My mood is not the greatest because I havent had a cigarette for awhile. It’s making me angry and short tempered. My wife got me some gum to try from one of those freebie things from insurance. It arrived today so I will be chewing away soon. Hopefully that will help. ---

I’m cranky too. I’ve been without my testosterone medication for over a week and I’m hormonal and my emotional regulation skills are lacking. Horrible timing too. ---

get some velo pouches, the gum may not cut it. i use 9 mg velo plus pouches, the gum is 4 mg and doesnt absorb well even with chew and park method, plus have to purposefully not swallow or get stomach upset. pouches dont make mouth juices, i even drink water with pouches in and soda, take pills etc. no issues and the nicotine lasts longer effect in duration than any other nicotine consumption method so less spikes and crashes than cigs and vape ---
