Evie, treat this ice addiction just like AL. You NEED to have it. OKAY. Just crush the bloody stuff first.

We have found the softest ice that they sell and we leave it out for about 1/2 hour to start to melt before I chew it ....Hubby is very understanding but i think it is time to try and stop for good. i made it 3 days a while back but then went back into full force and even worse with my Bros. death.
I am ready to try again. Don't really know how to start. There is nothing that i can replace it with. I have been trying different kinds of teas and gum. I used Jelly belly gourmet beans in different flavors last time I stopped but they aren't helping any more.I can sure use your help !!!
I know it sounds SILLY but it is a REAL PROBLEM !!!

Evie, I know how you felt with your brother. It was great you sorted things before he died. Do you think it may have struck a chord with something else?

Hey, I should have thought about it before! Frozen fruit. Healthy and you can't bite down on them so much.

I think the ice chewing started because i became anemic from a episode of bleeding from pancreatitis, back when i was drinking. Then it became a sorta obsessive completion that I am now ready to STOP...
Just haven't figured out quite how to go about stopping it yet ?? seems like it is similiar to stopping smoking so I thought maybe some peeps who had be successful at that could give me some suggestions ??
Maybe Irish eyes has run across a crazy person alike me and heard of a way to help them ??
I tried using the MWO Cds .....can think of plenty of role models to look to who have over come addictions to Heroin, alcohol, nicotine but ICE ??? I just couldn't think think of a single soul ???
At least my sense of humor isn't as broken as my molars are.....LMFCTO !!!!

Yeah, I'm right with you there. Nobody! But ice can be addictive. I just haven't gone as far as you. But I live in heat. You are in a cold climate aren't you? I do know what you are saying and if I absolutley need ice in my fridge.
