I have been "quitting" for some time. My wife thinks I quit somewhere around 12 years ago, and I did off and on throughout the years since but basically no one knows. I was addicted to gum for a good two years straight somewhere in there, but I have come to realization that cold turkey is the only way to go. I gave it a trial run and survived 9 days but once again something came up two cans ago and I thought dang it. I just tossed the remainder and am now going for broke. I cannot keep letting the next "chew" dictate my next meal, or impact my travel plans any longer. I have played hide the can/ gum for way too long. Wish me luck!!!
