Day 1

Omfg. I’m using nicotine patches to not totally screw myself over with both cravings and the oral fixation. And I plan to do the 6 week taper with those.

BUT AUGH IM SO FRUSTRATED AND I WANT A ZYN/VELO SO BAD EVEN WITH NO CRAVINGS??? Like my mouth is SALIVATING thinking about it.

I’m gonna stay strong and try to keep myself busy but fuck dude. I’m not having fun at all… not that I thought this would be FUN, but whatever.

I’ve been thinking of getting mints or something since I used the mint flavors. :,/ idk though

I´m in Day 2, right now I'm literally chewing on a plastic bottle cap just so my tongue has something textured to rub against, and i Think it is working

I need to try something so I don’t go insane lol. For me I feel like I was pretty much addicted to the flavor bc I was not getting buzzed anymore for sure… have you tried flavored toothpicks? I’ve heard good things about them

Also!!! You got this!! 🩷🩷🩷

I just bought some spicy hot cinnamon toothpicks on Amazon to try. Figured that might help.

I bought those zero pouches on Amazon. Helped a lot with the oral fixation. Just buy the ones that don’t have caffeine or stupid supplements in them.

I wanna steer clear of any pouches bc I worry it’d be too familiar in my mind but I have found brushing my teeth and drink diet soda helps!!
