What if I stop the gum today-

After going to whyquit.com (great website!) I decided to stop chewing the nicotine gum. I realized I was just prolonging the withdrawl and I just want to get it over with!Does this mean that I have to start the REAL withdrawl now and that everything I have been going through for the past four days doesn't count? I don't get it.It's been two hours since my last piece of gum and I can tell the withdrawl is bad already without the gum. This makes me feel as if all the progress I've made for the past four days was all an illusion.l The gum was just making it seem easier than it was.Now that I don't have the gum, do I have hell to look forward to again for the next four days? How does this all work????Margot
