    Nicotine withdrawal is a wonder

    I used the gum to quit about 10 years ago.  I used to chew one and then cheek it for a while.  When I got the urge I'd chew it a bit then cheek it.   I'd use one piece for 8-10 hours.     Try to chew one piece 4 hours while cheeking it.  Then slowly keep it in longer each time.    Try that.  

    And Good Luck!  You got this! 

    I'm afraid there's no way I could keep one piece in for 4 hours. I've grown accustomed to when the flavor is gone, out goes the old piece and in goes the new piece. 

     

    I'll just power through the symptoms. You're right when you said "I got this"!

    Side note: went to lunch today and passed an art gallery I’ve been passing for years, always looking for something special on display. Nothing ever awed me…until today. Today they had amazing blown glass angels. My wife LOVES blown glass, and she LOVES angels. I’ve never seen them all wrapped up in one! There is an angel in every room of our house. This was not a signed Kelly jersey, but a pretty cool early Christmas present and housewarming gift (we close on a new house 4 doors away tomorrow). This will be the first thing we move in.  

    Congrats on the move and the great gift for your wife!

    Nicotine withdrawal is a wonder

    I quit smoking New Years Eve 2019. I have been chewing Nicotine gum ever since, but the lowest milligram level possible. (2mg). 

     

    Yesterday I decided to just chew regular gum, as I (or so I thought) was getting more satisfaction from the flavor of the gum, rather than the nicotine itself. 

     

    I feel like I stopped smoking 3 packs a day, cold-turkey. I was chewing about 15 to 20 pieces of the 2 mg gum per day. This feeling of somewhat intense withdrawal symptoms is a bit surprising.

    My wife is a dyslexia therapist, and a couple of her students also have Aspergers. I showed her your answer, and here are her questions as a follow up:

    Do you have issues with print/printed words?
    Do you have any troubles getting the words in your head written down on paper?

    greetings, I am a mom to a high functioning aspie and as being her mom I have learned a lot But IMO it would be better if she took time to talk to you herself. Do you think thats a good idea? I will ask her and show her the thread in any case.

     

    If you look down the thread list probably page 2 or so you will see a thread I posted regarding Katrina. 

     

    talk to you soon hopefully 🙂

    Muppy, that's an excellent idea having your amazingly talented daughter reach out!

    I think there's something that most of us have, that for one reason or another, has not come up in conversation. You would never know they are dealing with "x". 
     

    I have Bipolar I with Rapid Cycling. Thankfully I have found a medication that has kept it under great control, and found a wife that understands it and helps me through any cycling episodes I may be having. 

     

    What is the biggest issue you have with Aspergers?

    My friend is interviewing Sting for his radio show

    in Off the Wall

    Posted

    His name is Ronnie Littlejohn, and he hosts The Gumbo Kitchen which airs on Fridays from 9pm to 1am on jazz.fm out of Toronto. The show is all about New Orleans style of Jazz. 


    Sting's manager heard the show when he was in Toronto during the summer, and fell in love with it. Within a week, he had Sting do a promo slot for the show. After talking to the manager, Ronnie was informed today that Sting himself has heard the show via internet and wanted to be interviewed for it. 

     

    Can't wait to hear this!
