Im on day 7 of quitting and I am severely biting the inside of my mouth up. Is this normal??
-
have you tried using something like gum, sunflower seeds, or atomic fireballs as a substitute or something to keep your mouth occupied?

Welcome Lj! This is the best decision you ever made, and you are in the BEST place for support, and help.
What you are experiencing is very common among new Quitters. So are sore throats, bleeding gums, and a whole bunch of other shit. You've poisoned yourself for how ever many years, and now 7 days later (congrats, btw), your body is throwing a temper tantrum.
Get some seeds. Gum. Life Savers. Fake dip (no nicotine). Mints. Toothpics. What ever you can get your hands on to help with the oral fixation.
The nicotine is out of your system, now it's a mind game.

Welcome and congrats on a week of quit. I noticed this was your first post. You should get on over to The January 2016 Quit Group (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/11341759/267/#new) and post roll.
You can read about posting roll here. (http://forum.killthecan.org/topic/1003072/1/)

Lj, I like to do one thing at a time. 1) is quitting dip. Find that pacifier to help with the oral fixation. You just donÂ’t want to replace it with eating all day or you will have another problem. 2) see number 1.

I appreciate the advice. Thank you all.

I'm on day 82 and still bite the piss out of my gums. An important note on that, I'm no longer stuffing evilness after biting my gums.
Keep strong! Quit on, one day at a time.
-
Congratulations on your quit. Try eating some fruit - apples. That helped me a great deal. I also love the fire balls. Those will wake you up!
Let us know what trick helped you with the gum biting thing.
-
So I bought some gum. Whenever I get a super bad craving or I start biting the inside of my mouth/gums I throw a piece of gum in my mouth. It seems to alleviate the craving and give me something to chew on other then the inside of my mouth. Thank you guys for the support. The struggle is real tho. So many triggers to the craving.
-
It's all about you bud. One day at a time. The cravings and triggers are a pain. It's amazing how controlled we are by the nic. I couldn't take a dump, a shower, mow the lawn, watch tv etc. without the nasty in my mouth. We didn't need it per say, our mind said we did.
I sunflowered myself to blahsville. Now im stuck on lifesaver hard candy.

I think that was my fault. LJ the best part about posting roll is that when you mess up someone will fix it! :D
The important part is that you are here with us quit.
