It starts today...

[Skoal Monster]

My name is Heath and by most accounts I've had a pretty good 39 year run. Served ten years in the World's Finest Navy and served the last ten continuing the good fight in the private sector. I have a lovely wife who has put up with me for 10 years and has blessed me with two beautiful children, 5 and 7. I have never smoked. I have never used drugs. I enjoy a good cocktail, but I can go months without drinking anything. I like food, but I'm not a glutton.

Ladies and gentlemen, what I am though, is an addict. I fully admitted as much to my wife last night. Now I admit it to you. Most importantly, I admitted it to myself. I am an addict to the tune of a can and a half of Copenhagen a day for 21 years. I spent a lot of time on this site yesterday. After reading some of the journey's that most of you have taken, it left me reduced to a blubbering idiot. I was a broken man because I realized that I had so much to be thankful for and have people in my life who depend on me. If I let addiction control my life, what kind of man am I to help others? How can I look my kids in the eye and tell them what not to do? I prefer to lead by example and there is no substitute for being a good example to your children. It's time for the weakness to stop. My commitment started last night. Now if you will excuse me, I'm taking my ass over and posting roll.

First, thanks for your service. Second, that intro was greatness!!! Quitting is about making YOU a better YOU. Setting a great example for your kids and hanging around to be with your wife are just the perks of being a badass quitter.

Embrace the suck. Your attitude will determine your success. Welcome the fog...it is the feeling of healing. Train your mind to appreciate the withdrawals. You GET to feel this shitty because YOU DECIDED to be free. That shitty feeling is a privilege.

You'll always be an addict. But, there is no shame in that. What is shameful is the addicts that never decide to do anything about it. You, sir, are controlling your addiction. Check out the Tom and Jenny Kern story at the KillTheCan.org link above. Like I said, quitting is about YOU. But there is a ton of motivation in their story. Let's make our success part of the silver lining to his unfortunate story.

Great intro Heath. Now follow it up everyday. On day 3 or day 10 or day 1000 you will stay an addict. Glad to have you here.

Welcome aboard Heath, it's easier than you think it will be.

strap on your helmet, lets get this done
