Oral addiction....I am at almost Day 50 and still seem to have the oral addiction of wanting to have something in my mouth even more than a cigarette. How long does this last in general and has anyone else experiences this. I am eating alot of cinnamon gum, suckers, lemon drop, cinnamon drops and on occasion nic gum.
Just as every person is unique, so is every quit journey. You might try including things that aren't sugar and take a bit longer, like maybe celery or carrot sticks (add some low cal dip for a bit more flavor), or even frozen grapes. Sugar is a bit addicting, as well, so you might be needing things to satisfy THAT! You also might try flavored toothpicks (you can buy cinnamon flavor and also make your own by soaking in orange juice or lemonade and letting them dry).
Straws cut into cigarette lengths are something else you can chew on or use to breathe in air.
Congrats on 50 days!!! You are halfway to the TDC (Triple Digit Club)!
