I wanted to start this more as a progression of my journey from slave to free man! I have never known life as an adult without some form of nicotine in my system. The longest time period without it would be somewhere in the ballpark of several weeks, maybe a month. So this journey is scary and failure is my biggest adversary.
I am quitting because of me. You see, I am a father to two beautiful daughters with another on the way in February. My wife is an incredible lady who has put up with the lies and the hiding of my addiction from her and still has offered her help with this final quit! And this will be the end of my marriage to nicotine. I am cutting the cord and never looking back. I have prepared my mind and spirit well for this fight. This site is the nail in the coffin for me because even though I don't know anyone here, we are all in the same boat. We are all going through or have been through the pain, suffering and loss of control that nicotine addiction brings with it. So as I have done for the first 5 days of my journey as a free man, I will post roll every day, I will pledge not to touch nicotine in any way, shape, or form for that day, and I will reach out to those who have come before me and ask for help when needed. And when my journey reaches a point where control is back in my hands, I will take my experience and help those who are overcoming their addiction.
I look forward to a day when the world wakes up and puts those bastard tobacco companies out of business and treats them as the murderous no good slime that they are!
