Okay today is a better day. My mind is much clearer today. I made it through another morning commute with no chew. I will not chew today! I can do this one day at a time and with all of your support.

Day 4. After today, the dependency on nicotine will be gone. Now get ready to rewire your brain. Even though you physically wont crave it. Your mind will feel out of service. Like writing with the other hand, simple functions and thoughts will be difficult.

Be prepared to still have habits calling you. Triggers are the things that will make you think about chewing. Part of rewiring is functioning without dip for things you always did with dip.

Example, the first time mowing my lawn. Major trigger to dip. (I always dipped when I mowed the lawn) Once I resisted the first time, mowing the lawn wasn't hard without dip.

My first road trip. Thought about dipping the whole time. Next road trip. I didn't miss it.

So you will have many triggers fire. Just know that once you over come the trigger, the power and grip tobacco has on you lessons. It takes some time but it will become easy one day.
Quit And Be Free

Thanks to everyone who helped me get through this panic attack. I feel much better now. Still freaked out but I will give it a few more days . Friday will be about 2 weeks. If it is still there then I will be sure to get support from you guys and get it checked out.

I am not sure what is going on if it is the nic bitch screwing with me or what. I just broke down and started crying in the shower. It's been over a week and the sore in my mouth is still there. The voice in my head is telling me it is cancer. It can't be cancer I need to be here for my wife and kids. I am freaking out. How am I going to make it through tomorrow? Damit I feel like a big pussy. Cancer is some scary shit!
panic attacks are scary shit... and pretty common- especially when dealing with something as stressful as quitting dip. It may take more than one week for the sores to go away. Stop by the doctor to have it checked out- this will get you some peace of mind. Tell him/her about what's going on mentally... they might give you a script to help you cope while you get past the worst of this. At any rate- both the sores and the panic attacks will most likely pass quickly.
If your worried get it checked, it's worse wondering. Worst case you catch it early , best case you get a huge weight lifted. I'm not a doctor but from experience here , most shit that happens within the first two weeks is quit related. That being said , when in doubt don't hesitate to get checked, there's no waiting when it come to cancer. Hesitation kills.

As for the emotional melt down, it's totally normal. Nicotine screws with your bodys endorphins, your trying to adjust to not being poisoned. Just stay away from old episodes of golden girls, and Disney movies and you'll be fine.
I have been plagued with cold sores my entire life. Now I am not a doctor but the sore could be a canker sore. They cane be brought on by changes in ph balances, stress, low immune system or constipation. You are going through a tonne of sht riow and your body is adjusting. Ths is just another stage. But do get it checked out

I'm scared as shit of going to the doctor. It would be nice to have piece of mind but I don't think I can deal with the bad news right now. My heart is beating a million times a minute. Damn this sucks!
Anxiety is a mighty funny thing, I know it all too well. I've been there many a time. Why's it got to be bad news?? Probably just that herpes of yours flaring up again :unsure:

Look if by the slim slim slim chance it is cancer...well then you need to get out ahead of it. Waiting does you no good...just will make you crazier.

Make an appointment. Get your wife to go with you. Find out what is going on.
Totally been there dude, even at day 34 had large sore show up on upper gums, scarrry shit, but went away after a very long week, your mouth will got through a LOT of changes as you continue, its hard not to panic, but remember one thing, cancer does NOT just show up out of nowhere. It is a longer growth period with subtle changes at first. stay strong friend.

"CLOSE THE DOOR. In my opinion, it?s the single most important step in your final quit. There is one moment, THE moment, when you finally let go and surrender to the quit. After that moment, no temptation will be great enough, no lie persuasive enough to make you commit suicide by using tobacco."

KJ settle down there us no need to freak out, it won't do one bit of good. Relax make an appointment with dentist or Dr tomorrow. Sounds like your having a panic attack. Sores are most likely nothing and will go away soon.

Make an appointment tomorrow with your dentist. Get it checked out. Get some peace of mind. Odds are much more that it is something aside from cancer.

Early in my quit I was taking around 3 showers a day....it was one of the few things that would make me feel better. I remember one time that I was in basically the fetal position rocking on the floor of the shower....wondering how I was ever going to make it through this hell. I made it through and you will too.
Sounds 100% like a panic attack to me. They SUCK. I know- I've been there.

I have had mouth sores, at various times in my quit... had that nagging thought in the back of my mind... worried about them... and guess what- they were all just part of the healing process my mouth was going through. It is VERY unlikely that it is cancer. Get it checked out- you'll see.
