I have been able to bring the amount of pipes down to 6 a day. Weening myself off of cigarettes years ago, I kept a lit pipe in my clench constantly since starting. I know this isn't going to be the most popular move, but if I can get this down to just three pipes a day, I will set the cruise control at that point.
But, I am just not sure what to do with my mouth when not smoking, ha ha. I have actually been chewing gum for the first time since I was like 12 years old. The biggest downfall is that now my wife thinks that I should have to talk to her.
