What makes this time different? When I stopped using before, it was either because I was forced or because I thought I should give it a shot (half-assed attempt). This time is different because my life depends on it. The big wake-up call is when I started having tooth pain due to a receding gum line. When it gets to that point, the tooth loss is well on its way. We all know that after you start losing teeth, the next step is cancer; either of the neck, the tongue, the throat, the lip, or the cheek. It is also different this time because I am not alone. I am being held accountable by quit brothers and sisters who are fighting the same battle. We have a common enemy in this. This is how this time is different.
