Good luck on both counts.

Been 4 months here! It's been amazing all the money I've saved. Purchased a new laptop with funds that would have went up in smoke :)

Thanks for bumping. I've been a non-smoker for about six weeks. I used nicorette to help quit and now only chew a few pieces a week.

I never used the nicorette, but I switched to gun to replace the oral fixation. After all this time, I still chew gum almost constantly.

At least my breath stays minty-fresh. :D

Paging Dr. Freud......

Oh shit LMAO

I chewed gum for awhile after I quit. Then I started having jaw problems, Dentist told me to lay off the gum :(

Damn, dude, how hard were you chewing it? :spock:

fucking smoking bans *chompchompchomp* gawddamned fucking stupid ass smoking bans *CHOMPCHOMPCHOMPCHOMPCRRAAACK!!*

I was chewing a piece practically all the time. The dentist told me I was getting TMJ

I've had problems before where my jaw has dislocated itself, not fun. The Dr told me that this constant chewing was making my condition worse. I may have to opt for surgery someday, but until then I watch what I chew.

I still enjoy munching carpet though, that'll never stop o:-)

You're on a roll today. :D

There should be a new product on the market within the next few months that should help you stop smoking. This product is a pill designed to shut down the part of the brain that "gets high" from nicotine. The theory is, if you don't get any "buzz" from smoking, you will break the addiction b/c there is no benefit.

Actually, there are about 3 products in the works that utilize this treatment theory, one of which should be on the market this year (my dad is a doc who told me this info).

I have been having some crazy cravings as of late.


869 days, 3 hours, 57 minutes and 9 seconds smoke free.

17383 cigarettes not smoked.

$3,588.97 and 4 months, 12 days, 18 hours of your life saved.

Your quit date: 3/17/2006



I am really close to throwing that all away, its bad..

I don't know what it's like to go through that, but I really hope you can overcome it. Maybe take a jog or do something to keep your mind off of it.

Dude, start working out. it kicks in endorfens that will make you feel good. don't throw all of that away.

it's gonna be 8 years for me on September 2nd, I don't even think about it anymore.
