One Hour at a time --- One day at a time

There is no reason good enough to cave.

Period!!!...just in case you were still operating under the assumption that somewhere out there in the infinite universe there is even the most remote of chances that there were indeed situations in which it is ok to cave...there is not. Nothing, no situation, has EVER been improved through the act of putting that Shit in your mouth. Ever. Period. :)

You are very lucky to have found this site, I'm sure you're aware of this though. Now let's buckle down and get this thing done Wally. Hey! Today I am quit with you!

Wally, you're doing great man. One thing that helps me is if I have a strong craving I give myself 10 minutes and start reading HOF speeches and such. Maybe check out some of the online reading. I have never had a craving last 10 minutes you just have to grind thru a couple. THis site will really help you pass them!
