Chew for 15 seconds then place it by your gums for 15 minutes or until it stops “burning”. Then repeat. ---

Well, I bought a pack of nicotine gums. I was feeling too awful. I had to go to an engagement party and wasn’t feeling well at all. I’ve had three gums the whole day. I’m taking one in the morning, one after dinner and one before bedtime. Then I’ll quit the nicotine gums when I run out. ---

One week without tobacco. I still feel nicotine cravings but the gum is helping. I went to the store without buying any, I promised myself not to buy any tobacco. At least I’m not dizzy, shaking and sweating anymore. ---
