Day 8 is going well. I got a good night sleep for the second night in a row and the lifesavers and smokey mountain are helping today. Unfortunately I had to give up the seeds.... they are chewing up my gums and cheek pretty bad...anyone else ever have a problem with that? I sucked on seeds for a full day pretty much nonstop so it's no big surprise my mouth hurts......
Same problem, but in reverse.
I was using Smokey Mountain more than seeds. And my gums looked just as bad as when I was dipping. I think anything that you put in your lip or cheeks is gonna cause damage.
Atomic Fireballs.
I'm not even kidding. Get some. They rock...
If you can tolerate the pouches, those are pretty nice and not too bad on your gums.
My unscientific and untested thoughts on this issue. In the beginning, nothing is going to work or taste great. Anything probably works as well as anything else. Put a few pebbles in your cheek. Doesn't matter. Your brain is still trying to squeeze some nicotine out of whatever is in there. When it doesn't get it, brain says its no good, switch to something else.
Don't get me wrong, it helped me tons to have my homemade coffee and brown sugar packets, and then I went through more seeds than I thought possible. Then, eventually, my subconscious brain figured out that it wasn't going to get any nicotine from the crap in my cheek, and then I didn't care.
I am just saying that ultimately, nothing is going to really satisfy. The satisfaction comes from beating down the nic-bitch each and every time she comes calling.
