You have already done the hardest part of quitting. YOU decided to quit. I quit chewing probably 15 times before I decided I was ready to quit. Once I did I quit cold turkey. The worst time for me was when I was on my scroll saw, because I always chewed when I cut. I ate sunflower seeds for awhile, which helped, and eventually just got over the need to do something. Haven’t chewed since Dec 1996. I know this doesn’t give you anything to do, but just keep telling yourself that you WILL NOT start back. You should be proud of yourself!!!! It’s the only time I’ve been proud of myself for being a “quitter”!
