Well guys 27 days today. Gonna see the dentist in a couple weeks. Just read an article that said the incubation period for mouth cancer is 10 years. Gonna be keeping up on my dentist visits from now on. Things are looking up for me and I'm trying to find things that put my mind at ease. Sitting around thinking and reading about oral cancers is getting old. Stay quit guys.
We cannot change the past.
We cannot control the future.
We can own today.

Proud to quit with you today, even if you have been throat raped. Ha.

Feels like I've been raped in the throat. Another day free. I wouldn't hope this on my worst enemy. Stay quit guys.


Hey buddy, I'm on day 27 now and my throat feels the same way. Becoming a little less at times but it still bothers me. I lay it at the foot of the cross and carry on. I trust that it will get better. No matter what, stay quit cause one thing is for sure...dip WILL NOT help your throat feel better! God bless you my brother. I quit with you today!!!!!
Just remember John, a sore throat doesn't feel nearly as badly as esophageal cancer, or a jaw removal, or having your tongue removed. I know it isn't easy, but the sore throat will go away without radiation, chemo, or surgery.

Keep it out of you lip today, and keep the focus forward, you've got this today.

If it helps any, I have had tingling in my tongue since week 2 and I am at day 54 now. Went to the dentist and she said what everyone else on here had told me. You have been fucking up your mouth for 25 years with that crap and now that it isnt there, things are changing and healing. I am now finally getting better day by day and the symptoms are slowly fading. So, I am sure your's will too. It will just take some time for your body to get used to not having backer juice slathered all over it and for it to heal and be normal again.
Word. Things will get back to normal with time. Best thing you can do is keep making that daily promise and do whatever it takes to stay clean today.
What is normal? 38 years later I couldn't tell you, but 227 day's of freedom is frigging awesome!
Tobacco is so addictive it took me a year after a massive heart attack, in which doctor confirmed caused from dipping to finally put a lid on the bitch! ODAAT EDD

John you got this. By getting all checked out now, it's a scary visit at first to the doc  dentist, but you'll be able to go on knowing you'll never have to worry again. If the anxiety gets really bad modern meds are wonderful  your doc will be able to give you something.

Couldn't have said it better W2W. But one correction. Rather than the camcorder I just had to swallow a bunch if white liquid. End result was he same. Nothing wrong but anxiety. From yes, like steak, beating the crap out of this addiction.

23 days clean. This sore throat has yet to go away. Not sure what to do. Any of you quiters have one for this long. It's driving me crazy
It will go away. Do 50 push-ups then another 50. Then 50 more. Drink 64 oz of water then run 2 miles. Repeat the whole cycle 3 times. Take a shower and collapse in bed.

The goal is to divert your attention. What you are experiencing is completely normal. 2 of my best friends from this site, Mike from AB and Steakbomb experienced the same thing. Like you, they both got to prove their incredible deeprhroating skillz by taking a camcorder deep deep deep. (Ok that wasn't very nice, but it was such an obvious shot that I had to take it.). Seriously, both of them experienced the anxiety and intense certainty that something was wrong. And something was - both of them were experiencing serious anxiety as the result of beating an addiction into the ground.

You can do this, and you are. Exercise like a madman - work to exhaustion and it will be easier. Proud to quit with you today.
Listen to this man^^^^ he is exactly right! Anxiety is bad in your quit! Another way for nic to work on you mentally! You got this! Quit on!
Gonna take a little more than 23 days to get yourself rid of some of these things you have done to yourself over the years with tobacco. I had pains and twitches for months after I quit, but now I can tell you I don't have them anymore. Everything you are experiencing will go away eventually. If something doesn't go away see a doctor to get it checked out and then it still will probably be nothing. Quit on!!!! Be strong!!!

I'm in emmmmm boys. 3 weeks down and still got the rage going against the poison can. Feeling a lot better throat is still on the mend and so is the mouth but my mind is getting clearer. Anxiety feelings still creep up but man I still feel awesome.
