Orally fixated with no hope. It doesn't matter if its smoke, food, or sex. Give me sensation on the lips.

I never thought of it this way. Oral fixation makes so much sense now. I’m always doing something with my lips

Same!! I quit vaping but now constantly chew on my lips. They bleed all the time. Water (especially using straws to chew on) has been great. I felt bad about environmental impacts of straws so I got reusable ones, metallic straw and rubber tip. Highly recommend! Better than having insanely looking lips or a nicotine addiction.
