Extra was also my go to after I finished with the nicotine gum. I think I probably miss nicotine gum more now than I miss smoking.

Good for you for trying and do what you think will work best for you. Whatever you do, don’t get down on yourself if you can’t do it on your first or second or tenth attempt. Just try again and one of those attempts will stick.

I chewed the gum. I chewed that shit like a cow, all day, going through multiple pieces a day and I got hooked on the knot in the throat sensation from the nicotine. I chewed it for 3 years, gradually switching to the lower dosage and eventually switching it out for regular gum.

Started smoking when I was nine, smoked for roughly a cumulative 25 years, quit for good in 2013
