I smoked since I was 14, I now have now quit smoking for almost 2 years now,,,, the 27th of this month will be 2 years,
I have quit smoking many times in the past,,, using the patch, gum cold turkey etc, This time I used that Chantex (sp) and it worked, Although I had a side effect from it,,,made me dizzy so I couldn't totally complete the whole session, But managed to stay away from smoking, About a week being off the pills,,, I had a bad moment and I was going to go to the store and get me a pack of cigs, But instead I bought Nicorette gum, I have been chewing it ever since, I am not sure if I even want to go off it because I love it so much, I don't get the rush from it,,,like i would like a cigerette,,,but whatever its doing its good enough for me, The only draw-back is the cost, I chew a box of 4mg a week, I have tried to cut back the mgs to 2 but end up going back to 4, Is this a bad thing? I know eventually I will have to quit chewing nicorette gum, I don't EVER want to smoke again, Its so hard to quit. And yes if someone is going to tell me to chew regular gum,,,yes I have tried that as well. Its not the same as the gum, Oh and the gum just like cigerettes there is only one certain gum I chew, I do have an addicted personality,,, Im a recovered Alcholic as well. I just wonder if the gum is real bad for me.
