Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Gutkha contain nicotine which is highly addictive. It is good that you are able to control and eating gutkha twice only. In such low dose you should stop gutkha yourself as it can lead to mouth cancer after prolong use (12 years in your case)

In treatment anti-craving and nicotine replacement therapy is helpful. If you are not able to stop yourself then, for deaddiction you can meet nearby psychiatrist.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
