In that article Brad Peacock of the Washington Nationals said he doesn't dip in front of his kids. So his kids don't watch his games? What about the millions of other kids who watch him spit all over the pitcher's mound? Addict speak all over this article.
Yep. I don't remember a single one of them calling it anything other than a "habit." It just makes you shake your head.
I guess I give a pass to calling it a habit while you are using, whether its dip, or heroin, or meth or whatever. Identifying yourself as an addict compels you to do something about it. If you are not ready to do something about it, you have to identify yourself a different way...like someone who "has a bad habit".
I'm not saying it's right, rather it is the way our addicted brains apparently work.
You probably won't hear a crack head call himself a crackhead until he gets himself in recovery. I guess I don't see nicotine any different than crack....except you can by it in the store and use it at work if you want to.
That's what I like and respect about you guys and KTC philosophy....call a spade a spade and speak the gospel truth about this nasty shit we all loved so much and the companies and industries that push it to make money.
