I woke up this morning with the same sore throat I've had for probably 2 months now. It's freaking me out and I'm getting married in 2 weeks. So I'm ready. Well almost ready I guess. Do I set a quit date or just do it now? Quitting freaks me out, so I thought October 1st was an easy day to remember and do math with. I'm 33 and have only had two 5 month stretches of being quit since I started at 14. The only times I don't chew are when I sleep, and when I eat.
I'm sick of spit cans. Of having to swallow in company meetings. Of having raw cheeks, a sore throat. Of having to buy new jeans only because the back pocket wore all the way through. Sick of not wanting to kiss my hot fiance because I'm worried I smell and taste like shit. And I'm sick of not wanting to look inside my mouth in the mirror because I'll see something that looks like cancer.
I've tried gum, patches, and wellbutrin. I've only ever had any success cold turkey.
So that's where I'm at. Pretty scared right now, should I go see a doc, or wait and see if the sore throat goes away after a couple weeks quit?
