Hello All,
After 25 years, I quit the chew on March 23, 2014 and thought all was good. Bought myself some nicorette gum and somehow worked myself up to almost a pack of gum per day. My mouth was in worse shape chewing on the gum than it was when I was chewing. I was all pumped to post on this site in May and boast that I had quit chewing and was only chewing gum. Glad I didn't because I really wasn't quit. On May 22nd while out of town for work, I tossed the gum away too. Figured since I'm away from home, can't sleep for shit in a hotel room anyways, might as well go through the nicotine withdrawls by myself. It's now June 19th and I haven't had a chew since March 23rd and nicotine since May 22nd. It hasn't been easy, as you all know but I will not allow myself to go back to chewing. I look forward to hitting all the milestones along with everyone else on this great site.
Thanks
