It is great that you acknowledge your addiction and are trying so hard to break it. Nobody will tell you it's easy and you know that yourself. You are to be congratulated for trying so hard and I hope and pray that you are successful and mostly, that you don't have cancer. If you find out that it is not cancer, don't give up on trying to stop chewing. It will be easy to give in, but be strong because you now know how great the potential is.
It's a shame that the theory that smokeless tobacco is better than smoking tobacco, still exists.
Good luck.
