I know it's gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it's something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can't find a habit to replace it with.

It took me 6 tries to quit a 30 year habit. In the end you have to want to quit. Realizing that quitting is the smart move is not the same as wanting to quit. I finally wanted to quit when I just didn't want to go to the fucking store again and smoke in a parking lot because I can't really smoke anywhere else. I decided that I was just done with that shit.

Spent another year on lozenges and quit those for the same reasons.
