I have been a 2-3 can a week chewer for the past 13 years. Major life changes are forcing me to reexamine the importance of quitting. I have sharmefully hid my addiction from my wife over the last 5 years with her "catching me" a few times over the years. The last fight we had was an eye-opener to say the least. I just turned 30, and I am expecting my first child in 2 months. The motivation to quit has never been stronger. I really hope that this forum will provide some much needed strength.
Z, first of all welcome aboard. Second of all, toss hope out the window. You either do or do not here. That's it, those are your only options. You need to do this for you. The tangential benefits to your family are great, but they cannot be the reason you do this. Quit for you. Quit for your FREEDOM. Quit because you are no longer willing to subject yourself to the SLAVERY you have endured for 13 long years. Take your life back NOW, before it's too late.
Post roll tonight. Keep your promise. Wake up tomorrow and post first thing again tomorrow. Let's go man, ball's in your court. Do you have the cajones to take your life back? Or will you be the next statistic? For your sake, I hope it's the former. Post roll, open yourself up to this site, and jump in with everything you've got. It'll pay off, I'm a newbie, but I'm proof.
