Okay guys, the deed is done. I sat down with my wife and explained it all. It was surprisingly easy, and she took it really well, although it was pretty heart breaking to see the look on her face when I referred to myself as an addict. So now I have her support and a huge weight off my chest.
Wastepanel - Thanks for asking me to dig deeper into the “why” question. I think what I said is accurate, that I didn’t take it seriously, but I think there’s a much more simple and straightforward answer. I didn’t want it. Sure, I wanted to be free of the addiction, but I didn’t want to put forth the effort required to make it happen. The truth is, if I really wanted it, there’s no way I would have caved. I think “I didn’t really want it” is the only honest way for anyone to answer the “why” question (unless you were held captive and forced to chew).
Razd611 – Regarding my little pink panties, don’t knock ‘em until you’ve tried ‘em.
Derk40 – Thanks for the quote. Powerful. And 7 days is pretty impressive to some of us…
Posting roll for real on Sunday.
