Hi Guys,
I am about a 12 year user. I have continually tried to quit over the years and have not made it more than a couple months. The saddest thing is that I never told my wife the extent of my use....I am an addict. My wife caught me the other day and it really hurt her that I had kept this from her...damaged the trust we had ya know. We had talks and I realized that my habit is jeopardizing the most precious thing that I have in my life...the relationship I have with my wife.
2 days ago I threw out my can and began my quit. I cannot continue to jeopardize the things that are important to me including my health. And I damn sure don't want to quit after I lose teeth or get cancer. I'm moving on with my life one quit day at a time! Thanks to those who have already reached out to me. And thanks in advance to those I will reach out to lean on in the future.
The past is past....the future is now...I Quit!!!! 'na na'

Jake,
Just remember it is an addiction not a habit. Be honest and open with her and if she truly cares she will be there for you. You have a good group of quitters get to know them and count on them.

Welcome Jake. If you haven't already done so, go read Worktowin's post this morning in his intro. You're not the only one here who's a true :ph43r: hiding this from family, friends, loved ones, coworkers. The good news is that healing is possible. ODAAT!

Jake you have come to the right place if you are serious about quitting. Read everything on this website. Start with the welcome center and then read intros, words of wisdom, and HOF speeches. Reading will educate you about the enemy: nicotine addiction, and that will better prepare you for the tough fight quitting is. Own this quit and do no try and be a ninja quitter; get involved on this site and make some connections with your fellow quitters. That will help your accountability which is one of the best things KTC has to offer. PM me if you need a # or have any questions.

Have you told your wife about KTC?

Welcome aboard. Best decision you'll ever make. It is amazing how many of us hid this addiction, and for how long. You aren't alone in that, or in your quit. There are thousands of us on the sidelines cheering you on. If you need us, we will be there. Post your promise first thing, keep your word. And reach out and make some friends. This site can save your life if you buy into the formula. What you are experiencing now is terrible. No pain, no gain... Right? The freedom you will receive from this process is beyond description.
If I can help, let me know.

Welcome aboard Jake. Quitting aint easy and sometimes it just flat out sucks. On the other hand though, its probably the most rewarding thing ever. Im only 21 days into my quit but it gets better everyday. Im in the same quit group as you so if you need anything at all, just holler at me

Jake just a few words from another ninja dipper. I hid the shit from my wife for 33 years and lied to everyone including myself. I tried to quit everyday, or at least that's what I told myself. I didn't quit after each of my gum grafts, after losing half a dozen teeth or after multiple scary sores. The pull from our addiction is damn strong in fact it can cause us to be total jerks. If I can quit after 40+ years of stupidity so can you.

Thanks for all the support guys. I have told my wife about kick the can, and while she is supportive, she is still pretty hurt that I hid this from her. I suppose time will heal though. Sincerely thanks for the kind words. To those of you in my quit groups and all of the other groups Thank you and continue to be strong...it makes me a believer!
