Using Lozenges Daily - Want to Stop!

Hello!

I quit smoking a couple years ago with the help of gum and lozenges. BUT! Now I keep lozenges in my purse and snag one when I’m restless or multitasking...or stressed. It’s like they fill a void. Just like cigarettes did.

I finally brought it up to my life coach who is helping me with the unhelpful thoughts associated with this addiction. But I’d love for some feedback from any of you.

I don’t seem to care if it’s 4 or 2mg, but I’ll pop one about every 2-3 hours. I don’t wake up wanting one and never have one in the night. It’s normally during the workday and when I’m out socializing. Often I use them STILL to stop me from buying cigarettes!

This is such a tough addiction and it can feel very demoralizing. I’m excited to find this community to hopefully make me feel like I have a team! I really want and NEED to stop these things!
