Its now day 19

[veezer]

I'm on day 107 and the tongue thing comes and goes. I think at first it was changes in my mouth chemistry and nerves healing, but now I think it is more due to the fact that without skoal I have a tendency to push my tongue up against my teeth and pull back a little making a sort of vaccuum and it makes my tongue feel weird. I probably always did it a little, but now I do it alot.

I would say your are having some of the same issues with your mouth chemistry changing and the other stuff could just be allergies. Everyone here is having a horrible time with sore throats and cold like symptoms.

Hang in there. It will take some time, but things will get better. I know it's hard to believe that all this weird shit will go away but it will in time. You have to figure in how long you used and your body cant just heal overnight from all the shit you put in it for years.

I appreciate the information that you have been providing about having tongue issues. I'm on day 43 of my quit and have been having some issues with a crappy white film on my tongue as well as some sore throat issues. It seems to come and go but lately seems to be more of an issue than not. occasionally I'll get a slight ear ache as well.This has all started since my August 13th quit. Like you guy's the anxiety comes and go. I think mostly due to the tongue issues. Have any of you experienced any of the same things?

Today is day 89. Hard to believe it's been nearly 3 months since I quit. For some reason, the cravings have hit me this past weekend. I think it is probably due to football starting and thinking a lot about hunting season as well. I guess I am going through a lot of triggers right now but I will not give in and all I have to do is remember all the hell I went through the first month or so and its not even a question as to if I will give in to the temptation. The tongue thing is still going on. Not sure what it is and neither does anyone else. For some reason it's just really sensitive and hopefully will go away in time.

Hang in there vee, you're doing great! Day 261 for me I still have cravings almost everyday, but it's not intense ,it's the almost like a reminder, hey I'm still waiting on you to slip up. As far as tongue issue, mine is actually hurting as I'm writing this but I'm pretty sure it's from using fake. Either way I'm quit, happier than I've been in year's and physically feeling better than I have in year's. You got this, it's tough but you're man enough to deal with it. Damn proud to be quit with you today my friend!

Today was day 60 and I'm doing good but this tongue thing is getting the best of me. Seems like it was getting better but has returned this week. Still feels like I burned it on hot coffee all the time. I think I will try to go to the doctor tomorrow and see if they can tell me anything. I'll probably just hear the same thing.....it will go away eventually. I'm not the kind of person that deals well with vague answers though. I need certainty and a scientific answer to all this.

If anyone here had an issue like this that lasted this long, please let me know what the outcome was. I'm beginning to think that this is the beginning of something worse to come.......

Day 50...

The funk is gone and I feel more normal every day. No more depression and actually am feeling happy again like I used to. I think that shit is finally out of my system and my system is glad that it is gone. I pulled an all nighter at work the other day and if I had still been dipping I probably would have went through an entire can that night. I had a few little craves, but nothing major. It is amazing how you get used to not having that shit anymore and how easy it is the longer you go without it.

Still having tongue issues and this week I have a really weird metallic taste in my mouth. Hopefully that means my taste buds are healing back and working again after being skoal burned for 25 years.

Thanks to you all who have reached out and responded to my questions and helped me get this far. I only hope I can do the same for others.

Congrats on your Half A HOF!
you should be proud of yourself, keep quittin hard and stay connected!

Proud to be quit with you today!

Today is Day 47 and it seems like week two is recycling. Couldn't sleep worth a shit last night, tongue issues are back with a vengeance, headache and just kind of feel like shit this morning. Hopefully, it will get better as the day goes but this shit sucks. I tried the mouth wash the dentist gave me but it seems to have made it worse.

Had a dream the other night that I had a big dip in and was trying to spit it out and couldnt get it all out and was thinking about how I had been lying to all of you as I was posting roll. Man, I guess if nothing else posting roll and promising to you all gets deep down in the subconscious.

Goes with territory! Putting that shit in is what caused all these issues your having, that's a damn good reason not to do it again! You got this! I know you get tired of hearing this but it will get much better, no one can tell you when but it's worth of every damn second! Quit on!

As for the tongue issues I have been having, she pretty much said it is just part of the healing process and that I have been coating it with skoal for all those years and now it isn't there. She said it would eventually go away, but hard to tell when. She gave me a prescription mouth rinse that might help. Haven't tried it yet. Basically, it is a rinse to prevent infections in the mouth.

Quit is strong in here.
All you guest......
Listen and learn.

Join veezer and KTC.

Start your quit today.

Respecting you and your start Veez!
I quit with you today.

Awesome quit accomplishment for you and your Day 42! You are an inspiration to us all.

She is 5, she won't remember you dipping, as long as you remain quit.

She will, however, be able to point out any other flaw you might have for the rest of your life!

[pab1964]

Just came back from the Dentist for the first time in about 2 years and she said that everything looks great! She can hardly even tell that I dipped for 25 years.

I asked her about things to look for and she said that if you have a white patch that doesn't go away after two weeks that you should definitely have it checked out. And, if you don't have anything show up in your mouth after two weeks of quitting, you probably wont every have any problems. I hope that is the case for all of us.

'oh yeah'

Glad to hear it Veezer. Don't get complacent now, keep killing it!

Hopefully that is a little pressure off of your chest now. Did she talk about the tongue issue at all? Anyway, Congrats Bro.

Now brother, relax and enjoy the freedom! Be thankful that you heard what you wanted to hear and don't ever stick that shit in your mouth again! Quit on my friend!
