Jim,
Welcome to the quit!! Sounds like you've got your head screwed on straight. I chew gum like crazy. Mint, usually...sometimes I'll take a little cayenne pepper and sprinkle it on the gum. Gives a nice kick. Drinking a ton of water is good too.
Reach out to anyone of us if you need to vent. Post roll every day. Stay with us one day at a time.
Glad to be quit with today.
