ruthie9 If you are under a doctors care, please ask him for his advice. Everyone is different, I dont know anything about the mints, I went cold turkey. Find your strength deep down inside of you. Pray, ask for guidance, that power we have to achieve greatness is within reach, we just have to find the way, our own way. We were not made to fail. We have CHOICES in life. Unfortunately but also gratefully, we have free will, and have to decide for ourselves whats best for us. Listen to your body, your heart, your soul.. You will find your answer. Keep me posted... thinkin of you.. joann
