Hi Keith, I soooo get where you are! You need to take this one step at a time. One can work themselves into a tissy, allowing themselves to become overwhelmed. It is for this reason, ODAAT (one day at a time) made sense to me.
Starting my quit, I literally purchased everything I could put in my mouth (excluding anything from the street corner). This included sunflower seeds, jerky, shredded jerky, every gum available, smokey mountain snuff, grinds pouches, ... etc. Some were more effective than others. 2 weeks into my quit, I was able to shed the fake SM snuff. I can now confidently get through with mostly gum and long commute sunflower seeds. But I had to go through everything else to figure this out. Between these and the protocol set forth on this site, it is the recipe for success.
