Thank you for everything! I just read your post, and it has inspired me to try quitting your way. I picked up a prescription for the Chantix yesterday because I chew about 70 pieces of Nicotine gum per day and not only am I concerned about the health aspect, but more so, that the price is killing me. Sounds sad, but everyone needs a reason to quit. I am afraid of starting the Chantix because of the posted side effects, so I will try to quit the gum cold turkey for three days. I only have one box of gum left so I will start in about two days. I hope I can cope. :) It gets so easy to forget why you want to quit so much.
Thanks.
Nicole
