I can remember back in 2002 (January 1) I quit for the entire year, cold turkey, no gum, no patches etc. Man I was crabby as hell to. I quit for almost the entire year until I got drunk with my brother (who chewed) and I coaxed him into letting me have just one chew. By the time I got home I had aleady stopped and bought a can, telling myself that I would only have one just a once in a while. Didn't work and I was back at it until last night when my brother and I made a bet that we would both quit today.
