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 and post roll.

You can read about posting roll here.
Tomorrow marks the 9 year anniversary of you being gone. I can't believe all that has happened since you have been gone, 3 of the 4 have graduated high school, 2 of the 4 graduated college, 1 had a baby, we all have jobs, we all got our licenses. I honestly never thought I would make it this far. I so wish that you could be here with me, Alexa, Connor, and Tori. Seeing all of the things we have accomlished...and everything that we still have yet to accomplish. Graduating high school, moving in at college, graduating college, having kids, buying a house, baseball games, first jobs, first girlfriends/boyfriends. I know that you are proud of each and everyone of us, but I/we need to hear it from you. We want you to be here to tell us "Nice pitch", "Congratulations on graduating", "Have I told you I loved you yet today?" (which Kenra and I try to do everyday now :)) It is sometimes just hard to get through the day. And to think...all this over a stupid dip...who would have thought?

"Not thinking about nicotine is for people who've never used nicotine. We threw that option away with the first dip or drag on a cigarette. We are addicts, and cannot become un-addicted." - wildirish317

We are always at risk. And probably always will be. That is why I will never get "too quit" to post my +1. Every. Damn. Day. - geis2597

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 aboard,

-Nolaq
What is your major malfunction?!?!?!?!

have you tried using something like gum, sunflower seeds, or atomic fireballs as a substitute or something to keep your mouth occupied?
