I started with this (chew and spit) right after I quit smoking, almost a decade now. I thought it was a solution, not a problem for the first 5 years. Then, tried with varying degrees of success and failure, to quit on my own. Is this a form of bulimia? What category does it fit into? Anybody out there get hooked on it like I did?
I think the triggers are very much the same as with binge eating and with bulimia.( I binged since I was a teenager, without the purging.) Sometimes I still do that, or a combination of binging and chew and spit.
I guess it doesn't matter where I fit. What I really need is support and strategies for when the triggers occur and I start talking myself into chew and spit again (insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, right?) What do you all do to get through a day without your eating disorder?
