I am trying to quit. I've chewed since I was 13, I'm now 45. My wife tells me I am weak, and that I must not love my family because I can't (won't) quit. I don't know what to do. I wish I was strong and able to quit. Please help. I don't know much about this site, but don't know where else to turn. I spent 22 years in the Army and have grown to make excuses for not quitting, probably common for most. I continually feel like my body is shutting down, as if cancer is spreading through me, but I never seem to bring myself to put the stuff down. I guess she's right.
