My very last can of dip was just thrown away, marking the beginning of a long journey. I started dipping several years ago, although the exact amount of time is ambiguous, probably due to the effects of this poison. I hid it from my wife for a long time, she caught me, I told her I quit, she caught me again and accepted that me quitting had to be my choice. I hated hiding, peeping through the blinds to make sure she wasn't coming, running to the store for no reason, and taking a long shower just to fill my cravings. I own a small painting business and am so ashamed of my habit that I would look out windows real quick to make sure the owners had not arrived every time I heard a noise. December 11 was my original quit date because that is the day that my wife is having her IUD (birth control) removed so that we can proudly add another soul to our family, which currently consists of her, I, and our beautiful 3 year old daughter. After reading so many experiences on this site, I have decided to expedite my quit date to tomorrow. Therefore, I will be checking into roll call early tomorrow, and I will need some hands to hold during this process. I know that I can do it. During my previous "quits" or "momentary stops", my wife was not very encouraging at all! Mostly because she does not understand this weird addiction. However, this time is different. She seems to empathize what I will be going through and wants to help in any way that she can. I read through the Spousal Support, and will have her look at it as well, for I will need as much support as I can get in the coming months, or days, if you will. I want to thank you all already for the inspiration you have already given me..
