Hello Everyone, and thanks in advance for the motivation you have all already provided. I made a decision to fight my addiction last Friday, and today is Day 1. The cravings have been intense, and I am glad I stumbled upon this forum, because what I've been reading here has helped reinforce all the reasons I have for stopping my addiction. I was the worst kind of addict. I would lie to my wife, and make up excuses to dip. Tell my little kids I was chewing spit gum, and avoid going to the dentist for fear he would detect my deception. When I think of all the money I wasted over the past 15 years it makes me sick, and I cannot wait to get to know the rest of you whom I wisely decided to join in confronting my addiction. God Speed.~ Peter
