Hi
I am a 37 year old male. I have been on and off chewable tobacco, and the more burning problem is cheating my wife (because I was afraid that it will create huge problems). But every time she has caught me and I try to lie but get exposed. We are now at a point where she feels she cant do this no more. I cant live without her, but can certainly live without the can. With that pledge, I am taking today (October 2nd, which happens to be my mom's birthday) as my day 1. I have not been open with her and been a shady guy on a lot of aspects. To her, can is not the most burning problem, but my lack of honesty is. We fell in love and have been married for 7 years (full of problems) and have a three year old (with feeding issues, which my wife is tackling single handedly). I tried to explain to her that nicotine is a substance that will make you dependent on it, and will be an easy resort to multiple forms of depression. She is right, when she asks, I share all the same (and probably more) reasons for depression, but have been able to hold my character integrity.
With solemn resolve, today IS going to be my Day 1 and I am never going back to it - I have done it for a few months at a stretch three times so far. She has access to my account here. I would appreciate if you could share your thoughts, whatever they may be, for my benefit, and her possible (but remote) solace, and a willingness to consider living with me.
Thanks.
